A consumer of two goods has Hicksian demand
(h₁ (p, u), h₂(p, u)) = (u, 2u).
(a) Find the Marshallian demand.
Solution: The expenditure function is given by
Therefore,
e(p, u) = p.h(p,u) = p₁u+2p₂u.
Using the identity e(p, v(p, w)) = w, we obtain
v(p, w) =
=
x(p,w) = h(p, v(p, w))

(b) Suppose prices change from (2, 1) to (2, 3), and, at the same time, wealth changes from
6 to 10. Calculate the equivalent variation associated with this change.
Solution: The equivalent variation is
