单词 substitution
释义 substitution

The possibility of switching consumption from one good or service to another in response to changes in their relative prices. Holding total utility constant, the elasticity of substitution between two goods or services is the ratio of the proportional change in relative quantities consumed to the the proportional change in relative prices. If the price of one good changes, the prices of all other goods being held constant, the change in demand can be divided into a substitution effect and an income effect. The substitution effect is the change in consumption holding the utility level constant: it shows how consumption would have changed if consumers had been compensated for the change in prices. This is contrasted with the income effect, which is the change in consumption due to the effect of the price change on real income.
