Consider an economy with 2 goods and 2 agents. The first agent has the utility function, u (x₁, x₂) = ln x₁ + 2 ln x2, and the other one has u (y₁, Y2) = 2 ln y₁ + ln y2. The aggregate endowments of the 2 goods are given by (50, 100). Suppose there is a social planner who cares about agents equally.

(a)Set up the plannerís problem.
(b)Calculate the first-best outcome (i.e., the social plannerís solution)
Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- Consider an economy with 2 goods and 2 identical agents, each of whom has the following utility function, u (x1; x2) = ln x1 + 2 ln x2. The aggregate endowments of the 2 goods are given by (1; 2). Suppose there is a social planner who cares about agents equally.(a) Set up the plannerís problem. Calculate the first-best outcomePlease 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.Consider 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.
- 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 aboveIf the initial distribution of two goods between two people is Pareto optimal, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. It is possible to reallocate the goods between the two people so as to increase the utility of both people. B. It is possible to reallocate the goods between the two people so as to increase the utility of one person without decreasing the utility of the other. C. It is possible to reallocate the goods between the two people so as to increase the utility of one person, but only at the expense of the other person. D. It is impossible to reallocate the goods between the two people so as to increase either person's utility. E. None of the aboveSuppose that consumer I has the utility function u(x,y) = x + 2y and consumer II has the utility function u(x,y) = min{x, 2y}. Consumer I initially has 12 units of y and zero units of x, while consumer II has 12 units of x and zero units of y. It is correct to state that, in competitive equilibrium, the agents' consumption basket will be:
- Let Utility Function be U = min {X, Y} As given Endowment of Good 1 and Good 2 is 100 and 200 respectively. Suppose that price of good x increases from 10 to 15 and price of good y is 10 , then Calculate Endowment Income effectAnswer both question (a) and (b) below. (a) State theWeak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP). (b) In a two-good model, suppose a consumer always chooses the midpoint of the budget line given any (p1; p2; I), does the demand function satisfy WARP? Why? (HINT: Graphs can be helpful to answer the question.)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.
- . Show that Cobb-Douglas preferences are homothetic preferencesRosa received a corgi pillow as a raffle prize; she would have been willing to pay $18 to buy it herself. Based on the endowment effect, we would expect Rosa to be willing to sell the pillow.In a standard economic model, we generally assume the individual only cares about their own payoff. So, for example, utility of individual i is given by u = pi, where pi is the individual’s payoff. Suppose the individual is playing a dictator game with another partner j. How would you modify the utility function to explain the non-zero allocations to the partner that are typically observed?
