α: calibrated so average coauthorship-adjusted count equals average raw count
We formalize the Marshallian idea that when the proportion of income spent on any commodity is small then the income effects are small. If n is the number of goods, we show, under certain assumptions on preferences and prices, that the order of magnitude of the norm of the income derivative of demand is 1/√n. As a corollary we get that for the case of a single price change the percentage error in approximating the Hicksian Deadweight Loss by its Marshallian counterpart goes to zero at least at the rate 1/√n and that demand is downward sloping for n large enough.
