A Simple Geometry of Income Elasticities.
Heavey, Jerome F.
Journal of Economic Education, v25 n4 p303-08 Fall 1994
Contends that, although most economics students are acquainted with the graphical analysis of the income and substitution effects of a price change, they often fail to appreciate that the same graphs provide information on the income elasticities of the two goods. Illustrates the proof of this concept using mathematical formulae and five graphic figures. (CFR)
