18. WHAT IS ELASTICITY SUPPLY? Economics: concepts and choices, 2011. Holt McDougal

19. WHAT AFFECTS ELASTICITY SUPPLY? There are far fewer factors that affect elasticity of supply than elasticity of demand. Changing production to respond to a change in price. Given enough time, the elasticity of supply increases for most goods and services. Supply will be more elastic over a year or several years than it will be if the time to respond is a day, week, or a month. Some industries, take a great deal of time to shift the resources of production to respond to the price changes. Economics: concepts and choices, 2011. Holt McDougal
