income elasticity can be applied in the intersection of market demand and supply.
when there is income inequality people with less income get to buy less goods than they would have wanted this affects the suppliers who will have to reduce their goods to be supplied.

∙ 11y agoThe relative response of a change in demand to a change in income. More specifically the income elasticity of demand is the percentage change in demand due to a percentage change in buyers' income. This notion of elasticity captures the buyers' income demand determinant. Three other notable elasticity are the price elasticity of demand, the price elasticity of supply, and the cross elasticity of demand
The income elasticity of demand quantifies the theoretical relationship between income and demand identified by the buyers' income demand determinant A positive income elasticity indicates a normal good and a negative income elasticity exists for an inferior good
Income elasticity=PERCENTAGE CHANGE IN DEMAND/PERCENTAGE CHANGE IN INCOME
Alternative Coefficient (N)
Normal Good N > 0
Inferior Good N < 0
Superior Good N > 1

Distinguish between price elasticity and income elasticity?
The price elasticity refers to the change in demand due to the change in price. The income elasticity of demand on the other hand refers to the change in demand due to the change in income.

If the income elasticity of demand for a product is -0.5 then?
Income Elasticity:Income Elasticity of Demand is measure of percentage change in demand for a commodity due to 1% change in income of consumers. Negative Income Elasticity :Increase in Income of consumers lead to decrease in the quantity demanded for a commodity.Example: unbranded items.so if Income Elasticity for product is -0.5 then its demand will be decreases as Income of consumers increases.

Income elasticity of demand?
The Income Elasticity of Demand is used to measure how an increase or decrease in the income of consumers affects the demand for a particular product. This relationship varies depending on the type of goods.
When will the income elasticity of demand equal zero?
When an increase in income is not associated with a change in the demand of a good.
What are different types of elasticity?
The elasticity of demand refers to how sensitive the demand for a good is to changes in other economic variables. The different types are: price elasticity, income elasticity, cross elasticity and advertisement elasticity.
What is the difference between income elasticity demand and price elasticity demand?
price elasticity is the degree to which demand for a good will change relative to a change in the price of that good. Income elasticity is the degree to which demand for a good will change relative to a change in the spending power of the consumer. it is the percentage change in quantity demanded/percentage change in price.
How income elasticity of demand can be use to classify normal goods?
If income elasticity is positive, then it is a normal good. Otherwise, it is an inferior good.
