Differentiability of value of convex optimization problem
Setup:
Consider the problem
$$
V(y) \quad = \quad \min_{x \in \mathbb R^N} f(x) \quad \text{s.t.} \quad g(x+y) \leq 0
$$
where $f$ and $g$ are convex functions and $y \in \mathbb R^N$ is a parameter ...

Concavity of Cobb-Douglass Utility Function on Non-Open set
My textbook argues that the Cobb-Douglass utility function $u=(x1)^a(x2)^b$ with $a,b>0$ and $a+b<1$ is concave on $R2+$ by computing the Hessian and showing it to be negative semidefinite for ...

What problems arise when the minimum wage is directly linked to the inflation rate?
For example if the minimum wage is 10, and the inflation for the year is 3%, then next year the minimum wage is 10*1.03 =10.30. the next year, inflation is 5%, so the minimum wage becomes 10.82.
The ...

Supporting Hyperplane Theorem and quasiconcave utility function
My notes says that if $u(.)$ is strictly quasiconcave and differentiable, by the supporting hyperplane theorem, there exists $p >>0$ and $w \geq 0$ such that $ x = x(p,w)$ $\forall x$. I am ...
