	Public good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Such goods raise similar issues to public goods: the mirror to the public goods problem for this case is sometimes called the tragedy of the commons.
		The economic concept of public goods should not be confused with the expression "the public good", which is usually an application of a collective ethical notion of "the good" in political decision-making.
		Collective goods (or social goods) are defined as public goods that could be delivered as private goods, but are usually delivered by the government for various reasons, including social policy, and financed from public funds like taxes.

		In consumer theory, an inferior good is a good that increases in demand when the consumers income falls, unlike normal goods, for which the opposite is observed.
		As a rule, used and obsolete goods (but not antiques) marketed to persons of low income as closeouts are inferior goods at the time even if they had earlier been normal goods or even luxury goods.
		Good X is an inferior good since the amount bought decreases from X1 to X2 as income increases.

		Inferior goods reflect this property both at the micro level (an individual gets a big raise and buys less cheap IKEA furniture) and at a macro level (the mean income in a state rises and demand for low-cost gruel falls).
		To qualify, the good needs to be inferior (in the sense described above), there must be a lack of close substitutes, and the good must comprise a significant share of the purchaser’s budget.
		Whereas Giffen goods are easy to reconcile with ‘rationality’ as understood by economists, Velben goods do so only when they are viewed as inputs in the manufacture of the commodity actually sought: such as social status or prestige.

	Inferior Goods
		Inferior Goods are goods or services for which an increase in income results in a fall in the amount bought e.g.
		An inferior good decreases in demand when the consumer's income rises, unlike Normal Goods, for which the opposite is observed.
		Inferiority, in this sense, is an observable fact rather than a statement about the quality of the good.

		Collective goods (or social goods) are defined in economics as public goods that could be delivered as private goods, but are delivered instead by the government for various reasons (usually social policy) and financed from public funds like taxes.
		A credence good is a term used in economics for a good whose utility impact is difficult or impossible for the consumer to ascertain, unlike experience goods the utility gain or loss is difficult to measure after consumption as well.
		There are three necessary preconditions for this situation to arise: the good in question must be an inferior good, there must be a lack of close substitute goods, and the good must comprise a substantial percentage of the buyer's income.

		A good can be normal for one person at one point in their life and inferior at another.
		However, the income effect depends on whether the good is a normal or an inferior good.
		A Giffen good is one for which a decrease in price causes quantity demanded to fall (the income effect outweighs the substitution effect, making the total effect negative).

		A normal good is one where, as one would expect, its demand rises as consumers’ income rises.
		With inferior goods, there is an inverse relationship between real income and the demand for the good in question.
		If it was a normal, or even an inferior good, one would have expected the demand for potatoes to fall as a result of this price rise.

	Giffen good - Conservapedia
		The good must be an inferior good, such that the demand for the good decreases with an increase in consumer income
		The most commonly cited example of a Giffen good was the potato in Ireland in the 1800s, when families lived almost entirely on potatoes for their sustenance.
		The concept of a Giffen good is contrary to the ability of the invisible hand to create substitutes.

		That is to say, a luxury good may become a normal good or even an inferior good at different income levels, e.g.
		There are also goods that are perceived as luxurious by the public simply because they play a role of status symbols as such goods tend to signify the purchasing power of those who acquire them.
		These kinds of goods are the objects of a socio-economic phenomenon called conspicuous consumption and commonly include luxury cars, expensive watches and jewelry, designer clothing, yachts, and large residences such as McMansions, urban mansions and country houses.

	B&W Photo - Printing & Finishing Forum: Lenswork publishes inferior portfolio - photo.net
		LW seems to have really good reproduction quality, but without seeing the prints, I wouldn't make any serious judgment about tonality from a magazine, particularly when the magazine versions are reductions from 11x14" contacts.
		Thinking that somebody must be good, because he was published in lensework, is as simple as thinking something it's true, because it was in the newspaper.
		Having now satisfied my sense of indignation at the photographically ignorant deciding what's good in photography, and still joking just a little, the only remaining irritation is that the photographically ignorant are, by and large, easy to please, as evidenced by the aforementioned success.

	bookofjoe: First-ever sighting of a Giffen good
		A Giffen good is one for which demand goes down when you lower its price, or for which demand goes up when you increase its price.
		Strictly speaking, a Giffen good is one in which the income effect dominates the substitution effect of a price change, and in the opposite direction.
		But, where a good is very strongly inferior (an inferior good is one where we prefer to consume less of it as we get richer) and where the good is a big portion of overall initial spending (like they're now arguing for flour in China), we can observe consumption drop with a price drop.

	Eco 301 chapter 4
		Goods are independent if the price of one changes and there is no effect and the quantity demanded of the other.
		But the firm sells more goods (Q) and TR is increased due to selling more Q. If this increase in TR due to selling more Q is more than the decrease in TR due to the lower price then TR increased when price fell and the good is elastic.
		This is when the quantity demanded for good decreases in response to the growth of a good.

	Giffen Goods
		An inferior good is a good whose quantity demanded falls as incomes rise.
		So that when prices of inferior goods rise quantity demanded falls, and the law of demand is still true.
		However, for some special inferior goods the negative substitution effect may be overpowered by a stronger positive income effect.

	Definition of Inferior goods
		In consumer theory, an inferior good is one for which demand decreases when income rises, unlike the more common normal goods, for which the opposite is observed.
		National bus service, such as that provided by Greyhound Lines, is an example of an inferior good.
		When money is constricted in comparison to time, bus services become more palatable, but when money is abundant and time, thus, worth more of it, more rapid transport is preferred.

		The product is an inferior good, and the income effect leads to a fall in demand, which is bigger than the substitution effect.
		Indifference curves are generally negatively sloped if the goods involved are genuinely "goods" but they could be positively sloped if one of the products involves is a "bad".

	PlanetPapers - Demand Curves
		A inferior good is a good that is in less demand even though the income increases.
		Consumers can do two things; if the good is a normal good (previously defined), they would buy less of the good; if the good is an inferior good, they would buy more of the good.
		Whether the good is a normal or an inferior good has nothing to do with the positive or negative slope of a demand curve, the demand curve must have a negative slope because of budget constraints.
