Substitution effects: it is a situation whereby if there is an increase in price or decrease in income, consumers will substitute high-priced items with less expensive alternatives. Substitution effects shows the change in the consumption of goods due to the change in the prices of the products. Consumers tends to replace/substitute luxury goods with cheaper items when income decreases or price rises. However, the consumers also tend to substitute cheaper items with luxury goods when their income increases and price of the luxury goods decreases. For example, when the price of salad cream increases above the price of mayonnaise, buyers are more likely to substitute salad cream consumption with mayonnaise consumption. The demand for salad

The thought is that the shopper is sufficiently given cash to buy her old package at the new costs, and her decision changes are seen. However, "the hick's substitution effect keeps utility constants rather than keeping purchasing power constants. The slutsky substitution effects gives consumer enough money to go back to his old level of consumption. While the hicks substitution effects gives the consumer enough money to get back to his old indifference curve". (HAL R. …show more content…
There is a positive relationship between the income and quantity demanded, which means if an income of a person increases, the quantity of goods and services demanded will increase. For example, when an individual’s income increases he/she will demand more goods and services, thus increase in consumption, all things being equal. Furthermore, if an individual’s income is £500 and it increase with 50% he/she have more money to spend on goods and services so the demand of that good will increase.
Calculating income effects : below is the formula for calculating income effect
"We saw that in the example given earlier X1(p'1, m') =x1(2,120) =16 X1(p'1, m') = x1(2,106) =15.3
Therefore, the income effect for this problem is Change in x_1^n=x1(2,120)-x1(2,106) =16-15.3=0.7" (HAL R.VARIAN).
Normal Goods
Normal good is a type of good which increases as income increases, so the demand curve for that good will shift to the right. For example Christian louboutin or channel shoes can be a normal
