#3-20 points: Consider a 2-person, 2-good economy. Endowments and utility functions are: e(3,2 ( y)y Draw...
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...
2. (20 points) Suppose there are two consumers, A and B The utility functions of each consumer are given by: UA(X,Y) XY UB(X,Y) Min(X,Y) The initial endowments are: A: X 1; Y 1 B: X 5; Y 5 Illustrate the initial endowments in and Edgeworth Box. Be sure to label the Edgeworth Box carefully and accurately, and make sure the dimensions of the box are correct. Also, draw each consumer's indifference curve that runs through the initial endowments. Is this...
17. In a two person-two good economy, goods X and Y are perfect complements for John and Mary. There are 12 units of X and 6 units of Y available. Initially, John has 8 units of X and 2 units of Y and Mary has 4 units of X and 4 units of Y Draw an Edgeworth Box associated with this economy. Show the initial allocation and plot the (a) i both John and Marry that pass through the initial...
1. Consider the following exchange economy. There are two goods (1 and 2) and two consumers (A and B). Preferences and endowments are as follows: uA (イ·攻)-玲攻 TA _ (0,2) 2(4,0) (a) Draw an Edgeworth Box diagram to depict this economy. Your diagram should be clearly labelled, and should include the autar kic allocation as well as a couple of indifference curves for each consumer. (Indifference curves for A do not need to be precisely accurate but those for B...
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...

QUESTION 17 PLEASE. NA compare them with your findings in part (b). 17. In a two person-two good economy, goods X and Y are perfect complements for John and Mary. There are 12 units of X and 6 units of Y available. Initially, John has 8 units of X and 2 units of Y and Mary has 4 units of X and 4 units of Y. (a) Draw an Edgeworth Box associated with this economy. Show the initial allocation and...
Hello tutor, could you help me solve this question as soon as possible? Thank you Person 1 and 2 are the only two individuals in an exchange economy. Each person drives utility from the consumption of two goods, x and y. Their utility functions are: 1. Person 1: U1 = xfyl-u Person 2: U2-x'' y," where (Xi,y) is consumption bundles of individual i E (1,2). The initial endowment bundles are: Person 1: (xgf.yt) Person 2: (x2,y2) Drive the utility maximizing...
Consider an exchange economy with two consumers, A and B, who can consume only two goods. Suppose consumers’ preferences are represented by a Cobb- Douglas utility function of the form u(x1i,x2i) = x1ix2i (here i is for consumer A or B) for a consumption bundle of two goods (x1i,x2i). The consumers have endowments eA = (e1A;e2A) = (4;1) and eB = (e1B;e2B) = (1;4). The price of good 1 is p1 and the price of good 2 is p2. You...
Hello Tutor, Could you solve part d of this question for me ASAP. I need to see how the diagrams will look like. Thank you. Person 1 and 2 are the only two individuals in an exchange economy. Each person drives utility from the consumption of two goods, x and y. Their utility functions are: 1. Person 1: U1 = xfyl-u Person 2: U2-x'' y," where (Xi,y) is consumption bundles of individual i E (1,2). The initial endowment bundles are:...
