Normal good; an amount
In economics, normal goods are any goods for which demand increases when income increases, i.e. with a positive income elasticity of demand. The term does not necessarily refer to the quality of the good.
Depending on the indifference curves, the amount of a good bought can either increase, decrease, or stay the same when income increases. In the diagram below, good Y is a normal good since the amount purchased increases from Y1 to Y2 as the budget constraint shifts from BC1 to the higher income BC2. Good X is an inferior good since the amount bought decreases from X1 to X2 as income increases.
