Abstract

The study of the local characteristics of equilibrium positions generated by the constrained maximization of some criterion functions (such as utility, profit, cost, etc.) goes back to Antonelli's paper [2] of 1886. Certain local properties have been proved to be particularly fruitful for economic theory since the early works of Slutsky, Hicks, and Samuelson [9]; they have been formulated in terms of a matrix of "compensated" terms and they concern the properties of partial derivatives of the demand function in some neighborhood of the equilibrium. We now discuss this matrix and its applications.
