Shephard's lemma is a result in microeconomics having applications in the theory of the firm and in consumer choice. [1] The lemma states that if indifference curves of the expenditure or cost function are convex, then the cost-minimizing point of a given good with price is unique.
Consumers will buy less, even though the price is the same. [12] On the other hand, lower mortgage rate leads to a higher willingness to buy at all prices, and eventually shifting the demand curve to the right. [13] Consumers will now buy more, even though the price has not changed at all. [12]

Edgeworth's original two-axis depiction was developed into the now familiar box diagram by Pareto in his 1906 Manual of Political Economy and was popularized in a later exposition by Bowley. The modern version of the diagram is commonly referred to as the Edgeworth–Bowley box. [6]
In economics, a budget constraint represents all the combinations of goods and services that a consumer may purchase given current prices within their given income. Consumer theory uses the concepts of a budget constraint and a preference map as tools to examine the parameters of consumer choices .
The Rybczynski theorem was developed in 1955 by the Polish-born English economist Tadeusz Rybczynski (1923–1998). It states that at constant relative goods prices, a rise in the endowment of one factor will lead to a more than proportional expansion of the output in the sector which uses that factor intensively, and an absolute decline of the output of the other good.
A limit order will not shift the market the way a market order might. The downsides to limit orders can be relatively modest: You may have to wait and wait for your price.
A limit price (or limit pricing) is a price, or pricing strategy, where products are sold by a supplier at a price low enough to make it unprofitable for other players to enter the market. It is used by monopolists to discourage entry into a market , and is illegal in many countries. [ 1 ]
