    @sveinntryggva You are correct if you are thinking that the value of y $10 bills is equal to trice as many $5 bills-- but that is not what we are talking about here. Sal has it right for describing points we are indifferent between: the line he drew was y=10-2x. At x=0,y=10 you have $50, and you also have $50 at (2,9), (4,8), etc. with a slope of -2, willing to trade 2 x for 1 y.

    Under perfect compliments, why wouldn't the indifference curve have a slope of 1? That way the x and y would always be equal. With the right angle indifference curve, it looks like it could be 1 right shoe and 2 or 3 and so on left shoes.

    Saying that these are "Normal Goods" in the first graph is incorrect. One of them might be an inferior good, especially with the way you drew them- higher budget, lower x. Inferior. You mean "the common case", but not "Normal Goods".

    Why are indifference curves important? Their objective is to show that goods trade according to rules or patterns. Why does that matter? Econ theory proposes a kind of trade pattern, the resolves to a math equilibrium. Purely deductive. But caution: deduction is axiom based. What are the axioms here? If you have a lot of one "normal" good, and a little of another, you give a lot up to get a little. Now think: food, clothes, transport, etc. You have many shifts, one pair of pants.

    I'm afraid graph no2 is incorrect. Y=10$bills; x=5$ bills = y=2x would be the right function, but your plot suggests that 0 units of 10$ bills equals 2 units of 5$ bills. That would be a poor tradeoff :)

  • @a_little_bit_of_wisdom
    @a_little_bit_of_wisdom12 жыл бұрын

    According to this hypothesis, if you have many shirts and few pants, you'll trade a lot of shirts for one more pair of pants. Would the person you trade with ask for more shirts, when you show up at a market? Without special knowledge, they can't tell if you have 1 shirt or 50. Further, if normal goods are common, you'd need to be a mental wizard to figure your point on all those simultaneous curves. If my one pair or pants is torn, II need to buy another pants, and be willing to pay more.

    Maybe a bit late, but then the marginal rate of substitution would just be higher. (You would need 5 more of the less superior good to trade of one of the superior one)

    But this is not "marginal", rather it's at the extreme. Once I've got pants on, I'll use my regular consumer skills to purchase more, whether #3 or #6. Once over-supplied with pants, then my attitude changes,. and I only buy great deals, perhaps. But this is again at the extreme, not at the margin. This isn't a curve; it's a step function. Sensible, probably easier to test. But it doesn't have a single equilibrium. Guess what - that's why it's a curve.
