Question
What is the slope of the Engel curve for a Giffen good?
Solution
For a Giffen good, as income increases, the quantity demanded actually decreases because these goods are inferior goods with a strong income effect that outweighs the substitution effect. Therefore, the Engel curve, which shows the relationship between income and the quantity demanded, is negatively sloped for a Giffen good.
