Chapter Outline Chapter Overview • The elasticity concept • Own price elasticity of demand – Elasticity and total revenue – Factors affecting the own price elasticity of demand – Marginal revenue and the own price elasticity of demand • Cross-price elasticity – Revenue changes with multiple products • Income elasticity • Other Elasticities – Linear demand functions – Nonlinear demand functions • Obtaining elasticities from demand functions – Elasticities for linear demand functions – Elasticities for nonlinear demand functions • Regression Analysis – Statistical significance of estimated coefficients – Overall fit of regression line – Regression for nonlinear functions and multiple regression 3-2 Introduction Chapter Overview • Chapter 2 focused on interpreting demand functions in qualitative terms: – An increase in the price of a good leads quantity demanded for that good to decline. – A decrease in income leads demand for a normal good to decline. • This chapter examines the magnitude of changes using the elasticity concept, and introduces regression analysis to measure different elasticities. 3-3 The Elasticity Concept The Elasticity Concept • Elasticity – Measures the responsiveness of a percentage change in one variable resulting from a percentage change in another variable. 3-4 The Elasticity Concept The Elasticity Formula • The elasticity between two variables, 𝐺 and 𝑆, is mathematically expressed as: %Δ𝐺 𝐸𝐺,𝑆 = %Δ𝑆 • When a functional relationship exists, like 𝐺 = 𝑓 𝑆 , the elasticity is: 𝑑𝐺 𝑆 𝐸𝐺,𝑆 = 𝑑𝑆 𝐺 3-5 The Elasticity Concept Measurement Aspects of Elasticity • Important aspects of the elasticity: – Sign of the relationship: • Positive. • Negative. – Absolute value of elasticity magnitude relative to unity: • 𝐸𝐺,𝑆 > 1 𝐺 is highly responsive to changes in 𝑆. • 𝐸𝐺,𝑆 < 1 𝐺 is slightly responsive to changes in 𝑆. 3-6 Own Price Elasticity of Demand Own Price Elasticity • Own price elasticity of demand – Measures the responsiveness of a percentage change in the quantity demanded of good X to a percentage change in its price. 𝑑 𝐸𝑄 𝑋 𝑑 ,𝑃𝑋 %Δ𝑄𝑋 = %Δ𝑃𝑋 – Sign: negative by law of demand. – Magnitude of absolute value relative to unity: • 𝐸𝑄 𝑋 • 𝐸𝑄 𝑋 • 𝐸𝑄 𝑋 𝑑 ,𝑃𝑋 𝑑 ,𝑃𝑋 𝑑 ,𝑃𝑋 > 1: Elastic. < 1: Inelastic. = 1: Unitary elastic. 3-7 Own Price Elasticity of Demand Linear Demand, Elasticity, and Revenue Linear Inverse Demand: 𝑃 = 40 − 0.5𝑄 Demand: 𝑄 = 80 − 2𝑄 $30 $20 × 60 20 40 = $600 $800 • Revenue = $10 Price $40 $35 $30 $20 $10 −3 −1 • Elasticity: −2 × 60 = −0.333 20 40 elastic. unitary elastic. • Conclusion: Demand is inelastic. $30 $25 Observation: Elasticity varies along a linear (inverse) demand curve $20 $15 $10 $5 Demand 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Quantity 3-8 Own Price Elasticity of Demand Total Revenue Test • When demand is elastic: – A price increase (decrease) leads to a decrease (increase) in total revenue. • When demand is inelastic: – A price increase (decrease) leads to an increase (decrease) in total revenue. • When demand is unitary elastic: – Total revenue is maximized. 