摘要
许多经济学家认为,需求价格弹性与曲线的斜率有关,斜率越大,弹性越小;斜率越小,弹性越大。本文则用数学证明,需求弹性与曲线的斜率无关,而与截距有关。
Some economists hold that the price-elasticity of demand bears a relationto the slope of demand curve: the greaterthe slope,the less the elasticity. This paperhas proved with mathmatics that the elasticity of demand has proved with to theslope, but does have relation to the intercept.
