    An econometrician has statistically estimated the following Marshallian demand functions for a good ?: ?M(Px?,I)= 0.5(I/Px) ??? ?M(?Py?,I)?= 0.5(I/Py) ?? In addition, she was able to derive the following indirect utility function consistent with her statistical estimations: ? ?( ?x ? , ?y ? , I) ? = 0.5 ∙ I ∙ ?x-0.5 ? ∙ ?y-0.5 Now she claims that the Slutsky equation does not hold for her functions and asks you to check this: a) Compute the expenditure function...
