Alternative consideration to the duality of consumer’s problem

Main Article Content

Abstract

This paper offers a new analysis on comparative statics of demand. New in the sense that it simplifies the obtaining -both formally and in terms of assumptions- of Shephard's Lemma and Roy's Identity by demonstrating them with the use of Euler's Theorem on homogeneous functions and without appealing to the fulfillment of duality, rather than using the Envelope Theorem or the Implicit Function Theorem. Based on this, the duality of the consumer problem is studied without requiring quasi-concavity of the utility function.
