In this topic video we cover the relevance of the coefficients of three different elasticities of demand (PED, YED and XED).

Coefficients of Elasticity of Demand

Coefficients:

Coefficient means value

Elasticity is a number!Coefficient could be high – elasticOr it might be low – inelasticOr zero – perfectly inelasticOr infinity – perfectly elastic

Price elasticity of demand

Formula: Ped = % change in quantity demanded of good X / % change in price of good X

PED will normally be negative – i.e. inverse relationship between quantity demanded and a change in the price

IMPORTANT! New specs require students to include the minus or plus signs along with the coefficient

If PED = 0, demand is perfectly price inelasticIf PED 1, demand is price elasticIf PED = infinity, demand is perfectly price elasticIf PED = 1, demand is unitary elastic

Income elasticity of demand

Income elasticity of demand (YED) measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded for a product to a change in income

Formula: YED = % change in quantity demanded / % change in income

For normal necessity products: YED is positive but coefficient < +1For normal luxury products: YED is positive but coefficient > +1For inferior products: YED is negative (YED
