On this page you can get a detailed analysis of a word or phrase, produced by the best artificial intelligence technology to date:
The price elasticity of supply (PES or Es) is a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity supplied of a good or service to a change in its price.
The elasticity is represented in numerical form, and is defined as the percentage change in the quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price.
When the elasticity is less than one, the supply of the good can be described as inelastic; when it is greater than one, the supply can be described as elastic. An elasticity of zero indicates that quantity supplied does not respond to a price change: the good is "fixed" in supply. Such goods often have no labor component or are not produced, limiting the short run prospects of expansion. If the elasticity is exactly one, the good is said to be unit-elastic.
The quantity of goods supplied can, in the short term, be different from the amount produced by GameStop, as Market Makers such as Citadel Securities, will have stocks which they can manipulate up or run down, and Citadel's Statement of Financial Conditions ends up with a $65B liability of "Securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value" like in 2021.
