to an increase of 10% in income. Then the income elasticity of demand would be‚ Ey= (20%)/(10%)=2 The amount which the quantity demanded for a good change in response to a change in income depends on the type of goods. We can distinguish the types of goods as following‚ Normal goods - Ey > 0 – positive YED Luxury goods - Ey > 1 Necessities - 0 < Ey < 1 Inferior products - Ey < 0 – negative YED Let’s see how the income elasticity of demand deviates for normal goods and inferior products‚ Normal
