1 제 4 장소비자행동이론 The Theory of Consumer Behavior
2 소비자행동 Consumer Behavior Consumer Preferences 소비자선호 The goods and services consumers actually consume. Given the choice between 2 bundles of goods a consumer either Prefers bundle A to bundle B: A f B. Prefers bundle B to bundle A: A p B. Is indifferent between the two: A B.
3 무차별곡선이론 Indifference Curve Analysis Indifference Curve A curve that defines the combinations of 2 or more goods that give a consumer the same level of satisfaction. Good Y I. II. III. Marginal Rate of Substitution 한계대체율 The rate at which a consumer is willing to substitute one good for another and maintain the same satisfaction level. Good X
4 소비자선호체계의일반적특성 Consumer Preference Ordering Properties Completeness ( 완비성 ) More is Better ( 단조성, 다다익선 ) Diminishing Marginal Rate of Substitution ( 한계대체율의체감 ) Transitivity ( 이행성 )
5 Complete Preferences Completeness Property Consumer is capable of expressing preferences (or indifference) between all possible bundles. ( I don t know is NOT an option!) If the only bundles available to a consumer are A, B, and C, then the consumer Good Y I. A II. III. B is indifferent between A and C (they are on the same indifference curve). C will prefer B to A. will prefer B to C. Good X
6 More Is Better! More Is Better Property Bundles that have at least as much of every good and more of some good are preferred to other bundles. Bundle B is preferred to A since B contains at least as much of good Y and strictly more of good X. Bundle B is also preferred to C since B contains at least as much of good X and strictly more of good Y. More generally, all bundles on IC III are preferred to bundles on IC II or IC I. And all bundles on IC II are preferred to IC I. Good Y I A 1 II. III. B C 3 Good X
7 Diminishing Marginal Rate of Substitution Marginal Rate of Substitution The amount of good Y the consumer is willing to give up to maintain the same satisfaction level decreases as more of good X is acquired. The rate at which a consumer is willing to substitute one good for another and maintain the same satisfaction level. To go from consumption bundle A to B the consumer must give up 50 units of Y to get one additional unit of X. To go from consumption bundle B to C the consumer must give up units of Y to get one additional unit of X. To go from consumption bundle C to D the consumer must give up only 8.33 units of Y to get one additional unit of X. Good Y I. A II. B III. C D Good X
8 Consistent Bundle Orderings Transitivity Property For the three bundles A, B, and C, the transitivity property implies that if C f B and B f A, then C f A. Transitive preferences along with the more-is-better property imply that indifference curves will not intersect. Good Y I A II. III. B C the consumer will not get caught in a perpetual cycle of indecision Good X
9 Opportunity Set 예산제약 The Budget Constraint The set of consumption bundles that are affordable. P x X + P y Y M. Budget Line The bundles of goods that exhaust a consumers income. P x X + P y Y = M. Market Rate of Substitution The slope of the budget line -P x / P y M/P Y Y The Opportunity Set Budget Line Y = M/P Y (P X /P Y )X M/P X X
10 Changes in Income Increases lead to a parallel, outward shift in the budget line (M 1 > M 0 ). Decreases lead to a parallel, downward shift (M 2 < M 0 ). Changes in Price 예산선의변화 Changes in the Budget Line A decreases in the price of good X rotates the budget line counter-clockwise (P X0 > P X1 ). An increases rotates the budget line clockwise (not shown). Y M 1 /P Y M 0 /P Y M 2 /P Y Y M 0 /P Y M 2 /P X M 0 /P X New Budget Line for a price decrease. M 0 /P X0 M 1 /P X M 0 /P X1 X X
11 The equilibrium consumption bundle is the affordable bundle that yields the highest level of satisfaction. Consumer equilibrium occurs at a point where MRS = P X / P Y. Equivalently, the slope of the indifference curve 소비자의균형 Consumer Equilibrium equals the budget line. I. Y M/P Y Consumer Equilibrium III. II. M/P X X
12 가격변화와소비자균형 Price Changes and Consumer Equilibrium Substitute Goods 대체재 An increase (decrease) in the price of good X leads to an increase (decrease) in the consumption of good Y. Examples: Coke and Pepsi. KT and SKT or LGT. Complementary Goods 보완재 An increase (decrease) in the price of good X leads to a decrease (increase) in the consumption of good Y. Examples: Cars and Gasoline/ Diesel. Digital Camera and Memory card.
13 Complementary Goods When the price of good X falls and the consumption of Y rises, then X and Y are complementary goods. (P X1 > P X2 ) Pretzels (Y) M/P Y1 B Y 2 Y 1 A II 0 X 1 M/P X1 X 2 I M/P X2 Beer (X)
14 소득의변화와소비자균형 Income Changes and Consumer Equilibrium Normal Goods 정상재 Good X is a normal good if an increase (decrease) in income leads to an increase (decrease) in its consumption. Most of commodities Inferior Goods 열등재 Good X is an inferior good if an increase (decrease) in income leads to a decrease (increase) in its consumption. Some items welcomed in the time of economic downturns (mainly low quality products)
15 Normal Goods An increase in income increases the consumption of normal goods. Y M 1 /Y (M 0 < M 1 ). B Y 1 M 0 /Y A II Y 0 I 0 X 0 M 0 /X X 1 M 1 /X X
16 Decomposing the Income and Substitution Effects Initially, bundle A is consumed. A decrease in the price of good X expands the consumer s opportunity set. Y The substitution effect (SE) causes the consumer to move from bundle A to B. A C II A higher real income allows the consumer to achieve a higher indifference curve. B I The movement from bundle B to C represents the income effect (IE). The new equilibrium is achieved at point C. 0 IE SE X
17 개별수요곡선 Individual Demand Curve Y An individual s demand curve is derived from each new equilibrium point found on the indifference curve as the price of good X is varied. $ P 0 P 1 D I II X X 0 X 1 X
18 시장수요곡선 Market Demand The market demand curve is the horizontal summation of individual demand curves. It indicates the total quantity all consumers would purchase at each price point. $ Individual Demand $ Curves 50 Market Demand Curve 40 D 1 D Q D M Q
