  2. Consumer choice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_choice

    The substitution effect increases the amount demanded of good from to in the diagram. In the example shown, the income effect of the fall in partly offsets the substitution effect as the amount demanded of in the absence of an offsetting income change ends up at thus the income effect from the rise in purchasing power due to the price drop is ...

  3. Marginal rate of substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_rate_of_substitution

    For example, if the MRS xy = 2, the consumer will give up 2 units of Y to obtain 1 additional unit of X. As one moves down a (standardly convex) indifference curve, the marginal rate of substitution decreases (as measured by the absolute value of the slope of the indifference curve, which decreases).

  4. Substitute good - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitute_good

    Only if the two products satisfy the three conditions, will they be classified as close substitutes according to economic theory. The opposite of a substitute good is a complementary good, these are goods that are dependent on another. An example of complementary goods are cereal and milk. An example of substitute goods are tea and coffee.

  5. Inferior good - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_good

    The substitution effect is the effect that a change in relative prices of substitute goods has on the quantity demanded. It due to a change in relative prices between two or more substitute goods. When the price of a commodity falls and prices of its substitutes remain unchanged, it becomes relatively cheaper in comparison to its substitutes.

  6. Substitution effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_effect

    The substitution effect is the change that would occur if the consumer were required to remain on the original indifference curve; this is the move from A to B. The income effect is the simultaneous move from B to C that occurs because the lower price of one good in fact allows movement to a higher indifference curve.

  7. Substitution (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_(logic)

    Where ψ and φ represent formulas of propositional logic, ψ is a substitution instance of φ if and only if ψ may be obtained from φ by substituting formulas for propositional variables in φ, replacing each occurrence of the same variable by an occurrence of the same formula. For example: ψ: (R → S) & (T → S) is a substitution ...

  8. Slutsky equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slutsky_equation

    This says that when rises, there is a substitution effect of / towards good 1. At the same time, the rise in has a negative income effect on good 1's demand, an opposite effect of the same size as the substitution effect, so the net effect is zero. This is a special property of the Cobb-Douglas function.

  9. Leontief production function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leontief_production_function

    Two input Leontief Production Function with isoquants. In economics, the Leontief production function or fixed proportions production function is a production function that implies the factors of production which will be used in fixed (technologically predetermined) proportions, as there is no substitutability between factors.
