    * '''[[w:Normal good]]s''' are any goods for which demand increases when income increases and falls when income decreases but price remains constant, i.e. with a positive [[w:income elasticity of demand]]. ( Wikipedia ) vs. an '''[[w:inferior good]]''' is a good that decreases in demand when consumer income rises, unlike normal goods, for which the opposite is observed. ( Wikipedia )
