a change in prices of a good due to economic changes. The outcome of any situation determines the price of a good. There are three types of elasticity of demand that each good has‚ which are elastic‚ a situation in which the supply and demand for a good or service can vary significantly due to the price (Elastic Definition‚ 2012); unitary elastic‚ a situation where a change in one factor causes an equal or proportional change in another factor (Unitary Elasticity‚ 2012); and inelastic‚ situation in

Elastic is the result of the price changing and the consumer still demanding the produce. As for inelastic‚ this is the result of the price changing although the demand decreases. The difference between elastic and inelastic are determined by the demand of the product; as for elastic the consumer will always have a demand for the product such as water‚ food‚ and gas‚ and for inelastic the consumer will change the demand based on price of the product. Producers are interested in elasticity‚ because

This is the long term trends employment‚ output‚ and income. The second phase is the so called “overheating”‚ when we suffer from rising prices and interest rates‚ until it reaches a turning point a “peak” and turn downward into a recession.
