Elasticity Basics
In this lesson, we will examine the basics of elasticity, including what it is, how it is measured, and how it is used in market analysis. - The first unit of this lesson, The Concept, introduces the elasticity concept and previews its role in market analysis.
- In the second unit, A Little More, examines the importance of elasticity for such topics as market shocks, taxes, and price controls.
- The third unit, Measurement, takes a close look at how elasticity is measured, focusing on the coefficient of elasticity.
- The fourth unit, A Continuum, examines the five categories of elasticity, ranging from elastic to inelastic, that form a continuum.
- The fifth unit and final unit, Market Elasticity, closes this lesson by introducing four key elasticity concepts for the market demand and supply.

IN-KIND PAYMENTS A payment, usually in exchange for the productive efforts of resources, that takes the form of goods and services produced by the resource buyer rather than the economy's standard monetary unit (that is, dollars). In other words, resource owners are compensated with a portion of the output that they help to produce. The standard method of compensation, which is illustrated by the circular flow model, is for a firm to pay resource owners using money revenue received from selling its production. Hence most factor payments are monetary payments. However, in some circumstances firms and resource owners find it more convenient to use actual production for compensation, eliminating the sell-production-for-money step.
