Popis: Currently, the consumer’s price of utility, which is integral to the consumer’s or Frischian static profit function, is viewed as exogenous to the profit-maximization decision. The present note challenges this perspective by demonstrating that if the consumer is a profit maximizer, then the consumer’s price of utility is endogenous to the decision-making process.
