<p>I mean, an Ordinary Demand Equation measures changes in quantity of X due to changes in price Px.  Engel Curve measures changes in quantity of X due to changes in income M.  But ODE has M in it's equation, and is simply just an algebraic variant of the Engel curve!</p>

I mean, an Ordinary Demand Equation measures changes in quantity of X due to changes in price Px. Engel Curve measures changes in quantity of X due to changes in income M. But ODE has M in it's equation, and is simply just an algebraic variant of the Engel curve!
