Income Elasticity of Demand The Income Elasticity of Demand measures the degree to which consumers respond to a change in their incomes by buying more or less of a particular good. The coefficient of income elasticity of demand is determined with the formula: (% change in quantity demanded) / (% change in income) (McConnell & Brue). Income elasticity of demand is used to see how sensitive the demand for a good is to an income change. The higher the income elasticity‚ the more sensitive demand
