The Giffen Paradox refers to a counterintuitive economic phenomenon where an increase in the price of a good leads to an increase in its quantity demanded, defying the basic law of demand.
What is macroeconomic stability and how does it depend on inflation? Explain thoroughly, using the concepts of income and substitution effects, what a Giffen good is and what happens to purchases of it if its price falls. Why does this happen?

The substitution effect is the decrease in sales for a product that can be attributed to consumers switching to cheaper alternatives when its price rises. When the price of a product or service increases but the buyer's income stays the same, the substitution effect generally kicks in. ...
we can describe a marketdemand curve, which is always sloping downward, like the one shown in the chart below. Each point on the curve (A, B, C) reflects the quantity demanded (Q) at a given price (P). At point A, for example, the quantity demanded is low (Q1) and ...
