Yanıt Açıklaması:

Determinants of Price Elasticity of Demand-Are Close Substitutes of the Good Available to Consumers?

Price changes affect the consumer behavior by changing their quantity demanded in the opposite direction. How much consumers change their quantity demanded is mostly affected by the availability of close substitutes of the good. Goods with close substitutes tend to have more elastic demand than goods without close substitutes since it is easier for consumers to give up that good and switch to its substitutes. For example, apple and orange or pears are easily substitutable.
