Recent research confirms that the demand for cigarettes is not only inelastic, but it also indicates that smokers with incomes in the lower half of all incomes respond to a given price increase by reducing their purchases by amounts that are more than four times as large as the purchase reductions made by smokers in the upper half of all incomes. How can the income and substitution effects of a price change help explain this finding?
1. What information do we gain by isolating the income and substitution effects from each other when examining the effect of a change in price on consumption? How does this further help us understand the characteristics of normal and inferior goods? Using the concepts of the substitution and income effects, how would you define a Giffin good?
