Spanish term

nos da esta medida.

Spanish to English Marketing Marketing
In this context:

"Parece importante saber cuál es la reacción de las ventas a modificaciones de estos factores, por ejemplo el precio. El concepto de elasticidad precio de la demanda nos da esta medida."

I see it this way:

"It seems important to know what is the reponse of sales to changes in these factors, for example to prices. The concept of price elasticity of demand provides this measurement."

gives us this measure

I would write the whole sentence thus:

It seems important to find out how sales react to changes in these factors, for example price. The concept of price elasticity of demand gives us this measure.

For an explanation of the concept of price elasticity of demand in economics see:

gives us this information.

Or simply: "provides this information."

I don't think that the literal "measure" or "measurement" works particularly well here.

Suerte.
