Suppose that a consumer has monotonic and strictly convex preferences and consumes goods x and y. The consumer maximizes his utility with respect to his budget constraint. If the price of x is p 0 x (and the price of y is p y ), the consumer demands the bundle (x 0 *, y 0 *) and reaches the utility level u 0 . Now suppose that the price of good x decreases to p 1 x. After the price change, t he consumer demands the bundle (x 1 *, y 1 *) and reaches the utility level u 1 .

Question

Suppose that a consumer has monotonic and strictly convex preferences and consumes goods x and y. The consumer maximizes his utility with respect to his budget constraint. If the price of x  is p 0 x   (and the price of y is p y ),   the consumer demands the bundle (x 0 *, y 0 *) and reaches the utility level u 0 . Now suppose that the price of good x  decreases  to p 1 x.  After the price change, t he  consumer demands the bundle (x 1 *,  y 1 *) and reaches  the utility level u 1 .

Answer

The change in demand for good x due to this price change's substitution effect is equivalent to a movement between the points on Hicksian demand H x (p 1 x , p y , u 0 ) and H x (p 0 x , p y , u 0 ).

Answer

The change in demand for good x due to this price change's substitution effect is equivalent to a movement between the points on Hicksian demand H x (p 1 x , p y , u 1 ) and H x (p 0 x , p y , u 1 ).

Answer

The change in demand for good x due to this price change's substitution effect is equivalent to a movement between the points on Hicksian demand H x (p 1 x , p y , u 0 ) and H x (p 1 x , p y , u 1 ).
