Solution

The correct answers to this question are:

  • "Works in the same direction as the substitution effect for normal goods." This is because when the price of a good decreases, the consumer's purchasing power increases, allowing them to buy more of the good (income effect). At the same time, the lower price makes the good more attractive compared to other goods (substitution effect). Both effects work in the same direction to increase the demand for the good.

  • "Refers to the change in the demand for a good caused by a change in a consumer's purchasing power." The income effect is indeed the change in demand for a good resulting from a change in the consumer's real income (purchasing power). When the price of a good decreases, the consumer's real income increases, and they can buy more of the good. Conversely, when the price of a good increases, the consumer's real income decreases, and they can buy less of the good.

The other options are incorrect:

  • "Only works in conjunction with the law of diminishing marginal utility." This is not necessarily true. The income effect can occur independently of whether the law of diminishing marginal utility applies. The income effect is about how changes in price affect a consumer's real income and demand for a good, not about how additional consumption of a good provides less additional utility.

  • "Is the same as the substitution effect." This is not true. The income effect and the substitution effect are two separate concepts. The income effect is about how changes in price affect a consumer's real income and demand for a good, while the substitution effect is about how changes in price make a good more or less attractive compared to other goods.

  • "Works in the same direction as the substitution effect for inferior goods." This is not true. For inferior goods, the income effect and the substitution effect work in opposite directions. When the price of an inferior good decreases, the consumer's real income increases, which might lead them to buy less of the inferior good (income effect). But at the same time, the lower price makes the inferior good more attractive compared to other goods (substitution effect), which might lead them to buy more of it. The overall effect on demand depends on which effect is stronger.
