supply and demand, in economics, relationship between the quantity of a commodity that producers wish to sell at various prices and the quantity that consumers wish to buy. It is the main model of price determination used in economic theory. The price of a commodity is determined by the interaction of supply and demand in a market. The resulting price is referred to as the equilibrium price and represents an agreement between producers and consumers of the good. In equilibrium the quantity of a good supplied by producers equals the quantity demanded by consumers. increase in demand The quantity of a commodity demanded depends on the price of that commodity and potentially on many other factors, such as the prices of other commodities, the incomes and preferences of consumers, and seasonal effects. In basic economic analysis, all factors except the price of the commodity are often held constant; the analysis then involves examining the relationship between various price levels and the maximum quantity that would potentially be purchased by consumers at each of those prices. The price-quantity combinations may be plotted on a curve, known as a demand curve, with price represented on the vertical axis and quantity represented on the horizontal axis. A demand curve is almost always downward-sloping, reflecting the willingness of consumers to purchase more of the commodity at lower price levels. Any change in non-price factors would cause a shift in the demand curve, whereas changes in the price of the commodity can be traced along a fixed demand curve. decrease in supply The quantity of a commodity that is supplied in the market depends not only on the price obtainable for the commodity but also on potentially many other factors, such as the prices of substitute products, the production technology, and the availability and cost of labour and other factors of production. In basic economic analysis, analyzing supply involves looking at the relationship between various prices and the quantity potentially offered by producers at each price, again holding constant all other factors that could influence the price. Those price-quantity combinations may be plotted on a curve, known as a supply curve, with price represented on the vertical axis and quantity represented on the horizontal axis. A supply curve is usually upward-sloping, reflecting the willingness of producers to sell more of the commodity they produce in a market with higher prices. Any change in non-price factors would cause a shift in the supply curve, whereas changes in the price of the commodity can be traced along a fixed supply curve. The change in demand for a good as a result of a change in the relative price of the good in terms of other goods The substitution effect refers to the change in demand for a good as a result of a change in the relative price of the good compared to that of other substitute goods. For example, when the price of a good rises, it becomes more expensive relative to other goods in the market. As a result, consumers switch away from the good toward its substitutes. Practical Example of Substitution EffectConsider the following example: John eats rice that costs $5 per pound and pasta that costs $10 per pound. The relative price of 1 pound of pasta is 2 pounds of rice. At their current prices, John consumes 1 pound of pasta and 2 pounds of rice. Due to some technological advances in rice cultivation, there has been a fall in rice prices from $5 a pound to $2 a pound. The relative price of 1 pound of pasta has now increased from 2 pounds of rice to 5 pounds of rice. Therefore, John switches away from pasta and to rice. The change in consumption occurs purely due to the changes in the relative price of the goods and not because of a change in income. Graphical Illustration of the Substitution EffectThe graph above is known as an indifference map. Each point on an orange curve (known as an indifference curve) gives consumers the same level of utility. The initial price ratio is P0. This is the price of commodity B relative to commodity A and is known as the relative price of commodity B in terms of commodity A. The consumer initially consumes at point X and consumes A1 units of A and B1 units of B. Consider now the effect of a fall in the price of commodity A from P0 to P1. As a result of the price change, commodity B is now relatively more expensive in terms of commodity A, and commodity A is now relatively less expensive in terms of commodity B. The substitution effect measures the change in consumption such that the consumer’s level of utility does not change. The substitution effect can, therefore, be thought of as a movement along the same indifference curve. It results in a change in consumption from point X to point Y. The consumption of commodity A increases from A1 to A2, and the consumption of commodity B decreases from B1 to B2. Points X and Y give the consumer the same level of utility as they lie on the same indifference curve. It is important to note that Y is not the final point of consumption. At point Y, the consumer has unused income that can be used to increase consumption. The increase in consumption from point Y to point Z is due to the income effect. Slutsky DecompositionA core result in microeconomics is the Slutsky Decomposition or the Slutsky Equation. Russian-Soviet economist and mathematician Eugene Slutsky developed the equation. The Slutsky Decomposition breaks down the change in the demand (or consumption) of a commodity into a change in the demand due to the substitution effect and a change in the demand due to the income effect. The left-hand side of the equation represents the change in demand for commodity X as a result of a change in the price of commodity i. The first term on the right-hand side represents the substitution effect. Mathematically, it is the slope of the compensated demand (Hicksian demand) curve. The second term on the right-hand side represents the income effect. Related ReadingsThank you for reading CFI’s guide to Substitution Effect.

