Definition: The price-consumption curve of good X is the set of optimal baskets for every possible price of good X
Assumes all other variables remain constant.

Note: The price-consumption curve for good X
can be written as the quantity consumed of good X for any price of X.
This is the individual’s demand curve for good X.

Notes: The consumer is maximizing utility at
every point along the demand curve The marginal rate of substitution falls
along the demand curve as the price of X falls (if there was an interior solution).
As the price of X falls, utility increases along the demand curve.

Example: Finding a Demand Curve with an Interior Solution
Suppose U(X,Y) = XY The optimal conditions are:
1. MUX = MUY Y = X PY . Y = PX . X PX PY PX PY
2. PX . X + PY . Y = I 2 PX . X = I X = I .

X? What is the demand curve for good X?

Price-consumption curve:
When PX < PY, then X* = I/PX and Y* = 0
When PX > PY, then X* = 0 and Y* = I/PY
When PX = PY, the consumer chooses any point in the budget line.

The income-consumption curve for good X can also be written as the quantity consumed of good X for any income level.
This is the individual’s Engel curve for good X.

Note: When the slope of the income-
consumption curve is positive, then the slope of the Engel curve is also positive.
![Page 36: Lecture # 07-b The Theory of Demand Lecturer: Martin Paredes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56812f66550346895d94f0f7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Normal Good: If the income consumption curve shows
that the consumer purchases more of good X as her income rises, good X is a normal good.
Equivalently, if the slope of the Engel curve is positive, the good is a normal good.
![Page 37: Lecture # 07-b The Theory of Demand Lecturer: Martin Paredes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56812f66550346895d94f0f7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Inferior Good: If the income consumption curve shows
that the consumer purchases less of good X as her income rises, good X is a inferior good.
Equivalently, if the slope of the Engel curve is negative, the good is a normal good.
Note: A good can be normal over some ranges of income, and inferior over others.
