Answer» Answer: Just DIVIDE the percentage change in the DEPENDENT variable and the percentage change in the independent one. If the latter increases by 3% and the FORMER by 1.5%, this means that elasticity is 0.5. ... Elasticity of -1 means that the TWO variables goes in opposite directions but in the same proportion. |
