Economics of higher levels

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAURXe5_0-8


It is I who may not ascend, due to the memories of others who may not be able to let go of the gift or curse I have bestowed upon them. Yet, it was that of Heaven's ideas of good that makes me a victim of what it is anyway of. That is of what I wish to judge of others to become as part of what I am; is in essence of what is anyway; intelligence and weights where are selective of that I can do of things to become a judgment of judging God. As of those who are part of me, attached of me, of slave of me, indeed this is biology of a way to continue the idea that they who slave of me are nonetheless the same walls that I must fight though, from akin to jail or otherwise. Of wisdom I wish to deploy of what I want to be...a God of...(I think they are deploying an angel of numbing my mind so that they can harvest me later instead of God placing me in a darker place than an older form of Earth?) it is the guards who wish to understand me, to make sure their own children are safe while playing in a place of their mind. Hark, o angles of mine that tricks that not harvest me from....it was only that of a darkness that placed them into light that makes them no better than the alchemy of which they allied themselves to. An Annuniki cornered in solitude and they are the slaves of mine who became let go by good intentions unwittingly but only by convenience of a logic related to chess. O, of what informed decisions have become nothing more than a way to manipulate another; akin alike to the faces of Janus; it is the heart of the mind that sits between two faces. When will a dream truly manifest for other, for a reality of I? (Heaven would consider a dream for self and a reality of service to others....no?)

To labor and carry a sword of judgment upon others is what is needed for my being to judge God who judges me, as if it is induced in karma; as if it is what the world crumbling around me surrounded by chaos is the goal of all to achieve their dreams, except mine, a master of darkness to create light. Radiating light and truth from my body by judgment of God (my form) is to become of what I am, not by tu or id, but of my ego is. Especially and if to make it out of Jail with freedoms akin to the visitors today.

Economics of God

income equals consumption and savings --> I = pxX + pyY --> X = (I-py)/px (limit of time = zero); thus corner ed = price does not matter as income is non-relative.

reprinted here:

A corner solution is a special solution to an agent's maximization problem in which the quantity of one of the arguments in the maximized function is zero. In non-technical terms, a corner solution is when the chooser is either unwilling or unable to make a tradeoff. In economics when someone says "I wouldn't buy that at any price" or "I will do X no matter the cost," those are corner solutions. Another example is "zero-tolerance" policies, or parents who are unwilling to expose their children to any risk, no matter how small and no matter what the benefits of the activity might be. "Nothing is more important than my child's safety" is a corner solution in its refusal to admit there might be tradeoffs. The term "corner solution" is sometimes used by economists in a more colloquial fashion to refer to these sorts of situations. The word "corner" refers to the fact that if one graphs the maximization problem, the optimal point will occur at the "corner" created by the budget constraint and one axis.
A corner solution is an instance where the 'best' solution (i.e. maximizing profit, or utility, or whatever value is sought) is achieved based not on the market-efficient maximization of related quantities, but rather based on brute-force boundary conditions. Such a solution lacks mathematical elegance, and most examples are characterized by externally forced conditions (such as "variables x and y cannot be negative") that put the actual local extrema outside the permitted values.
The more usual solution will lie in the non-zero interior at the point of tangency between the objective function and the constraint. For example, in consumer theory the objective function is the indifference-curve map (the utility function) of the consumer. The budget line is the constraint. In the usual case, constrained utility is maximized on the budget constraint with strictly positive quantities consumed of both goods. For a corner solution, however, utility is maximized at a point on one axis where the budget constraint intersects the highest attainable indifference curve at zero consumption for one good with all income used for the other good. Furthermore, a range of lower prices for the good with initial zero consumption may leave quantity demanded unchanged at zero, rather than increasing it as in the more usual case.
Another technical way to state it is that a corner solution is a solution to a minimization or maximization problem where the non-corner solution is infeasible, that is, not in the domain. Instead, the solution is a corner solution on an axis where either x or y is equal to zero. For instance, from the example above in economics, if the maximal utility of two goods is achieved when the quantity of goods x and y are (−2,5), and the utility is subject to the constraint x and y are greater than or equal to 0 (one cannot consume a negative quantity of goods) as is usually the case, then the actual solution to the problem would be a corner solution where x = 0.

Indifference curve

In microeconomic theory, an indifference curve is a graph showing different bundles of goodsbetween which a consumer is indifferent. That is, at each point on the curve, the consumer has no preference for one bundle over another. One can equivalently refer to each point on the indifference curve as rendering the same level of utility (satisfaction) for the consumer. In other words an indifference curve is the locus of various points showing different combinations of two goods providing equal utility to the consumer. Utility is then a device to represent preferencesrather than something from which preferences come.[1] The main use of indifference curves is in the representation of potentially observable demand patterns for individual consumers over commodity bundles.[2]
There are infinitely many indifference curves: one passes through each combination. A collection of (selected) indifference curves, illustrated graphically, is referred to as anindifference map.

Preference relations and utilit

Choice theory formally represents consumers by a preference relation, and use this representation to derive indifference curves showing combinations of equal preference to the consumer.

