Please answer all parts it would mean alot. 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) a) Illustrate the initial endowment in an Edgeworth box. Clearly label the axes and explain the dimensions of the box. Show the indifference curve each of them is on at the endowment point. b) Consider an allocation where Kim gets (xk, yk) = (40,40) and Jung gets the remaining Ferraris and VR headsets. Show where this point is in the Edgeworth box. Is this allocation Pareto efficient? Is it equitable? How likely is this to arise in practice? c) Assume that Kim has preferences Uk (Xk, Yk) = 3Xk + 3Yk and Jung has…
why is the market for recycled aluminium good and the market for plastic bad in the US? Depict this with a firm input choice model. I understand that recycled plastic decreases in qualiy everytime it is recycled while aluminium does not and can be recylced without the decrease in quality, but I dont know how to depict this graphically

Consider an economy with 2 goods and 2 agents. The Örst agent has the utilityfunction, u (x1; x2) = ln x1 + 2 ln x2, and the other one has u (y1; y2) = 2 ln y1 + ln y2.The aggregate endowments of the 2 goods are given by (50; 100). Suppose there is asocial planner who cares about agents equally.(a) Set up the plannerís problem b) Calculate the first-best outcome (i.e., the social plannerís solution).
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.

Does the First Welfare Theorem (FWT) hold in this economy? 3. Can some individuals be made better off if we are at the Pareto efficient allocation?
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).
