在看the structure of economics--a mathematical analysis(上海财大出版社)英文版51页这个专题时对作者要表述的意思不是很明确: 51页倒数第8行开始解释的 the marginal value of either good (or factor) declines along that curve...时候是否是说f1相对f2下降,但此时为何是f1 (is) declining relative to the benefits of having some more x2, measured by f2 at the margin?毕竟dX2/dX1应该是保持在同一条level curve(定义为convex)上,则若X1上升,X2需下降。
然后下面紧接着的the opposite assumption和52页上边讲经济学家作出凸性假设的原因也不是很懂,希望大家指教:)
