Elasticity is the concept where economics meet with business strategy in terms of pricing. How do companies decide about which price point to implement? How do policy makers decide how much tax they should put on a product or service? or even whether to implement any interdiction or not? Elasticity is the key concept of economics whether it is for a micro setting or a macro setting as well as the pricing, one of the most important business decisions.

I used to have difficulty in understanding the elasticity on its own but this course is a great source for not only having a deeper understanding about the concept but also showing you the practical part about it in the business world too. Clear explanations and engaging delivery definitely kept my attention! Thank you.
Arthur Lai Wong –
This course has made me realize what I was missing in the equation based on elasticity and raised my awareness. This course is practical and I highly recommend to any one who wants to analyze their pricing strategy from the point of elasticity.
Justing Berg –
I finally understood the concepts thanks to the clear and simple explanations. It makes it very easy to understand. I passed my Econ exam with an A+ so thank you to the instructor. I recommend this course to anyone who are studying Economics.

The case studies are amazing, especially the ones about Asia! Thanks for the new perspective. This course exceeded my expectations. Very well done.
Anonymized User –
I really enjoyed this course. The practice tests were well written to test the learning of the content of the course. So many times with online courses, the tests are too easy or too targeted on the knowledge instead of the learning.
Noko Dina Ramphela –
I love how you made Elasticity easy to understand. Just enough examples to put what you said in practice. I enjoyed this course
Andy Ting Pang Chong –
Its basically a textbook refresher course which helps to understand the concepts of Price Elasticity which you basically can google it yourself. But I thought that the course was straight to the point, easy to follow and well structured. If only there were more insights on how companies go about setting their price and how do they measure time-to-time with real life examples, it would be perfect.
Des Cupido –

Versellia Biggers –

Ajay Aadhithya Chandrasekaran –
Much gratitude to the teacher for preparing this course, and helping me learn about these concepts.
Here are my honest thoughts about this course:
– Concepts were clear and delivered in easy to digest byte sized nuggets.
– The structure was good and the teacher’s pace is suitable even for non-native English speakers like myself.
– I am an engineer, and not an economist or a finance major, and so, this course has helped me in understanding the basic forces/factors that influence the price of goods in the market.
– The lifetime access from Udemy helps in case I need a quick recap of anything.
Cons:
There are no major cons, except for one small gripe. I had some difficulty in grasping certain words initially owing to how they were pronounced by the teacher. It took me a couple of videos to get used to them, and I think they will no longer be an issue if I learn more from this teacher as I am now used to them.
Important note to future learners/students: Please learn about the concepts surrounding Demand before you do this course. That will help you a lot in understanding and appreciating what you learn from this one.
