Wealth elasticity of demand



Wealth elasticity of demand in microeconomics is the proportional change in the consumption of a good caused by unanticipated net wealth changes (as opposed to changes in personal income). Measuring and accounting for the variability in this elasticity is a continuing problem in Behavioral finance and Consumer theory.
