Price Elasticity

Quantify demand sensitivity to price, control for confounders, and simulate revenue‑optimal prices with confidence intervals

What Makes This Powerful

Multiple Elasticity Methods

Log-log regression for point elasticity, arc elasticity across price quantiles, rolling window analysis for temporal changes. Includes time trend and seasonal components (sin/cos for 12+ observations).

Revenue Optimization

Finds revenue-maximizing price using 100-point simulation. Calculates cross-price elasticity if competitor prices available. Segment-level elasticity for heterogeneous markets.

What-If Scenarios

Pre-computed scenarios for -20% to +20% price changes showing expected quantity and revenue impacts. Demand and revenue curve visualizations with optimal price highlighting.

What You Need to Provide

Price and quantity data required

Provide data with price_column and quantity_column. Optional: revenue_column (calculated if not provided), competitor_price_column for cross-elasticity, segment column for heterogeneous analysis.

Algorithm uses log-log regression (default method), calculates arc elasticity at price quantiles, finds revenue-maximizing price through simulation, and generates what-if scenarios from -20% to +20% price changes.

How We Estimate and Optimize

From preparation to validated pricing scenarios

1

Calculate Elasticities

Log-log regression for point elasticity with confidence intervals. Arc elasticity at price quantiles (10th to 90th percentile). Rolling window analysis if sufficient data (20+ observations).

2

Find Optimal Price

Simulate 100 price points from min to max, predict quantities using elasticity model, calculate revenues, identify maximum. Add time trend and seasonal components (sin/cos) when applicable.

3

Generate Scenarios

Calculate impacts for 7 price changes (-20%, -10%, -5%, 0%, +5%, +10%, +20%). Show expected quantity and revenue changes. Create demand and revenue curve visualizations.

Why This Analysis Matters

Price elasticity analysis provides point estimates, arc elasticities across price ranges, and revenue-maximizing prices through simulation of demand curves.

The tool calculates multiple elasticity measures: log-log regression coefficient, arc elasticity at quantiles, rolling window for temporal changes. Identifies optimal pricing through 100-point simulation and provides ready-to-use what-if scenarios from -20% to +20% price changes.

Note: Uses log-log regression by default. Automatically adds seasonal components (sin/cos) for 12+ observations. Cross-price elasticity requires competitor_price_column. Segment analysis requires 10+ observations per segment.
