   Engel's finding that there is an inverse relationship between the consumption of certain commodities and income provided an important foundation for the modern theory of consumer behavior, in which goods may be classified according to whether they are superior (normal), inferior, or "Giffin" goods.

   Jun 8, 2019 · An Engel curve is a graph which shows the relationship between demand for a good (on x-axis) and income level (on y-axis). If the slope of curve is positive, the good is a normal good but if it is negative, the good is an inferior good.

   How does Engel curve show if a good is a normal good?

   • This is how an Engel curve shows whether a good is a normal good or inferior good. Since in case of a normal good, quantity demand increases with increase in income, it causes the Engel curve to have a positive slope. On the other hand, in case of an inferior good, the Engel curve has negative slope.

   What are the two types of Engel curves?

   • Engel curves can represent two types of goods: normal goods and inferior goods. A normal good’s demand increases as income increases, represented by an upward-sloping Engel curve. In contrast, an inferior good’s demand decreases as income increases, depicted by a downward-sloping Engel curve at certain income levels.

   Why is a normal good's Engel curve positively sloped?

   • Therefore a normal good’s Engel curve is positively sloped. A good for which quantity demanded falls as income increases is called income inferior. Therefore an income inferior good’s Engel curve is negatively sloped. A good is called ordinary if the quantity demanded of it always increases as its own price decreases.

   Which axes does a good's Engel curve intersect?

   • Each curve intersects both axes. good for which quantity demanded rises with income is called normal. Therefore a normal good’s Engel curve is positively sloped. A good for which quantity demanded falls as income increases is called income inferior. Therefore an income inferior good’s Engel curve is negatively sloped.

   What if Engel curve has negative slope?

   • On the other hand, in case of an inferior good, the Engel curve has negative slope. Engel curves are also related to the income elasticity of demand: where the income elasticity of demand is positive, Engel curves slope upwards and where the income elasticity of demand is negative, Engel curve slopes downwards.

   An Engel curve describes how a consumer’s purchases of a good like food varies as the consumer’s total resources such as income or total expenditures vary. Engel curves may also depend on demographic variables and other consumer characteristics.
