Abstract
This paper analyzes compensated price elasticities and corresponding Slutsky equations for discrete choice models. A remarkable feature of the compensated price elasticities is that they are usually not symmetric, as compensated elasticities with respect to a price increase versus a price decrease may be different. We also clarify how results obtain in this paper and similar results in the literature are related. Finally, selected examples are discussed.
期刊介绍:
The primary objective of the Journal is to provide a forum for work in economic theory which expresses economic ideas using formal mathematical reasoning. For work to add to this primary objective, it is not sufficient that the mathematical reasoning be new and correct. The work must have real economic content. The economic ideas must be interesting and important. These ideas may pertain to any field of economics or any school of economic thought.
