A graphic calculator for simple microeconomics problems

I wrote some silly program where you just fix endowment $e=(e_1,e_2)$ and utility functions $u=(u_1(x_1,y_1),u_2(x_2,y_2))$. The example provides an illustration for your utility functions and $x_1+x_ …

On closedness: commodity space

In Intriligator (2002, p. 143) we find the following statement: \begin{align} C = \{(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n) : x_j \geq 0,~j=1,2,\ldots,n\} \subset [0,\infty)^n \end{align} Thus commodity space …

Consumer surplus with isoelastic demand

Let $q(p) = \frac{1}{p}$ denote the demand function and $p^*$ some equilibrium price. Consumer surplus is defined as \begin{align} CS = \int_{p^*}^\infty\frac{1}{p} dp= \ln(\infty) - \ln(p^*) = \inft …

Term for perfect symmetric asymmetry

Let $x \in [0,1]$ denote some state (e.g. market share). Let $i \in \{1,2\}$ denote an agent (e.g. firm). Im considering a model where payoffs $F_i(x)$ are perfectly invertible in the sense that the p …

Rigorous solution of Stackelberg leader-follower game with N-players?

Let $c = 0$ and $Q_k = \sum_{i = 1}^k{q_i}$. For $j = n$ the best response is given by \begin{align} b_n(Q_{n-1}) = \arg\max_{q_n}(1 - Q_{n-1} - q_n)q_n = \frac{1- Q_{n-1}}{2}. \end{align} For $j = n- …

On complements and substitutes with a CES function

Define the CES function $q : \mathbb R_+^n \to [0,1]$ by \begin{align} q(x) = \left[\frac{1}{n}\sum_{j=1}^n{x_j^\frac{\sigma-1}{\sigma}}\right]^\frac{\sigma}{\sigma-1} \end{align} where $x \in \mathbb …

Contract curve and Pareto frontier

Consider an exchange economy with two agents. Each agent $i \in \{1,2\}$ derives utility $u^i(x_1,x_2) \in \mathbb R$ by consuming $(x_1,x_2) \in \mathbb R_+^2$. Let $u_j^i(x_1,x_2) = \partial u^i(x_ …
