Elasticity is the ratio of the % change in quantity to the % change in price. So if the two are identical, than it is said to be unitary elastic. If quantity changes more than price, then it is said to be elastic. If the quantity changes less than price, then it is said to be inelastic.
Inelastic market conditions occur when the supply or demand of a good is relatively resistant to changes in price. Economists sometimes use the term qualitatively to describe goods in the marketplace, but may also apply mathematical formulas to quantify the degree to which market conditions are elastic or inelastic.
