Introduction to Indifference Curves and Budget Lines Economics

[@randev1988]

Wow! This is one of the easiest to follow lectures that I have ever listened to! I had real trouble understanding this material and spent nearly 5 hours trying to learn this stuff & you explained it and made me understand it in 10 minutes. You are an excellent teacher! Please keep up the good work.

[@sanahusain5235]

at 1:29, I think the correct term would be diminishing marginal utility, whereby consuming more and more beef you start enjoying it less and less.

I don't often comment on videos, but yours are the best. Thanks!!

[@asunabest582]

Only a Genius can make an intimidating lesson into something understandable and easier to grasp. Thank u so much.

[@LMW-ms7dw]

This video series really helps me. Perfectly described. My lecturer's explanation had no sense at all. This is really helpful. Thanks a lot

[@muhammadakhlaq3606]

i am really thank youful to economicfun teacher by the help of your vido i got 4 CGPA thank very much my dear sir respected sir

[@rebekahndanu1293]

Best online tutor you really made things easier for me 👍👍👍

[@ZungRing]

You are the best economic lecturer! Thanks a lot for taking time to do this amazing graphic work and share it. You are born to teach!!!!

[@economicsfun]

Well that is great to hear and I appreciate the feedback. International econ can be a difficult class for sure. I do have a few other videos on International Econ to. KZbin does not allow me to post links... so you can see the videos on my channel economicsfun. "Single Country Gain From Trade - International Economics" "An introduction to Edgeworth Box Diagram" good luck in your class too!

[@user-gi8fs6xl5o]

I have been following you for the last 4 years,your way of explanation is way better than my teacher.Btw why you are not making videos?

[@randev1988]

Yes, Sir! I am going through the entire playlist on Consumer Theory. In one of the videos you said, "study less and party hard." Because of your videos, I now know the material and can party hard! (Many of the other micro topics that you have posted will be covered in class, so I plan on watching them as well). Thank you for taking the time to making these excellent videos.

[@economicsfun]

I just added a link to a playlist that includes budget lines. It would be the fourth video in the playlist. Make sure you like MyBookSucks on FaceBook (see link in video description). This will help others find the educational videos.

10 years later.....NA is gripped by a polar assault and I love the sounds of the birds chirping in the background.....the lesson is very good too. Thanks

[@yamax1]

This is so clear . Many thanks. My microeconomics exam will be in June. Great job !!!!Keep it up.

[@mikooou]

You sir are making an insane amount of sense.

[@economicsfun]

Good to hear. I have been updating and improving my videos on Consumer Theory and I have an entire playlist on it too (see link in video description).

[@Black182heart]

REQUEST REQUEST ..can u please do a video on decomposition of price effect into income effect and substitution effect for normal.inferior and giffen goods

[@swedilli]

Extremely good job! Excellent!!! Wow, i really love your videos! I'm starting with an International Business program and i'm totally lost sometimes, you explain sooooo good, i wish i could have you as my teacher!! I have a microeconomics exam tomorrow, i hope i pass, i'm gonna watch all of your videos now. Oh I have to tell you, with this video i got extremely hungry hahaha

[@sungaethinley]

Thank you so much for your video. It is really helpful. Your voice is so soothing to hear. Appreciated Sir. Keep up. From Bhutan.

Wow! You have very good ears. I often leave the back door of my office open and that is the sounds of nature in my yard.

[@sheilawidjaja7331]

Thank you so much for your videos. It is very easy to understand. You have made it easier to understand from the illustrations and enactment of your diagrams. Please keep posting. I'll be requiring more of your videos throughout my university years. :)

[@laycat]

really helpful, explain even more better than my professor

[@economicsfun]

Thanks for the feedback. Make sure you check out the playlists on economicsfun too. The formula for total utility is the sum of all the goods and activities you consume or participate in. Often in economics it is written as U = f(X,Y).... where Utility is a function of consuming combinations of x and y. This is very simplified! The point is there is always a trade off when trying to pursue utility (happiness).

[@economicsfun]

Good to hear and good luck in your classes too. I have often thought that economics lends itself to animations.

[@nidaali1637]

Sir first you mentioned the slope of the budget line as rise over run (py/px) then (px/py). This is the confusion I face while considering the slope like which one is to consider. Your reply is much awaited, thanks for the lovely video though.

