   Elasticity
   A measure of responsiveness of one economic variable to another -- usually the responsiveness of quantity to price along a supply or demand curve -- comparing percentage changes (%D) or changes in logarithms (d ln). The arc elasticity of x with respect to y is e = %Dx/%Dy. The point elasticity is e = d lnx/d lny = (y/x)(dx/dy).

   Elasticity
   Elasticity indicates how one variable responds to a change in another variable. The main types of elasticity are elasticity of demand (price, cross price, income, advertising), and the elasticity of supply (price). The value can be either elastic or inelastic. An elastic value implies that the there will be a significant change in the quantity due to a change in the other variable, hence, it is very sensitive. While an inelastic value implies that the variable is not very sensitive to the change in the other variable.

   Elasticity
   A material is elastic if it returns to its original shape after being deformed. The maximum load that a body can experience and still return to its original shape is known as the Elastic Limit.MetalsThe elastic limit is defined as the 0.2% offset yield strength. This represents the stress at which the stress-strain curve for uniaxial tensile loadin...

    elasticity
    A measure of responsiveness. The responsiveness of behavior measured by variable Z to a change in environment variable Y is the change in Z observed in response to a change in Y. Specifically, this approximation is common: elasticity = (percentage change in Z) / (percentage change in Y) The smaller the percentage change in Y is practical, the bette...
