The overall effect of the price change is that the consumer now chooses the consumption bundle at point C. But the move from A to C can be decomposed into two parts. The substitution effect is the change that would occur if the consumer were required to remain on the original indifference curve; this is the move from A to B. The income effect ...

Otherwise stated, producers will be willing to supply more wheat at every price and this shifts the supply curve S 1 outward, to S 2 —an increase ...
