Consider a 3-consumer, 3-commodity exchange economy. Index the consumers as a, b, c and commodities as 1,2,3. Use the lettere to indicate endowments, x to indicate commodities, and p to indicate prices. Also use superscript for commodities and subscripts for consumers. For example, the endowment of commodity 1 held by consumer a should be denoted as ea. NOTE: DO NOT USE THE SIGN. USE THE NORMAL "+" SIGN FOR ADDITONS. You have to write out the elements of each vector in your equation using the appropriate notation as described above. For example, if x is a (3 x 1) vector and if its elements are denoted as X1, X2, X3, you should write NM

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.
suppose you ar etrying to determine the aftereffects of hurricane Katrina on the economy of Louisiana. Which assumptions could be made to simplify the study? Note that not all statements may be placed. 1. consider the effects on all of Louisiana's interstate trade partnters 2. focus on just the crawfish-and catfish-farming industries in Louisiana 3. determin the effects while holding the infrastructure and factors of production constant 4. track the total net worth of the output produced by the state prior to the hurrican and after the hurricane 5. compare the change in prices for all goods

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)
Every year the residents of a historical town gatherto determine how much to spend on their park,10 percent or 15 percent of the budget. If everyonevotes for the same percentage, they will spend thatamount, unless the year before everyone voted forthe opposite percentage, in which case they spend theaverage of the two. What characteristic of the idealvoting system is violated in this example?

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 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?

Please answer all parts it would mean alot. For the rest of this question consider a two goods economy where Kim and Jung can trade Ferraris (good x) and VR headsets (good y) with each other. Kim and Jung both enjoy driving Ferraris and having more VR headsets (so more friends can play the same game). They start at the same (high) level of income. Kim has an initial endowment of (x0k, y0k) = (10,30) and Jung has an initial endowment of (x0j, y0j) = (30,10) a) Illustrate the initial endowment in an Edgeworth box. Clearly label the axes and explain the dimensions of the box. Show the indifference curve each of them is on at the endowment point. b) Consider an allocation where Kim gets (xk, yk) = (40,40) and Jung gets the remaining Ferraris and VR headsets. Show where this point is in the Edgeworth box. Is this allocation Pareto efficient? Is it equitable? How likely is this to arise in practice? c) Assume that Kim has preferences Uk (Xk, Yk) = 3Xk + 3Yk and Jung has…
