Presentation transcript:

Income Elasticity of Demand

Income elasticity of demand (Yed): measures the relationship between a percentage change in quantity demanded for a good or service and a change in real income Income elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded % change in income YED = %  Q %  Y Whether or not YED is + or – is important and is therefore taken into account.

Normal Goods Normal goods: goods that have a positive income elasticity of demand so as consumers’ income rises, more is demanded at each price level. Normal goods classified as either… 1. Necessities (essential goods) - YED between 0 and +1 items that people tend to buy irrespective of their income. 2. Luxuries – YED > +1. I.e. the demand rises more than proportionate to a change in income Demand is highly sensitive to increases or decreases in income.

Inferior Goods Inferior goods: goods that have a negative income elasticity of demand. Demand falls as income rises. Think of university students!!!

Examples

Businesses use of YED? Helps firms predict the effect of a business cycle

Cross Price Elasticity of Demand (Xed) Cross price elasticity (Xed): measures the percentage change of demand for good X following a change in the price of good Y (a related good). Xed = % change in DEMAND for product X % change in PRICE for product Y + or – important

Substitutes Substitutes goods: goods in competitive demand and act as replacements for another product. XED for SUBS+I+U+ES is positive.

Complements Complementary goods: two goods that are typically used at the same time XED for two complements is NEGATIVE.

Stronger relationship = higher XED Stronger relationship = higher XED. Two close substitutes = strongly positive. Strong complementary relationship = highly negative. Unrelated products = zero cross elasticity.
