  • I can understand when theoretical concepts are used to predict output in machines, products etc. But with what confidence can we use theory to predict human behaviour? How good are these theories in the real world when dealing with real human beings as human action is determined by innumerable factors?

  • @twelvekeys

    For example, diminishing marginal returns works with love too. If you spend too much time with a loved one you appreciate them less and it turns out that absence does make the heart grow fonder.

  • @twelvekeys One more thing... it is one of my goals to create animations and deal with a lot of the "economics of life issues."

  • i love it ...

    very very very nice video ....thnx a lot for uploading

  • How do we know that the indifference curve will meet the budget constraint at 14y and 3x ?

  • Great job. And no distracting music. Thanks.

  • thank you so much. it helps me to understand before starting on my homework assignment . (:

  • What i don't understand is why should i reduce income when the price was down to put the agent on the previous indifference curve? because their level of utility grew due to increase in real income through decrease in price, and the shift od the curve seems logical...

  • @besionishe that's only hypothetical.. the least point is the one you create first.. and that one is on a higher indifference curve.. to force them back is only HYPOTHETICAL, because you want it to devide into 2 steps.. step 1.. you stay on your indiffernce curve and you want to see how a price change drops on the rate of the different goods... in step 2 you show describe the effect that you can buy more/less because the price is changing.. in this case it would be a superior good ;)

  • I can't help it, I don'r understand it( i'm not stupid or anything, but that just does not make sense in my mind, i have watched a lot of videos and read a lot. i just don't get it :( what is frustrating, is that i have never known myself as stupid.

    And it all started with trying to understand giffen paradox...

  • @besionishe i also!

  • i just watched this video as a last-resort attempt to fully understanding the different effects of the income and substitution effects on consumption, as represented graphically. it is 6:37 AM. my test is at 9:35 AM. thank you.

  • does the indif curve have to all be the same slope?

  • @kkuwa13 yes.. indifference curves are different curves of your utilityfunction with different constants

  • @kkuwa13 , yes. It also should always be parallel , not intersect, and not sloping upwards.(excluding special cases).

  • You explain it so much better than my prof!

    Thanks
