Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?
Recent research confirms that the demand for cigarettes is not only inelastic, but it also indicates that smokers with incomes in the lower half of all incomes respond to a given price increase by reducing their purchases by amounts that are more than four times as large as the purchase reductions made by smokers in the upper half of all incomes. How can the income and substitution effects of a price change help explain this finding?
Assume a piece of jewelry, and 3 consecutive drops in its price, from ??1 to ??2, from ??2 to ??3 and from ??3 to ??4. Alia’s preferences are such that her demand is relatively elastic between ??1 and ??2, relatively inelastic between ??2 and ??3, and that she perceives that piece of jewelry as a Giffen good between prices ??3 and ??4. How would her priceconsumption curve look like in an indifference curves framework with well-behaved preferences? Clearly label your graph.
Assume a piece of jewelry and 2 consecutive drops in its price. Also consider Alia’s demand to be relative elastic in the price range from ?1 to ?2, and that she perceives jewelry as a Giffen good in the price range from ?2 to ?3. Draw her price-consumption curve with well-behaved preferences. Clearly label your graph.
1.(a) Derive own-price elasticity of demand (eii), income elasticity of demand (hi) and cross-price elasticity of demand (eij) for the Cobb-Douglas Utility Function. (b) With respect to Cobb Douglas preferences, what happens to the demand for each of two products (x and y) when the price of product y increases, as a result of: (i) the substitution effect; (ii) the income effect; and, (iii) the overall price effect?
Q.3. Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is −5, its income elasticity is 2, its advertising elasticity is 3, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between it and good Y is 6. Determine how much the consumption of this good will change if: Instructions: Enter your responses as percentages. If you are entering a negative number, be sure to use a (−) sign. a. The price of good X decreases by 4 percent. percent b. The price of good Y increases by 7 percent. percent c. Advertising decreases by 3 percent. percent d. Income increases by 2 percent. percent
Suppose that a person regards ham and cheese as pure complements—he or she will always use one slice of ham in combination with one slice of cheese to make a ham and cheese sandwich. Suppose also that ham and cheese are the only goods that this person buys, and that bread is free.6.1. If the price of ham is equal to the price of cheese, show that the own-price elasticity of demand for ham is –0.5 and that the cross-price elasticity ofdemand for ham with respect to the price of cheese is also –0.5.6.2. Explain why the results from (6.1) reflect only income effects, not substitution effects. What are the compensated price elasticities in this problem?6.3. Use the results from (6.2) to show how your answers to (6.1) would change if a slice of ham cost twice the price of a slice of cheese.
