Cross-Price, Income and Supply Elasticities Overheads

Income Elasticity of Demand The income elasticity of demand is defined as the percentage change in quantity divided by the percentage change in income, all other influences remaining constant

Price and Income Elasticities of Demand Income elasticity measures shifts in the demand curve Price elasticity measures movements along the curve

Normal and Inferior Goods Normal goods have a positive income elasticity Inferior goods have a negative income elasticity

Necessities and Luxuries Necessities typically have an income elasticity between 0 and 1 Luxuries typically have an income elasticity greater than 1

Examples Fresh Fruit Meat (Steak) Potatoes Food Transportation (???) Eating out Cigarettes

Cross-price Elasticity of Demand The cross price elasticity of demand is defined as the percentage change in the quantity demanded of one good, divided by the percentage change in the price of a different good, all other influences remaining constant We denote the cross price elasticity of good i for good j as ij where

We can then rewrite this as

Elasticities of Demand Price elasticity measures movements along the curve Income elasticity measures shifts in the demand curve Cross-price elasticity measures shifts in the demand curve

Substitutes and Complements Goods are said to be substitutes if ij > 0 Demand goes up as other price goes up Goods are said to be complements if ij < 0 Demand goes down as other price goes up Goods are said to be close substitutes if ij >> 0

Complements Printers and Printer Paper Cars and Gasoline Food and Entertainment Televisions and VCRs

Elasticity of Supply The elasticity of supply is defined as the percentage change in quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price, all other influences remaining constant

The elasticity of supply measures movements along the supply curve

Factors affecting the elasticity of supply Supply will be more elastic, the more alternatives producers of it have for production. Supply will be more elastic if the market is defined narrowly. Supply will be more inelastic if there are biological or other lags in production Supply will be much more elastic in the long run.

Classification of the elasticity of supply Inelastic supply When the numerical value of the elasticity of supply is between 0 and 1.0, we say that supply is inelastic.

Classification of the elasticity of supply Elastic supply When the numerical value of the elasticity of supply is greater than 1.0, we say that supply is elastic.

Classification of the elasticity of supply Unitary elastic supply When the numerical value of the elasticity of supply is equal to 1.0, we say that supply is unitary elastic.

Perfectly inelastic - S = 0 Classification of the elasticity of supply Perfectly inelastic - S = 0 vertical Very short run response Perfectly elastic - S =  horizontal

Analysis of an agricultural market Demand for food and food products is generally price inelastic Supply of many crops is stochastic due to weather, disease, etc Thus we tend to see large changes in price and thus net farm income
