Back to Assignment Attempts: Average: /2 10. Problems and Applications Q10 Consider an indifference curve for someone deciding how to allocate time between work (and thus consumption) and leisure. Suppose the wage increases. The substitution effect induces a person to work and consume in response to higher wages. If consumption is a normal good, the income effect induces the person to consume when the wage rises, but if consumption is an inferior good, the income effect induces the person to consume in response to higher wages. True or False: The person's consumption may fall as a result of the higher wage if consumption is an inferior good. True O False
