Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Giffen good is a product that people consume more of as the price rises, violating the basic law of demand in economics. This typically occurs because the good is an inferior good and the income effect of a price increase (leading to more consumption of the good because it becomes a larger part of the consumer's budget) outweighs the substitution effect (which would normally lead to less consumption as the price rises).
