4.1. Own-Price Elasticity of Demand than one, demand is defined to be inelastic. When that magnitude is greater than one, demand is defined to be elastic . And when the elasticity coefficient is equal to negative one, demand is said to be unit elastic , or unitary elastic . <span>Note that if the law of demand holds, own-price elasticity of demand will always be negative, because a rise in price will be associated with a fall in quantity demanded, but it can be either elastic or inelastic. In our hypothetical example, suppose the price of gasoline was very high, say $15 per gallon. In this case, the elasticity coefficient would be −1.154. Therefore, because the magnitude
