What are the difference between giffen good and inferior good with 3 examples?

All Giffen goods are inferior goods. But not all inferior goods are Giffen goods. For inferior goods, the negative substitution effect will more than offset the positive income effect, so that total price effect will be negative. For Giffen goods, the positive income is positive and very strong that the law of demand does not hold. Price elasticity of Giffen good is positive. Inferior Goods: Cheap goods Giffen Goods: Rice, wheat, noodles are Giffen goods in China

Why engel curve slopes negatively downward in case of giffen goods?

The Engel curve shows how household expenditure on goods changes with rising income. Giffen goods are inferior goods. As household income rises, instead of consuming more of the Giffen goods, expenditure is switched to better quality goods. Consequently, the demand for a Giffen good falls as income rises and this results in a downward sloping curve. Incidentally, a curve that slopes "negatively downward" is actually a curve that slopes positively upwards!

All giffen goods are Inferior good but not all inferior goods are giffen goods. explain?

Proof that all Giffen goods are inferior goods but not all inferior goods are Giffen goods. A Giffen good is defined as dx/dp > 0 (i.e. quantity demanded increases with own-price). An inferior good is defined as dx/dm < 0 (i.e. quantity demanded decreases with income). The own-price Slutsky equation tells that: dx/dp = dh/dp - x(dx/dm) (own-price elasticity of demand = substitution effect - income effect), where h is the Hicksian demand. dh/dp is always negative. If the good is Giffen, then the left hand side of the Slutsky equation is positive. Since dh/dp is negative, then it must be the case that dx/dm is negative (i.e. the good is inferior), since otherwise a positive income effect subtracted from the substitution effect would give a negative result. Therefore, all Giffen goods are inferior goods. Yet, it may be the case that x(dx/dm) is negative, an inferior good, but that the income effect is lesser than the substitution effect, so that the left hand side of the equation remains negative. Thus, not all inferior goods are Giffen.
