  • Quasilinear Approximations
    Quasilinear approximations Marek Weretka ∗ August 2, 2018 Abstract This paper demonstrates that the canonical stochastic infinite horizon framework from both the macro and finance literature, with sufficiently patient consumers, is in- distinguishable in ordinal terms from a simple quasilinear economy. In particular, with a discount factor approaching one, the framework converges to a quasilinear limit in its preferences, allocation, prices, and ordinal welfare. Consequently, income effects associated with economic policies vanish, and equivalent and compensating variations coincide and become approximately additive for a set of temporary policies. This ordi- nal convergence holds for a large class of potentially heterogenous preferences that are in Gorman polar form. The paper thus formalizes the Marshallian conjecture, whereby quasilinear approximation is justified in those settings in which agents consume many commodities (here, referring to consumption in many periods), and unifies the general and partial equilibrium schools of thought that were previously seen as distinct. We also provide a consumption-based foundation for normative analysis based on social surplus. Key words: JEL classification numbers: D43, D53, G11, G12, L13 1 Introduction One of the most prevalent premises in economics is the ongoing notion that consumers be- have rationally. The types of rational preferences studied in the literature, however, vary considerably across many fields. The macro, financial and labor literature typically adopt consumption-based preferences within a general equilibrium framework, while in Industrial Organization, Auction Theory, Public Finance and other fields, the partial equilibrium ap- proach using quasilinear preferences is much more popular. ∗University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Economics, 1180 Observatory Drive, Madison, WI 53706.

  • Market Design and Walrasian Equilibrium†
    Market Design and Walrasian Equilibriumy Faruk Gul, Wolfgang Pesendorfer and Mu Zhang Princeton University April 2019 Abstract We establish the existence of Walrasian equilibrium for economies with many discrete goods and possibly one divisible good. Our goal is not only to study Walrasian equilibria in new settings but also to facilitate the use of market mechanisms in resource alloca- tion problems such as school choice or course selection. We consider all economies with quasilinear gross substitutes preferences. We allow agents to have limited quantities of the divisible good (limited transfers economies). We also consider economies without a divisible good (nontransferable utility economies). We show the existence and efficiency of Walrasian equilibrium in limited transfers economies and the existence and efficiency of strong (Walrasian) equilibrium in nontransferable utility economies. Finally, we show that various constraints on minimum and maximum levels of consumption and aggregate constraints of the kind that are relevant for school choice or course selection problems can be accommodated by either incorporating these constraints into individual preferences or by incorporating a suitable production technology into nontransferable utility economies. y This research was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation. 1. Introduction In this paper, we establish the existence of Walrasian equilibrium in economies with many discrete goods and either with a limited quantity of one divisible good or without any divisible goods. Our goal is not only to study Walrasian equilibria in new settings but also to facilitate the use of market mechanisms in resource allocation problems such as school choice or course selection. To this end, we develop techniques for analyzing allocation problems in economies with or without transfers and for incorporating additional constraints into allocation rules.

  • Substitution and Income Effect
    Intermediate Microeconomic Theory: ECON 251:21 Substitution and Income Effect Alternative to Utility Maximization We have examined how individuals maximize their welfare by maximizing their utility. Diagrammatically, it is like moderating the individual’s indifference curve until it is just tangent to the budget constraint. The individual’s choice thus selected gives us a demand for the goods in terms of their price, and income. We call such a demand function a Marhsallian Demand function. In general mathematical form, letting x be the quantity of a good demanded, we write the Marshallian Demand as x M ≡ x M (p, y) . Thinking about the process, we can reverse the intuition about how individuals maximize their utility. Consider the following, what if we fix the utility value at the above level, but instead vary the budget constraint? Would we attain the same choices? Well, we should, the demand thus achieved is however in terms of prices and utility, and not income. We call such a demand function, a Hicksian Demand, x H ≡ x H (p,u). This method means that the individual’s problem is instead framed as minimizing expenditure subject to a particular level of utility. Let’s examine briefly how the problem is framed, min p1 x1 + p2 x2 subject to u(x1 ,x2 ) = u We refer to this problem as expenditure minimization. We will however not consider this, safe to note that this problem generates a parallel demand function which we refer to as Hicksian Demand, also commonly referred to as the Compensated Demand. Decomposition of Changes in Choices induced by Price Change Let’s us examine the decomposition of a change in consumer choice as a result of a price change, something we have talked about earlier.

