	Ernst Engel
		German statistician, the head of the Prussian Statistical Bureau (1860-1882), known for the "Engel curve," or Engel's law, which states that the proportion of expenditure on food will fall as income rises, i.e.
		Engel curves are useful for separating the effect of income on demand from the effects of changes in relative prices.
		Engel also examined the relationship between the size of the Prussian rye harvest and the average price of rye over a number of years prior to 1860, probably the first empirical study of the relationship between price and supply.

		Matthew Engel has had a journalistic career of unusual variety over more years than he cares to remember: he covered the first Gulf War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the death of Princess Diana and the September 11 attacks.
		This is intended to raise money for the Laurie Engel Fund, set up in conjunction with the Teenage Cancer Trust in memory of his son, who died in 2005 aged 13.
		Matthew Engel is baffled when he is forbidden from wearing his boxer-style swimming trunks at a pool in France.

		The Engel curve can be useful in marketing research as it will indicate the path of demand for a given commodity as income increases (or decreases).
		Note that the demand curve is plotted with the quantity of x on the x-axis and Px on the y-axis.
		For normal goods the demand curve is downward sloping from the left reflecting the basic Law of Demand: the lower the price, the greater the demand.

	Engel curve (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In economics, an Engel curve shows how the demand for a good or service changes as the consumers income level changes.
		Graphically, the Engel curve is represented in the first-quadrant of the cartesian coordinate system.
		For normal goods, the Engel curve has a positive slope.

		An Engel curve is the relationship between the amount of a product that people are willing to buy and their income.

		An Engel curve shows the relationship between income and the amount consumed of a commodity, ceteris paribus.
		This diagram shows how the Engel curve for good X is derived - as X is normal, the Engel curve will be positively sloped.
		To derive the market demand curve we simply add up at each price the amount demanded by each individual - as quantity is measured on the horizontal axis, this is referred to as the horizontal summation of the individual demand curves.

		The amount of a given commodity (x) purchased at different levels of income, derived from the income-consumption curve, forms the 'Engel' curve.
		If the price of one commodity (x) changes a new set of combinations (x, y) is created between the changing tangents of the budget line and indifference curves forming the 'price-consumption curve' for the commodity (x) - assuming constant income and prices of the other commodity (y).
		The demand curve for a given commodity (x) can be derived from the price-consumption curve showing how much of that commodity (x) is purchased at different prices - assuming constant income and constant prices for the other good (y)

	Global Poverty Research Group: Gender-bias in the intra-household allocation of educational expenditure
		It examines gender bias in educational expenditures both directly by inspecting individual level expenditures and also indirectly, using the household consumption based (Engel curve) methodology.
		This paper seeks to find explanations for the Engel curve’s failure by exploiting a dataset that has educational expenditure information at the individual level and also, by aggregation, at the household level.
		It is found that in the basic education age groups, the discriminatory mechanism in education is via differential enrolment rates for boys and girls.

	Comparative Statics
		Figure 4.30 shows an Engel curve for good X which was derived from the income-consumption line given in figure 4.29a.
		Figure 4.30 showed a relatively steep Engel curve, which indicates that while the consumption of X increases with income, it does so slowly.
		Alternatively, if the Engel curve were relatively flat, it would indicate that consumption of the good increases more than proportionately with income.

	_______ Microeconomics for Managers -- Fall 1995
		Since Giffen’s paradox can rarely occur in practice, in our analysis we shall always assume that the demand curve for a good is downward sloping, even if it is an inferior good.
		Suppose a market has only two consumers, one consumer's demand curve is Q = 10 - p and another consumer's demand curve is Q = 20 - 2p.
		Marginal revenue for the linear demand curve: Q = a - bp.

	Collegenet :: Bekijk onderwerp - Engel-curve
		Engel, een Duitse statisticus uit de vorige eeuw, constateerde dat er een verband is tussen de uitgaven voor eten en het inkomen.
		In gezinnen met een laag inkomen wordt een relatief groot deel aan eten uitgegeven, in gezinnen met een hoog inkomen is het deel dat aan eten uit gegeven wordt kleiner.
		Dit verschijnsel noemen we de wet van Engel.

	Increasing Demand for Mansions
		The run-up of the stock market over the last few years has lead to greater inequality in the distribution of wealth in the U.S. This is shown (in exaggerated form) by an increased bowing out of the Lorenz curve, shown to the right.
		To the right, we show the equivalent of an Engel curve for mansion demand by wealthy households, or what we might call a wealth demand curve for mansions.
		This curve shows a wealth elasticity of demand for mansions that is greater than 1, meaning, that as the wealth of the richest households increases, the demand for mansions increases at a greater rate.

	Consumer theory: a free software for understanding your textbook (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Based on Hicksian approach to indifference curves and budget lines, this is a free software to draw economic graphs, diagrams, demand curves, singling out individual choices of (hyper)rational consumers choosing the optimal bundle.
		As we said, the neoclassical approach uses "indifference curves" to represent the preferences of the consumer.
		The interesting fact is that a well-behaved Cobb-Douglas curves is in contrast with Engel's Law because it generates constant budget shares devoted to the different class of goods.

		It is found by connecting the locus of tangencies (between indifference curves and the budget line) that results as the budget line is rotated.
		Substitution effect is shown as a movement along the original indifference curve after the income effect has been “canceled out” by (hypothetically) giving the consumer just enough income to return them to their original indifference curve (or hypothetically taking income away in the case of a price decrease).
		Inelastic portion of curve: Increase in price leads to an increase in total revenue (and vice-versa) Unitary elasticity: Total revenue is maximized at point where demand is unit elastic.

	SSRN-IV Estimation of Engel Elasticities from Indian Household Budget Data by Suchismita Bose, Nikhilesh Bhattacharya (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This study experiments with Instrumental Variables (IV) estimation of engel elasticities of items like clothing, from Indian National Sample Survey (NSSO) household budget data, in order to eliminate the effects of seasonal and other fluctuations affecting data collected for a short reference period.
		Further the use of such a reference period introduces errors in observation in both the regressor and the regressand leading to biased estimates in the standard method of engel curve estimation.
		Though the choice among the IV's is not very clear, different IV's give a range of estimates which may cover the true elasticity and which appear to be better than the conventional WLS estimates based on last month data.

	Taylor & Francis Group - Article (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This framework provides a theoretical foundation for the Engel curve, since as incomes increase consumers become satiated when particular needs are satisfied.
		In this article, the social theory of Pierre Bourdieu is offered as an alternative to the Maslow approach, providing the basis for a social critique of consumerism and an alternative evolutionary theory of consumption.
		In this approach, the structure of the social hierarchy both constrains the consumption of lower social strata and leads to subtle, less conspicuous consumption patterns at the top of the social hierarchy: a scenario that could provide a social foundation to the Engel curve.
