SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the discrepancies observed between Hicksian and Slutsky decomposition methods in the context of a negative price change for commodity X. The Slutsky decomposition indicates that commodity X is normal, while the Hicksian decomposition suggests it is inferior. The user seeks clarification on whether their graph is accurate and how to interpret these conflicting results effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Hicksian and Slutsky decomposition methods
  • Familiarity with consumer choice theory
  • Knowledge of normal and inferior goods
  • Ability to interpret economic graphs and data
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Hicksian versus Slutsky decomposition in consumer theory
  • Study the characteristics of normal and inferior goods in economic contexts
  • Examine case studies involving negative price changes and their effects on consumer behavior
  • Learn how to accurately graph and interpret economic models
USEFUL FOR

Economics students, researchers in consumer behavior, and professionals analyzing market dynamics will benefit from this discussion.

I have drawn such a graph, but the two different methods of decomposition under a negative price change of commodity X have revealed two different natures of commodity X - the Slutsky decomposition concludes that X is normal, while the Hicksian decomposition yields the opposite conclusion. Is there anything that I have done wrong, or if my graph is fine, what would be the correct interpretation of it?

Thanks a lot for helping.
