K. P.
This flashcard set covers advanced microeconomics topics at the university level, focusing on concepts like the Slutsky equation, demand functions, and price elasticity. It delves into the substitution and income effects, budget constraints, and the calculus behind these economic principles. The flashcards include examples and equations to illustrate how changes in price and income affect consumer behavior. This set is ideal for university students studying microeconomics, providing them with the tools to understand and apply these complex economic theories in real-world scenarios.

Flashcards

Maximise profit subject to output constraint/technology

Cross price elasticity

Income elasticity

Elasticity and marginal revenue

Constant elasticity demand

Elasticity and total revenue graph

Elasticity and total revenue

Elasticity of a linear demand curve

Elasticity's formula

The extensive and intensive margin

Equivalence of CV and EV in quasi-linear preferences

Equivalent variation graph

Compensating variation graph

Equivalent and compensating variations' definitions

Comparative statics of intertemporal choice

Future value

Budget constraint for present and future consumption

Assume that leisure is a normal good. How does labour supply change when w augments?

Labour supply starting with an endowment

Assumptions/notation:
I Nonlabour income
I Amount of consumption, price of consumption
I Amount of labour supplied, wage rate
Budget constraint
Further notation:
I Maximum amount of labour time
I Maximum consumption without work
I Leisure time
Budget constraint becomes

With endowment: budget constraint, gross demand, net demand

Slutsky equation with calculus 2/2

Slutsky equation with calculus 1/2

Hicks substitution effect

change in demand when prices
change but a consumer’s utility is held constant (consumer is indifferent between the original bundle and the one he can now afford) ! roll the budget line around the indifference curve

Slutsky equation: an example: substitution and income effect

Slutsky equation, an example: Now suppose p1 diminishes to 2. New demand?

16

Slutsky equation: an example
Assume the demand function is: x1(p1;p2;m) = 10 + 1m/10p1
Initially m = 120 and p1 = 3

Initial demand?

14

Change with endowment income effect

Slutsky equation

Quasilinear preferences

only substitution effect

Perfect substitutes: 3 scenari for change in demand

Slutsky decomposition: perfect complements

Subsitution effect = 0

Price effect and income effect with change in price: giffen good

Price effect and income effect with change in price: normal good

Discrete goods

Perfect complements: price offer curve and demand curve
