Income and Subst At a wage rate of $10/hour, the optimal hours of leisure is 16 (8 hours of work) at point U_{1} If the wage rate rises to $15/hour, the optimal hours of leisure is 15 at point U_{2} The income effect (IE) is measured through a parallel shift of the old budget constraint. The IE is from U_{1} to U_{2} (from 16 to 17 hours of leisure). The substitution effect (SE) is measured by movement along I_{2} The SE is from U_{2} to U_{2} (from 17 to 15 hours leisure). The net effect is an increase of hours of work by 1 hour.
