Article Review: Elasticity

Elasticity refers to the degree in which supply or demand curves reacts to fluctuations in prices. Elasticity displays differences in commodities as some are more essential to consumers than others. Necessities are more unresponsive to alterations in prices owing to the fact that people will continue to purchase them no matter the changes in prices.
