We present a theoretical review of the literature on concrete utility functions for Giffen and inferior goods within the context of the utility maximisation problem under a budget restriction and provide new functional forms. The presentation is organised around the specific properties such utility functions have. These properties include strict increasingness, quasi-concavity, and the applicability of Gossen’s second law
We study increasing quasiconcave functions which are co-radiant. Such functions have frequently been...
