Elasticity Elasticity Arc Elasticity is the elasticity of one variable with respect to another between two given points. It is used when there is not a general function for the relationship of two variables. Therefore, point elasticity may be seen as an estimator of elasticty This is because point elasticity may be ascertained whenever a function is defined. ...more on Wikipedia about "Arc elasticity"

In economics, elasticity is the ratio of the incremental percentage change in one variable with respect to an incremental percentage change in another variable. Elasticity is usually expressed as a positive number (i.e., an absolute value) when the sign is already clear from context. ...more on Wikipedia about "Elasticity (economics)"

Yield elasticity of bond value is the percentage change in bond value divided by a one per percentage change in the yield to maturity of the bond. This is equivalent to saying the derivative of value with respect to yield times the (interest rate/value). This is equal to the MacAulay Bond Duration times the discount rate, or the modified bond duration times the interest rate. ...more on Wikipedia about "Yield elasticity of bond value"
