Buying and Selling
Maximization Program
• Max U(x1, x2)
• Subject to p1x1+p2x2= p1x10 +p 2x2

• Endowment, price ratio, and U jointly determine whether you will be acting as a seller or a buyer.
Factors affecting the budget line
• Endowment (shifting the budget line without changing the slope). It produces an income effect.
• Prices (rotating the budget line around the endowment point). It produces both substitution and income effects.

Buyer or Seller as Price Changes
• The following diagram shows that you remain as a seller in the x1 market.
• A further decrease in p1 may move you from a seller to a buyer in the x1 market.
• Derive the demand for x1 for a model with initial endowments.
