	Elasticity (economics) - guideofcasinos.com
		In economics, elasticity is the ratio of the incremental percentage change in one variable with respect to an incremental percentage change in another variable.
		Elasticity is the slope of a curve on a loglog graph only, not on a regular graph (taking into account whether the independent variable is on the horizontal or the vertical axis).
		Elasticity is an important concept in understanding the incidence of indirect taxation, marginal concepts as they relate to the theory of the firm, wealth inequality and different types of goods as they relate to the theory of consumer choice and the Lagrange Multiplier.

		The elasticity of Q with respect to P is the responsiveness of Q to changes in P. Q is the quantity demanded.
		The elasticity of Q with respect to P is the percentage change in Q divided by the corresponding percentage change in P. For example, if the price of something goes up by 1% and sales fall by 2%, the elasticity of quantity demanded with respect to price is -2%/1% = -2.

	Elasticity - a key concept in Economics and Management
		Elasticity is easy to compute both in models and in reality, but in the real world it may be difficult to single out the effect of the independent variable on the dependent one, since many variables change at the same time and - furthermore - there often exists a self-propelling dynamics in the independent one.
		Elasticity of 1 means that the two variables change always by the same proportion (a 5% increase determines a 5% increase).
		Elasticity of -1 means that the two variables goes in opposite directions but in the same proportion.

	Elasticity Summary
		Elasticity is the ability of a material to return to its original shape and size after being stretched, compressed, twisted or bent.
		Elastic deformation (change of shape or size) lasts only as long as a deforming force is applied to the object, and disappears once the force is removed.
		The elastic modulus and elastic limit reveal much about the strength of the bonds between the smallest particles of a substance, the atoms or molecules it is composed of.

		The calculation of arc elasticity avoids the problem of ambiguity about bases inherent in measures of point elasticity by taking the means of the variables being assessed for their relative responsiveness.
		The price elasticity of demand, for example, is dimensionless because whether the quantity demanded is measured in pounds, grams, or tons has no effect on the calculation, nor does whether the price is measured in US cents, US dollars, or euros.

		Elasticity is a way to measure the strength of a causal relationship.
		There are three more elasticities you'll probably have to deal with in principles of microeconomics: income elasticity of demand, cross-price elasticity of demand, and price elasticity of supply.
		Cross-price elasticity of demand tells us which goods are substitutes for each other (no, it's not always obvious), which are complements, and how strong those substitutabilities and complementarities are.

	PThy_Chapter_10.rtf
		The elasticity of a demand (or supply) curve at some quantity Q (remember that how flat a curve is may depend where on it you are) is defined as the percentage change of quantity divided by the percentage change of price, calculated for a very small change in price.
		The elasticity of a curve typically varies along its length, so a supply curve may be elastic for one range of quantities, inelastic for another, and unit elastic at the point between the two ranges.
		This is not true of elasticity; if you change the units used to measure quantity by a factor of seven--as you do in going from gallons per day to gallons per week--both the quantity and the change in quantity are affected, but their ratio--the percentage change in quantity--remains the same.
