Substitution effect and income effect f bread falls, as indicated by the pivoting in budget constraints from BC 1 to BC 2 , Warren buys more bread, increasing his quantity from Q a to Q c . That is the net effect of both the substitution effect and the income effect.
<span>Mental exercise: Part of his response is because of the increase in real income . We remove that effect subtracting some income, while leaving the new lower price in place. That budget constraint shows the reduction in income that moves him back to his original indifference curve.
Notice that we are moving BC 2 inward, parallel to itself until it becomes just tangent to his original indifference curve at point b. The price decrease was a good thing for him. An offsetting bad thing would be an income reduction. If the income reduction is just sufficient to leave him no better or morse than before the price change, we have removed the real income effect of the decrease in price.
What’s left of his response must be due to the substitution effect . So, we say that the substitution effect is shown by the move from point a to point b.
