Compensating variation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In economics, compensating variation (CV) is a measure of utility change introduced by John Hicks (1939). 'Compensating variation' refers to the amount of additional money an agent would need to rea...

The last expression is known as the "expenditure function" corresponding to her utility function. It is the key to the compensating variation calculation.

Compensating variation and equivalent variation are two different answers to the question: How much of a change in income is necessary to offset a change in price so that a consumer's utility remains at a given level?

Downloadable (with restrictions)! Hicksian welfare theory is static in nature, but many decisions are made in a dynamic environment. We present a dynamic model of an agent's decision to purchase or sell a good under the realistic conditions of uncertainty, irreversibility, and learning over time. ... Catherine Louise Kling...

Consequently, the standard Hicksian equivalence between WTP and compensating and equivalent variation no longer holds. This finding has important practical implications because it implies that observed WTP values are not always appropriate for welfare analysis.

For a large class of additive random utility discrete choice models with income effects, we compute the probability distribution of the compensating variation. We show that the cumulative distribution function only depends on the choice probabilities.

An exact formula for the expected compensating variation is derived for logit and nested-logit models with income effects. Intuition, examples, and an application are provided. The appendix contains a formal proof.
