value for WTP‚ one can estimate elasticity of demand. If there is no switching cost between lens and medicine‚ under any price above WTP‚ farmers will choose only medicine. On the other hand‚‚ farmers will chose only lens at any price below WTP. Therefore‚ demand curve is perfectly horizontal. If we assume there is some switching cost‚ and the cost is different from farmers‚ demand increase when price goes down. If we assume liner demand curve‚ we can say slope of demand curve is negative. Still‚ at

the concepts of price elasticity of demand‚ income elasticity of demand and cross elasticity of demand.

It is the percentage change in demand for a good resulting from a percentage change in income‚ ceteris paribus. When income changes with other price or non-price factors‚ such as income‚ remaining unchanged‚ income elasticity of demand measures how much to which demand will change‚ ceteris
