线性收入-消费曲线在经济学的几个分支中突然出现（1）。在本文中，我们将探讨偏好场的某些性质，特别是对每种商品的边际消费倾向为绝对常数的偏好场的性质，并将讨论其在国际贸易理论中的应用。如果收入消费曲线在闭正正交线上是线性的，那么它们都将通过原点（"）。因此，潜在的效用函数将是齐次的（"）。由于齐次函数的性质为经济学家所熟知，我们将把注意力限制在正正交点内部的一个区域上，为了简单起见，我们将这一区域取为两个无差异曲面（"）之间的区域R：0 5 u <U。通过取U = CQ，我们将能够考虑上面的整个区域
Linear income-consumption curves crop up in several branches of economics (l). In this note we will explore some of the properties of the preference fields in which they arise, and, in particular, of those in which the marginal propensity to consume each good is an absolute constant, and will discuss an application to international trade theory.If the income consumption curves were linear throughout the closed positive orthant, they would all pass through the origin ("). The underlying utility function would then be homogeneous ("). Since the properties of homogeneous functions are well known to economists, we-will confine our attention to a region in the interior of the positive orthant, and, for simplicity, we will take this to be the region R: 0 5 u _< U between two indifference surfaces ("). By taking U= CQ we will be able to consider the whole region above
