Price Elasticity • Measure of how responsive quantity demanded is to price %Δ Quantity Demanded % Δ Price
Price Elasticity • There are three basic determinants • Number and closeness of substitutes • The fewer substitutes, the more inelastic • The fraction of the budget of the buyer • The smaller the fraction, the more inelastic • The period of time • The shorter the period of time, the more inelastic
