1、Chapter Six,Demand 需求函數(shù)的靜態(tài)比較分析,What Do We Do in This Chapter?,We conduct comparative statics analysis of ordinary demand functions - the study of how ordinary demands x1*(p1,p2,y) and x2*(p1,p2,y) change as prices p1, p2 and income y change. Theoretically, nothing new.,Own-Price Changes,How does x1*

Suppose only p1 increases, from p1 to p1 and then to p1.,x1*(p1),x1*(p1),x1*(p1),p1,x1*(p1),x1*(p1),x1*(p1),p1,p1,p1,x1*,Own-Price Changes,Ordinarydemand curvefor commodity 1,Fixed p2 and y.,x1*(p1),x1*(p1),x1*(p1),p1,x1*(p1),x1*(p1),x1*(p1)

15、 Engel curves have all been straight lines?Q: Is this true in general? A: No. Engel curves are straight lines if the consumers preferences are homothetic.,Homotheticity,A consumers preferences are homothetic if and only iffor every k 0. That is, the consumers MRS is the same anywhere on a straight l
