There are two parts of the Slutsky equation, namely the substitution effect and income effect. In general, the substitution effect is negative. Slutsky derived this formula to explore a consumer's response as the price of a commodity changes. When the price increases, the budget set moves inward, which also causes the quantity demanded to decrease.
Their derivatives are more fundamentally related by the Slutsky equation. Whereas Marshallian demand comes from the Utility Maximization Problem, Hicksian Demand comes from the Expenditure Minimization Problem. The two problems are mathematical duals, and hence the Duality Theorem provides a method of proving the relationships described above.
In probability theory, Slutsky's theorem extends some properties of algebraic operations on convergent sequences of real numbers to sequences of random variables. [ 1 ] The theorem was named after Eugen Slutsky . [ 2 ]
Slutsky is principally known for work in deriving the relationships embodied in the Slutsky equation widely used in microeconomic consumer theory for separating the substitution effect and the income effect of a price change on the total quantity of a good demanded following a price change in that good, or in a related good that may have a cross-price effect on the original good quantity.
The Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) is a consumer demand model used primarily by economists to study consumer behavior. [1] The AIDS model gives an arbitrary second-order approximation to any demand system and has many desirable qualities of demand systems.
Roy's identity reformulates Shephard's lemma in order to get a Marshallian demand function for an individual and a good from some indirect utility function.. The first step is to consider the trivial identity obtained by substituting the expenditure function for wealth or income in the indirect utility function (,), at a utility of :
Slutsky's theorem can be used to combine several different estimators, or an estimator with a non-random convergent sequence. If T n → d α , and S n → p β , then [ 5 ]
