Markets in action (Elasticity) (Topic 2)

Calculation, interpretation/application

PES=(%∆𝑄_s)/(%∆𝑃)

CED (XED)=(%∆𝑄_a)/(%∆𝑃_b)

=0 (or close to 0): no significant relationship >0: substitutes <0: compliments

YED=(%∆𝑄_𝑑)/(%∆Y)

+: normal goods (luxury goods (>1) & necessities (<1)) -: inferior goods

PED=(%∆𝑄_𝑑)/(%∆𝑃)

Elastic product: P rises -> TE falls; P falls -> TE rises Inelastic product: P rises -> TE rises; P falls -> TE falls

PED>1: relatively elastic (flatter demand curve) PED<1: relatively inelastic (steeper demand curve) PED=1: unitary elastic PED=0: perfectly inelastic (vertical demand curve) PED infinity: perfectly elastic (horizontal demand curve)

Demand and supply (Topic 1B)
