- Chris and Dana live in an exchange economy with two goods: good Q and good R. Chris starts off with an endowment of 6 units of Q and 10 units of R. Dana starts off with an endowment of 8 units of Q and 8 units of R. Suppose that the price of good R is pR=1 and the price of good Q is pQ=2. a )At these prices, does the market clear? Yes or no? Explain your answer. b) What relationship must hold between the consumption of each agent and the price of the two goods at the market clearing equilibrium? Write the equationConsider a two-person exchange economy in which initial endowments for both individuals are such that (e1 = e1) = (1,1). Suppose the two individuals have the following indirect utility functions: V1 (x, y) = ln M1 - a ln Px - (1-a) ln Py V2 (x, y) = ln M2 -b ln Px - (1-b) ln Py Where Mi is the income level of person i and Px and Py are the prices for goods x and goods y, respectively. a) Calculate the market clearing prices.20. In the graph above, point E represents the autarkic equilibrium of a country in an endowment model. Both black and red curves are indifferences curves of consumers with identical homoethic preferences. If this country opens up to trade and world prices are given by the slope of the red line, then Question 20 options: a) this country will import clothing and export food b) this country will export clothing and import food c) there is no trade in the new equilibrium d) this counry will import and export clothing
- In an exchange economy there are two people (A and B), and two goods (x and y). Their respective utility functions and endowments are: UA(xA,yA) =5xA+yA , UB(xB,yB)=xB+5yB; wA=wB=(10,10). What is the minimum possible amounts of xA in the core? Round your answer to 2 decimal points. The answer is 12, please explain.Consider a pure exchange economy, where each consumer has preferences described by a Cobb-Douglas utility function. Both consumers have exactly the same endowment. In such an economy, an equitable distribution of goods (where each individual consumes exactly half of each good) is a Walrasian equilibrium allocation? a. always, for any consumers' preferences b. only if consumers' preferences are exactly the same c. Never d. None of the aboveAn exchange economy consists of two individuals and two goods. The two individuals have the following Leontief utility functions: Person 1: U1(x1, y1) = 3x1 + y1 Person 2: U2(x2, y2) = x2 + 2y2 Person 1 has an endowment of e1 = (3, 2). Person 2’s endowment is e1 = (3, 4). In an Edgeworth Box diagram, show which allocations are in the core. Describe the set of Pareto optimal allocations (i.e. the contract curve) in the Edgeworth Box. Illustrate the contract curve in an Edgeworth Box diagram. Let good y be the numeraire (i.e. set py = 1 and let px = p). What price ratio(s) P* will support a competitive equilibrium allocation for this economy?

There are 2 consumers and 2 goods. Consumer 1 has an endowment of 3 units of good Y, while consumer 2 has an endowment of 3 units of good X. For both consumers the utility function is given by: U (x, v) = x^2y, where x and y denote the respective quantities of goods X and Y. Find the Walrasian equilibrium price ratio P/Pr and the Walrasian allocations. Does trade take place in equilibrium? i want answer in 1 hour. if you provide solution within time, i will upvote. thanks in advanceBluth’s preferences for paper and houses can be expressed as Ub(p, h) = 2pb + hb, while Scott’s preferences can be expressed as Us(p, h) = ps + 2bs. Bluth begins with no paper and 10 houses, whereas Scott begins with 10 units of paper and no houses. 1. Is the starting endowment Pareto efficient? Justify your answer using an Edgeworth box? Determine whether each of the following price pairs is consistent with a competitive equilibrium. If yes, determine the resulting allocation of goods, sketching that equi- librium in your Edgeworth box. If not, explain why not (for what good is there a shortage, for what good is there a surplus?) pp =$3 and ph =$1 along with pp =$1 and ph =$1 Assume that the price of houses is $1. Given that price, determine the highest price pp that is consistent with a competitive equilibrium.
- consider an exchange economy with 2 goods (1 and 2) and 2 consumer (A and B). a bundle with x units of good 1 and y units of good 2 is written as (x,y). consumer A has an endowment (4,0) and consumer B has an endowment (12,12). the 2 goods are perfect substitutes for each consumer. consider an allocation in which A receives (1,9) and B receives (15,3) if we can redistribute endowments suitably, it is possible to obtain this allocation as the outcome of a competitive equilibrium. is this true or false? explain carefullyState the first theorem of welfare economics of a production and exchange economy. Which conditions must be satisfied for the Pareto efficiency of an allocation of a production and exchange economy (assuming that all goods are used, produced and consumed in strictly positive quantities)? Discuss and explainProblem 5 Consider an exchange economy with two people: Will and Bob; and two goods: apples and bananas. Will's initial endowment is 10 apples and 5 bananas. Bob's initial endowment is 5 apples and 10 bananas. Will likes apples and hates bananas. Bob likes both apples and bananas. The preferences of both Will and Bob are strictly convex. (a) Draw an Edgeworth Box with apples on the horizontal axes. Put Will at the bottom left corner and Bob at the top right corner. Show the initial endowment and label it with W.
