YIELD TO MATURITY: The annual rate of return on a financial asset that is held until maturity. Yield to maturity depends on both the coupon rate and the face or par value paid at maturity. If the selling price of a financial asset is equal to its par value, then the yield to maturity is equal to the current yield and the coupon rate. However, if the asset is selling at a discount, then the yield to maturity exceeds the current yield, which is greater than the coupon rate. And if the asset is selling at a premium, then the yield to maturity is less than the current yield, which is below than the coupon rate.

    Elasticity and Demand

    Elasticity is the relative responsiveness of one variable to changes in another variable. Economists find this notion of elasticity quite useful in the study of markets. In this lesson, we examine the basics of demand elasticity, especially the price elasticity of demand.

    • The first unit of this lesson, An Overview, gets us started with a review of several concepts related to elasticity and demand.
    • In the second unit, The Continuum, we take a close look at how the five elasticity alternatives are reflected by demand curves.
    • The third unit, Measurement, runs through some numbers for measuring the price elasticity of demand, and how elasticity values related to a straightline demand curve.
    • The fourth unit, Determinants, examines how the three determinants of elasticity affect the elasticity coefficient.
    • The fifth unit and final unit, Other, closes this lesson by introducing examine three related elasticity measures.

    INDUCED CONSUMPTION

    Household consumption expenditures that depend on income or production (especially disposable income, national income, or even gross domestic product). That is, changes in income induce changes in consumption. Induced consumption captures the fundamental psychological law put forth by John Maynard Keynes. It is measured by the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) and is reflected by the positive slope of consumption line. The alternative to induced consumption is autonomous consumption, which does not depend on income.
