Slide 3
Consumer Behavior
Two applications that illustrate the importance
of the economic theory of consumer behavior
are:
Apple-Cinnamon
The
Cheerios
Food Stamp Program.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 4
Consumer Behavior
General Mills had to determine how high a
price to charge for Apple-Cinnamon
Cheerios before it went to the market.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 5
Consumer Behavior
When the food stamp program was
established in the early 1960s, the designers
had to determine to what extent the food
stamps would provide people with more food
and not just simply subsidize the food they
would have bought anyway.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 6
Consumer Behavior
These two problems require an
understanding of the economic theory of
consumer behavior.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 7
Consumer Behavior
There are three steps involved in the study of
consumer behavior.
We will study consumer preferences.
1)
To describe how and why people prefer one
good to another.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 8

There are three steps involved in the study of
consumer behavior.
Then we will turn to budget
constraints.
2)
People have limited incomes.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 9
Consumer Behavior
There are three steps involved in the study of
consumer behavior.
3)
Finally, we will combine consumer
preferences and budget
constraints to determine consumer choices.
What combination of goods will consumers buy
to maximize their satisfaction?

Baskets
A market basket is a collection of one or
more commodities.
One market basket may be preferred over
another market basket containing a different
combination of goods.

Maps
An indifference map is a set of indifference
curves that describes a person’s
preferences for all combinations of two
commodities.
Each
indifference curve in the map shows the
market baskets among which the person is
indifferent.

Consumer Preferences
Ordinal Versus Cardinal Utility
Ordinal
Utility Function: places market baskets in
the order of most preferred to least preferred,
but it does not indicate how much one market
basket is preferred to another.
Cardinal
Utility Function: utility function describing
the extent to which one market basket is preferred
to another.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 46
Consumer Preferences
Ordinal Versus Cardinal Rankings
The
actual unit of measurement for utility is not
important.
Therefore,
an ordinal ranking is sufficient to
explain how most individual decisions are made.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 47
Budget Constraints
Preferences do not explain all of consumer
behavior.
Budget constraints also limit an individual’s
ability to consume in light of the prices they
must pay for various goods and services.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 48
Budget Constraints
The Budget Line
The
budget line indicates all combinations of two
commodities for which total money spent equals
total income.

Slide 49
Budget Constraints
The Budget Line
Let
F equal the amount of food purchased, and
C is the amount of clothing.
Price
of food = Pf and price of
clothing =
Pc
Pf F is the amount of money spent on
food, and Pc C is the amount of money spent on
clothing.
Then

Budget Constraints
The Budget Line
As
consumption moves along a budget line from
the intercept, the consumer spends less on one
item and more on the other.
The
slope of the line measures the relative cost
of food and clothing.
The
slope is the negative of the ratio of the prices
of the two goods.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 54
Budget Constraints
The Budget Line
The
slope indicates the rate at which the two
goods can be substituted without changing the
amount of money spent.

The
vertical intercept (I/PC), illustrates the

Marginal Utility and the Indifference Curve

Summary
People behave rationally in an attempt to
maximize satisfaction from a particular
combination of goods and services.
Consumer choice has two related parts: the
consumer’s preferences and the budget line.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 140
Summary
Consumers make choices by comparing
market baskets or bundles of commodities.
Indifference curves are downward sloping
and cannot intersect one another.
Consumer preferences can be completely
described by an indifference map.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 141
Summary
The marginal rate of substitution of F for C
is the maximum amount of C that a person is
willing to give up to obtain one additional unit of
F.
Budget lines represent all combinations of
goods for which consumers expend all their
income.
Chapter 3: Consumer Behavior
Slide 142
Summary
Consumers maximize satisfaction subject to
budget constraints.
The theory of revealed preference shows
how the choices that individuals make when
prices and income vary can be used to
determine their preferences.
