| Factors that determine Price Elasticity of Demand (5) |
|
Definition
1. Number of substitutes: a product with substitutes will have an elastic Price Elasticity of Demand.
2. Necessity or Luxury: goods that are necessities (glasses, cigs) will have an Inelastic Price Elasticity of Demand, while Luxury Items (jewelry) will have an Elastic Price Elasticity of Deand.
3. Level of Income: poor: basic will be elastic; rich basics will be Inelastic because you will buy the amount you need regardless of price.
4. Price of Product relative to income. large portion of given income - elastic, small portion of income - inelastic (we do not price shop for salt).
5. Length of Period of Adjustment. Price change over long time = elastic; short term inelastic: people will pay higher gas prices short term, but will buy better mileage cars long term. |

| Cross Elasticity of Demand (define) |
|
Definition
| Comparing % price change of one good to the % Quantity Demanded change of another. Will determine if goods are substitutes or complements to each other. |
|
|
Term
| Substitute Goods (define) |
|
Definition
used to identify goods through Cross Elasticity. An increase in price for one will increase Quantity Demanded for the other and vis versa.
If the price of one brand of toothpaste goes up, people will purchase another brand, therefore they are substitutes.
Cross Elasticity of Demand = positive number |
|
|
Term
| Complement Goods (define) |
|
Definition
used to define goods when comparing Cross Elasticity. The increase of price for one good will decrease the Quantity Demanded of its complement.
Complement Goods = negative Cross Elasticity totals.
