How do you interpret the coefficient of the price elasticity of demand? Explain when Edis 1.5, 0.7, and 1.0.
When the elasticity of the demand is below 1 that means the demand is price inelastic i.e. a change in the price will have a lower change in the demand for the good like a gasoline demand 0.7 qualifies for that,
When the elasticity of demand is 1 then it will be considered as unit elastic i.e. the change in the price and the demand for the good will be same.
If the EDIS is more than 1 that means a change in the price will have a higher change in the demand for the goods, the luxury goods in the market have such demand that are very elastic.
