Talk:Consumer theory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On Consumer_theory and Giffen_good pages are diagrams I can't call up because the A-tags intended to create links that display the images, enclose nothing! Not even one byte of whitespace that would result in a clickable spot. I have no clue how this problem can be repaired in the Wiki world -- in fact, I have no clue how to bring this comment itself to the attention of persons able to respond effectively. Meanwhile, the articles are far less informative without their diagrams.

Not sure what you mean. Maybe you could post a screenshot of what you're seeing or something? —Caesura 06:59, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think this page should be fleshed out and contain the articles "indifference curves" and "utility maximization problem." It should also redirect so that you come here when you search for "the theory of consumer choice."

[edit] Math notation conventions

It says

I wonder if it should say something like

or perhaps

The latter seems consistent with later usage in the article: one refers to "good X" and "good Y" with unitalicized capital letters, and lets x and y with italicized lower-case letters be the corresponding amounts of those goods. Michael Hardy 22:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Either of the latter ways look fine to me. Which ever is choosen should probably have the terms defined (like where x is the amount of good X) Jrincayc 01:52, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm surprised anyone could say that either looks fine. I'd have thought if one is good, the other is an abomination. Michael Hardy 02:39, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

... oh ... you said either of the latter ways. OK. Michael Hardy 23:06, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Labor-Leisure

I added a blurb about the labor-leisure model. I wish to add an image or too, but do not know the format of the previous graphics. I hope to add a few examples of how a welfare benefits guarantee can change things and how wage taxes change the budget constraint. --Vince 16:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
