The Effect of Changes in Price
• Price-consumption curve (PCC): for a good X is the set of optimal bundles traced on an indifference map as the price of X varies (holding income and the price of Y constant).

The Effects of Changes in Income
• Income-consumption curve (ICC): for a good X is the set of optimal bundles traced on an indifference map as income varies (holding the prices of X and Y constant).
• Engel curve: curve that plots the relationship between the quantity of X consumed and income.

The Effects of Changes in Income
• Normal good: one whose quantity demanded rises as income rises.
• Inferior good: one whose quantity demanded falls as income rises.

Income and Substitution Effects
• Substitution effect: that component of the total effect of a price change that results from the associated change in the relative attractiveness of other goods.
• Income effect: that component of the total effect of a price change that results from the associated change in real purchasing power.
• Total effect: the sum of the substitution and income effects.

Market Demand Curves
• Market demand curve: the horizontal summation of the individual demand curves.
• Price elasticity of demand: the present age change in the quantity of a good demanded that result from a 1 present change in its price.

Three Categories of Price Elasticity
• Elastic → € < -1 • Inelastic → € > -1 • Unit elastic → € = 1

Elasticity and Total Revenue
• A price reduction will increase total revenue if and only if the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is greater than 1.
• An increase in price will increase total revenue if and only if the absolute value of the price elasticity is less than 1.

Determinants of Price Elasticity of Demand
• Substitution possibilities: the substitution effect of a price change tends to be small for goods with no close substitutes.
• Budget share: the larger the share of total expenditures accounted for by the product, the more important will be the income effect of a price change.
• Direction of income effect: a normal good will have a higher price elasticity than an inferior good.
• Time: demand for a good will be more responsive to price in the long-run than in the short-run.
