Question

How does the nature of a good affect its elasticity of demand?

Open in App
Solution

The elasticity of demand for a good depends upon the nature of the good, i.e., whether the good is a necessary or a luxury good. The elasticity of demand for a necessary good is relatively small. For example, if the price of such good rises, its buyers generally are not able to reduce their demand.