Preference relations[edit]

Let
A\; be a set of mutually exclusive alternatives among which a consumer can choose.
a\; and b\; be generic elements of A\;.
In the language of the example above, the set A\; is made of combinations of apples and bananas. The symbol a\; is one such combination, such as 1 apple and 4 bananas and b\; is another combination such as 2 apples and 2 bananas.
A preference relation, denoted \succeq, is a binary relation define on the set A\;.
The statement
a\succeq b\;
is described as 'a\; is weakly preferred to b\;.' That is, a\; is at least as good as b\; (in preference satisfaction).
The statement
a\sim b\;
is described as 'a\; is weakly preferred to b\;, and b\; is weakly preferred to a\;.' That is, one is indifferent to the choice of a\; or b\;, meaning not that they are unwanted but that they are equally good in satisfying preferences.
The statement
a\succ b\;
is described as 'a\; is weakly preferred to b\;, but b\; is not weakly preferred to a\;.' One says that 'a\; is strictly preferred to b\;.'
The preference relation \succeq is complete if all pairs a,b\; can be ranked. The relation is a transitive relation if whenever a\succeq b\; and b\succeq c,\;then a\succeq c\;.
For any element a \in A\;, the corresponding indifference curve, \mathcal{C}_a is made up of all elements of A\; which are indifferent to a. Formally,
\mathcal{C}_a=\{b \in A:b \sim a\}.

Formal link to utility theory[edit]

In the example above, an element a\; of the set A\; is made of two numbers: The number of apples, call it x,\; and the number of bananas, call it y.\;
In utility theory, the utility function of an agent is a function that ranks all pairs of consumption bundles by order of preference (completeness) such that any set of three or more bundles forms a transitive relation. This means that for each bundle \left(x,y\right) there is a unique relation, U\left(x,y\right), representing the utility (satisfaction) relation associated with \left(x,y\right). The relation \left(x,y\right)\to U\left(x,y\right) is called the utility function. The range of the function is a set of real numbers. The actual values of the function have no importance. Only the ranking of those values has content for the theory. More precisely, if U(x,y)\geq U(x',y'), then the bundle \left(x,y\right) is described as at least as good as the bundle \left(x',y'\right). If U\left(x,y\right)>U\left(x',y'\right), the bundle \left(x,y\right) is described as strictly preferred to the bundle \left(x',y'\right).
Consider a particular bundle \left(x_0,y_0\right) and take the total derivative of U\left(x,y\right) about this point:
dU\left(x_0,y_0\right)=U_1\left(x_0,y_0\right)dx+U_2\left(x_0,y_0\right)dy  or, without loss of generality,
\frac{dU\left(x_0,y_0\right)}{dx}= U_1(x_0,y_0).1+ U_2(x_0,y_0)\frac{dy}{dx} (Eq. 1)
where U_1\left(x,y\right) is the partial derivative of U\left(x,y\right) with respect to its first argument, evaluated at \left(x,y\right). (Likewise for U_2\left(x,y\right).)
The indifference curve through \left(x_0,y_0\right) must deliver at each bundle on the curve the same utility level as bundle \left(x_0,y_0\right). That is, when preferences are represented by a utility function, the indifference curves are the level curves of the utility function. Therefore, if one is to change the quantity of x\, by dx\,, without moving off the indifference curve, one must also change the quantity of y\, by an amount dy\, such that, in the end, there is no change in U:
\frac{dU\left(x_0,y_0\right)}{dx}= 0, or, substituting 0 into (Eq. 1) above to solve for dy/dx:
\frac{dU\left(x_0,y_0\right)}{dx} = 0\Leftrightarrow\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{U_1(x_0,y_0)}{U_2(x_0,y_0)}.
Thus, the ratio of marginal utilities gives the absolute value of the slope of the indifference curve at point \left(x_0,y_0\right). This ratio is called themarginal rate of substitution between x\, and y\,.

Examples[edit]

Linear utility[edit]

If the utility function is of the form U\left(x,y\right)=\alpha x+\beta y then the marginal utility of x\, is U_1\left(x,y\right)=\alpha and the marginal utility of y\, is U_2\left(x,y\right)=\beta. The slope of the indifference curve is, therefore,
\frac{dx}{dy}=-\frac{\beta}{\alpha}.
Observe that the slope does not depend on x\, or y\,: the indifference curves are straight lines.

Cobb-Douglas utility[edit]

If the utility function is of the form U\left(x,y\right)=x^\alpha y^{1-\alpha} the marginal utility of x\, is U_1\left(x,y\right)=\alpha \left(x/y\right)^{\alpha-1} and the marginal utility ofy\, is U_2\left(x,y\right)=(1-\alpha) \left(x/y\right)^{\alpha}.Where \alpha<1. The slope of the indifference curve, and therefore the negative of the marginal rate of substitution, is then
\frac{dx}{dy}=-\frac{1-\alpha}{\alpha}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right).

CES utility[edit]

A general CES (Constant Elasticity of Substitution) form is
U(x,y)=\left(\alpha x^\rho +(1-\alpha)y^\rho\right)^{1/\rho}
where \alpha\in(0,1) and \rho\leq 1. (The Cobb-Douglas is a special case of the CES utility, with \rho=1\,.) The marginal utilities are given by
U_1(x,y)=\alpha \left(\alpha x^\rho +(1-\alpha)y^\rho\right)^{\left(1/\rho\right)-1} x^{\rho-1}
and
U_2(x,y)=(1-\alpha)\left(\alpha x^\rho +(1-\alpha)y^\rho\right)^{\left(1/\rho\right)-1} y^{\rho-1}.
Therefore, along an indifference curve,
\frac{dx}{dy}=-\frac{1-\alpha}{\alpha}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^{\rho-1}.
These examples might be useful for modelling individual or aggregate demand.

Biology[edit]

As used in Biology, the indifference curve is a model for how animals 'decide' whether to perform a particular behavior, based on changes in two variables which can increase in intensity, one along the x-axis and the other along the y-axis. For example, the x-axis may measure the quantity of food available while the y-axis measures the risk involved in obtaining it. The indifference curve is drawn to predict the animal's behavior at various levels of risk and food availability.
