Measures the percentage change in quantity demanded of a good when ist price changes. / Theprice elasticity of demand (sometimes simply calledprice elasticity) measures how much the quantity demanded of a good changes when its price changes. The precise def nition of price elasticity is the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. The price elasticities of demand for individual goods are determined by the economic characteristics of demand.
