Demand

Consumer Demand Consumer’s demand functions:

Changes in Income Given Prices

Normal Goods Both goods 1 and 2 are normal

An Inferior Good Good 1 is normal. Good 2 is inferior:

Income Offer and Engel Curves Income Offer Curve Engel Curve

Cobb-Douglas Demand function for good 1: Demand function for good 2:

Cobb Douglas Income Offer Curve: Engel Curve:

Perfect Substitutes Demand function for good 1: if

Perfect Substitutes (with ) Income Offer Curve: Engel Curve:

Perfect Complements Optimal choice: Budget line: Demand function for goods 1 and 2:

Perfect Complements Income Offer Curve: Engel Curve:

Homothetic Preferences Consumer’s preferences only depend on the ratio of the two goods: If Then, for Example: Cobb-Douglas, Perfect substitutes, Perfect Complements. Properties: straight income offer curve and Engel curve.

Luxury Good

Necessary Good

Changes in Prices Fix income and price of one good and change price of the other.

Ordinary Goods Price of good 1 decreases. Demand for good 1 increases.

Giffen Goods Price of good 1 decreases. Demand for good 1 decreases.

Price Offer and Demand Curves Price Offer Curve: Demand Curve:

Perfect Complements Price Offer Curve: Demand Curve:

Substitutes Good 1 is a substitute for good 2 when:

Complements Good 1 is a complement to good 2:

Inverse Demand Function Consider a demand function The inverse demand function is Cobb-Douglas example:

Inverse Demand Curve Optimal choice: Suppose: (composite good) Rearrange:
