	Marshallian demand function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In microeconomics, a consumer's Marshallian demand function specifies what the consumer would buy in each price and wealth situation, assuming it perfectly solves the utility maximization problem.
		Marshallian demand is sometimes called Walrasian demand instead, because the original Marshallian analysis ignored wealth effects.
		The consumer's Marshallian demand correspondence is defined to be

	General equilibrium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Marshallian theory of supply and demand is an example of partial equilibrium analysis.
		A result known as the Sonnenschein-Mantel-Debreu Theorem states that the aggregate (excess) demand function inherits only certain properties of individual's demand functions, and that these (Continuity, Homogeneity of degree zero, Walras' law, and boundary behavior when prices are near zero) are not enough to guarantee uniqueness.
		Furthermore if an economy as a whole, as characterized by an aggregate excess demand function, has the revealed preference property (which is a much stronger condition than revealed preferences for a single individual) or the gross substitute property then likewise the equilibrium will be unique.

		Put another way, it is the demand for the gross domestic product of a country when, and only when, it is in equilibrium (the total new production sold through the market).
		In Marxian economics, the equation of aggregate demand with expenditure on GDP is rejected as false, on conceptual and statistical grounds.
		In the "Keynesian cross diagram," a desired total spending (or "aggregate demand") curve is often drawn as a rising level of D as total national output and income rise.

		Unlike the Marshallian demand function, a change in the price of a good will have only one effect on the Hicksian demand function; as the level of utility is held constant, this is the substitution effect.
		In economics, the Marshallian demand function is a function that expresses the quantities of goods demanded by an individual in terms of the price of a good and the income of the individual.
		Demand theory is an economic theory that concerns the relationship between the demand for goods and their prices; it forms the core of microeconomics.

	Engel curve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In economics, an Engel curve shows how the quantity demanded of a good or service changes as the consumers income level changes.
		Income is shown on the Y-axis and the quantity demanded for the selected good or service is shown on the X-axis.
		For goods with Marshallian demand function generated by a utility in Gorman polar form, the Engel curve has a constant slope.

	Utility maximization problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If a consumer always picks an optimal package as defined above, then x(p, w) is called the Marshallian demand correspondence.
		If there is always a unique maximizer, then it is called the Marshallian demand function.
		The relationship between the utility function and Marshallian demand in the Utility Maximization Problem mirrors the relationship between the expenditure function and Hicksian demand in the Expenditure Minimization Problem.

	Genetic Causation and Economic Theory
		The equilibrium construct is thus an analytical apparatus whose function is to explain the causes of change (or to provide theoretical predictions of the effects of changes).
		The functional relationship emphasizes the importance of previous external events (the unemployment statistical series), while the story emphasizes the changes in desires and beliefs of the unionized workers arising out of their experiences.
		Clearly the functional relationship would not command any degree of assent were it not supported by a plausible story of workers' intentions and purposes.

	Marshallian Demand Functions : Some Examples
		In this example, the quantities demanded of goods 2 and 3 were independent of the person's income M. Increases in income are all spent on good #1.
		With Cobb-Douglas preferences, quantity demanded of each good does depend on income M : in fact quantity demanded of each good is proportional to income.
		These demand functions are only valid if the person has enough income to pay for her ``required'' consumption levels s

		But, of course, the arguments of the demand function are now p and u, rather than p and M. This gives a demand function associated with the dual problem of the form (8) EMBED Equation.2 , which is known as the Hicksian demand.
		This role of the expenditure function is shown in the map in Fig 1.
		The derivation of the indirect utility function from the Marshallian demands is shown in Fig 1.

	AgBioForum 8(2&3): Monopoly Power, Price Discrimination, and Access to Biotechnology Innovations
		Knowledge of the shape of the demand and marginal revenue curves and the magnitude of the demand elasticities (and to some extent, the shape of the marginal cost curve) help to determine the sign and magnitude of the change in welfare.
		Consumer surplus changes are the change in the area beneath the respective demand curves as a result of the price changes, and monopoly profit is the product of the difference between the technology fee and average cost (or marginal cost, because we model constant marginal cost) and the quantity of seed demanded by the market.
		Also, Just and Hueth (1979) showed that when demand curves are estimated econometrically without including prices in other linked markets, the demand obtained is equivalent to a general equilibrium demand curve, and thus the welfare areas calculated in the seed market comprise the total welfare change within the system.

	Some Estimates of the Contribution of Information Technology to Consumer Welfare
		The appropriate demand curve to use for exact consumer surplus is the compensated demand curve, which is the amount that the consumer would demand if income were adjusted sufficiently to maintain the same utility level.
		Although the demand elasticities were slightly lower, as expected, the results using this approach were not significantly different from the ISUR estimates.
		The Marshallian and Exact estimates of consumer surplus are relatively robust to changes in the estimates for the price elasticity of demand: 50% changes in price elasticity lead to less than 10% changes in the surplus estimates.

