Individual Demand
Price Changes
• Using the figures developed in the previous chapter, the impact of a change in the price of food can be illustrated using indifference curves.

Individual Demand
The Demand Curve
• The price-consumption curve traces the utility-maximizing combinations of food and clothing associated with each and every price of food.
• The demand curve relates the quantity of food that the consumer will buy to the price of food.

Individual Demand
Two Important Properties of Demand Curves
1) The level of utility that can be attained changes as we move along the
curve.
![Page 15: Chapter 4 Individual and Market Demand. Topics to be Discussed n Individual Demand n Income and Substitution Effects n Market Demand n Consumer Surplus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649e735503460f94b72969/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Individual Demand
Two Important Properties of Demand Curves
2) At every point on the demand curve, the consumer is maximizing utility by
satisfying the condition that the MRS of food for clothing equals the ratio of the prices of food and clothing.

Individual Demand
Income Changes
• The income-consumption curve traces out the utility-maximizing combinations of food and clothing associated with every income level.
![Page 26: Chapter 4 Individual and Market Demand. Topics to be Discussed n Individual Demand n Income and Substitution Effects n Market Demand n Consumer Surplus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649e735503460f94b72969/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Individual Demand
Income Changes
• An increase in income shifts the budget line to the right, increasing consumption along the income-consumption curve.
• Simultaneously, the increase in income shifts the demand curve to the right.
![Page 27: Chapter 4 Individual and Market Demand. Topics to be Discussed n Individual Demand n Income and Substitution Effects n Market Demand n Consumer Surplus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649e735503460f94b72969/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Individual Demand
Income Changes
• If the income-consumption curve has a positive slope, the quantity demanded increases with income and the income elasticity of demand is positive.
• The good is a normal good.
![Page 28: Chapter 4 Individual and Market Demand. Topics to be Discussed n Individual Demand n Income and Substitution Effects n Market Demand n Consumer Surplus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649e735503460f94b72969/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Individual Demand
Income Changes
• If the income-consumption curve has a negative slope, the quantity demanded decreases with income and the income elasticity of demand is negative.
• The good is an inferior good.

Individual Demand
Substitutes and Complements
1) Two goods are considered substitutes if an increase (decrease)in the price of one leads to an increase (decrease) in the
quantity demanded of the other.– e.g. Butter and margarine

Substitutes and Complements
2) Two goods are considered complements if an increase (decrease) in the price of one leads to a decrease (increase) in the quantity demanded of the other.
– e.g. CDs and CD players

Individual Demand
Substitutes and Complements
• If the price consumption curve is downward-sloping, the two goods are considered substitutes.
• If the price consumption curve is upward-sloping, the two goods are considered complements.
They could be both!

Income and Substitution Effects
A fall in the price of a good has two effects.
• Consumers experience an increase in real purchasing power.
• They will tend to consume more of the good that has become relatively cheaper, and less of the good that is now relatively more expensive.
![Page 45: Chapter 4 Individual and Market Demand. Topics to be Discussed n Individual Demand n Income and Substitution Effects n Market Demand n Consumer Surplus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649e735503460f94b72969/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Income and Substitution Effects
Substitution Effect
• The substitution effect is the change in an item’s consumption associated with a change in the price of the item, with the level of utility held constant.
• When the price of an item declines, the substitution effect always leads to an increase in the quantity of the item demanded.
![Page 46: Chapter 4 Individual and Market Demand. Topics to be Discussed n Individual Demand n Income and Substitution Effects n Market Demand n Consumer Surplus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649e735503460f94b72969/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Income and Substitution Effects
Income Effect
• The income effect is the change in an item’s consumption brought about by the increase in purchasing power, with the price of the item held constant.
• When a person’s income increases, the quantity demanded for the product may increase or decrease.
– It usually still increases

Income and Substitution Effects
Income Effect
• Even with inferior goods, the income effect is rarely large enough to outweigh the substitution effect.

Income and Substitution Effects
A Special Case--The Giffen Good
• The income effect may theoretically be large enough to cause the demand curve for a good to slope upward.
• This rarely occurs and is of little practical interest.

From Individual to Market Demand
• Market demand curves are the horizontal summation of the individuals’ demand curves.

Market Demand
Two Important Points
1) The market demand will shift to the right as more consumers enter
the market.
2) Factors that influence the demands of many consumers will also affect
the market demand.

Market Demand
Point and Arc Elasticities of Demand
• For large price changes (e.g. 20%), the value of elasticity will depend upon where the price and quantity lie on the demand curve.

Problems Using Point Elasticity
• We may need to calculate elasticity between two points instead of at a single point.
• The price and quantity used as the original will alter the price elasticity of demand.
• Using different original values will result in different calculations.

Example:The AggregateDemand For Wheat
The demand for U.S. wheat is comprised of domestic demand and export demand.

Example:The AggregateDemand For Wheat
The domestic demand for wheat is given by the equation:
• QDD = 1354 - 70P
The export demand for wheat is given by the equation:
• QDE = 2031 - 209P

Example:The AggregateDemand For Wheat
Domestic demand is relatively price inelastic (-0.2), while export demand is more price elastic (-0.4 to -0.5).

Consumer Surplus
Consumer surplus along with aggregate profits allow us to evaluate:
1) Costs and benefits of different market structures
2) Public policies that alter the behavior of consumers and firms

Example:The Value of Clean Air
Air is free in the sense that we need not pay to breathe it.
The Clean Air Act was amended in 1970.
Question: Were the benefits of cleaning up the air worth the costs?

People pay more to buy houses where the air is clean.
Data for house prices among neighborhoods of Boston and Los Angeles were compared with the various air pollutants.
