Introduction

In both micro and macroeconomic contexts, optimization is a frequently relied upon tool. We use it to maximize profits, minimize costs, etc.

We break optimization down into two types:

Unconstrained Optimization deals with situations where we seek to either maximize or minimize one or several variables without any restrictions on the values they can take. Constrained Optimization, on the other hand, imposes limits on the values that our variables can take. Things like budget constraints, production functions, etc.

profit maximization function. Suppose a monopolist served a market that faced the inverse demand function of ݌ൌʹͷͲെʹݍand a constant marginal cost of production of ܿ

What value of ݍ

What is the corresponding price and profit level?

We already know that the monopolist can set his

marginal revenue equal to his marginal costs and determine his optimal quantity that way.

Unconstrained Optimization

To properly set up an optimization problem, we need a few elements:

First, we need to define the problem. This is a

Next, we need to list the choice variables; the ones that we are optimizing for. In this case, there is only one, ݍ. We list these variables under our optimization condition.

4Eric Dunawayepdunaway@gmail.com

Unconstrained Optimization

Lastly, we list our objective function. This is the goal of the problem. In this case, the monopolist is maximizing his profits,

Substituting,

of production is constant) to further expand on this, obtaining,

Unconstrained Optimization

Once here, we are ready to calculate our first-order (and second-order, if need be) conditions. Being able to set up a problem this way will keep you organized and reduce the likelihood of making mistakes going forward. As a tip, the first thing you should do when facing an optimization problem is to clearly define the problem. Make sure you consider all the variables of interest as well as properly defining the objective function.

Unconstrained Optimization

When we calculate first-order conditions, we take the derivative of the objective function for each of our choice variables, then set it equal to zero (since that is where a maximum or minimum occurs). Thus, we calculate the derivative of our profit function with respect to ݍ, since that is our only choice variable, then we set it equal to zero. marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

7Eric Dunawayepdunaway@gmail.com

Unconstrained Optimization

From here, we simply solve this equation for ݍto find our equilibrium.

Rearranging terms,

Lastly, dividing both sides by 4, we obtain our equilibrium quantity,

If we wanted to, we could go back and calculate our equilibrium price and profit level from this information.

8Eric Dunawayepdunaway@gmail.com

Unconstrained Optimization

Recall that for this value of ݍto be a maximum (rather than a minimum), the second derivative must be negative.

We can calculate the second derivative by just

differentiating this function one more time, Since this function is negative for every possible value of ݍ, we know that we have a maximum.

9Eric Dunawayepdunaway@gmail.com

Unconstrained Optimization

Now we can calculate our equilibrium price and profit level.

We find our equilibrium price by plugging the

equilibrium quantity back into the inverse demand function, Lastly, we obtain our profit level by plugging the equilibrium quantity back into the profit function,
