LEAKAGE LINE: A line used in the injection-leakage model representing the relation between non-consumption uses of income (that is, leakages) and national income. The three leakages are saving, taxes, and imports. The foundation of the leakages line is the saving line, which is then enhanced by adding taxes and imports. The other part of the injection-leakage model is a line representing injections. The intersection of the injection and leakage lines identifies equilibrium aggregate output, or Keynesian equilibrium.

- Elastic:
- A good is said to be elastic if quantity is very responsive to the price. To be more specific:
- Elastic means the percentage change in quantity is greater than the percentage change in price.
- Inelastic:
- A good is said to be inelastic if quantity is NOT very responsive to the price. To be more specific:
- Inelastic means the percentage change in quantity is less than the percentage change in price.
