Elastic goods are items that people can live without and will decrease in demand when prices rise, while inelastic goods are necessities that people will continue to buy even when prices increase. Examples of elastic goods include luxury items and entertainment, whereas inelastic goods include essential items like gasoline and food. Recognizing these classifications aids in understanding consumer purchasing behavior in relation to price changes.
