Can you help me with this question. Im finding it quite difficult. In a two-good economy there are two equal-sized groups of people: type a have preferences given by 2 log(xa1) + log(xa2) and type b have preferenceslog(xb1)+2log(xb2) where xhi means consumption by a type h person of good i. The division of property is as follows: each a-person has an endowment of (30, k) units of the two goods; each b-person has an endowment of (60, 210−k) units, where k is some given number between 0 and 210. Assume that there is no production and that people can freely exchange goods to maximise their utility. If there is a competitive equilibrium, what are the individuals’ incomes (ya, yb) in equilibrium as a function of k?

Define the Market Economy term and provide an original, economics-based explanation of the term. Aslo provide a real/hypothetical contextual example (different from that provided in the text) of the term as it is applied to economics.
Consider an economy with 2 goods and 2 identical agents, each of whom has the following utility function, u (x1; x2) = ln x1 + 2 ln x2. The aggregate endowments of the 2 goods are given by (1; 2). Suppose there is a social planner who cares about agents equally.(a) Set up the plannerís problem.(b) Calculate the first-best outcome 2. Consider an economy with 2 goods and 2 identical agents, each of whom has thefollowing utility function, 11(31, 3:2) = In 3:; + 2111332. The aggregate endowments ofthe 2 goods are given by (1, 2).

How would you demonstrate part b) diagramatically 6. Assume you can work as many hours you wish at £12 per hour (net of tax). If you do not work, you have no income. You have no ability to borrow or lend, so your consumption, c, is simply equal to your income. a) Derive and plot the feasible set, between daily values of consumption c, and “leisure”, l. Label the values at the intercepts (the points where the feasible frontier cuts the two axes). b) Assume that your optimal choice of consumption and leisure is to work 8 hours per day. Illustrate this choice diagrammatically using the feasible set and indifference curves.
When using the social ecological model, which of the following would be considered part of the "exosystem" of influence on an individual's physical activity?

a) Suppose demand for good X is given by QD = 900- p/2 where p is the price and QD the quantity demanded. Supply is given by QS = p/4. Suppose 60 TL tax is imposed on each unit of X that is purchased. What is the burden of the tax? Explain the key factors that determine the incidence of the tax. b) Describe the main differences between partial and general equilibrium analysis in the context of examining tax incidence.
A possible explanation for the indecency might be the fact that the consumers are not all alive at the same time and therefore some mutually advantageous trades cannot occur. Consider an economy where consumer t receives an endowment of 1 unit of the single consumption good at time t and obtains utility only from consumption at times t and t + 1. All consumers meet at time 0 to trade. What is the equilibrium? Is exigency restored?
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?
