Demand curve - Price elasticity of demand (PED)
1 If the PED is between zero and 1, demand is said to be inelastic; if PED
equals 1, the demand is unitary elastic; and if the Price elasticity of
demand is greater than 1, demand is elastic

Price elasticity of demand
1 'Price elasticity of demand' ('PED' or 'Ed') is a measure used in economics to show the
responsiveness, or elasticity (economics)|elasticity, of the quantity demanded of a
good or service to a change in its price. More precisely, it gives the percentage change in
quantity demanded in response to a one percent change in price (ceteris paribus, i.e. holding constant all the other determinants of demand, such as income). It was devised
by Alfred Marshall.

Price elasticity of demand - Definition
1 It is a measure of responsiveness of the quantity of a raw good or service
demanded to changes in its price.Png, Ivan (1989). p.57. The formula for the
coefficient of price elasticity of demand for a good is:Parkin; Powell; Matthews
(2002). pp.74-5.Gillespie, Andrew (2007). p.43.Gwartney, Yaw Bugyei-Kyei.James D.; Stroup, Richard L.; Sobel, Russell S.
(2008). p.425.

Price elasticity of demand - Definition
1 Because the PED is negative for the vast majority of goods and services, however, economists often refer to
price elasticity of demand as a positive value (i.e., in absolute value
terms).

Price elasticity of demand - Definition
1 The latter type of elasticity measure is called a Cross-price elasticity of demand|cross-price elasticity of demand.Ruffin; Gregory (1988)

Price elasticity of demand - Point-price elasticity
1 In terms of partial-differential calculus, point-price elasticity of demand can be defined as follows:Mas-Colell; Winston;
Green (1995). let \displaystyle x(p,w) be the demand of goods x_1,x_2,\dots,x_L as a function of parameters price and wealth,
and let \displaystyle x_l(p,w) be the demand for good \displaystyle l. The
elasticity of demand for good \displaystyle x_l(p,w) with respect to price p_k is

Wealth elasticity of demand
1 'Wealth elasticity of demand' in microeconomics is the proportional change in the consumption of a good (economics)|good
relative to a change in consumers' Wealth (economics)|wealth (as distinct from changes
in personal income#Meaning in economics and use in economic theory|income).
Measuring and accounting for the variability in this Elasticity (economics)|elasticity is a
continuing problem in behavioral finance and consumer theory.

Wealth elasticity of demand - Definition
1 This is analogous to the definition of the income effect from the income
elasticity of demand, or the substitution effect from the price
elasticity

Market power - Market power and elasticity of demand
1 The relationship between market power and the price elasticity of
demand (PED) can be summarized by the equation:

Cross elasticity of demand
1 For example, if, in response to a 10% increase in the price of fuel, the
demand of new cars that are fuel inefficient decreased by 20%, the
cross elasticity of demand would be:

Cross elasticity of demand
1 Therefore, if the price of product B decreases, then the demand curve
for product A shifts to the right, increasing A's demand, resulting in a negative value for the cross elasticity
of demand

Cross elasticity of demand - Formula

of demand is

Income elasticity of demand
1 In economics, 'income Elasticity (economics)|elasticity of Supply and demand|demand' measures the responsiveness of the
demand for a good to a change in the income of the people demanding the good, ceteris
paribus. It is calculated as the ratio of the percentage change in demand to the
percentage change in income. For example, if, in response to a 10% increase in income, the
demand for a good increased by 20%, the income elasticity of demand would be 20%/10%
= 2.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-elasticity-of-demand-toolkit.html
Income elasticity of demand - Interpretation
1 * A negative income elasticity of demand is associated with inferior goods; an increase in income will
lead to a fall in the demand and may lead to changes to more luxurious
substitutes

Income elasticity of demand - Interpretation
1 * A positive income elasticity of demand is associated with normal goods; an increase in income will
lead to a rise in demand. If income elasticity of demand of a commodity is less than 1, it is a necessity good. If the elasticity of demand is greater
than 1, it is a luxury good or a superior good.

Income elasticity of demand - Interpretation
1 * A zero income elasticity of demand occurs when an increase in income is not associated with a change in the demand of a good. These would be
sticky (economics)|sticky goods.

Income elasticity of demand - Interpretation
1 Income elasticity of demand can be used as an indicator of industry health, future consumption patterns and as a guide to firms investment decisions. For example,
the selected income elasticities below suggest that an increasing portion of
consumer's budgets will be devoted to purchasing automobiles and restaurant
meals and a smaller share to tobacco and margarine.Frank, Robert (2008). p. 125
