If the income effect for an inferior good is sufficiently strong, the consumer will buy less of the good when it becomes less expensive, a Giffen good ( commonly believed to be a rarity ).

Other hosts were Brad Giffen ( until 1988 ), Lance Chilton ( 1988 – 90 ) and JD Roberts also filled in for John Majhor from time to time.

* The phrase, as noted by Robert Giffen in 1892, was a variation on a phrase about three types of unreliable witnesses, a liar, a damned liar, and an expert ( Economic Journal 2 ( 6 ) ( 1892 ), 209-238, first paragraph ; the paper was previously read at a meeting of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science at Hobart in January 1892 ).

Evidence for the existence of Giffen goods is limited, but microeconomic mathematical models explain how such a thing could exist.

In order to be a true Giffen good, price must be the only thing that changes to get a change in quantity demand, and a Giffen good should not be confused with products bought as status symbols or for conspicuous consumption ( such a situation would indicate a Veblen good ).

Giffen goods are also related to experience goods and credence goods in that the two often exhibit increases in demand with price, yet are different in that close substitutes are available for the latter types.

Evidence for the existence of Giffen goods has generally been limited.

A further 2007 working paper by the same authors ( now published in the September 2008 issue of American Economic Review ) experimentally demonstrated the existence of Giffen goods among humans at the household level by directly subsidizing purchases of rice and wheat flour for extremely poor families.

In 1991, Battalio, Kagel, and Kogut proved that quinine water is a Giffen good for some lab rats.

Giffen goods are difficult to find because a number of conditions must be satisfied for the associated behavior to be observed.

One reason for the difficulty in finding Giffen goods is Giffen originally envisioned a specific situation faced by individuals in a state of poverty.

It is for this reason that many text books use the term Giffen paradox rather than Giffen good.

After an initial rejection, which he attributed to a `` general Excitement against Abolition and Emancipation '', Giffen bribed the right individuals on the jury, and got the permission without further delay.

In 1899, he scored 1, 183 runs making him one of only four Australians, with George Giffen, Warwick Armstrong ( both three times ) and Jack Gregory, to take over 100 wickets and make over 1, 000 runs on a tour of England.

Giffen made only 60 runs for in the Tests and took only four wickets.

The suggestion that Giffen hire out the slaves was not realistic, since no planter would take the risk of having Negroes who knew they were to be free living with his own slaves.

In March there was a division of the slaves, and Giffen carried out his instructions as nearly as possible.

Of the fifty-two slaves, Giffen succeeded in getting a lot of twenty, twelve of whom were females.

All Giffen goods are inferior goods but not all inferior goods are Giffen goods.

Having previously insisted on absolute radio silence, Giffen gave no orders about what to do about the unidentified contacts, or any orders at all, for that matter.

Two different hypothetical types of goods with upward-sloping demand curves are Giffen goods ( an inferior but staple good ) and Veblen goods ( goods made more fashionable by a higher price ).

In economics and consumer theory, a Giffen good is one which people paradoxically consume more of as the price rises, violating the law of demand.

In the Giffen good situation, the income effect dominates, leading people to buy more of the good, even as its price rises.

: As Mr. Giffen has pointed out, a rise in the price of bread makes so large a drain on the resources of the poorer labouring families and raises so much the marginal utility of money to them, that they are forced to curtail their consumption of meat and the more expensive farinaceous foods: and, bread being still the cheapest food which they can get and will take, they consume more, and not less of it.
