Elasticities can be calculated for more than just price elasticity of supply or price elasticity of demand. For example, income elasticity of demand as a measure of how quantity demanded changes in response to income.
When there are increasing opportunity costs, the shape of the production possibilities curve (PPC) is bowed out. Learn more about how the shape of the PPC, which is sometimes also called the production possibilities frontier curve (PPF), depends on opportunity cost in this video. Created by Sal Khan.
