Which of the following may measure the degree of interdependence of firms?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Quantity cross elasticity measures interdependence between firms by relating a change in one firm's output to the resulting change in another firm's price. Price cross elasticity instead measures the substitutability of their products through the response of demand to another product's price. Employment and factor-use elasticities do not provide this measure of firms' market interdependence.
