Differential and Absolute Rent Karl Marx agreed with Ricardo's concept of rent in principle, although he pointed out that Ricardo had missed an important component of rent.
Suppose that there are two commodities G and q, as before. Again, G is chosen to be the numeraire good so that changes in welfare can be measured in its terms. ,. We then define the compensating variation of the price increase as the amount of money - measured in terms of G - required to compensate the individual for the higher price of q so that the individual is able to maintain the initial level of utility. 4. 4, the price increase in q causes the consumer to purchase commodity bundle Qt on U^ rather than bundle Q0 on U0.
He or she now consumes ql units of q. The combination (qv Pj) constitutes an additional point on the compensated demand function (in addition to point (qQ, P0)). A third point on the 35 36 Theoretical Considerations compensated demand function is found by reducing the price to P2 (P2 < P0). The slope of the budget line in the upper portion of the diagram is less steep, and income must now be taken away from the consumer in order to get him or her back to the original indifference curve. The amount that needs to be taken away is given by the distance AC on the vertical axis (since income is measured in units of G).
