Consider a consumer with CES utility u(x1; x2) = x 1 + x 2. (a) Does this consumer have preferences the "increasing di§erence property" between the two goods? How about the strict increasing di§erence property? Make a detailed argument. (b) for the case that = :5; show using the arguments on monotone com- parative statics in class that both goods are normal.