	Grid X: a reconstruction of economics
		The original demand curve was called "hunger." On the demand side, the "law of diminishing returns" is self-evident, and we must assume it on the supply side as well, though there the "law" is considerably less obvious.
		Demand occasionally can be upward-sloping, as for example with addiction or with "bubbles." But the demand curve really is downward-sloping, or simply is an inverse relationship between price and quantity.
		Nor was supply the obverse of demand, as in the theory of reservation prices, since production was undertaken for sale; and even when the goods could not be stored or moved to another market, producers were in no position to consume their own output.

	EconPort - Glossary
		In a game, a Markov strategy is one that does not depend at all on state variables that are functions of the history of the game except those that affect payoffs.
		In general, a given variable may be said to function as a mediator to the extend that it accounts for the relation between the predictor and the criterion.
		For example in maximum likelihood estimation, one usually maximizes the log of the likelihood function, not the likelihood function itself, because this is more tractable and the log is a monotone operator so it doesn't change the answer.

	Some Observation on the Laffer Curve
		Of course, the function describing the curve between the points must be continuous and the first derivative must exist.
		Assuming some regularity conditions of the functions involved, it is easy to demonstrate that the maximum of the derived Laffer curve is located on the falling range of the Laffer-type curve relating output to the tax rate.
		The utility function is now quasi-linear in leisure; thus, the labor supply function includes a wealth term in the form of profits from the private business sector.

	Gootzeit, Marshall's View on Savings
		The macro classical tradition of interest determination, like the micro "Marshallian cross" price determination concept, was supposed to have held that the market interest rate was determined by a positively-sloped, but aggregate, savings supply function intersecting a negatively-sloped aggregate investment demand function; moreover, Marshall's theory of interest was representative of it.
		Although it is unclear whether savings were regarded here as a demand or a supply function, Marshall did use some of the same terminology that he applied to the commodity "demand schedule", defined in Bk.
		2, that the savings function could be regarded as a supply relation, but he was referring to the aggregate "supply-of-capital" function in the long period, a stock concept.

		To estimate the benefits of a potable water supply project, some idea of the parameters of the demand function is needed to calculate a Marshallian consumer's surplus welfare measure.
		Often, given a baseline estimate of pre-project consumption and price, an elasticity estimate can be used to reconstitute the underlying demand function and the consumer surplus integral (see Powers and Valencia 1980), but the elasticity has to be obtained from the econometric estimation of a demand relation.
		This paper discusses the relative merits of the statistical procedures that can be used to obtain elasticity estimates or their underlying water demand functions.

	The Cost Function
		The cost function and its analysis is due largely to the famous work of Paul Samuelson (1947) and Ronald Shephard (1953) [note: John Hicks (1939) obtained most of these relationships in the context of a consumer expenditure function].
		in the margin, the effect of a rise in price of factor j on the demand for factor i is the same as the effect of a rise in the price of factor i on the demand for factor j.

	EconPapers: Asymptotically Well-behaved Demand Functions for Normal Goods
		It is well-known that Marshallian demand functions are well-behaved only if they are defined for neutral goods, i.e., the case of quasi-linear preferences.
		This paper considers a possibility that Marshallian demand functions for normal goods become well behaved when the initial incomes are sufficiently large.
		As a main result, this paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for a standard preference ordering under which the derived Marshallian demand function becomes well-behaved when the initial income is sufficiently large.

	omega - Homothetic Preferences
		This paper develops a new class of homothetic preferences which generate Marshallian demand curves for individual goods which can be concave, convex or linear in own price under the assumption that agents treat aggregate price indices as given (as in the Dixit-Stiglitz (1977) monopolistic competition model).
		The preferences are represented by a cost function which has two parameters: omega determining the curvature of the Marshallian demand; gamma determining the elasticity of demand when all prices are equal.
		The cost function has a restricted form that allows for any relevant combination of these parameters for a given number of goods.

		But this assumes that everyone’s demand for a product is independent of everyone else’s demand for that product; for example, that one’s choice of a disco is not influenced by whether it is crowded or dead empty.
		No strong precedent existed for this demand, and its novelty, coupled with its self-evident reasonableness, came as a shock for economists, orthodox and heterodox alike.
		The preferences cannot be explained through interpersonal relations, because if individual demands were interdependent they would not be additive, and thus the market demand function - neoclassicalism’s key analytical tool - would be undefined.

	Local Stability
		Thus, a rise in the price of good i will affect not only own demand in market i but also demands in other markets and thus other prices which, in turn, affect excess demand in market i.
		Recall that in a single market case, if, starting from equilibrium, a rise in price leads to a negative excess demand, then the system is "stable" as all the auctioneer has to to do is to follow the tatonnement rule and lower the price back to equilibrium.
		The gross substitution assumption introduced by Metzler is presumed to hold in the aggregate, for market excess demand functions and not necessarily on individual demands.
