Alex is selfish, Greg is altruistic, and both have the same income level. If income is on the vertical axis and charity expenditure in on the horizontal axis. use the indifference curve framework with well-behaved preferences to show the effect of a forced charity on both person’s utility optimization.

Draw the following scenario: John is selfish, Sam is altruistic, and both have the same income level. If income is on the vertical axis and charity expenditure in on the horizontal axis, use the indifference curve framework with well-behaved preferences to show the effect of a forced charity on both person’s utility optimization. The graph may be something like this?

To make policy choices that involve gainers and losers, we need to have a restricted principle for making interpersonal utility comparisons. TRUE OR FALSE

It is given that a typical consumer has a well-behaved preference structure for his consumption bundle, which includes only two goods, A and B. Further, assume that commodity A is normal and commodity B is Giffen. By keeping commodity A on the x-axis and commodity B on the y-axis, you are required to show the price decomposition for commodity B when $PB decreases exogenously relative to $PA.
Please draw its diagram Consider the following pure exchange economy with two consumers and two goods. Consumer 1 has utility given by U1 = min {4x1, 2x2} Consumer 2 has utility given by U2 = 2x1 + x2 The initial endowment has consumer 1 starting with 200 units of x1 and 200 units of x2. Consumer 2 starts with 300 units of x1 and 300 units of x2. Draw an Edgeworth box diagram for this initial endowment complete with the indifference curves for each individual.
A typical consumer has a well-behaved preference structure for his consumption bundle which includes only two goods, A and B. assume that commodity A is normal and commodity B is inferior. By keeping commodity A on the x-axis and commodity B on the y-axis you are required to show the price decomposition for commodity B when $PB increases exogenously relative to $PA. Please Answer the question by using well labelled diagrams
Points on a utility possibility curve represent a given distribution of well-being between two persons an efficient allocation of resources the maximum well-being of any one person, given the resources available and the well-being of another person all of the above
Because gun violence is portrayed frequently on television and in movies, people mistakenly assign too high of a probability that they will fall victim to gun violence and too low of a probability to more likely but less publicized events. This phenomenon illustrates which one? that events are poorly framed by the media. that people suffer from hindsight bias. the effect of the availability heuristic. the self-serving bias at work.

A nudge is a policy solution that is(A) cheap to implement;(B) has a predictable effect on agents’ behavior;(C) does not put additional constraints on agents’ freedom of choice;(D) all of the above.
Refer to Figure 21-22. When the price of X is $80, the price of Y is $20, and the consumer’s income is $160, the consumer’s optimal choice is D. Then the price of X decreases to $20. The income effect can be illustrated as the movement from Group of answer choices D to E. D to C. C to E. E to D.
Rick thinks either Morty or Summer broke his TV. Morty and Summer each have to decide simultaneously whether to take the blame or blame the other person. If they both blame the same person (both blame Morty or both blame Summer), the person they blame gets a small punishment and utility of -2, while the blameless person gets a utility of 0. Otherwise (if they both blame the other or both blame themselves), they both get a more severe punishment and a utility of -10.
