Which would be most relevant to a positive sign (+) on a cross-price elasticity ?
Group of answer choices
an inferior good.
a Giffen good.
a substitute good.
a normal good.
a complementary good.
Answer is C. Substitute goods.
Cross elasticity measures the changes in quantity demanded of one
good due to changes in prices of other good.
Cross price elasticity = % change in quantity demanded of good 1/ %
change in price of good 2.
In case of substitute good increase in price of good 2 will
increase the quantity demanded of good 1 , so there will be
positive cross elasticity.
Substitute goods are those goods which could be used in place of
one another like tea and coffee.
