Answer:

Elastic demand

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is a concept that seeks to measure the sensitivity of demand to the price of a good or service. Thus, if demand is elastic, it means that even small variations in price have a strong impact on demand. Conversely, if demand is inelastic, variations in the price of the good will not greatly affect demand, meaning consumers will continue to demand that particular good or service.  

The calculation of the price elasticity of demand consists in the division between the variation of the quantity demanded by the variation in the price practiced. If the result is greater than 1, demand is considered elastic (price sensitive). Conversely, if elasticity is less than 1, demand is considered inelastic (little price sensitive). If elasticity equals one, then the change in demand is exactly the same as the price change.

Compare and contrast market economies, command economies, and mixed economies.
Leona [35]

Answer:

In mixed economies, the government has some control, while the rest is up to supply and demand. Command economies are characterized by large surpluses and shortages, monopolies, and prices set by the government. While a mixed economy combines free market with central government planning and intervention, a market economy relies purely on the free market (and the rules of supply and demand) to regulate the economy.
