Elasticity - Characteristics that determine elasticity

  • In this video, I take a trip to the neighborhood gas station to talk about the four main characteristics that determine whether demand is elastic or inelastic: (1) luxury/necessity, (2) number of substitutes, (3) share in the budget, and (4) time available to make the purchase.

    this lady is awesome. these videos are the future of education. i can stop and look back and learn at my own pace. no better alternative other than finding a way to literally inject the knowledge directly into my brain.

    Inelastic. Thanks I was only aware of the first two characteristics- Demand for the product and substitue available. Thanks for the other two.

    So inelastic as an iron bar!
    I had a door salesman yesterday, trying to sell electricity/gas. He couldn't tell me why the taxes on gas->heating were %wise higher then the electricity taxes.
    It's simply the Elasticity of the good that determines how high the taxes can go, and thus the inelastic good 'Gas for heating' is most % taxed, where's electricity you can try and safe some here and there.. it is not possible with gas (unless investing in it).

  • @mjmfoodie
    @mjmfoodie  13 лет назад

    @seadragon36 Yes; that would be narrowing the definition of the demand you are looking at to the demand for gas at one station (which is much more elastic than overall demand for all gas in the market).

    It was great to see a face to go with the voice I've been listening to in all your videos. ;-) Would being able to choose among several different neighborhood gas stations count as having substitutes? In Hawaii, a lack of competition creates prices that go up with supply costs but never go down with supply savings (eg, crude oil prices decrease). Honolulu Star-Bulletin, "Gas goes up, stays up"

    Your demand would be inelastic

  • @Infinitesap
    @Infinitesap 5 лет назад

    I think that you will accept a rather high change in price compared to the chance in quantity.
    Then I will bet on that you price elasticity is inelastic due to the fact that the large change in price wouldn't occur in full competition.
