For example, suppose that initially, the price of good X and Y are PX=Rs.

(In this graph Y is an inferior good since C is to the left of B so Y2 < Ys.).
Â. it. 0000004349 00000 n A drop in price increases is purchasing power, while a rise in price decreases purchasing power” (Hall and Lieberman 166). Thus, the amount of money how much to reduce is known in this case. A similar realistic type of observation is not found in the case of Hicksain’s case, although we can talk theoretically about an income adjustment that will keep the consumer on the same level of the indifference curve. 0000005004 00000 n
0000001375 00000 n In the Sulstky method, the increased income due to fall in price is adjusted or compensated so that the consumer can be on the original or the old indifference curve at the new set of prices. Post author: admin Post category: Microeconomics / Study Materials Post comments: 0 Comments At point E2, the consumer demands X2 units of good X.
Change in money income is equal to cost difference and it is known.
When a good's price decreases, if hypothetically the same consumption bundle were to be retained, income would be freed up which could be spent on a combination of more of each of the goods. Varian, H. Intermediate Microeconomics, 9th Edition. Therefore, Total Price Effect (PE)= Substitution Effect (SE)+ Income Effect (IE). 115 the consumer can still buy 7 units of X and 8 units of Y as before. 0000002396 00000 n IE and SE can be obtained from directly observed fact.
There are two main methods of decomposition of total effects into substitution and income effect as suggested in the economic literature; first the Hicksian method and second the Slutsky method.

This observation has led economists to try to separate the impact of a price change on quantity demanded into two components. Due to the fall in the price of good X, the purchasing power of the consumer increases. 0000000957 00000 n Drawing the new imaginary budget line through the original equilibrium point E1 on the indifference curve IC1 implies that his purchasing power remains constant and he or she can consume the original bundles if he likes. A Soviet economist, Eugen Slutsky had proposed an alternative definition of the substitution effect, similar to the Hicksian substitution effect. Although operational, the Slutsky method is not theoretically defensible, because the movement from original equilibrium (E1) to upper equilibrium (E2) involves a movement between indifference curves and thus is not a substitution effect. However, in the Slutsky method, we know the amount of money income that is to be reduced or withdrawn so that he or she would be able to get the same level of purchasing power after a fall in price. There is a difference in both the income and substitution effects when it comes to normal and inferior goods. ��ZC���'�b� �:�rŻ��by�C����Db�����$I[�04dg�|n+�/��*�DF�[� �����L���Je�p^�"�mc;x��W��ּ0C�vН]Pbա��LjƂ(���(J*��. Total change in demand = income effect + substitution effect.
0000005741 00000 n To find the substitution effect component of change in relative price, we use the compensating variation in the Hicksian method but we donât know by how much amount of money income is reduced or withdrawn to keep real income constant.
35 of the consumer’s incomes. The following table shows the comparison between the above two methods of decomposition of the total effect on the income and substitution effect. If the price of coffee increased, consumers of hot drinks may decide to start drinking tea instead. Thus the new total consumption bundle chosen, compared to the old one, reflects both the effect of the changed relative prices of the two goods (one unit of one good can now be traded for a different quantity of the other good than before as the ratio of their prices has changed) and the effect of the freed-up income.
0000007091 00000 n Slutskys decomposition of the effect of a price change into a pure substitution effect and an income effect thus explains why the Law of Downward-Sloping Demand is violated for very inferior goods.
For the detailed explanation of the decomposition of price effect into substitution and income effect under the Hicksian method please click here. The authors state, “The income effect of a price change arises from a change in purchasing power over both goods. The idea now is that the consumer is given just enough income to achieve her old utility at the new prices, and how her choice changes is seen. The change in relative price results in the consumer to rearrange the purchase of good X and Y and as a result, the consumer will attend equilibrium at higher indifference curve IC2 at point E2. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. THE IMPACT OF A PRICE CHANGE The substitution effectinvolves the substitution of good x 1 for good x 2 or vice-versa due to a change in relative prices of the two goods. If income is altered in response to the price change such that a new budget line is drawn passing through the old consumption bundle but with the slope determined by the new prices and the consumer's optimal choice is on this budget line, the resulting change in consumption is called the Slutsky substitution effect. Here the newly shifted budget line passes through the initial equilibrium E1 on the initial indifference curve IC1 so that the consumer can purchase the initial bundle of goods even after the fall in price. It is easy to handle the income effect but a little difficult to deal with the substitution effect. Here we will discuss both of the methods of Income and Substitution Effects of a Price Change separately.
Suppose the consumer buys 7 units of X and 8 units of good Y. now PX falls to Rs. 0000006389 00000 n He or she finds good X relatively cheaper than good Y. 0000003174 00000 n The following figure shows the process of decomposition of price effect into the substitution and income effect under the Slutsky method. 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. If the price of Y falls, the budget constraint pivots to BC2, with a greater intercept of good Y because if all income were spent on Y more of it could be purchased at the now-lower price. The income effect results from an increase or decrease in the consumer’s real income or purchasing power as a result of the price change. 0000002187 00000 n The idea is that the consumer is given enough money to purchase her old bundle at the new prices, and her choice changes are seen.
The income effect results from an increase or decrease in the consumer’s real income or purchasing powerpurchasing power as a result of theas a result of the price change. 0000001169 00000 n If the increased real income has given back to the consumer then he or she will move to the new higher level of indifference curve with a higher level of satisfaction. Thus, here consumer substitutes X1X2 units of good X for good Y due to the lower price of good X (because of the relatively cheaper price of good X). The division can be carried out graphically as follows: let the price of X increase so that the price line in Figure 7 moves from PP′ to PR′, and assume an imaginary intermediate price line, LL′, with the slope of PR′ but tangent… The Hicks substitution effect is illustrated in the next section. This will cause the demand for tea to increase. Thus, the equilibrium point (E2 in our diagram of Hicksian decomposition) made by a newly drawn imaginary budget line on the initial indifference curve IC2 is difficult to find in real life. 0000005025 00000 n 10 and PY= Rs. 0000003708 00000 n The change in the quantity demanded due to a price change can be decomposed into two effects: the income effect and the substitution effect. A more convenient method to identify the substitution effect. This movement from point E1 to E2 or from X1 to X2 is a substitution effect because it is the effect in consumption due to change in the relative price of the commodity X only, keeping the real purchasing power or real income constant. 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. This results in the outward rotation of the budget line from AB to AB1.
