indirect utility function are utility maximization problem (UMP) and expenditure minimization problem (EMP). The UMP considers a consumer who wants to gain the maximum utility given wealth w. The EMP considers a consumer who wants to find a cheapest way to reach a certain level of utility. In both EMP and UMP consumers are assumed to have locally nonsatiated preferences.

in the market. This means that prices are such that demand is equivalent to the supply for each good. Consumers trying to maximize their utility and producers trying to maximize their profit are satisfied with what they are getting. Competitive equilibrium may fail to exist if consumers are satiated,

The indirect utility function is a function of commodity prices and the consumer's income or budget. Indirect utility function v(p, w) where p is a vector of commodity prices, and w is an amount of income. Important assumption is that consumers have locally nonsatiated preferences. Related to the
275:, as an important property often assumed in theorems and propositions. Consumer theory is a study of how individuals make decisions and spend their money based on their preferences and budget. Local nonsatiation is also a key assumption for the First welfare theorem. 299:
Local nonsatiation is a key assumption in the Walras’ law theorem. Walras's law says that if consumers have locally nonsatiated preferences, they will consume their entire budget over their lifetime.

is on a section of a bounded consumption set sufficiently far away from the ends. Near the ends of a bounded set, there would necessarily be a bliss point where local nonsatiation does not hold.
164: 100: 126: 74: 204: 184: 289:. The indifference curve is named so because the consumer would be indifferent between choosing any of these bundles. The indifference curves are not thick. 353:
The first fundamental theorem of welfare economics states that any competitive equilibrium in a market, where consumers are locally nonsatiated is
412: 541: 328:. Also shows the response of Marshallian demand to price changes. Preferences are supposed to be locally nonsatiated. 470: 389: 357:(pareto optimal is when no changes in economy can make one party better off without making another party worse off). 546: 131: 325: 524: 79: 437: 303: 43:
of goods there is always another bundle of goods arbitrarily close that is strictly preferred to it.

An indifference curve is a set of all commodity bundles providing consumers with the same level of

Illustration of preferences that are locally nonsatiated but not strongly monotonic.
