	Elasticity (economics)
		In economics, elasticity is a measure 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 also crucially important in any discussion of welfare distribution: in particular consumer surplus, producer surplus, or government surplus.

	Supply and demand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One way of defining elasticity is the percentage change in one variable divided by the percentage change in another variable (known as arch elasticity because it calculates the elasticity over a range of values, in contrast with point elasticity that uses differential calculus to determine the elasticity at a specific point).
		Another elasticity that is sometimes considered is the cross elasticity of demand, which measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good to a change in the price of another good.
		Cross elasticity of demand is measured as the percentage change in demand for the first good that occurs in response to a percentage change in price of the second good.

	Elasticity (economics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elasticity is usually expressed as a positive number (i.e., an absolute value) when the sign is already clear from context.
		In particular, an understanding of elasticity is useful to understand the dynamic response of supply and demand in a market, in order to achieve an intended result or avoid unintended results.
		Elasticity is an important concept in understanding the incidence of indirect taxation, marginal concepts as they relate to the theory of the firm, distribution of wealth and different types of goods as they relate to the theory of consumer choice and the Lagrange multiplier.

	Supply and Demand: The Market Mechanism
		The market mechanism’s efficiency outcome is always located on the production possibility curves frontier, where all resources are fully utilized (points within the production possibility curves are inefficient by definition, since resources are not being utilized).
		Market quantities may be in thousands or millions of units depending on the size of a market.
		Unfortunately, in most markets in the real world it is difficult to determine, if there has been a shift in the curve, or a movement on the curve.

		The elasticity measure in this case is infinite (notice that the denominator of the elasticity measure equals zero).
		Cross-price elasticity of demand is a measure of the responsiveness of a change in the price of a good to a change in the price of some other good.
		The supply curve facing a single buyer in a market in which there are a very large number of buyers and sellers is likely to appear to be perfectly elastic (or close to this, anyway).

		As the elasticity of demand increases, i.e., as the demand curve becomes flatter, the inverse of the elasticity approaches zero and the monopoly power of the firm decreases.
		Three factors determine the firm’s elasticity of demand: (1) the elasticity of market demand, (2) the number of firms in the market, and (3) interaction among the firms in the market.
		In its defense, Alcoa argued that although it indeed controlled a large fraction of the primary market, secondary aluminum (i.e., aluminum produced from the recycling of scrap) accounted for roughly 30 percent of the total supply of aluminum, and many competitive firms were engaged in recycling.

		Low elasticity of demand and supply are now recognized as the most critical factor in rendering the market volatile and vulnerable to abuse.
		Weak market structure and a market design that has repeated interactions of a small number of players leads to the analytic conclusion that regulators must be keenly aware of collusive and noncollusive conduct among market players.
		Market power to a seller is the ability profitably to maintain prices above competitive levels for a significant period of time./ In some circumstances, a sole seller (a "monopolist") of a product with no good substitutes can maintain a selling price that is above the level that would prevail if the market* were competitive.

	III. How Do Courts and Agencies Evaluate Market Power?
		When own-demand elasticities cannot be measured directly, economists may attempt to derive them by using a firm's market share and the elasticity of demand in the market.
		Because market shares are based upon historical data, some argue that they may be less useful in analyzing potential competitive effects in volatile or dynamic markets.
		The HHI squares the market shares of all firms in the relevant market to arrive at a statistical measure of concentration.

	Market Structure
		Market structure is important in that it affects market outcomes through its impact on the motivations, opportunities and decisions of economic actors participating in the market.
		This is illustrated by the different avenues of marketing MSA depicted in Figure 2, with the objective (cross elasticity) approach on the left side, the subjective on the right, and hybrids of the two in the middle.
		Marketers thus face a dilemma in their MSA: it is useful to derive market definition from either substitutability or market impact criteria, but there exits areas of competitive behavior which neither approach alone is well suited to analyze.

		Identifying individual demand elasticities can be a very useful way to develop the marketing mix, pricing strategy and identify key market segments such as innovators and early adopters that tolerate price skimming.
		Demand elasticity is a measure of a market’s change in demand for an item relative to a change in price for that item.

		We can show that this measure of market power is equal to the negative inverse of the price elasticity of demand.
		The equation implies that, as the elasticity increases (demand becomes more elastic), the inverse of elasticity decreases and the measure of market power decreases.
		The quantity demanded in the market is the sum of the quantity demanded by each individual at any given price.
