I've been using Khan Academy since High School. Now I'm a Grad student (master's), and I keep coming back every time I need to study for my exams. Thank you for simplifying everything for us throughout these years, Sal!

Q. Why do Yugos come with heated rear windows? A. To keep your hands warm while you're pushing them.

[@Mladjasmilic]

It isn't so bad . My family has one since '88 . It was bought my grandfather when my father pased his driving exam, I grew up with it . It survived bad Romanian gaosline during war (half gasoline , half kiwi die with wather ; gasoline die here is green) . Now I drive it , it is god car to have fun in , it goes off-road during picnics . 4 people can carry it around . And parts are found everywhere . Best of all , it has room for Ford Mondeo V6 .

[@sifuerasmia.]

Big help! Thanks much.

[@ZacharySmith89]

@asdfgoogle With all due respect, he implied what you said. He said that the Yugo was an example of an "inferior good", which means that people would purchase it only if they could not afford something better: a "normal good". So, people would question, "A $500 car? Yeah right. What's wrong with it?" but would still buy it if they couldn't afford better. However, if their income went up, per Khan's example, then more people could buy better cars, decreasing the demand/price for Yugos.

[@Ankit-ev5qj]

Very Helpful for my Economic class !

[@nafisameena1784]

Can someone tell me why the relationship between quantity demanded and income exists for normal and inferior goods?

[@GDPWorking]

When income goes down, D decreases and Q increases for inferior goods.

[@yanjan9952]

good expanation thank you

[@piyushsehrawat1379]

@KillerWhaleSFl thats a hell of a point. I didnt think you were looking at it from that perspective.

[@luciusmkandawire8712]

Thank you

[@TuciREAPER]

This is what makes be mad , I study economics but i hate all the assumptions , for example we can assume that the laptop is and inferior good because when income is increased people would by better laptops .Still generally how i understand cheap shit is mostly inferior

[@idiotrun1997]

@goldensilverstar But Khan Academy is not inferior, it's superior!

[@blast2686]

So what’s the difference between a Inferior good and a Griffey good

[@SpinyNormanDinsdale]

Is a computer a good example of a normal good though? I am only asking because I would assume a higher income would beg for a better computer that can do more things. Compare that to a piece of quality furniture which is more "stable" in this regard....?? Forgive my ignorance if this is totally wrong!

[@NurudeenMusah-dn5lo]

[@Exodus1996]

Idk how i managed to be a sub to this channel

[@KoolAidAnd]

So would an automobile that is opposite that of the [Inferior] Ugo, like say a [superior] Pagani Huayra, be considered as a normal good when it's demand is graphed?

[@moosaiqbal7651]

thank you...

[@drahkik]

@superduc99 Just make sure to share these videos with everyone that you know. There is hope.

[@ledmk2]

Nice video

[@ZacharySmith89]

@asdfgoogle Just like your experience, where I live $500 cars have serious problems 90% of the time (like mine!). Because they tend to have serious problems, they are considered an "inferior good". Because they are an inferior good (with serious problems), most people would NOT buy them. We agree on this. I'm not entirely certain why you replied in argumentative tone, because we seem to agree...um, your insistence on a "bell effect", I think, means that you have defined different parameters...

[@ZacharySmith89]

@asdfgoogle Okay, so I have imagined your bell shape. It was annoying because it was sideways, on the y-axis--I agree with Sal that the x-axis should have been price!--I also understood the cause of your bell shape (it would definitely be skewed right--er, up--usually?). So, I now understand where we differ: I see this video as working on the assumption of the absence of price perception for the sake of simplicity/clarity to focus on the affect of income on the demand/price for inferior goods.

[@ruphunk]

I don't agree with this example. When Income increases people will prefer to buy Notebooks over Laptops or may be even high end Tablets or Smartphones. Giffen's Paradox is much appropraite

[@angi_0974]

i got it n thanx

[@mmmnnn302]

wao nice thanks a lot

[@orcishgreenland5690]

[@RbtV92]

@KillerWhaleSFl but then what would define a normal good? goods would be produced by monopolies because there'd be no need to create another good JUST like it. That'd be a pretty dysfunctional society, dont you think?

[@joephrone]

[@Bojl95]

interesting!

[@saptarshiacharyya1844]

But can we not apply a similar narrative for laptops as well? When income goes up, people would like to purchase a better and more expensive model right?

[@iiovemiku]

and wouldn't the people who couldn't afford the cheapest car in the first place now are able to afford that car when their income goes up, thus replacing the customers that were lost from the income increase?

[@OwOrphanedSRCE]

superior vs. inferior

[@kroovyandcal]

Is crack an inferior good and cocaine a normal good?

[@Kret4en]

+kroovyandcal You are actually quite close, but I think that cocaine is a luxury good

[@RiyadhElalami]

@KoolAidAnd As I understood Yes

[@rockYhre]

A buyer comes comes to car dealership and asks the seller to show him the new model of Yugo. - Here you go, this is the latest Yugo model. Buyer: - Does it have air conditioning? Seller: - Yes, it has air conditioning, abs, power steering, seat heater and a button to open wings with which Yugo flies at higher speeds. Buyer: - You f***ing with me? Seller: - You started.

[@joanwang614]

that's right, when you have more money, you want to own a better car. not the cheapest one.

what grade is this stuff for or is it just an explanation.. im in grade 11 and im afraid this video(s) are not on my level 😂

[@MaureenLycaon]

I think it's not tuned for a certain grade level. It's simply kind of "Economics 101" -- the very basics of economics.

[@wristkiss]

Quantitity lol

[@ZacharySmith89]

@asdfgoogle But I agree that this--or the last video, in which he discussed variables assumed to be held constant--would have been a good time to introduce the concept of price perception and other irrationalities. Who knows, maybe Sal's the type of libertarian who believes in a completely rational market with perfect information, where everyone has the time to research that $500 car to ascertain its true value, without any doubt of misinformation. XD. Or maybe he'll cover it in the next vid...

[@Mackberserk]

What about the people who couldn't afford a car at all and did not consider buying one until their income went up, thus enabling them to afford the cheap car? Seems like there would be no net change.

[@lifesnotstill5003]

The demand curve shows consumers who are BOTH WILLING AND ABLE to buy the good.

[@mydogsuger]

Is your first name shaad?

[@aesutton]

Same applies to laptops tho. You could afford better specs... Their price varies drastically. o.o Inferior good = ramen noodles. Normal good = pepper? idk.

[@YaserSamin]

But the factors here are coming into play. He mentioned there is a better alternative for a better car in the market. So obviously with more income people will want to buy something better. But in case of laptop, it's just think that there is only one kind of choice in the market. With more income people would want to buy the laptop because it's one of a kind. Maybe I am wrong or you are right, but from conceptual sense, I hope I have managed to make some meaning out of my comment :)

[@RbtV92]

@RbtV92 could*

[@RbtV92]

@goldensilverstar i wouldnt mind watching khan even if I sould afford university professors.

[@sephizinho]

I understand the logic, but you could say that you could get a better laptop aswell no?

[@iiiiiiiiiiii90000000]

Did anyone else notice that he wrote Quantitity at 0:37? quan ti ti ty lol

[@goldensilverstar]

An example of Inferiority: Khan Academy An example of Normal: The shitty teachers at my school

[@GuGachina]

Use Public transportation instead of shitty car... If income increases people will prefer to own a car(Shitty or good) over talking public transportation... Easier concept to wrap your head around :)
