Substitution Terms
As Hicks points out in the first book of Value and Capital, substitution is the only relationship possible in a two-good economy. In an economy having more than two goods, the relationship between pairs of goods need no longer be that of substitution. Complementarity, as defined by Hicks, then becomes possible. The own substitution term (g,rr) for the rt' good involves an increase in the price of the rth good, the other prices remaining unchanged…

Is the Substitution Term Ambiguous
1. In their interesting and provocative recent paper, Professors Folk and Wolfe consider the problem of equilibrium of a single consumer under market conditions represented by a budget constraint which is not linear.' They make the usual assumption that the consumer has a given indifference map which is continuous and twice differentiable and they come up with two new theorems, both in negative form

Movements in Retail Prices Since 1953
The general magnitude of the inflationary rise in prices from 1954 to 1957 is well known: an increase of about 4 per cent. per year in the all-items index of retail prices. I propose here to examine differences in price movements from one commodity group to another, in order to throw light on the nature of the inflation and on the prospects of it being stopped. In addition, now that data are available on recent patterns of consumption,' I provide…

Changes in the Distribution of Higher Incomes
Some information on the distribution of personal income, by raniges of total income before anid after tax, is given annually in the Blue Books on National Income and Expenditure. Such data have been analysed by Professor Paishl and others and I do not intend to pursue the matter here. My purpose is to go into more detail, by type of income as far as the data provided by Inland Revenue permit. Inland Revenue is undertaking a series of enquiries, a…

The Engineer's Approach to Economic Models
In an important book' recently published, Professor Tustin has given an account of the way in which an engineer looks at economic systems. His book is, inevitably, difficult reading for anyone not used to applied mathematics. Economists will need some urging and encouragement if they are to attempt to follow Professor Tustin's line of argument. The purpose of this article is to provide the encouragement; it is an economist's approach to the engin…

A Reconsideration of the Theory of Value. Part I
THE pure theory of exchange value, after a period of intensive study by economists of the generation of Jevons and Marshall, has received comparatively little attention from their successors in the twentieth century. Apart from some very interesting inquiries into what may be called the dynamics of the subject, due to contemporary writers of the school of Vienna,1 there has been only one major achievement in this field since I 900. That achieveme…
A Reconsideration of the Theory of Value. Part II. A Mathematical Theory of Individual Demand Functions
THE established definition of the way in which a pair of goods can be related in an individual's scale of preferences is due, in its precise form, to Edgeworth and Pareto. The definition assumes the existence of a utility function giving the utility to the individual of any combination of the set of consumers' goods, X,Y,Z ........ which enter into the individual's budget. Denoting the function by u=b(x,y,z . ...... ), the EdgeworthPareto definit…
The Foundations of a Mathematical Theory of Exchange
ECONOMICS is, at the moment, the only member of the group of social sciences which has definitely passed from the qualitative to the quantitative phase. In the words of Professor Hogben,2 political economy . . . is adopting quantitative methods and assuming the ethical neutrality of an exact science. In common with all exact sciences, the science of economics has two branches: (a) the empirical branch (descriptive economics), and (b) the rational…

Ti-iIS paper attempts a synthesis of what might be called the classical economic theory of index numbers, developed by Staehle and others,' with the later work of Hicks2 and Samuelson.:3 The problem can be expressed in its simplest form as follows.
