and cross-price elasticities of demand essential to competitor identification and market definition? (2 points possible) The own-price elasticity of demand determines whether a product faces close substitutes‚ but it does not identify what substitutes are available. Economists can identify substitutes by measuring the cross-price elasticity of demand between two products. The higher is the cross-price elasticity‚ the more readily consumers substitute between two goods when the price of one good