3-9 Own Price Elasticity of Demand Extreme Elasticities Price Demand 𝐸𝑄𝑋 𝑑 ,𝑃𝑋 = 0 Perfectly elastic Demand 𝐸𝑄𝑋𝑑 ,𝑃𝑋 = −∞ Perfectly Inelastic Quantity 3-10 Own Price Elasticity of Demand Factors Affecting the Own Price Elasticity • Three factors can impact the own price elasticity of demand: – Availability of consumption substitutes. – Time/Duration of purchase horizon. – Expenditure share of consumers’ budgets. 3-11 Own Price Elasticity of Demand Elasticity and Marginal Revenue • The marginal revenue can be derived from a market demand curve. – Marginal revenue measures the additional revenue due to a change in output. • This link relates marginal revenue to the own price elasticity of demand as follows: 1+𝐸 𝑀𝑅 = 𝑃 𝐸 – When −∞ < 𝐸 < −1 then, 𝑀𝑅 > 0. – When 𝐸 = −1 then, 𝑀𝑅 = 0. – When −1 < 𝐸 < 0 then, 𝑀𝑅 < 0. 3-12 Own Price Elasticity of Demand Demand and Marginal Revenue Price 6 Unitary 𝑃 MR Demand 0 1 3 6 Quantity Marginal Revenue (MR) 3-13 Cross-Price Elasticity Cross-Price Elasticity • Cross-price elasticity – Measures responsiveness of a percent change in demand for good X due to a percent change in the price of good Y. 𝑑 𝐸𝑄 𝑋 – If 𝐸𝑄 𝑋 ,𝑃𝑌 – If 𝐸𝑄 𝑋 𝑑 𝑑 ,𝑃𝑌 𝑑 ,𝑃𝑌 %Δ𝑄𝑋 = %Δ𝑃𝑌 > 0, then 𝑋 and 𝑌 are substitutes. < 0, then 𝑋 and 𝑌 are complements. 3-14 Cross-Price Elasticity Cross-Price Elasticity in Action • Suppose it is estimated that the cross-price elasticity of demand between clothing and food is -0.18. If the price of food is projected to increase by 10 percent, by how much will demand for clothing change? %∆𝑄𝐶𝑙𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑 𝑑 −0.18 = ⇒ %∆𝑄𝐶𝑙𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 = −1.8 10 – That is, demand for clothing is expected to decline by 1.8 percent when the price of food increases 10 percent. 3-15 Cross-Price Elasticity Cross-Price Elasticity • Cross-price elasticity is important for firms selling multiple products. – Price changes for one product impact demand for other products. • Assessing the overall change in revenue from a price change for one good when a firm sells two goods is: ∆𝑅 = 𝑅𝑋 1 + 𝐸𝑄 𝑋 𝑑 ,𝑃𝑋 + 𝑅𝑌 𝐸𝑄 𝑌 𝑑 ,𝑃𝑋 × %∆𝑃𝑋 3-16 Cross-Price Elasticity Cross-Price Elasticity in Action • Suppose a restaurant earns $4,000 per week in revenues from hamburger sales (X) and $2,000 per week from soda sales (Y). If the own price elasticity for burgers is 𝐸𝑄𝑋 ,𝑃𝑋 = −1.5 and the cross-price elasticity of demand between sodas and hamburgers is 𝐸𝑄𝑌,𝑃𝑋 = −4.0, what would happen to the firm’s total revenues if it reduced the price of hamburgers by 1 percent? ∆𝑅 = $4,000 1 − 1.5 + $2,000 −4.0 −1% = $100 – That is, lowering the price of hamburgers 1 percent increases total revenue by $100. 3-17 Income Elasticity Income Elasticity • Income elasticity – Measures responsiveness of a percent change in demand for good X due to a percent change in income. 𝑑 𝐸𝑄 𝑋 – If 𝐸𝑄 – If 𝐸𝑄 𝑑 ,𝑀 %Δ𝑄𝑋 = %Δ𝑀 𝑑 > 0, then 𝑋 is a normal good. 𝑑 < 0, then 𝑋 is an inferior good.

