Abstract
This document shows how to add another parameter to a Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) utility function, derive demand functions, and solve for indirect utility and expenditure functions for the evaluation of money metric utility welfare changes from a price or tax change. It also shows how to calibrate the model, by solving backwards for the parameters that must have existed to generate the observed data.
