orphan date August 2010 cleanup date July 2010 In economics , elasticityeconomicselasticity is the ratio of the percent change in one variable to the percent change in another variable. Computational elasticity is the application of this concept to how computer systems scale with relation to temporal & monetary costs. The concept of computational elasticity is a particularly useful concept for comparing cloud computing platforms with relation to costs. An example question where the concept of computational elasticity is useful might include If the number of users on my website expands from 100 day to 1000000 day over the course of the next week, what will the cost be to ensure a fast page load? Cost is a function of the infrastructure the site runs on, which in turn is heavily influenced by the computational elasticity of the infrastructure. Infrastructure capable of rapidly accommodating this rapid increase in required computing power at low monetary & temporal cost has a high computational elasticity. Infrastructure that will require significant costs to handle this increase in required computing power has a low computational elasticity. Category Elasticityeconomics ... more details

In economics , output elasticity is the percentage change of output Gross domestic product GDP or production of a single firm divided by the percentage change of an input. It is sometimes called partial output elasticity to clarify that it refers to the change of only one input. ref A. Charnes, W. W. Cooper, and A. P.

Vol. 73, No. 10, pp. 3747 3748. ref As with every Elasticityeconomicselasticity , this measure is defined locally, i.e. defined at a point. If the production function contains only one input, then the output elasticity is also an indicator of the degree of returns to scale . If the coefficient of output elasticity is greater than 1, then production is experiencing increasing returns to scale. If the coefficient is less than 1, then production is experiencing decreasing returns to scale. If the coefficient is 1, then production is experiencing constant returns to scale. Note that returns to scale may change as the level of production changes. ref name Perloff, Microeconomics Theory 2008 Perloff, Microeconomics Theory & Applications with Calculus Pearson 2008 at 193. ref Output elasticity is defined as the percentage change in output per one percent change in all the inputs. ref Hirschey 2003 p. 238. ref The coefficient of output elasticity can be used to estimate returns to scale. ref Hirschey 2003 p. 238. ref E sub Q sub Q X x X Q where X represents the inputs and Q, the output. ref Hirschey 2003 p. 238. ref See also elasticityeconomics References Reflist DEFAULTSORT Output Elasticity Category Elasticityeconomics Econ stub de Produktionselastizit t ... more details

Continuum mechanics cTopic Solid mechanics In physics , elasticity or stretchiness is the physical property of a material that returns to its original shape after the stress mechanics stress e.g. external force s that made it deform or distort is removed. The relative amount of deformation engineering deformation is called the Deformation mechanics strain . The elastic regime is characterized by a linear relationship between stress and strain, denoted linear elasticity . The classic example is a metal Spring device spring . This idea was first stated ref http www.lindahall.org events exhib exhibit exhibits civil design.shtml Arch Design Bot generated title ref by Robert Hooke in 1675 as a Latin anagram ceiiinossssttuu ref cf. his Catenary History description of the catenary , which appeared in the preceding paragraph. ref whose solution he published in 1678 as Ut tensio, sic vis which means As the extension, so the force . This linear relationship is called Hooke s law . The classic model of linear elasticity is the perfect spring device spring . Although the general proportionality constant between stress and strain in three dimensions is a 4th order tensor , when considering simple situations of higher symmetry such as a rod in one dimensional loading, the relationship may often be reduced to applications of Hooke s law.

Unreferenced date October 2006 Rubber elasticity , a well known example of Hyperelastic material hyperelasticity , describes the mechanical behavior of many polymers, especially those with crosslinking. Invoking the theory of rubber elasticity, one considers a polymer chain in a crosslinked network as an entropic spring. When the chain is stretched, the entropy is reduced by a large margin because there are fewer conformations available. Therefore, there is a restoring force, which causes the polymer chain to return to its equilibrium or unstretched state, such as a high entropy random coil configuration, once the external force is removed. This is the reason why rubber bands return to their original state. Two common models for rubber elasticity are the freely jointed chain model and the worm like chain model. Freely Jointed Chain Model Polymers can be modeled as freely jointed chains with one fixed end and one free end FJC model Image FJCpolymersmall.JPG frame right Model of the freely jointed chain where math b , math is the length of a rigid segment, math n , math is the number of segments of length math b , math , math r , math is the distance between the fixed and free ends, and math L c , math is the contour length or math nb , math .

In economics, income Elasticityeconomicselasticity of Supply and demand demand measures the responsiveness of the demand for a good to a change in the income of the people demanding the good, ceteris paribus . It is calculated as the ratio of the percentage change in demand to the percentage change in income. For example, if, in response to a 10 increase in income, the demand for a good increased by 20 , the income elasticity of demand would be 20 10 2. Interpretation Image Income elasticity of demand inferior goods.svg thumb right Inferior good s demand falls as consumer income increases. A negative income elasticity of demand is associated with inferior good s an increase in income will lead to a fall in the demand and may lead to changes to more luxurious substitutes. A positive income elasticity of demand is associated with normal good s an increase in income will lead to a rise in demand. If income elasticity of demand of a commodity is less than 1, it is a necessity good . If the elasticity of demand is greater than 1, it is a luxury good or a superior good .

Refend Category Elasticityeconomics Category Consumer theory Category Advertising Category Demand ...Advertising elasticity of demand or simply advertising elasticity , often shortened to AED is an elasticityeconomicselasticity measuring the effect of an increase or decrease in advertising on a market. ref name PindyckRubinfeldPage405to407 Pindyck Rubinfeld 2001 . pp.405 407. ref ref name Png66 Although traditionally considered as being positively related, demand for the good that is subject of the advertising campaign can be inversely related to the amount spent if the advertising is negative. Definition Good advertising will result in a positive shift in demand for a good. AED is used to measure the effectiveness of this strategy in increasing demand versus its cost. ref name Curran Mathematically, then, AED measures the percentage change in the quantity of a good demanded induced by a given percentage change in spending on advertising in that sector ref name Curran Curran 1999 . pp.182 183. ref math AED frac mbox change in quantity demanded mbox change in spending on advertising frac Delta Q d Q d Delta A A math In other words, the percentage by which sales will increase after a 1 increase in advertising expenditure assuming all other factors remain equal ceteris paribus . ref name Png66 AED is usually positive. ref name Curran Negative advertising may, however, result in a negative AED. Applications AED can be used to make sure advertising expenses are in line, though an increase in demand may not be the only desired outcome of advertising. ref name Curran The rule of thumb combines the AED with a known price elasticity of demand PED for the same good.

Elasticity of intertemporal substitution or intertemporal elasticity of substitution is a measure of responsiveness of the Economic growth growth rate of consumption economics consumption to the real interest rate . ref http www.jstor.org pss 1833112 Robert Hall, JPE ref If the real rate rises, future consumption may increase due to increased return on savings but future consumption may also decline as the saver decides to save less given that he can get a higher return on what he does save. The net effect on future consumption is the elasticity of intertemporal substitution. Mathematical definition The definition depends on whether one is working in discrete or continuous time. We will see that for Risk aversion CRRA utility, the two approaches yield the same answer. The below functional forms assume that utility from consumption is time additively separable. Discrete time Total lifetime utility is given by math U sum t 0 T beta t u c t math In this setting, the real interest rate will be given by the following condition math Qu c t QRu c t 1 math A quantity of money math Q math invested .... The elasticity of intertemporal substitution is defined as the percent change in consumption growth ... in our log equation above, we can see that this definition is equivalent to the elasticity ... c t u c t frac c t u c t math then the elasticity of intertemporal substitution is defined as math EIS ... elasticity of substitution is given by math frac 1 theta math .
