State the factors affecting the price elasticity of demand? The type of product will affect the price elasticity of demand i.e. a necessity such as petrol will have a inelastic demand as it is a must have for consumers so a change in price will cause only a minor change in price whereas if a product is not a necessity for consumers it will have an elastic demand meaning a small change in price could lead to a greater change in quantity demanded The proportion of the consumers income spent on a product

Elasticity of Labour Demand A firm always incurs a change in labour or capital. It is important for a firm to know the effects on the wage or capital increase since it would help the firm make accurate decisions. A change in wage would make an impact on the firms employment. When there is a wage cut‚ it reduces the price of labour relative to that of capital‚ and now labour is cheaper. However‚ when the wage increase the price of labour increases and the firm would substitute away from labour toward

The Changing Price Elasticity of Demand for Domestic Airline Travel Consumers make economic decisions as to what they buy based largely on price. More specifically‚ the change in the amount of a good purchased is often highly dependent on its change in price. That measure of responsiveness is defined as the price elasticity of demand. Mathematically‚ it is often expressed as: Ed = - percent change in quantity demanded / percent change in price‚ or -(dQ/Q)/(dP/P). The minus sign is often
