Cross Price Elasticity
This is your third type and measure of elasticity
It measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of one good relative to the price of
another good; eg, we will analyze how a falling price of fuel affect car sales
Cross Price ElasticityOur lovely equation…
CPE= Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded of Good XPercentage Change in Price of Good Y
QUANTITY OVER PRICE
Cross Price Elasticity
If there is an inverse relationship between quantity demanded of one good and the price of the other,
they are complements
If there is a positive relationship between quantity demanded and price, they are substitutes
0— +
Complements Substitutes
(at 0 there is no relevant correlation)
Cross Price ElasticityExample 1
When the cross-price elasticity of demand is negative, the goods in questions are necessarily…
Cross Price ElasticityExample 2
If the prices of pens in a market increases from $1.00 to $1.25 and the quantity of pencils demanded triples, what is the cross price
elasticity?
Cross Price ElasticityExample 3
When the demand for Cheetos declines by 30%, the quantity of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos demanded goes from 100 million to 50 million. What is the CPE?
