    What makes this video superior to all the other economics videos on RUclips, is that they say the same thing the book says, by using Economic terminology to explain something confusing. you explain thing as if you understand the troubles of comprehending this material thank you.

    Thank you! This was extremely helpful! I took micro and macro econ in college, did really well in both, but 6 years later I'm taking a graduate level econ class. I have to say you explained it better in 10 minutes than the professor did in an entire lecture! Thank you :)

  • @mjmfoodie
    @mjmfoodie  14 лет назад +1

    @Mrbalaatyt That would be the midpoint formula of elasticity -- the issue is that if you calculate the elasticity from point A on a demand curve to point B on a demand curve you will get one value; if you calculate from point B to point A, you will get a different value (because you've changed the denominator). The midpoint formula resolves this (OK, it kind of fudges it) by calculating the AVERAGE of the new & old: (old + new/2).

    The formula where averages of quantity and price formula was used is the formula for arc elasticity of demand. As you know there are many methods of measuring elasticity of demand like point elasticity, cross elasticity, income elasticity, arc elasticity. Point elasticity is used in case when the change in demand due to change in price is small, but when the change in demand due to change in price is a little higher, arc elasticity formula gives more accurate result. Hope you understood my point

    The elasticity formula is not wrong. The issue is that, if you want the elasticity between two points, the value will differ depending on which endpoint you start with. For this reason, economists use this "Midpoint Formula" for elasticity.
