    Elasticity is a super important topic in economics, but it can be hard to grasp. In this video, I show you the intuition behind elasticity and why it's something economists care so much about. The demonstration will help you understand the price elasticity of demand, cross-price elasticity of demand, elasticity of supply, income elasticity, and all others!
    Good companion video with Mankiw, Cowen and Tabarrok, or any other introductory economics or microeconomics course.

    I just found your videos because I'm going to be an economics major for undergrad starting this summer and wanted to have a small head start. Your videos are so interesting and I feel like they're going to help me so much! Thank you for making this type of content

    Dude, thank you for making this video. I just started a macroeconomics class with online schooling. Your video helped me understand elasticity so much better than reading the material. I greatly appreciate videos like this and those that post them. without them I would be more confused with no way to better understand. Thank you again.

    learned it for a semester at university and never understood it. And wow, I didn't know that I could understood it in just 6-5min.
    Thank you. I loved the comparaison. That way of learning is so much fun.

    Thank you! I'm getting into reading about climate change finance and I kept seeing the phrases like 'elasticity'. I thought I understood it but I thought i'd find a youtube video anyway and now actually understand what I'm reading. Thanks so much for your clear and concise video my friend! hope all is well

      Hi, I'm thinking about studying economics and would love for you to make a playlist/ videos about things that are crucial to understanding economics. Just like this one, simple to understand and perfectly explained. Explaining neo-classical economics, different theories of economics, externality etc. Like important things to know. Keep up the great work! I subscribed and can't wait for more educational videos :)

    Would employees be considered elastic? Since a change in minimum wages (price) would alter the demand for employees?

    I'm almost done with my MBA. It would be reassuring if it's not just me where this chapter gets lots of frustrated students who think they get it then just seem to epically fail the quizzes? I don't think the self quizzes I've been able to get a single question right but i've read the chapter and didn't seem to not be lost completely at least navigating the lesson. anyone feel the same?

    @shaikhammar441 2 года назад

    2:58 This is only true if the initial quantity was same to begin with. If the change in qty demanded is greater, it doesn't necessarily mean it is more elastic. You pretty much completely went over the idea of percentage change. What you explained is marginal demand or slope, which is dX/dp. Elasticity is defined as (dX/dp) / (X/P). If a line is steeper or flatter, it is not more elastic or less elastic; elasticity of points in a straight line that is not completely horizontal or vertical, varies from 0 to infinity; it is only when elasticity is measured at the same point, can we say the steeper line is less elastic. This pretty much says nothing about why one would prefer elasticity to slope.

    So, bananas were more elastic because people wanted them over a longer curve. Another example said teenagers were the most sensitive to price changes and, therefore, are more elastic...and this is where I get confused. Teenage demand for vapes would drop off much more rapidly than that of adults with stable careers. An adult's demand curve for vapes would be longer, like the longer demand curve for bananas. So why aren't adults the more elastics group?

    uhhhh, elasticity in physics means resistance to deformation force. so the blue band is more elastic. many people confuse this.

    • @QQ-sz7it
      @QQ-sz7it 2 года назад

      Resistance to PERMANENT deformation force. If you stretch two objects continuously, the one that is less elastic will reach permanent deformation first.
