- In an exchange economy, there are two people (Shadi and Nino) and two goods (x1 and x2). Their initial endowments are ωS = (2, 4) and ωN = (3, 6). Their utility is given by the following functions: US(x1,x2) = x12x23 and UN(x1,x2) = x1x24. Which of the following is the equation for the contract curve? Group of answer choices a. x2N = 96x1N / (15 + 4x1N) b. x2N = 47x1N / (8 + 4x1N) c. x2N = 91x1N / 5 d. x2N = 16x1N / (3 + x1N) e. x2N = 41x1N / (9 + x1N)Consider an exchange economy with 2 agents and 2 goods. In an Edgeworth-Bowley diagram, show and illustrate that if both agents have the same preferences, the contract curve is a straight line from the bottom left-hand corner to the top right-hand corner. Does it follow that if the agents do not have the same preferences, the contract curve is not a straight line? Suppose the two agents have the same endowments and the same preferences. Is mutually beneficial trade possible? Illustrate in an Edgeworth Bowley diagram. State and explain Walras Law. What are the implications of Walras’s Law? Illustrate Walras Law in an Edgeworth-Bowley diagram.1. a) Consider an economy with 3 agents, Mohammed (M), David (D) and Susan (S). There are two goods available, good x, and good y. The marginal rates of substitution (where good x is on the horizontal axis and good y is on the vertical axis) are given by for Mohammed, for David and for Mohammed and David are both consuming twice as much of the good x than good y, while Susan is consuming equal amounts of x and y. What are the conditions for Pareto efficiency in an exchange economy? Are these consumption levels economically efficient? Can these consumption allocations be observed in a perfectly competitive equilibrium in an exchange economy without production? Explain. b. There are two firms in the economy. Each firm employs positive amounts of capital and labour. The technology satisfies diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution of labour for capital. Currently, A’s marginal rate of technical substitution of labour for capital is 4 while B’s marginal rate of technical…
- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Consider an exchange economy consisting of two people, A and B, endowed with two goods, 1 and 2. Person A is initially endowed with ωA = (0,10) and person B is initially endowed with ωB = (11,0). They have identical preferences, which are given by U^A(x1,x2) = U^B(x1,x2) = x1^2*x2. Suppose that p2 =1. Under the competitive equilibrium, what is p1? Round answers to two decimal places.Use the Fundamental Theorem of Exchange and draw Edgeworth Box diagrams to show the conditions necessary for an 'efficient' allocation of two goods between two individuals. Use this model o evaluate the statement: "If two individuals have identical endowments of both goods there are no possible gains from trade". Hint: you need to develop your explanation of the theory and the efficiency conditions step-by-step. You need to draw several diagrams showing Edgeworth Box (rather than drawing one complicated crowded diagram).1. Write down an exchange economy model with two individuals and two goods, in whichthere is no consumption externality. State and explain the key assumptions of the model.Using the model, answer the following questions:(a) Explain carefully how the concept of Pareto efficiency differs from that of socialwelfare.(b) State the Second Theorem of Welfare Economics and explain carefully why it holds.What is the importance of the assumption of convex preferences to this theorem?

What is the role of the utilitypossibility frontier in the social welfare maximization problem of a welfarist society?Problem 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.Jane has 11 liters of soft drinks and 10 sandwiches. Bob, on the other hand, has 9 liters of soft drinks and 10 sandwiches. With these endowments, Jane's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of soft drinks for sandwiches is 6 and Bob's MRS is equal to 8. Draw an Edgeworth box diagram to show whether this allocation of resources is efficient. If it is explain why. If it is not, what changes will make both parties better off? Part 2 1.) Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, draw an indifference curve for Jane when consuming 11 liters of soft drinks and 10 sandwiches. Label this curve UJ. 2.) Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, draw an indifference curve for Bob when consuming 9 liters of soft drinks and 10 sandwiches. Label this curve UB.
- Consider a two-person exchange economy in which person 1 owns 200 units of x and 100 units of y while person 2 owns 100 units of x and 200 units y. Suppose their preferences over the two goods can be represented as: U1 (x, y) = y + 50Inx U2 (x, y) = y + 150lnx 1. How much of x do they trade among each other? 2. Does the First Welfare Theorem (FWT) hold in this economy?Explain why an economy in which airlines charge different passengers different prices for the same flight will not have exchange efficiency. b. Going back to our two good (Apples, Oranges), two person (Ed, Mary) economy, suppose that at a given allocation, Ed’s MRSAO is 3 and Mary’s MRSAO is 1. Use proof by contradiction to show that this allocation is not exchange efficient. Identify a trade that will increase the utility of Ed and Mary. Explain. Show this graphically (with indifference curves). Going back to our two good (Apples, Oranges), two person (Ed, Mary) economy, suppose that at a given allocation, Ed’s MRSAO is 3 and Mary’s MRSAO is 1. Use proof by contradiction to show that this allocation is not exchange efficient. Identify a trade that will increase the utility of Ed and Mary. Explain. Show this graphically (with indifference curves).Consider a two-agent two-good barter economy. Agent 1 only cares about good 1, and agent 2only cares about good 2. There is only 1 unit of good 1, and 2 units of good 2 in the economy,which is distributed equally between the agents while agent 1 owns the only unit of good 1 inthe economy.a. Compute and explain the Pareto optimal allocations.b. Compute and explain the equilibrium prices and allocations.c. How would your answers to parts a and b change if agent 1 shared half of his good 1 withagent 2? Discuss.
