- Emma has a utility function U(x1, x2, x3) = log x1 + 0.8 log x2 + 0.72 log x3 over her incomes x1, x2, x3 in the next three years. This is an example of (A) expected value; (B) quasi-hyperbolic utility function; (C) standard discounted utility; (D) none of the above. Emma’s preferences can exhibit which of the following behavioral patterns? (A) preference for flflexibility; (B) context effffects; (C) time inconsistency; (D) intransitivity.For a > 0, consider a consumer whose utility function amounts to u(x1, x2) = − exp(−ax1x2). Can you take first order conditions to solve the utility maximization problem? Explain your argument. Next solve the utility maximization problem, and derive Marshallian demands and the indirect utility function. Given your calculations, state and use the duality theorem to find the expenditure function and Hicksian demand 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 the initial allocation is point a between Ross and Rosa. A. Discuss how Ross’s condition be made better off without harming Rosa (i.e., Rosa maintains her level of utility). B. Illustrate this in a separate diagram and label point/s as necessary (also, if other point/s will have to be made or incorporated).

Show how to construct the reference dependent utility function for two friends Kate and Mary whose gains and losses are listed as follows : Kate's net worth is $ 4.5 million ( decreased from $ 5.5 to $ 4.5 million ) Mary's net worth $ 3.2 million ( increased from $ 3 to $ 3.2 million ) ( First determine the reference point ( use a parameter ) and then derive reference utility function for each ) .Consider an individual with the following utility function: Derive step-by-step both corresponding Hicksian demand functions depending on the different prices (P₁, P2) and a fixed utility level u. The equation given In picture.do This in 10 minutes.The consumer has an incom Mand a utility function of the form u (x1; x2) = aInx1 + (1 - a)Inx2 If the prices of the two goods are given by p1 and p2, derive the Hicksian demand functions for a given utility level U: Derive the expenditure function. Using the concept of duality, derive the indirect utility function.
- Suppose X = R k + for some k ≥ 2, and we define x = (x1 , …, xk ) ≥ = (y1 , …, yk ) if x ≥ y; that is, if for each i = 1, …, k, xi ≥ yi . (This is known as the Pareto ordering on R k + ; it plays an important role in the context of social choice theory in Chapter 8.) (a) Show that ≥ is transitive but not complete. (b) Characterize ≥ Is asymmetric? Is≥ Negatively transitive? Prove your assertions. (c) Characterize ~ defined from ≥ in the usual fashion; that is, x ~ y if x ≥ y and y x. Is ~ reflexive? Symmetric? Transitive? Prove your assertions.A maximizing consumer with preferences given by u = x^2+ y^2 allocates 60 dollars of income at pY= 3 and pX= 4. Provide an indifference curve and budget line diagram to illustrate and quantify her utility-maximizing choice a Bundle A. Next month the price of good x will fall to pX= 2. Update your diagram to show the Hicksian compensating and equivalent variations for this price change as Bundles B, C, and D.Suppose Katie buys the bundle (20,9) from the budget line 3x_1 + 5x_2 = 105. When the price of good 1 changes to p1 = 6 and the price of good 2 remains the same, she buys the bundle (5,15). On a later date when p1 = 5 and p2 = 4, by observing Katie’s choices we can say that the Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP) is violated if a) She buys the bundle (10,15). b) She buys the bundle (15,10) c) She buys the bundle (23,6) d) She buys the bundle (25,25). e) None of the above choices violates WARP.
