Definition for cross price elasticity (XED)
The responsiveness of demand for Good X following a change in price of Good Y
Formula for Cross Price Elasticity (XED)
% change in quantity of Good X/% change in price of Good Y
Links between complementary goods and XED?
Negative XED = Price of Y increases, causing Demand of X to fall!
Links between Substitute Goods and XED?
Postive XED: Price of Y increases, causing demand for X to increase.
