Giffen good
A Giffen good is an inferior good for which a rise in its price makes people buy even more of the product as a consequence of the income effect. Evidence for the existence of Giffen goods is limited, but there is an economic model that explains how such a thing could exist. Giffen goods are named after Sir Robert Giffen, who was attributed as the author of this idea by Alfred Marshall in his book Principles of Economics.
