| Abstract: | A kind of "unified theory" is proposed as a dynamic generalization of the standard consumersurplus methodology for evaluating welfare changes. The "unified theory" allows rigorous dynamic welfare comparisons to be inferred between any two economic situations - from just knowing current incomes and observing a short-run market demand schedule. |
