Topic: Relatively Inelastic <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

  • Another large section of the elasticity continuum is comprise of relatively inelastic:

  • Relatively inelastic is an elasticity alternative in which relatively large changes in one variable (price) cause relatively small changes in another variable (quantity).
  • Once again, this works for both the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply, because the negative value of the price elasticity of demand is ignored.

  • Relatively inelastic demand and supply are represented by relatively steep, but not perfectly vertical, demand and supply curves.

TAX MULTIPLIER

A measure of the change in aggregate production caused by changes in government taxes. The tax multiplier is the negative marginal propensity to consume times one minus the slope of the aggregate expenditures line. The simple tax multiplier includes ONLY induced consumption. More complex tax multipliers include other induced components. Two related multipliers are the expenditures multiplier, which measures the change in aggregate production caused by changes in an autonomous aggregate expenditure, and the balanced-budget multiplier which measures the change in aggregate production from equal changes in both taxes and government purchases.