  • Preferences and Utility
    Preferences and Utility Simon Board§ This Version: October 6, 2009 First Version: October, 2008. These lectures examine the preferences of a single agent. In Section 1 we analyse how the agent chooses among a number of competing alternatives, investigating when preferences can be represented by a utility function. In Section 2 we discuss two attractive properties of preferences: monotonicity and convexity. In Section 3 we analyse the agent’s indiÆerence curves and ask how she makes tradeoÆsbetweendiÆerent goods. Finally, in Section 4 we look at some examples of preferences, applying the insights of the earlier theory. 1 The Foundation of Utility Functions 1.1 A Basic Representation Theorem Suppose an agent chooses from a set of goods X = a, b, c, . For example, one can think of { } these goods as diÆerent TV sets or cars. Given two goods, x and y, the agent weakly prefers x over y if x is at least as good as y.To avoid us having to write “weakly prefers” repeatedly, we simply write x < y. We now put some basic structure on the agent’s preferences by adopting two axioms.1 Completeness Axiom: For every pair x, y X,eitherx y, y x, or both. 2 < < §Department of Economics, UCLA. http://www.econ.ucla.edu/sboard/. Please email suggestions and typos to [email protected]. 1An axiom is a foundational assumption. 1 Eco11, Fall 2009 Simon Board Transitivity Axiom: For every triple x, y, z X,ifx y and y z then x z. 2 < < < An agent has complete preferences if she can compare any two objects.

  • Hardware Design Considerations for an Electric Bicycle Using BLDC Motor
    www.ti.com Table of Contents Application Report Hardware Design Considerations for an Electric Bicycle Using a BLDC Motor Srivatsa Raghunath ABSTRACT A traditional bicycle is a two-wheel vehicle that is propelled by the rider who delivers muscle power through pedals that rotate one of the two wheels. The rider steers the front wheel to create a force that returns and maintains the vehicle center of gravity into a stable zone whenever necessary, thus keeping the bicycle upright. An electric bicycle carries batteries that deliver electric power to a motor that is coupled to either wheel. In most electric bicycles the rider can chose to use muscle power to deliver all, part, or none of the propulsion power required to maintain an adopted travel speed. Some models even sense pedal pressure and command the motor to deliver more power whenever the rider pedals harder.

This paper derives utility functions for the additional benchmark cases where one good has zero cross-price elasticity, unit own-price elasticity, and zero own price elasticity. It is shown how each of these utility functions arises from a simple graphical construction based on a single given indifference curve.

    The problems in this chapter examine some variations on the apartment market described in the text. In most of the problems we work with the true demand curve constructed from the reservation prices of the consumers rather than the \smoothed" demand curve that we used in the text. Remember that the reservation price of a consumer is that price where he is just indi®erent between renting or not renting the apartment. At any price below the reservation price the consumer will demand one apartment, at any price above the reservation price the consumer will de- mand zero apartments, and exactly at the reservation price the consumer will be indi®erent between having zero or one apartment. You should also observe that when demand curves have the \stair- case" shape used here, there will typically be a range of prices where supply equals demand. Thus we will ask for the the highest and lowest price in the range. 1.1 (3) Suppose that we have 8 people who want to rent an apartment. Their reservation prices are given below. (To keep the numbers small, think of these numbers as being daily rent payments.) Person = A B C D E F G H Price = 40 25 30 35 10 18 15 5 (a) Plot the market demand curve in the following graph. (Hint: When the market price is equal to some consumer i's reservation price, there will be two di®erent quantities of apartments demanded, since consumer i will be indi®erent between having or not having an apartment.)

  • Efficient Auctions with Altruism
    Efficient Auctions with Altruism∗ Ruggiero Cavallo Microsoft Research 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 6th floor New York, NY 10104 [email protected] September 6, 2012 Abstract We introduce a novel regret-based model of altruism, wherein agents are willing to forgo a small amount of value if doing so increases social welfare, and consider its implications in a single-item allocation setting. We demonstrate that even for very mildly altruistic agents classic approaches such as VCG are manipulable, but straightforward variants of known mechanisms that are strategyproof in the purely-selfish case succeed in achieving dominant strategy efficiency and strong budget-balance, i.e., full social welfare for the group, a result unachievable in the case of completely selfish agents. We contrast this positive result with a negative analysis of a more traditional (non-regret- based) altruism model, demonstrating that nothing short of complete altruism yields existence of a strongly budget-balanced efficient mechanism there. JEL Classification: D64, D44, D01, D82 1 Introduction Mechanism design is a cynical enterprise: the goal is to derive schemes under which selfish agents, unconcerned with the welfare of others, cannot benefit from doing other than what is considered optimal from a social perspective (e.g., truthfully reporting private information to allow identification of a social welfare maximizing action). When such schemes succeed in simultaneously satisfying the goals of the social planner and each agent, the assumption of selfishness makes them robust. But unfortunately often they cannot succeed; most notably, efficient mechanisms in ∗A significant portion of this work was completed while the author was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania.
