  • What are consumption bundles?

    Best combination of the goods
  • What does reflexive axiom mean?

    Any bundle is atleast as good as itself:
    (x1,x2)⪰(x1,x2)
  • What does transitive axiom mean?

    If (x1,x2)⪰(y1,y2) and (y1,y2)⪰(z1,z2) then (x1,x2)⪰(z1,z2)

    (X⪰Y and Y⪰Z then X⪰Z)
  • Describe indifference curves

    Curve of set of bundles all indifferent to eachother
    Can never intersect with other indifference curves
  • What is a perfect substitute?

    Consumer is willing to subsitute a good at a constant rate:
    x1+x2=20

    Indifference curve always has a constant slope.
  • What are bads and describe their indifference curves.

    A good that is disliked(x1) and needs compensating with another good (x2). Slope is upward
  • What are neutrals and describe their indifference curves.

    Neutrals are goods which the consumer doesnt care about. The indifference curve is a straight horizontal/vertical line.
  • What is a satiation/bliss point? Describe the indifference curves.

    Point where x1 and x2 are both optimal. The indifference curves circle around this point.
  • What are discrete goods?

    Goods only available in integer amounts.
  • What are features of well-behaved indifference curves?

    Monoticity: bundles with more are preferred over less (negative slope)
    Convex set: averages are preferred over extremes
    - strict convexity: average of two indifferent bundles is preferred over two extreme bundles
