- 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.Please 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.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.
- 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)consider an exchange economy with 2 goods (1 and 2) and 2 consumer (A and B). a bundle with x units of good 1 and y units of good 2 is written as (x,y). consumer A has an endowment (4,0) and consumer B has an endowment (12,12). the 2 goods are perfect substitutes for each consumer. consider an allocation in which A receives (1,9) and B receives (15,3) if we can redistribute endowments suitably, it is possible to obtain this allocation as the outcome of a competitive equilibrium. is this true or false? explain carefullyA 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.

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.1.) In an endowment economy with market exchange, let two consumers have preferences given by the utility function U^{h}=(x_{1}^{h})^{a}*(x_{2}^{h})^{1-a}for consumer h (1,2) with endowments given by\omega _{1}^{1}=6, \omega _{2}^{1}=4, \omega_{1}^{2}=4, and \omega_{2}^{2}=6. a.) Calculate the consumers' demand functions. b. Selecting good 2 as the measure of value (i.e. p2=1) and with alpha=1/4, find the equilibrium price of good 1 which implies equilibrium levels of consumption of both goods for both consumers. c. Demonstrate whether both consumers' indifference curves are tangential at the equilibrium. Demonstrate whether both consumers' indifference curves are tangential at the initial endowment.
- ####### 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 advanceConsider 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.

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.
