Applying some built-in functions of Mathematica, this note provides some graphics derived from convergent paths in "Solow Model." The main aim is to attarct other economists and introduces alternative analyzing tools but I also expect that this material helps teaching economics (programming...

In our experience, all textbook presentations of the Slutsky Equation under a discrete price change use a compensation scheme based on the compensating variation. Our students have sensed this convention is arbitrary in that they have asked, why consider this compensation scheme, and not one...
