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

- 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.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. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.Suppose that two individuals, Jon and David, form a community and would like to construct a communal fort that would protect them from attacks. They both consume good X, a private good, and the protection of the fort, P. One unit of good X costs 1 unit of currency, and one unit of P costs 2 units of currency. Both Jon and David have an income of 100 and a utility function of the form: U = log(Xi) + 2 × log(PJ + PD)The budget constraint for each is given by:Xi + 2 × Pi = 100 (a) Find the amount of protection Jon will provide as a function of how much David provides, and explain why the relationship is the way it is.Consider a pure exchange economy, where each consumer has preferences described by a Cobb-Douglas utility function. Both consumers have exactly the same endowment. In such an economy, an equitable distribution of goods (where each individual consumes exactly half of each good) is a Walrasian equilibrium allocation. a. always for any consumers' preferences b.only if consumers' preferences are exactly the same c. never d. non of the above
- In Problem 25, under what conditions is a pooling equilibrium possible? Problem 25 Education is a continuous variable, where is the years of schooling of a high-ability worker and is the years of schooling of a lower-ability worker. The cost per period of education for these types of workers is respectively, where The wages they receive if employers can tell them apart are And Under what conditions is a separating equilibrium possible? How much education will each type of worker get?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.
- For this and a and b problems, consider a partial equilibrium model with two households with preferences given by u1(x1, m1) = 2 ln (x1 + 1/6) + m1 and u2(x2, m2) = 3 ln(x2+1/3)+m2, and two firms with cost functions for the production of good 1 given by c1(y1) = y 2 1 and c2(y2) = y 2 2 Find the demand function for good 1 of each household and the market demand function for good 1, and illustrate each household demand and the market demand curves in a graphic. a. Find the supply function for good 1 of each firm and the market supply function for good 1, and illustrate each firm supply and the market supply curves in a graphic. b. Find the competitive equilibrium price for good 1, as well as the equilibrium demand of each household, the equilibrium supply for each firm, the households’ utility in equilibrium, the firms’ equilibrium profits, the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, and the total surplus.Consider a pure exchange economy, where each consumer has preferences described by a Cobb-Douglas utility function. Both consumers have exactly the same endowment. In such an economy, an equitable distribution of goods (where each individual consumes exactly half of each good) is a Walrasian equilibrium allocation? a. always, for any consumers' preferences b. only if consumers' preferences are exactly the same c. Never d. None of the aboveA 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…
