5. (We will solve in class) Ali's utility function is U r,y) = 2/4/3/4 and his...
Can anyone help me with this one? Two agents have identical quasilinear preferences U(x, y)-u(x) +y, where u(x) =|x-1 + 1 , x > 1 Agent I's endowment is (3/2, 1/2) and agent 2's endowment is (1/2, 3/2). Normalize so that the price of good 2 is 1. There is a Walrasian Equilibrium at which the price of good 1 is greater than 1/2. Draw an Edgeworth Box for this economy. Draw and label the following elements: (I) The Walrasian...

Consumer A has a utility function u(x,y) = xA + yA and an endowment of (x,y) = (25,5). Consumer B has a utility function u(x,y) = min{xB,yB} and an endowment (x,y) = (25,45). a. Carefully sketch the Edgeworth Box and indicate where the endowment is. b. What is A’s utility and B’s utility if they each simply consumer their endowments? c. Next, add the indifference curve for A and B, through their endowments in your Edgeworth Box. d. Find a...
Pure Exchange Model 1. Consider a Pure Exchange Economy with two agents A and B and two goods X and Y in which each agent acts competitively. Their preferences are given by the following utility function U(X,Y)=X13*Y23 Their initial endowments are as follows W=(5,20) w- (25,10) a) Calculate the demand functions for Good X and Good Y for each agent. b) State the equilibrium conditions for this economy. c) Using these conditions and the demand functions found in part a)...
I need help solving this exercise from a course called Advanced Microeconomics in MSc in Economics. Thank you in advance Exercise 4 (General Equilibrium). Two agents have identical quasilinear preferences U(x,y) -u(x) +y, where u(x) Agent 1's endowment is (3/2, 1/2) and agent 2's endowment is (1/2,3/2). Normalize so that the price of good 2 is 1. 1. Calculate a Walrasian equilibrium at which the price of good 1 is greater than 1/2. Are there other Walrasian equilibria? 2. Draw...
Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods, wine (x) and cheese (y) and two con- sumers, A and B. Let cheese be the numeraire good with price of $1. Consumer A's utility function is UA(x; y) = 2x+y and B's utility function is UB(x; y) = xy. A's initial allocation is 10 units of x and 0 units of y. B's initial allocation is 0 units of x and 30 units of y. (a) Put wine x on the...
Description of the economy: For each of the following problems, consider a 2x2 Exchange Economy with two consumers A and B, and two goods X and Y . The preferences of consumer A can be represented by the utility function uA(xA, yA) = xAyA , where xA is the amount of good A consumed by consumer A, and yA is the amount of good Y consumed by consumer A. The preferences of consumer B can be represented by the utility...
Anything will help Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods, wine (x) and cheese (y) and two con- sumers, A and B. Let cheese be the numeraire good with price of $1. Consumer A's utility function is UA(x, y) = xy and B's utility function is UB(x, y) = min [x, y). A has an initial allocation of 10 x and no y, and B has an initial allocation of 10 units of y and no x. (a) Put...
1. (19 pts) Adrienne and Deepa consume pizza, Z, and cola, C. Adrienne's utility function is UA = Z CA and Deepa' s utility function is U = 29.5C9.5. Adrienne's marginal utility of pizza is MUZ = CA, and her marginal utility of cola is MUS = Z . Similarly, Deepa' s marginal utility of pizza is MU} = -2;0.500.5 and her marginal utility of cola is MUS = -2,5050.5. Their initial holdings of pizza and cola are ZA =...
this is the entire question this is all the information given 2. Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods, wine (x) and cheese (y) and two con- sumers, A and B. Let cheese be the numeraire good with price of $1. Consumer A's utility function is UA(x, y) = 2.c + y and B's utility function is UB(x, y) = xy. A's initial allocation is 10 units of c and 0 units of y. B's initial allocation is 0...
