  2. Elasticity of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_of_a_function

    In economics, the price elasticity of demand refers to the elasticity of a demand function Q(P), and can be expressed as (dQ/dP)/(Q(P)/P) or the ratio of the value of the marginal function (dQ/dP) to the value of the average function (Q(P)/P). This relationship provides an easy way of determining whether a demand curve is elastic or inelastic ...

  3. Elasticity (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_(economics)

    Elasticity of scale or output elasticity measures the percentage change in output induced by a collective percent change in the usages of all inputs. [20] A production function or process is said to exhibit constant returns to scale if a percentage change in inputs results in an equal percentage in outputs (an elasticity equal to 1).

  4. Slutsky equation - Wikipedia

    where ε p is the (uncompensated) price elasticity, ε p h is the compensated price elasticity, ε w,i the income elasticity of good i, and b j the budget share of good j. Overall, in simple words, the Slutsky equation states the total change in demand consists of an income effect and a substitution effect and both effects collectively must ...

  5. Price elasticity of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand

    A good with an elasticity of −2 has elastic demand because quantity demanded falls twice as much as the price increase; an elasticity of −0.5 has inelastic demand because the change in quantity demanded change is half of the price increase. [2] At an elasticity of 0 consumption would not change at all, in spite of any price increases.

    For example, the "elasticity of demand with respect to income" or the "income elasticity of demand" for a product refers to the percentage change in the quantity of the product demanded in response to a 1% change in consumers' income, or more generally to the ratio of the percentage change in quantity demanded to the percentage change in income.

  9. Output elasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_elasticity

    As with every elasticity, this measure is defined locally, i.e. defined at a point. If the production function contains only one input, then the output elasticity is also an indicator of the degree of returns to scale. If the coefficient of output elasticity is greater than 1, then production is experiencing increasing returns to scale.
