Lesson 4b: Other Types of Elasticity

Outcomes - What you should learn

TOPICS

- Price Elasticity of Supply
- Cross Elasticity of Demand
- Income Elasticity of Demand

OUTCOMES

Price Elasticity of Supply

define price elasticity of supply

calculate and interpret the coefficient of price elasticity of supply using the midpoint formula

determinants of price elasticity of supply

price elasticity of supply and the market period, the short run, and the long run

What is the difference between the "Law of Supply" and the "Price Elasticity of Supply"?

Cross Elasticity of Demand

define cross elasticity of demand

interpret the coefficient of cross elasticity of demand including both its value and the sign (substitutes, complements, and unrelated goods)

Interpret this coefficient of cross elasticity of demand: Eab = -2

Income Elasticity of Demand

define income elasticity of demand

interpret the coefficient of income elasticity of demand including both its value and the sign (inferior goods, normal goods, luxury goods)

Interpret this coefficient of income elasticity of demand: Edy = + 0.5
