by finding the partial derivatives of the utility function. 1.1.2 Example: testing for convexity with a Cobb-Douglas utility function A Cobb-Douglas utility function has the form u(x1 ‚ x2 ) = xa xb where a > 0 and b > 0. Here u(x1 ‚ x2 ) = 12 2/5 3/5 x1 x2 . Assuming that x1 > 0 and x2 > 0 the partial derivatives are ∂u ∂x1 ∂u ∂x2 = = 2 −3/5 3/5 x2 > 0 x 51 3 2/5 −2/5 > 0. xx 51 2 (1) (2) You should note that because the partial derivatives are both strictly1 positive

From there‚ banks sold derivatives on all portfolios by synthetic investment. Investors were able to invest in credit default swap and make it grow. Credit then became a more available asset which stroke employment. Now all banks wanted credit derivatives; which are privately held negotiable contracts that allow consumers to manage their exposure to credit risk.
