LUXURY GOOD FOR WHICH THE DEMAND INCREASES AS THE PRICE INCREASES
Veblen goods; Veblen effect; Veblen Good; Counter-Veblen effect; Veblen effects
A Veblen good is a type of luxury good for which the demand increases as the price increases, in apparent (but not actual) contradiction of the law of demand, resulting in an upward-sloping demand curve. The higher prices of Veblen goods may make them desirable as a status symbol in the practices of conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure.
