Substitute good. In microeconomics, substitute goods are two goods that can be used for the same purpose by consumers. [1] That is, a consumer perceives both goods as similar or comparable, so that having more of one good causes the consumer to desire less of the other good. Contrary to complementary goods and independent goods, substitute ...
< implies two goods are complements. Consumers purchase less B when the price of A increases. Consumers purchase less B when the price of A increases. Example: the cross elasticity of demand of entertainment with respect to food is −0.72, so 1% increase in the price of food will decrease the demand for entertainment by 0.72%.
In economics, a complementary good is a good whose appeal increases with the popularity of its complement. [further explanation needed] Technically, it displays a negative cross elasticity of demand and that demand for it increases when the price of another good decreases. [1] If is a complement to , an increase in the price of will result in a ...
The related goods that may be used to determine sensitivity can be complements or substitutes. [11] Finding a high-cross price elasticity between the goods may indicate that they are more likely substitutes and may have similar characteristics. [18] If cross-price elasticity is negative, the goods are likely to be complements.
A graphical representation of Porter's five forces. Porter's Five Forces Framework is a method of analysing the competitive environment of a business. It draws from industrial organization (IO) economics to derive five forces that determine the competitive intensity and, therefore, the attractiveness (or lack thereof) of an industry in terms of its profitability.
Independent goods. Independent goods are goods that have a zero cross elasticity of demand. Changes in the price of one good will have no effect on the demand for an independent good. Thus independent goods are neither complements nor substitutes. For example, a person's demand for nails is usually independent of his or her demand for bread ...
Six forces model. The six forces model is an analysis model used to give a holistic assessment of any given industry and identify the structural underlining drivers of profitability and competition. [1][2] The model is an extension of the Porter's five forces model proposed by Michael Porter in his 1979 article published in the Harvard Business ...
The more and closer the substitutes available, the higher the elasticity is likely to be, as people can easily switch from one good to another if an even minor price change is made; [28] [29] [30] There is a strong substitution effect. [31] If no close substitutes are available, the substitution effect will be small and the demand inelastic. [31]
