ELASTICITY: The relative response of one variable to changes in another variable. The phrase "relative response" is best interpreted as the percentage change. For example, the price elasticity of demand, one of the more important applications of this concept in economics, is the percentage change in quantity demanded measured against the percentage change in price. Other notable economic elasticities are the price elasticity of supply, income elasticity of demand, and cross elasticity of demand. See also | elastic | inelastic | relatively inelastic | perfectly inelastic | relatively elastic | unit elastic | perfectly elastic | price elasticity of demand | price elasticity of supply | income elasticity of demand | cross elasticity of demand | elastic demand | inelastic demand | inelastic supply | elastic supply | elasticity determinants | elasticity and demand slope | elasticity alternatives | coefficient of elasticity | midpoint formula | arc elasticity | point elasticity |
