This document introduces the concept of elasticity in economics. It will define various types of elasticities including price elasticity, income elasticity, and cross-price elasticity. It will explain how to calculate and apply different measures of elasticity, such as arc elasticity and point elasticity, to real-world situations to understand how sensitive demand is to changes in factors like price, income, and other prices. The document is structured into sections that will provide examples and explanations of key elasticity concepts and their determinants.
