The availability of substitutes
Habit- Forming Goods
'Luxuries' and 'necessities'
The proportion of income which is spent on the commodity
The long run and short run.
Expectations of the future price
A key determinant of the price elasticity pf supply is the availability of alternative products. The more choices consumers have, the more elasticity the price must have.
distinguish between price elasticity of demand and income elasticity of demand
price of the good
1)price elasticity of demand 2)income elasticity of demand 3)cross elasticity of demand
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsivenss of demand for a product to a change in the price of another good.
Unitary elasticity is when the price elasticity of demand is exactly equal to one.
In economics , the cross elasticity of demand and cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demand of a good to a change in the price of another good.
role of price elasticity of demand in managerial decisions
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.
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.
No, cross price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of demand are not the same. Price elasticity of demand measures how the quantity demanded of a good responds to changes in its own price, while cross price elasticity of demand measures how the quantity demanded of one good responds to changes in the price of another good. The former focuses on a single product, while the latter examines the relationship between two different products, indicating whether they are substitutes or complements.
