Who evolved concept of elasticity of demand?
The concept of elasticity of demand was primarily evolved by economists Alfred Marshall and Arthur Cecil Pigou. Marshall introduced the idea in his seminal work "Principles of Economics" in the late 19th century, where he defined elasticity as a measure of how quantity demanded responds to price changes. Pigou later refined the concept, helping to establish it as a fundamental principle in microeconomic theory.
If the elasticity of demand is equal to one then the demand is?
Unitary elasticity is when the price elasticity of demand is exactly equal to one.
Distinguish between price and income elasticity of demand?
distinguish between price elasticity of demand and income elasticity of demand
1 What is meant by cross elasticity?
Cross elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded for one good to a change in the price of another good. It is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded of Good A divided by the percentage change in price of Good B. A positive cross elasticity indicates that the goods are substitutes, while a negative cross elasticity suggests they are complements. This concept helps businesses understand how changes in pricing strategies can affect demand for related products.
What came up with elasticity?
Elasticity, in economic terms, refers to the responsiveness of one variable to changes in another variable, typically used to measure how the quantity demanded or supplied of a good responds to changes in price. The concept was developed in the 19th century, with significant contributions from economists like Alfred Marshall, who formalized the concept in his work on supply and demand. Elasticity can be categorized into different types, such as price elasticity of demand, income elasticity, and cross-price elasticity, each providing insights into consumer behavior and market dynamics.
