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.

A) The total abatement is maximised under the cap and trade equilibrium. B) In the cap and trade equilibrium, Firm B’s gains from trade is (P* – P A) x (E X – E*/2)/2. C) Under the 50:50 split, Firm A’s total cost of abatement is given by PA x E*/2. D) Under cap and trade, Firm B pays Firm A an amount P* x (E X – E*/2), where E X is the abatement of Firm A after trade.
For an exhaustible resource A. The dynamically efficient allocation is consistent with equalizing the marginal benefits of extracting the resource to the marginal costs of extraction over time B. All market failures we discussed resulted in exhaustible resources being extracted faster than is socially optimal C. The ending price, after extraction is equal, is the minimum of something called a choke price and the price of a substitute D. The choke price can never be infinite if MC of extraction are positive..
Please answer parts c, d and e only Andy owns a valuable postage stamp he values at 1,000 dollars. Betty wants to add this stamp to her collection and is willing to pay 1,200 dollars for it. By email, Andy and Betty reach an agreement that Andy will sell Betty this rare stamp for 1,100 dollars. Christine contacts Andy and offers to pay 1.500 to Andy for the stamp because Christine values this stamp at 1,800 dollars. (a) What surplus amount was generated by the original email contract? Why is this amount suboptimal? (b) Andy contacts Betty by email and advises her that he wants a higher price from her because Christine has offered 1,500 dollars for the stamp. Instead of renegotiation, Betty tells Andy that she will be seeking specific performance, a court order that Andy perform the original 1,100 dollar contract. How will specific performance affect the allocation and redistribution of surplus among Andy, Betty and Christine? If transaction costs = 0, would there be a renegotiated…

Where there is no relaible external market and limited spare capacity; where there is no relaible market and spare capacity; where there is no reliable market and no spare capacity. c. Where there is a relaible external market and spare capacity, where there is no relaible external market and spare capacity. d. Where there is a reliable external market and no spare capacity.
Suppose that there are three beachfront parcels of land available for sale in Asilomar and six people who would each like to purchase one parcel. Assume that the parcels are essentially identical and that the minimum selling price of each is $445,000. The following table states each person's willingness and ability to purchase a parcel.

Consider a two-good two-consumer exchange economy where u1 = X1Y1 and u2 = X2Y2, endowment of person 1 = (3, 4) and endowment of person 2= (2, 2). Setting the price of good Y to one (Py = 1), what is the price of good X in the competitive equilibrium? 01 0 6/5 O 3/5 O 3/2
A Gain from Trade occurs when a unit is sold for a price greater than the unit of the good is worth to a seller and, simultaneously, bought for a price less than the good is worth to a buyer. Consider the first 2 units of the good that would be sold in this market (the vertical red line on the graph). Which answer choices are correct? If Kai and Mint sold one unit each to Gob and Yam at a price of $6, the trade would be mutually beneficial. At a price of $6, Gob would benefit by $3 because she is paying $6 for a unit of the good which is worth $9 to her. At a price of $6, Kai would benefit by $4 because she is getting $6 for a unit of the good which is worth $2 to her. For the first 2 units of the good there is potential gain from trade of $7 for each of the 2 units. For the first 2 units of the good sold the difference between the value to buyer and seller is $9 each. This means there is a potential gain from trade of $9 per unit. If the first 2 units of the…
