An Alfred Marshallian demand function (named after him), in microeconomics, is the quantity of a given good that a customer will demand as a function of the product's price and their income, as well as other product prices. With it, the customer can maximise their own utility in light of current income and price levels. In contrast to the Hicksian demand function, where consumers are rewarded with increased nominal income for decreases in their actual income when prices rise, the phrase "uncompensated demand function" is a more accurate description. Due to a combination of the substitution impact and wealth effect, there is an increase in demand. In the context of partial equilibrium theory, Marshallian demand is known as Walrasian demand (named after Léon Walras), while in general equilibrium theory, it is known as Marshallian demand (named after Marshall).
Commodities with price vector p and quantity vector x are available to maximise utility. Due to the consumer's income, a reasonable package is within reach.
