The Hicksian demand function isolates the substitution effect by supposing the consumer is compensated with exactly enough extra income after the price rise to purchase some bundle on the same indifference curve. [2] If the Hicksian demand function is steeper than the Marshallian demand, the good is a normal good; otherwise, the good is inferior.
where (,) is the Hicksian demand and (,) is the Marshallian demand, at the vector of price levels , wealth level (or, alternatively, income level) , and fixed utility level given by maximizing utility at the original price and income, formally given by the indirect utility function (,).
It is also possible that the Hicksian and Marshallian demands are not unique (i.e. there is more than one commodity bundle that satisfies the expenditure minimization problem); then the demand is a correspondence, and not a function. This does not happen, and the demands are functions, under the assumption of local nonsatiation.
where (,) is the Hicksian demand for good , (,) is the expenditure function, and both functions are in terms of prices (a vector) and utility . Likewise, in the theory of the firm , the lemma gives a similar formulation for the conditional factor demand for each input factor: the derivative of the cost function c ( w , y ) {\displaystyle c ...
Roy's identity is akin to the result that the price derivatives of the expenditure function give the Hicksian demand functions. The additional step of dividing by the wealth derivative of the indirect utility function in Roy's identity is necessary since the indirect utility function, unlike the expenditure function, has an ordinal ...
The relationship between the utility function and Marshallian demand in the utility maximisation problem mirrors the relationship between the expenditure function and Hicksian demand in the expenditure minimisation problem. In expenditure minimisation the utility level is given and well as the prices of goods, the role of the consumer is to ...

You seem more active in the Econ community. Can you ask for feedback on the Hicksian as an example as a way to refine the rules. I think it is a good example to use. Pdbailey 02:42, 15 August 2008 (UTC) Yeah no problem, I've been waiting for just such an example. I'll start up a discussion on WT:ECON and we'll try to build a consensus. I'd like ...
