Budget Constraint Graphs

Consumption excange ratio

Consumer preferences assumptions; Axioms of consumer theory
Will choose most preferred alt from set of alt, preference relations (strict vs weak vs indifference), completeness, transivity, reflexivity, continuity,
Well behaved preferences

MRS
Changes along curve
Quasi linear function
like increasing it upward when plugged in, partly linear

Cobb douglas indiff set

slope of indiff curve

Slope of quasi linear

Monotonic transformationss
more of a feeling thing, need to spot it

Know how to calc ordinary demand
Identify problem, set system of equations, solve mrs based on problem, solve system using mrs and system of equations

Price offer curve
budget line moves as price changes

cobb douglas ordinary demand functions

Giffen goods curve

engel curve; income offer curve

Solving ordinary demand of perfect compliments

Preffered bundle for perfect compliments; perfect substitutes
subs: corner solutions; comp: min combo
Effects of a price change
subs: parallel move of new line → tangent to old indiff curve, income effect → jump to the new final point

Endowments (impact on budget constraint), Endowment point
always revolve around endowment point regardless of p changes bcs thats when you don’t trade your endowment and just keep it

Slutsky identity

Endowment income effect

Subs, ordinary income, endowment income eff of endowment income effect

When is consumer worse off and better off in change in p with endowment
Worse off when: the new budget line cuts below the old consumption bundle (old bundle no longer affordable). Better off when: the new budget line passes above the old consumption bundle (old bundle still affordable, plus more). Ambiguous when: the consumer flips from net seller to net buyer of the good whose price changed.

intertemporal choice
impacted by inflation and ir

Slope of budget constraint

Changes in r and infla to budget constraint (what happens if revolve around endowment point)

How to find optimal consumption in intertemporal?
find budget constraint, find MRS, find tangent intersection
