The money metric is thus the expenditure the consumer would need at reference prices to be as well of as if facing the scenario prices at reference income. The difference of money metric for a given scenario to money metric in the reference situation is the equivalent variation. ​ Where //e//(.) is the expenditure function, $Y^r$ is expenditure in the reference situation, and $cpri^r (cpri^s)$ is the price vector in the reference (scenario) situation.
