Hicksiaanse

Hicksiaanse is a Dutch-language term used to describe ideas, methods, or approaches that derive from or are influenced by the work of the British economist John Hicks (1904–1989). The form is the adjectival form corresponding to "Hicksian" in English and is commonly found in Dutch economics writing to denote Hicksian concepts or perspectives.

In microeconomics, Hicksiaanse analysis often refers to the consumer theory and welfare analysis associated with Hicks. A central distinction in this tradition is between Marshallian (uncompensated) demand and Hicksian (compensated) demand, where the Hicksian approach keeps utility constant to isolate substitution effects from income effects. The Hicksian framework also underpins certain welfare measurements and methods for analyzing how changes in prices affect well-being.

In macroeconomics, the influence of Hicks is linked to the IS–LM framework, which Hicks helped reinterpret as a Keynesian-style model of equilibrium in goods and money markets. In Dutch-language texts, discussions of this macroeconomic approach may be described as Hicksiaanse or described using related terminology.

Usage and scope: Hicksiaanse is primarily encountered in Dutch-language economics literature and is less common in English-language texts, where the term "Hicksian" or "Hicksian analysis" is standard. The term serves to situate a discussion within Hicks’s theoretical lineage, whether in consumer theory, welfare economics, or macroeconomic interpretation.
