Properties of Marshallian demand: The maximization problem for U(x,y)=xay1-a subject to pxx+pyy=m 1). Using the Marshallian demand functions obtained back then, show that x*(px ,py, pm) and y*(px ,py, pm) are homogeneous of degree 0 in prices and income.  2). Show that the indirect utility function, v(px, py, m), is also homogeneous of degree 0 in prices and income.  3). Use Roy’s identity and show that you can indeed recover the original Marshallian demand functions.

Properties of Marshallian demand:

The maximization problem for U(x,y)=xay1-a subject to pxx+pyy=m

1). Using the Marshallian demand functions obtained back then, show that x*(px ,py, pm) and y*(px ,py, pm)
are homogeneous of degree 0 in prices and income. 
2). Show that the indirect utility function, v(px, py, m), is also homogeneous of degree 0 in prices and
income. 
3). Use Roy’s identity and show that you can indeed recover the original Marshallian demand functions.
