- 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.

SIMPLE EXPENDITURES MULTIPLIER A measure of the change in aggregate production caused by changes in an autonomous expenditure that shocks the macroeconomy, when consumption is the ONLY induced expenditure.

A related multiplier is the simple tax multiplier, which measures the change in aggregate production caused by changes in taxes.
