Perfect substitutes: price offer curve and demand curve

Price offer curve and demand curve with change of price

Ordinary goods VS Giffen goods

Change in prices

Quasi-linear preferences: income demand curve and Engel curve

Cobb-Douglas utility function: income offer curve and Engel curve

Perfect complements: Engel curve

Perfect complements: income offer curve

x1= m/ (p1+p2)

Perfect substitutes: One-to-one: with p < p : x1 = m/p1: Engel curve

Perfect substitutes: One-to-one: with p < p : x1 = m/p1: income offer curve

Engel curve

Income offer curve

Income expansion path

Inferior goods

(delta x1 / delta m) < 0, use of public transports, low quality food

Normal goods

(delta X, / delta m) > 0

Change in m: m'' < m <m'

Application to tax choice
If the government wants to raise R of revenue, should it use a quantity tax or an income tax?

Income tax better than quantity tax. 

Solve with the lagrangian for good2

 

Cobb-Douglas optimal choices

Quasi-linear preferences

Establish the maximum utility

Express x2 from de budget constraint

Inject it into the utility function

Derive to get the FOC

Equalize the partial utility function according to the prices

Concave preferences

corner solution

Consumers' demand: perfect complements

Exercice slide 18 lecture 5

Consumer demand: perfect substitutes

Assuming a one-to-one substitution

Solve for p1<p2, p1=p2 and p1>p2

Build a general case: (a/b)>(p1/p2) then x1* = m / p1 and x2* = 0

Optimization solution 3

Express x2 according to x1 with the budget constraint

Inject into the utility function

Derive the utility function to find de FOC

Optimization solution 2

Put MRS = -p1/p2

Inject the budget constraint

Optimization solution 1

Write the lagrangian with logs

First order contition

Solve for lambda

Put into FOC 1 and FOC 2

Optimization according the utility function and the budget constraint

Tangency exceptions

Kinky tastes, corner solutions, multiple tangency

 

Consumers' choice: tangency condition, condition for optimization

MRS for perfect substitute: calculation

+ MRS for Cobb-Douglas

Definition of the MRS

Definition of MU

Sketch of the Cobb-Douglas function

Formula for the quasi-linear preferences

ũ = v (x1) + x2 

x2 = k - v(x1)

Quasi-linear preferences

MRS independant from q of x2

Perfect complements: determine how much x2 per x1

u (x1,x2) = min {ax1. bx2}   x2=(a/b)x1

2 teaspoon per cup of coffe

x1 = (1/2)x2   min {x1, (1/2)x2}
