1. Consider the utility function: u(x1,x2) = x1 + x2. Find the corresponding Hicksian demand function. 2. For each of the three utility functions below, find the substitution effect, the income effect, and the total effect that result when prices change from p =(2, 1) to p' = (2,4). Assume the consumer has income I = 20. (a) Before doing any calculation, make an educated guess about the relative magnitude of the three substitution effects and the three income effects...

Marshallian and Hicksian demand Suppose the utility function for goods ? and ? is given by ?(?, ?) = ?? + ?. (a) Calculate the uncompensated (i.e., Marshallian) demand functions for the two goods. Describe how the demand curves are shifted for changes in ? or other good’s prices. (b) Derive the associated expenditure function (simplify as much as possible). (c) Using part (b), find the compensated (i.e., Hicksian) demand functions for goods ? and ?. Describe how the compensated...
