Chapter SixDemand需求需求Properties of Demand FunctionsuComparative statics analysis（比较比较静态分析）静态分析）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.StructureuOwn-price changesPrice offer curve（价格提供曲线）价格提供曲线）Ordinary demand curveInverse demand curve（反需求函数）反需求函数）uIncome changesIncome offer curve（收入提供曲线）收入提供曲线）Engel

utility-maximizing bundles traced out as p1 changes,with p2 and y constant,is the p1-price offer curve.uThe plot of the x1-coordinate of the p1-price offer curve against p1 is the ordinary demand curve for commodity 1.Own-Price ChangesuWhat does a p1 price-offer curve look like for Cobb-Douglas preferences?uThen the ordinary demand functions for commodities 1 and 2 areTakeOwn-Price ChangesandNotice that x2*does not vary with p1 so thep1 price offer curve is flat and the ordinarydemand curve for commodity 1 is a rectangular hyperbola.x1*(p1)x1*(p1)x1*(p1)Own-Price ChangesFixed p2

ask the inverse question“At what price for commodity 1 would a given quantity of commodity 1 be demanded?”Own-Price Changesp1x1*p1Given p1,what quantity isdemanded of commodity 1?Own-Price Changesp1x1*p1Given p1,what quantity isdemanded of commodity 1?Answer:x1 units.x1Own-Price Changesp1x1*x1Given p1,what quantity isdemanded of commodity 1?Answer:x1 units.The inverse question is:Given x1 units are demanded,what is the price of commodity 1?Own-Price Changesp1x1*p1x1Given p1,what quantity isdemanded of commodity 1?Answer:x1 units.The inverse question is:Given x1 units are demanded,what is the price of commodity 1?Answer:p1Own-Price ChangesuTaking quantity demanded as given and then asking what must be price describes the inverse demand function of a commodity.Own-Price ChangesA Cobb-Douglas example:is the ordinary demand function andis the inverse demand function.Own-Price ChangesA perfect-complements example:is the ordinary demand function andis the inverse demand function.Meaning of the Inverse Demand FunctionuAt optimal choiceuOruIf taking good 2 as money on other goods,then p2=1 and p1=MRS.uThis is the marginal willingness to pay.Income ChangesuHow does the

commodity 1 then commodity 1 is a gross substitute for commodity 2.reduces demand for commodity 1 then commodity 1 is a gross complement for commodity 2.Cross-Price EffectsA perfect-complements example:soTherefore commodity 2 is a grosscomplement for commodity 1.Cross-Price Effectsp1x1*p1p1p1Increase the price ofgood 2 from p2 to p2and Cross-Price Effectsp1x1*p1p1p1Increase the price ofgood 2 from p2 to p2and the demand curvefor good 1 shifts inwards-good 2 is acomplement for good 1.Cross-Price EffectsA Cobb-Douglas example:soTherefore commodity 1 is neither a grosscomplement nor a gross substitute forcommodity 2.