Calculate the own price, cross-price and income elasticities of demand. – 𝑄𝑋 𝑑 = 100 − 3 $25 + 4 $35 − 0.01 $20,000 + 2 50 = 65 units. 25 = −1.15. 65 35 Cross-price elasticity: 4 = 2.15. 65 20,000 Income elasticity: −0.01 = −3.08. 65 – Own price elasticity: −3 – – 3-22 Obtaining Elasticities From Demand Functions Elasticities for Nonlinear Demand Functions • One non-linear demand function is the loglinear demand function: ln 𝑄𝑋 𝑑 = 𝛽0 + 𝛽𝑋 ln 𝑃𝑋 + 𝛽𝑌 ln 𝑃𝑌 + 𝛽𝑀 ln 𝑀 + 𝛽𝐻 ln 𝐻 – Own price elasticity: 𝛽𝑋 . – Cross price elasticity: 𝛽𝑌 . – Income elasticity: 𝛽𝑀 . 3-23 Obtaining Elasticities From Demand Functions Elasticities for Nonlinear Demand Functions In Action • An analyst for a major apparel company estimates that the demand for its raincoats is given by 𝑙𝑛 𝑄𝑋 𝑑 = 10 − 1.2 ln 𝑃𝑋 + 3 ln 𝑅 − 2 ln 𝐴𝑌 where 𝑅 denotes the daily amount of rainfall and 𝐴𝑌 the level of advertising on good Y. What would be the impact on demand of a 10 percent increase in the daily amount of rainfall? 𝐸𝑄 𝑋 𝑑 ,𝑅 = 𝛽𝑅 = 3. So, 𝐸𝑄 𝑋 𝑑 ,𝑅 = %∆𝑄𝑋 𝑑 %∆𝑅 ⇒3= %∆𝑄𝑋 𝑑 . 10 A 10 percent increase in rainfall will lead to a 30 percent increase in the demand for raincoats. 3-24 Regression Analysis Regression Analysis • How does one obtain information on the demand function? – Published studies. – Hire consultant. – Statistical technique called regression analysis using data on quantity, price, income and other important variables. 3-25 Regression Analysis Regression Line and Least Squares Regression • True (or population) regression model 𝑌 = 𝑎 + 𝑏𝑋 + 𝑒 – 𝑎 unknown population intercept parameter. – 𝑏 unknown population slope parameter. – 𝑒 random error term with mean zero and standard deviation 𝜎. • Least squares regression line 𝑌 = 𝑎 + 𝑏𝑋 – 𝑎 least squares estimate of the unknown parameter 𝑎. – 𝑏 least squares estimate of the unknown parameter 𝑏. • The parameter estimates 𝑎 and 𝑏, represent the values of 𝑎 and 𝑏 that result in the smallest sum of squared errors between a line and the actual data. 3-26 Regression Analysis Excel and Least Squares Estimates SUMMARY OUTPUT Regression Statistics Multiple R 0.87 R Square 0.75 Adjusted R Square 0.72 Standard Error 112.22 Observations 10.00 Estimated Demand: 𝑄 = 1631.47 − 2.60𝑃𝑅𝐼𝐶𝐸 𝑎 = 1631.47 𝑏 = −2.60 ANOVA Df Regression Residual Total Intercept Price 1 8 9 SS 301470.89 100751.61 402222.50 Coefficients Standard Error 1631.47 243.97 -2.60 0.53 MS 301470.89 12593.95 F Significance F 23.94 0.0012 t Stat P-value Lower 95% Upper 95% 6.69 0.0002 1068.87 2194.07 -4.89 0.0012 -3.82 -1.37 3-27 Regression Analysis Evaluating Statistical Significance • Standard error – Measure of how much each estimated estimate varies in regressions based on the same true demand model using different data. • Confidence interval rule of thumb – 𝑎 ± 2𝜎𝑎 – 𝑏 ± 2𝜎𝑏 • t-statistics rule of thumb – When 𝑡 > 2, we are 95 percent confident the true parameter is in the regression is not zero. 3-28 Regression Analysis Excel and Least Squares Estimates SUMMARY OUTPUT Regression Statistics Multiple R 0.87 R Square 0.75 Adjusted R Square 0.72 Standard Error 112.22 Observations 10.00 𝑠𝑒 (𝑎) = 243.97 𝑠𝑒(𝑏) = 0.53 𝑡𝑎 = 6.69 > 2, the intercept is different from zero. 𝑡𝑏 = −4.89 < 2, the intercept is different from zero.
