indifferent
The negative of the slope of an indifference curve; it
measures the rate at which the consumer is willing to
trade one good for the other
When the marginal rate of substitution falls as we move
down along an indifference curve
The entire collection of indifference curves
Goods that can be substituted for each other at a
constant rate, that is, that have a constant marginal rate
of substitution
Goods that have to be consumed in fixed proportions
The total satisfaction, sometimes given by a numerical
score, of consuming a particular commodity bundle
A formula showing the total utility associated with each
commodity bundle
A utility function allowing the ranking of bundles by their
amount of utility, but not precise comparisons of how
various bundles are valued relative to each other
The values of the utility function tell us exactly how
much better some commodity bundles are than other
bundles
A consumer whose price per unit of a commodity is not
affected by the number of units purchased
The representation of the bundles among which a
consumer may choose, given her income and the price
she faces
The collection of bundles satisfying the budget constraint
An equilibrium bundle that contains some amount of
each good
An equilibrium bundle in which the consumption of some
commodity is zero
The change in total utility associated with consumption
of one addition unit of a good
The process of comparing two equilibria
The set of commodity bundles traced out as the price of
a commodity varies, ceteris paribus
The impact of a change in the price of one good on the
quantity demanded of another
Two goods that satisfy similar wants. An increase in the
price of one good leads to an increase in quantity
demanded of a substitute, ceteris paribus
Two goods that tend to be used together. An increase in
the price of one good leads to a decrease in the quantity
demanded of a complement, ceteris paribus
An increase in the price of one good has no impact on
the quantity demanded of the other, ceteris paribus
