Differential duality

Andrea Mantovi ()

No 2013-EP05, Economics Department Working Papers from Department of Economics, Parma University (Italy)

Abstract: A framework for duality theory is set forth, based on the model-independent role of homotheties. An expansion vector field is introduced as global generator of pure expansion effects, in terms of which to deepen the differential aspects of preference symmetries, fundamental identities and conjugation in connection with the benchmark nature of homothetic models. Potential lines of progress are envisaged.
