Assume that the denominator is positive (due to uniqueness and slope, see Var-
ian (1992) p 288-289).
The sign of the denominator is determined by
∂2NB1 ∂2NB2
∂q1 ∂a ∂q22
The second term is negative (NB is concave in q), hence, we have that
∂q1 ∂2NB1
sign = sign ɔ ɔ .
∂a ∂q1 ∂a
We are, however, more interested in
∂q2
Sign 2 .
