Indifference Curves - First to answer both questions correctly wins 1 SBD, all attempts will receive upvotes

in economics •  7 years ago  (edited)


Hi Everyone,

This is a short video that briefly explains indifference curves and how they can be used to explain decision-making. Indifference curves and indifference curve analysis can be considered as part of consumer theory which investigates people’s purchasing behaviour. At the end of this post I have links to my other posts and videos relating to consumer theory and utility.

What is an indifference curve?

An indifference curve is a curve that shows all the combination of goods and/or services that yield the same level of utility. Indifference curves are typically represented on a two-dimensional plane for 2 goods or services. This is generally impractical for real world representation as people have a selection of a multitude of goods and services. Indifference curves can serve as good teaching tool. Indifference curve can help explain relationships between various types of goods (complements and substitutes).

Real life application of indifference curves

Indifference curves can be used to explain why people desire particular quantities of certain good and services. For example, if there was a shortage of bread. It is likely that demand for complements to bread such as jam, peanut butter, butter, and preserves will fall. This is because these goods are normally bought together. One has little value without the other. Indifference curves are an easy way to explain this type of phenomena compared to mathematical equations.

Sir whats the ans of puzzle..?

Hmm C although I would argue they are substitutes goods unless we are looking at a brand as a factor as individuals will switch between on the basis of price.
They are both shoes so no change whatever one is cheaper all else equal is what consumers prefer till equilibrium between both preferences are reached so think it would be a mild change.
For second one looks like C since an inferior good is not a substitute unless their is a willingness it likely would be a forced decision based on income.
If the economy is doing bad then people will buy more cup noodles and kraft dinner over beef and ribs etc.

So D, C

Thanks for providing logic behind your answers.

And in my opinion peanut butter has a lot of value without bread. :)

Good point it can be used in a quite few different dishes. My sister uses it to make her peanut butter protein balls.

Respuesta 1 Opción C.
Respuesta 2 Opción C.

Pero tengo una pregunta que deseo formular aquí. En Venezuela cuando había alimentos, casi nadie compraba maíz en granos (no procesado). Pero cuando los procesados dejaron el mercado, el maíz en grano tuvo un alza. El maíz no procesado sería el sustituto. Ahora ya que este cambio obedece a la necesidad de alimentarse de la gente; ¿hasta que punto juegan la "necesidad" y el simple "gusto" por un producto en cómo se desarrolla la curva de indiferencia? ¿Puede invertirse ese proceso? ¿Cuanto tiempo llevaría? Espero hacerme entender... Saludos
