and cross-price elasticities of demand essential to competitor identification and market definition? (2 points possible) The own-price elasticity of demand determines whether a product faces close substitutes‚ but it does not identify what substitutes are available. Economists can identify substitutes by measuring the cross-price elasticity of demand between two products. The higher is the cross-price elasticity‚ the more readily consumers substitute between two goods when the price of one good

The law of supply and demand describes how prices will vary based on the balance between the supply of a product and the demand for that product (Wikipedia‚ 2005). If there is a balance between the supply‚ (the availability of the product)‚ and the demand‚ (how much product the consumers want)‚ then the price for the product would be considered good. If there is an imbalance‚ the price will change. According to Adam Smith‚ the invisible hand is a self-adjusting force in the market that corrects

What determines this interconnection is how much of a

lower costs - its supply curve is lower than the UK. This means that Japan has a comparative advantage in producing camcorders. In the absence of international trade between the two countries‚ British consumers would have to buy at a higher equilibrium price than Japanese consumers. Since Japan is more efficient‚ it makes sense for Japan to specialise in production of camcorders and export their surplus output to the UK at a lower free trade price. At the intermediate price shown in the diagram
