* For a Hicksian demand curve, hypothetical price vector changes produce changes in quantities determined that have only **substitution** effects

185185
* changes in the price vector leave the $p^e + W$ unaltered because we freeze $\mu$ and solve for $W$

Sometimes a Hicksian demand curve is called a **compensated** demand curve in order to emphasize that, to disarm the income (or wealth) effect associated with a price change, the consumer's wealth $W$ is adjusted.
