Elasticity of Demand

Elasticity of demand measures how responsive quantity demanded is to changes in factors like price, income, or other determinants of demand. There are different types of elasticity, including price elasticity of demand, which measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. Price elasticity is calculated as the percentage change in quantity divided by the percentage change in price. Elasticity can vary from perfectly elastic, where a small change in price leads to a large change in quantity, to perfectly inelastic, where changes in price do not affect quantity demanded.
