Normalize so that the price of good 2 is A) Calculate a Walrasian equilibrium at which the price of good 1 is greater than 1/2. Are there other Walrasian equilibria? B) Suppose agent 1s endowment were (2, 1/2). Find a Walrasian equilibrium for this economy. Note that agent is actually worse off, despite having a higher endowment.

Consider an exchange economy with two goods and two agents. Agent A likes to consume more of either good, but when she consumes a bundle, she dislikes mixing her consumption of both goods. Therefore she only cares for the maximal amount of either good contained in a bundle. Her preferences are represented by ui(xA1 , xA2 ) = max{xA1 , xA2 }. Agent B has preferences represented by ui(xB1 , xB2 ) = (xB1 )^2 + (xB2 )^2. Both agents...

Molly consumes two goods, good x and good y and her preferences are represented by the utility function U (x, y) = 1/2x^2 + 4y. 1. Draw (sketch) Molly’s indifference curves for U(x,y) = 10, U(x,y) = 16, U(x,y) = 24 and for U(x,y) = 32.5. 2. Do Molly’s preferences satisfy strict monotonicity? Explain briefly 3. Do the indifference curves you’ve drawn reflect preferences that are convex? Explain briefly
