Abstract

This note outlines a simple routine for evaluation of consumer demand under disequilibrium (shortage of some commodities) when the representative consumer's preferences are characterized by a cost function, or an indirect utility function consistent with the conventional theory of consumer behavior. The routine may be applied whenever the explicit form of the direct utility cannot be easily derived from the indirect utility function.
