Can you define a Giffen good and explain how it differs from other types of goods?
A Giffen good is a type of product that people buy more of as the price increases, contrary to the law of demand. This is because the good is considered a necessity and consumers are willing to sacrifice other goods to afford it. This differs from other goods where demand decreases as price increases, following the law of demand.