[@economicsfun]

great question and yes all the values with the same utility would be on the same curve. The way most textbooks put it is utility is constant along a indifference curve. I need to point out that all the values with same utility when I revise this video.

[@MrHyde_evol]

great video you made the information very easy to digest and then made the correlations

[@gopalthapa2677]

Thank you very much. It helped to maximized my study satisfaction.

[@folklore2]

Really good video (especially liked the flame and sparkle reveals for steak and potatos :P), very informative. One improvement, could you include the link to the next lesson/video in the comments or as an annotation at the end of the video?

[@economicsfun]

Thank you very much. Very cool Avatar you have for yourself. The official tag line is "Party More Study Less" but in your case it could be "Lift More Study Less." Good luck in your classes too.

[@cherieminn2673]

Dear Teacher David you're so good in explaining the fundamental of a subject in a very clear manner...i wish you can make Calculusfun series ❤️🤗💯🎈

[@klhmia]

Great video, everything is much clearer now. However, there is one point that you make which I'm curious; "Utility is a *function* of consumption" - I would argue that Utility be a *derivative* much moreover a function... seeing as how a function is defined as a role or purpose in something (noun), rather than the received happiness or satisfaction as you and I would describe from the consumption (ie; eating a steak). Thank you for the video!

[@dharamveergaud2653]

it's a good way to get economics easily.

Thank you for helping me understand these concepts. My professor is terrible.

[@babymadelynn]

Great presentation! What program did you use for this? It helped me understand budget lines a lot more than how my professor explained it. Thanks!!

[@DashCamsMTL]

Really and truly helpful. Best regards.

[@economicsfun]

You will have two equations 36 = (x+2)(y+1) and 11 = xPx + yQy ; the question is do these two lines intersect. Since the price of x (Px) and the price of y (Py) both are 1, the equation becomes 11 = x + y. Now graph these two equations.

[@edlynemurono4983]

So helpful, it has really helped me,thanks alot

[@economicsfun]

@mjmfoodie Do you prefer beans or steak? OR Chicken. And how much steak would you be willing to give up to get some potato.

[@dakotarobb8264]

at 8.00 when you find the slope of the line, why does it equal to -1/2 not -2. isn't it supposed to be the change in Y over X (Y/X)?

[@freerider3842]

If we base the changes in Y and X to the origin, the change in Y is 100 units while the change in X is 200 units. So change in Y over change in X is 1/2 but due to the fact that the line is sloping downwards, we then have the slope as negative. (Or, we can also have (0-100)/(200-0) = -1/2)

[@freerider3842]

My bad, i replied to a comment 3 years ago haha...I supposed you were able to figure the answer to your question a long time ago already. Peace.

[@AsgharKhan-fd1ul]

thank you for your untiring efforts. The budget line also shifts if the price of both the goods changes simultaneously, please correct me if i am wrong. Thank u

[@prosperityvictoria6010]

Great video ! Very comprehensive Can you share with me what software you use and how you do the videos?

[@economicsfun]

Prosperity Victoria I use a lot of different software including adobe flash, illustrator, final cut, garage band and a few others. Each minute of video takes about 8 hours to put together.

[@mjmfoodie]

Um - may I point out that "More is preferred to less" and "Diminishing MU" are not one and the same, and that in fact the Law of Diminishing MU leads to a direct contradiction of the "More is preferred to less" assumption, unless you specify that you need to rule out MU

[@adusumallivenkateswararao5368]

I am in the process of updating my economics channel. If there are topics you would like to see covered, that you need for your june exam, then please let me know.

[@ohemgeexoxo]

amazing! thank you for breaking that down. it all makes sense now.

[@johng1907]

Thank you very much for the awesome lecture Sir, but the thing that I still don't get is how you construct an indifference curve. Because the optimum consumption bundle is where the Indifference Curve=Budge Constraint, right? And of course, the Budget Constraint is the representation of all the bundles we can get with our Income, right?. So how about the Indifference Curve, where is it derived from? And how can we measure how much utility we get from consuming a bundle?

[@economicsfun]

@ItsGJPA appreciate the positive feedback.

[@lionboy3928]

what is your website called please because i want the second part to the "introduction to indifference curves and budget lines economics" video. the first one was great btw!! but please direct me to number two ... thanks

Question, does all the values with same utility value lie on the same indifference curve on the graph? I'm little confused, thanks.

Thanks! The ones production theory and cost theory are better (at least I think so).
