What is the concept of an inferior good in economics and how does it impact consumer behavior and market dynamics?

An inferior good in economics is a product that people buy less of when their income increases. This is because as people become wealthier, they tend to prefer higher-quality goods and services. The impact of inferior goods on consumer behavior is that they are seen as less desirable as income rises. This can lead to shifts in demand and can affect market dynamics by influencing the prices and quantities of goods and services being bought and sold.


What are the effects of consuming normal goods over inferior goods?

Consuming quality good have a deleterious effect on the world economy. (or at least on the expansionary model we work with at present) Mass producers of poor quality products stimulate production because more of the same things need to be produced to replace the exiting equipment as it wears or breaks down. It seems that for the time being this in turn creates employment and wealth. However because inferior goods end up being disposed of sooner there is a much bigger drain on existing resources and an increase in the energy required as well as more pressure on the system that disposes of waste product safely. So it would seem that the consumption of inferior goods is aimed at increasing the wealth of a very slim group of manufacturers and retailers at the expense of society at large and that it will lead to shortages that will eventually create a massive chasm between the haves and the have not's of society.


Why would demand curve slope upward?

The Law of Demand states that price and quantity demanded are inversely related. This means that for a normal good, the demand curve slopes downward. A demand curve might slope upward in the event that instead of being a normal good, we could be witnessing a so-called Giffen good. The existence of Giffen goods is debatable, but in theory they can be shown to be possible. The rationale for the upward sloping demand curve is due to the real income effect on a basket of goods when one (or some) of the goods exhibits a price reduction. Under normal conditions, the reduction in price would allow you to purchase more of that good. However, if this is a Giffen good, the consumer will consume less of it in order to purchase more of another good. This is not to be confused with an inferior good, for which a reduction in price leading to an increase in purchasing power results in substituting an inferior good (hamburger) in favour of a normal good (steak). This causes a shift in the demand curve. For Giffen goods, no close substitute would cause the consumer to spend less on the cheaper good in order to purchase more of a non-substitute good, say, pencils wherein the cost of rice is reduced.

Is it normal for your wife to inform you of everything wrong with you?

It may be normal for her, but it's not usual. Have you done something to upset her? At least in her mind. She may be trying to remake you in her image or wants you to feel inferior to her because of her own feelings of being inferior. She may just be mean spirited and wanting to spread the misery. Tell her how you feel about it, how you see what is going on and see if she is willing to discuss it.
