Consider the following pure exchange, Edgeworth box economy. There are two consumers, Adam and Mark, and two goods. Adam has an endowment of 7 units of good 1 and 3 units of good 2 (i.e. wadam = (7, 3)), while Mark has an endowment of 3 units of good 1 and 7 units of good2 (wmark$ = (3,7)). The consumers' utility functions are given by: Uadam = Xa1 + Xa2 and Umark = min{xm1, Xm2) where xj1 is the consumption of good 1 by consumer (i = adam, mark) (a) Find the set of Pareto optimal allocations of this economy (b) Find the Walrasian equilibrium. %3D %3D

- 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 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.If A has TIOLI power in an exchange, which of the following are true? a. Person A will capture most or all of the gains from trade. b. Person B will lose utility compared to their initial endowment. c. A Pareto-efficient outcome is assured. d. Person B could gain utility if they agree to A's offer.
- 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.Chris and Dana live in an exchange economy with two goods: good Q and good R. Chris starts off with an endowment of 6 units of Q and 10 units of R. Dana starts off with an endowment of 8 units of Q and 8 units of R. Suppose that the price of good R is pR=1 and the price of good Q is pQ=2. a )At these prices, does the market clear? Yes or no? Explain your answer. b) What relationship must hold between the consumption of each agent and the price of the two goods at the market clearing equilibrium? Write the equation####### 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.

- 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.There are two firms, whose production activity consumes some of the clean air that surrounds our planet. The total amount of clean air is K > 0, and any consumption of clean air comes out of this common resource. If firm i ∈ {1, 2} uses ki of clean air for its production, the remaining amount of clean air is K − k1 − k2. Each player derives utility from using ki for production and from the remainder of clean air. The payoff of firm i is given by ui(ki , kj ) = ln(ki) + ln(K − ki − kj ) j ≠ i ∈ {1, 2}. (a) Assuming that each firm chooses ki ∈ (0, K), to maximize its payoff function, derive the players’ best response functions and find a Nash equilibrium. (b) Is the equilibrium you found in (a) unique or not? What are equilibrium payoffs?Common pool resource game) Consider a common pool resource game with two appropriators. (If you don’t know what is a common pool resource, read the Wikipedia article about the ”Tragedy of the Commons”.) Each appropriator has an endowment e > 0 that can be invested in an outside activity with marginal payoff c > 0 or into the common pool resource. Let x ∈ X ⊆ [0, e] denote the player’s investment into the common pool resource (likewise, y denotes the opponent’s investment). The return from investment into the common pool resource is x x+y · ((x + y) − (x + y) 2 ). So the symmetric payoff function is given by π(x, y) = c · (e − x) + x x+y · ((x + y) − (x + y) 2 ) if x > 0 and c · e otherwise. Assume 1 − e < c < 1. Find Nash equilibrium of the game. Proceed by deriving the best response correspondences first. How does Nash equilibrium depend on parameters c and e (varying one at a time and keeping the others fixed)?
- Consider two consumers (1; 2), each with income M to allocate between two goods. Good 1 provides 1 unit of consumption to its purchaser and units of consumption to the other consumer. Each consumer i, i = 1; 2, has the utility function is consumption of good 1 and is consumption of good 2. a. Provide an interpretation of α. b. Suppose that good 2 is a private good. Find the Nash equilibrium levels of consumption when both goods have a price of 1. c. By maximizing the sum of utilities, show that the equilibrium is Pareto-ancient if α = 0 but incident for all other values of α. d. Now suppose that good 2 also provides 1 unit of consumption to its purchaser and a, 0 ≤ α ≤ 1, units of consumption to the other consumer. For the same preferences, find the Nash equilibrium and show that it is ancient for all values of α. e. Explain the conclusion in part d.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?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) d) Assume that a social planner could redistribute initial wealth (the amounts of ? and ? that Kim and Jung have). Can they reallocate resources so that Kim and Jung reach the allocation (Xk, Yk) = (20,20) and (Xj, Yj) = (20,20) as a general equilibrium (i.e. post-trade) allocation? Can the social planner redistribute resources to make the allocation where Jung owns all the resources in the economy a general equilibrium allocation?
