Document Summary

You know that when supply decreases, the equilibrium price rises and the equilibrium quantity decreases. The answer depends on the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good to a change in its price. You might think about the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good to a change in its price in terms of the slope of the demand curve. If the demand curve is steep, the price rises by a lot; if the demand curve is almost flat, the price barely rises. But the slope of a demand curve depends on the units in which we measure the price and the quantity. We can choose these units to make the demand curve steep or flat. To measure responsiveness we need a measure that is independent of units of measurement.
