The key metric of pricing in Economics: Elasticity

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.