The elasticity of demand refers to the degree to which demand responds to a change in an economic factor. Price is the most common economic factor used when determining elasticity. Other factors include income level and substitute availability.
Elasticity measures how demand shifts when economic factors change. When demand remains constant regardless of price changes, it is called inelasticity.
The elasticity of demand, or demand elasticity, measures how demand responds to a change in price or income. It is commonly referred to as price elasticity of demand because the price of a good or service is the most common economic factor used to measure it. An elastic good is defined as one where a change in price leads to a significant shift in demand and where substitutes are available for an item, the more elastic the good will be. The price elasticity of demand is calculated by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price. If the quotient is greater than or equal to one, the demand is considered to be elastic. If the value is less than one, demand is considered inelastic. Arc Price Elasticity of Demand formula.Common examples of products with high elasticity are luxury items and consumer discretionary items, such as a brand of cereal or candy bars. Food products are easily substituted and brand names are easily replaced by lower-priced items. A change in the price of a luxury car can cause a change in the quantity demanded, and the extent of the price change will determine whether or not the demand for the good changes and if so, by how much. Other factors influence the demand elasticity of goods and services such as income level and available substitutes. During a period of job loss, people may save their money rather than upgrading their smartphones or buying designer purses, leading to a significant change in the consumption of luxury goods.
Available substitutes for a good or service makes an item more sensitive to price changes. If the price of Android phones increases by 10%, this could move demand from Android to iPhones. Inelasticity of demand is evident when demand for a good or service is static when its price or other factor changes, Inelastic products are usually necessities without acceptable substitutes. The most common goods with inelastic demand are utilities, prescription drugs, and tobacco products. Businesses offering such products maintain greater flexibility with prices because demand remains constant even if prices increase or decrease.
The most common goods with inelastic demand are utilities, prescription drugs, and tobacco products. In general, necessities and medical treatments tend to be inelastic, while luxury goods tend to be most elastic. The cross elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness in quantity demanded of one good when the price of another changes. Cross elasticity of demand can refer to substitute goods or complementary goods. When the price of one good increases, the demand for a substitute good will increase as consumers seek a substitute for the more expensive item. Conversely, when the price of a good rises, any items closely associated with it and necessary for its consumption will also decrease. The advertising elasticity of demand (AED) is a measure of a market's sensitivity to increases or decreases in advertising saturation. The elasticity of an advertising campaign is measured by its ability to generate new sales. Positive advertising elasticity means that an uptick in advertising leads to an increase in demand for the goods or services advertised. A good advertising campaign will lead to a positive shift in demand for a good.
The four main types of elasticity of demand are price elasticity of demand, cross elasticity of demand, income elasticity of demand, and advertising elasticity of demand. They are based on price changes of the product, price changes of a related good, income changes, and changes in promotional expenses, respectively.
Elasticity is measured by the ratio of two percentages, measured by calculating the ratio of the change in the quantity demanded to the change in the price.
If the price elasticity is equal to 1.5, it means that the quantity of a product's demand has increased 15% in response to a 10% reduction in price (15% / 10% = 1.5). Elasticity occurs when demand responds to changes in price or other factors. Inelasticity of demand means that demand remains constant even with changes in economic factors. Products and services for which consumers have many options commonly have elastic demand, while products and services for which consumers have few alternatives are most often inelastic |
