- In a pure exchange economy with two goods, G and H, the two traders have Cobb-Douglas utility functions. Suppose that Tony’s utility function is UT = GTHT and that Margaret’s utility function is UM = GM(HM)2. Between them, they own 100 units of G and 50 units of H. a. Please solve for their contract curve. b. Please solve for the demand functions for the two goods for both Tony and Margaret, assuming p is the competitive price of G, and the price of H is normalized to equal one.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)An exchange economy consists of two individuals and two goods. The two individuals have the following Leontief utility functions: Person 1: U1(x1, y1) = 3x1 + y1 Person 2: U2(x2, y2) = x2 + 2y2 Person 1 has an endowment of e1 = (3, 2). Person 2’s endowment is e1 = (3, 4). In an Edgeworth Box diagram, show which allocations are in the core. Describe the set of Pareto optimal allocations (i.e. the contract curve) in the Edgeworth Box. Illustrate the contract curve in an Edgeworth Box diagram. Let good y be the numeraire (i.e. set py = 1 and let px = p). What price ratio(s) P* will support a competitive equilibrium allocation for this economy?
- Consider the following simplified bargaining game. Players 1 and 2 have preferences over two goods, x and y. Player 1 is endowed with one unit of good x and none of good y, while Player 2 is endowed with one unit of y and none of good x. Player i has utility function: min{xi, yi} where xi is i's consumption of x and yi his consumption of y. The "bargaining" works as follows. Each player simultaneously hands any (nonnegative) quantity of the good he possesses (up to his entire endowment) to the other player. (a) Write this as a game in normal form. (b) Find all pure strategy equilibria of this game. (c) Does this game have a dominant strategy equilibrium? If so, what is it? If not, why not? Please show all work.

You will get up vote for sure.Bluth’s preferences for paper and houses can be expressed as Ub(p, h) = 2pb + hb, while Scott’s preferences can be expressed as Us(p, h) = ps + 2bs. Bluth begins with no paper and 10 houses, whereas Scott begins with 10 units of paper and no houses. 1. Is the starting endowment Pareto efficient? Justify your answer using an Edgeworth box? Determine whether each of the following price pairs is consistent with a competitive equilibrium. If yes, determine the resulting allocation of goods, sketching that equi- librium in your Edgeworth box. If not, explain why not (for what good is there a shortage, for what good is there a surplus?) pp =$3 and ph =$1 along with pp =$1 and ph =$1 Assume that the price of houses is $1. Given that price, determine the highest price pp that is consistent with a competitive equilibrium.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.
- 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…####### Consider the following pure exchange, Edgeworth box economy. There are 2 consumers and 2 goods. Consumer 1 has an endowment of 3 units of good Y, while consumer 2 has an endowment of 3 units of good X. For both consumers the utility function is given by: U (x, v) = x^2y, where x and y denote the respective quantities of goods X and Y. Find the Walrasian equilibrium price ratio P/Pr and the Walrasian allocations. Does trade take place in equilibrium? i want answer in 1 hour. if you provide solution within time, i will upvote. thanks in advanceA husband and wife would produce incomes Yh and Yw in their fallback situations. The utility each derives in any circumstance is just equal to his or her consumption expenditure in that circumstance. In their fallback situations, their consumption expenditure levels are just equal to their incomes. Thus their fallback levels of utility are Yh and Yw. If they cooperate, they produce Z>Yh + Yw. They engage in Nash cooperative bargaining to determine how to allocate Z across the consumption of the husband, Ch, and consumption of the wife, Cw, subject to the budget constraint that Ch + Cw = Z. Under any bargained allocation, the two would derive utilities of Ch and Cw. a) The surplus associated with cooperation is S = Z − Yh − Yw. Show that each spouse consumes his or her fallback income plus half the surplus in the Nash cooperative bargaining solution. Please do fast ASAP fast please.

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.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.
