Elastic

A

an economic concept used to measure the change in the aggregate quantity demanded of a good or service in relation to price movements of that good or service. When the quantity demanded is very responsive to a change in price (absolute value of elasticity > 1), we say demand is elastic; we say demand is elastic; when the quantity demanded is not very responsive to a change in price (absolute value of elasticity < 1), we say that demand is inelastic.
