| elastic |
Having an elasticity greater than one. For a price elasticity of demand, this means that expenditure rises as price falls. For an income elasticity it means that expenditure share rises with income, a superior good. Contrasts with inelastic and unit elastic. Elastic demand for either exports or imports is sufficient to satisfy the Marshall-Lerner condition.

| elasticity |
A measure of responsiveness of one economic variable to another -- usually the responsiveness of quantity to price along a supply or demand curve -- comparing percentage changes (%D) or changes in logarithms (d ln). The arc elasticity of x with respect to y is e = %Dx/%Dy. The point elasticity is e = d lnx/d lny = (y/x)(dx/dy).
