Cross-price elasticity

Cross-price elasticity measures how the demand for one good responds to a price change in another good — revealing whether two goods are substitutes or complements.

Key ideas

  • Negative value → complements (printers and ink).
  • Near zero → the two goods are basically unrelated.
