- 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)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.Consider, U1(x1, y1) = 2(x1y1) 4 + 20 U2(x2, y2) = 10lnx2 + 4lny2 W1 = (2, 1) and W2 = (1, 2) 1.1 Characterize the Pareto efficient allocations and contract curve. 1.2 Which allocations are in the core? 1.3 Find the Competitive/Walrasian equilibrium for this problem. 1.4 Is the answer of 1.3 in the core?
- Consider an economy with 3 agents, Mohammed (M), David (D) and Susan (S). There are two goods available, good x, and good y. The marginal rates of substitution (where good x is on the horizontal axis and good y is on the vertical axis) are given by for Mohammed, for David and for Mohammed and David are both consuming twice as much of the good x than good y, while Susan is consuming equal amounts of x and y. A. What are the conditions for Pareto efficiency in an exchange economy? B. Are these consumption levels economically efficient? C. Can these consumption allocations be observed in a perfectly competitive equilibrium in an exchange economy without production? Explain.1.Under what conditions is the production possi bilities frontier linear rather than bowed out? 2.Explain how absolute advantage and compara-tive advantage differ. 3.Give an example in which one person has anabsolute advantage in doing something butanother person has a comparative advantage. 4.Is basoute advantage or comparative advantage more important for trade?

We cannot change the production of food.d. The concept of opportunity cost does notapply along PPC.
- Consider a two-person exchange economy in which person 1 owns 200 units of x and 100 units of y while person 2 owns 100 units of x and 200 units y. Suppose their preferences over the two goods can be represented as: U1 (x, y) = y + 50Inx U2 (x, y) = y + 150lnx 1. How much of x do they trade among each other? 2. Does the First Welfare Theorem (FWT) hold in this economy?Supposeg1increases, but stillc1+b1+g1<1. Using a graph of the goods market, show how we would represent an increase in the value ofg1on equilibrium output y. Be sure to label all axes, curves, and equilibrium points. Suppose instead,c1+b1+g1= 0. Is the equilibrium in the goods market still possible? If so, what is the equilibrium output? You must explain your answer to receive full credit.####### 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.
