A coefficient is the number in front of a variable. For example, consider the expression '2y'

y is the variable

2 is the coefficient

What does it mean if the price elasticity of demand is 2?

It's an elasticity coefficient of demand: deltaD/deltaP When the coefficient is >1 it is an elastic demand When the coefficient is <1 it is a nonelastic demand


Rise in gini coefficient leads to?

The Gini coefficient is a measure of equality expressed as a value between 1 and 0. 0 represents perfect equality and 1 represents perfect inequality. Therefore a rise in the Gini coefficient results in an increase in inequality.


What is the coefficient of elasticity?

The coefficient of elasticity, often referred to as the price elasticity of demand or supply, measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded or supplied to a change in price. It is calculated as the percentage change in quantity divided by the percentage change in price. A coefficient greater than 1 indicates elasticity (demand or supply is responsive to price changes), while a coefficient less than 1 indicates inelasticity (less responsive). A coefficient of exactly 1 signifies unit elasticity, where changes in price lead to proportional changes in quantity.


How to calculate the Gini coefficient for income distribution?

To calculate the Gini coefficient for income distribution, you need to plot a Lorenz curve showing the cumulative share of income against the cumulative share of the population. The Gini coefficient is then calculated as the area between the Lorenz curve and the line of perfect equality, divided by the total area under the line of perfect equality. The Gini coefficient ranges from 0 (perfect equality) to 1 (perfect inequality).
