Slutsky Equation 1 Slutsky’s Identity Let xi (pi , m) be consumer’s demand for good i when price of good i is pi and income is m holding other prices constant Similarly for xi (pi , m) If the price of good i changes from pi to pi Total change in demand denoted by ∆xi = xi (pi , m) - xi (pi , m) 2 Slutsky’s Identity Now let m′be the new level of income such that the consumer is just able to buy the original bundle of goods Total change in demand ∆xi = xi (pi , m) - xi (pi , m) can be rewritten as )] ∆xi = [xi (pi ,m) - xi (pi ,m) ] +[xi (p′ i , m) - xi (p′ i , m′ or denote ∆xi = ∆xis + ∆xin where ∆xis = substitution effect and ∆xin = income effect 3 Slutsky’s Identity Note that m - m is the amount of the change in money income such that the consumer is just able to buy the original bundle of goods (i.e. purchasing power is constant) Denote ∆m = m - m and ∆pi = pi - pi ∆m = ∆pi xi (pi , m) This is the amount of money that should be given to the consumer to hold purchasing power constant 4 Slutsky’s Identity In terms of the rates of change, we can write Slutsky’s Identity as ∆xi ∆pi ∆xis ∆pi where ∆xin = ∆xim xi(pi, m) ∆m ∆xim 5 Effects of a Price Change What happens when a commodity’s price decreases? Substitution effect: the commodity is relatively cheaper, so consumers substitute it for now relatively more expensive other commodities. Income effect: the consumer’s budget of $m can purchase more than before, as if the consumer’s income rose, with consequent income effects on quantities demanded. Vice versa for a price increase 6 Effects of a Price Change x2 m p2 Consumer’s budget is $m. Original choice x1 7 Effects of a Price Change x2 m p2 Lower price for commodity 1 pivots the constraint outwards New Constraint: purchasing power is increased at new relative prices x1 8 Effects of a Price Change x2 m p2 m' p2 Now only $m' are needed to buy the original bundle at the new prices, as if the consumer’s income has increased by $m - $m'. x1 Imagined Constraint: Income is adjusted to keep purchasing power constant 9 Effects of a Price Change Changes to quantities demanded due to this ‘extra’ income ($m - $m') are the income effect of the price change. Slutsky discovered that changes to demand from a price change are always the sum of a pure substitution effect and an income effect. 10 Real Income Changes Slutsky asserted that if, at the new prices, less income is needed to buy the original bundle then “real income” is increased more income is needed to buy the original bundle then “real income” is decreased 11 Real Income Changes x2 Original budget constraint and choice New budget constraint x1 12 Real Income Changes x2 Less income is needed to buy original bundle.

The Law of Downward-Sloping Demand therefore always applies to normal goods. 30 Slutsky’s Effects for Income-Inferior Goods Some goods are income-inferior (i.e. demand is reduced by higher income). The pure substitution effect is as for a normal good. But, the income effect is in the opposite direction. Therefore, the substitution and income effects oppose each other when an income-inferior good’s own price changes. 31 Slutsky’s Effects for Income-Inferior Goods x2 x2 x1 x1 32 Slutsky’s Effects for Income-Inferior Goods x2 ( x1 , x2 ) x2 x2 x1 x1 Good 1 is incomeinferior because ……………………… ……………………… ……………………… x1 33 Slutsky’s Effects for Income-Inferior Goods x2 ( x1 , x2 ) x2 Substitution and Income effects ……….. each other x2 Total Effect x1 x1 x1 34 Slutsky’s Effects for Income-Inferior Goods When pi decreases, ∆pi is negative (─) ∆pi → ∆xi = ∆xis + ∆xin (─) ( ) ( ) ( ) substitution effect increases demand while income effect reduces demand Alternatively, ∆xi ∆xis ∆xim xi(pi, m) = ─ ∆pi ∆pi ∆m ( ) ( ) ( )x( ) 35 Slutsky’s Effects for Income-Inferior Goods When pi decreases, ∆pi is positive (+) ∆pi → ∆xi = ∆xis + ∆xin (+) ( ) ( ) ( ) both substitution and income effects decrease demand when own-price rises.

Hence, ∆xi is usually positive when pi decreases. and ∆xi is usually negative when pi increases. ∆xi That is is ………………….. ∆pi and Demand Curve slopes downward 37 Giffen Goods In rare cases of extreme income-inferiority, the income effect may be larger in size than the substitution effect, causing quantity demanded to fall as own-price rises. Such goods are called Giffen goods. 38 Slutsky’s Effects for Giffen Goods x2 Income effect ………… Substitution effect. x2 x2 x2 x1 x 1 x 1 x1 Substitution effect Income effect 39 Slutsky’s Effects for Giffen Goods x2 A decrease in p1 causes quantity demanded of good 1 to fall. x2 x2 Total x1 x 1 x1 Effect 40 Slutsky’s Effects for Giffen Goods Slutsky’s decomposition of the effect of a price change into a pure substitution effect and an income effect thus explains why the Law of Downward-Sloping Demand is violated for Giffen goods. 41 Hick’s Income and Substitution Effects Previously, we learn Slutsky’s Substitution Effect: the change in demand when purchasing power is kept constant. Hick proposed another type of Substitution Effect where consumer is given just enough money to be on the same indifference curve. Hick’s Substitution Effect: the change in demand when utility is kept constant. 42 Hick’s Income and Substitution Effects Total change in demand when price changes ∆xi = xi (pi , m) - xi (pi , m) can be rewritten as ∆xi = [x i (p′ i , e( p′ i , u)) - x i (pi , m) ] + [x i (p′ i , m) - x i (p′ i , e( p′ i , u)) ] Where e( p′ i , u) is minimum income needed to achieve the original utility u at price p′ i [x i (p′ i , e( p′ i , u)) - x i (pi , m) ] = substitution effect [x i (p′ i , m) - x i (p′ i , e( p′ i , u)) ] = income effect 43 Hick’s Income and Substitution Effects x2 New budget constraint when p1 falls x2 Original choice New choice Original budget constraint x1 x1 44 Hick’s Income and Substitution Effects x2 Substitution Effect is optimal choice found on the original indifference curve using the new relative prices x2 x2 x2 x1 x 1 x1 x1 Income Effect 45 Hick’s Income and Substitution Effects x2 As before, Substitution and Income effects ……….. each other x2 x2 x2 x1 x 1 x1 x1 46 Demand Curves Marshallian (Ordinary) Demand shows the quantity actually demanded when own price changes holding ……….. constant Slutsky Demand shows Slutsky substitution effect when own price changes holding …………………… constant Hicksian (Compensated) Demand shows Hick substitution effect when own price changes holding ……….. constant 47 Comparison: Hick and Slutsky Substitution Effects when own price falls x2 ……….. budget constraint x2 x2 x1 ……… budgetx constraint 1 S xH 1 x 1 …… Substitution ……….
