  1. Ch. 12 Optimization with Equality Constraints • 12.1 Effects of a Constraint • 12.2 Finding the Stationary Values • 12.3 Second-Order Conditions • 12.4 Quasi-concavity and Quasi-convexity • 12.5 Utility Maximization and Consumer Demand • 12.6 Homogeneous Functions • 12.7 Least-Cost Combination of Inputs • 12.8 Some concluding remarks

  2. 12.2-2 Total-differential approach • dL = fxdx + fydy = 0 differential of L=f(x,y) • dg = gxdx + gydy = 0 differential of g=g(x,y) • dx & dy dependent on each other • dy/dx = -fx/ fy slope of isoquant curve • dy/dx = -gx/gy slope of the constraint line • -gx /gy = -fx/ fyequal at the tangent • fx/ gx = fy /gy = equi-marginal principle

  3. 12.2 Finding the Stationary Values • 12.2-1 Lagrange-multiplier method • 12.2-2 Total-differential approach • 12.2-3 An interpretation of the Lagrange multiplier • 12.2-4 n-variable and multi-constraint case

  8. 12.3-1 Second-order total differential •  has no effect on the value of Z* because the constraint equals zero but … • A new set of second-order conditions are needed • The constraint changes the criterion for a relative max. or min.
