How might a market research analyst use measures of elasticity-price, cross, and income-in her work? Explain

A market researcher is interested in determining the effects of changes on demand for a product or industry. Each measure of elasticity can be critical here. Price elasticity helps predict changes in unit output for a price change. Income elasticity helps predict changes in demand as buyer income changes, perhaps over a business cycle. Cross elasticity helps predict the impact of a change in prices of competitors in the industry, competing products, and other products that affect demand for a particular product. Market researchers rely upon all of these in defining markets, defining boundaries of markets, and analyzing effects from competitors.
