Question
========
Which of the following statements about the income elasticity of demand is `r type`? 

Answerlist
----------
* If the income elasticity of demand is positive, the good is said to be a normal good.
* The income elasticity of demand indicates how strongly the demand for a good reacts to a change in income.
* If the income `r dir_change1` by `r ext_change1[1]`% and thus the demand for a good `r dir_change1` by `r ext_change1[2]`%, it is called a luxury good.
* If the income elasticity of demand is negative, one speaks of an inferior good.
* The income elasticity of demand can be positive or negative.
* A Giffen good is a special case of an inferior good where demand `r dir_change2` if the price of the good `r dir_change2`.
* An income elasticity of demand equal to one means that the demand for the good increases proportional to the change in income.

* The income elasticity of demand indicates how strongly the demand for a good responds to a change of the price.
* If the income elasticity of demand is positive, the good is said to be inferior.
* The income elasticity of demand is the same for all goods.
* If the income elasticity of demand is zero, the good is called a luxury good.
* If the income elasticity of demand is greater than one, the good is called a normal good.
* The income elasticity of demand is the same for all consumers.
* The income elasticity of demand is independent of the good's price.
* The income elasticity of demand can range between zero and infinity.
* Giffen goods are luxury goods for which the demand decreases as income increases.
* Common goods are goods that are purchased preferentially by a certain part of the population.

Solution
========
This question refers to the definition of income elasticity in
Varian (2014, _Intermediate Microeconomics: A Modern Approach_, 9th ed.), Chapter 15.
