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...
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...

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...
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)...
Consider a pure exchange economy with two individuals (A and B) and two goods (x and y). The utility functions are given by UA(xA, yA) = min[xA, yA] UB(xB, yB) = min[xB, yB], where xi and yi are the quantities of the two goods consumed by individual i = A, B. The total endowments are wx = 10 and wy = 5. (a) Represent the indifference curves of both individuals in the Edgeworth box and find the Pareto set. (b)...
Consider a pure exchange economy two consumers, Rachel and Lauren, and two commodities, watermelon and tomatoes. Rachel’s initial endowment is 4 units of watermelon and 3 units of tomatoes. Lauren’s initial endowment is 2 units of watermelon and 5 units of tomatoes. Rachel and Lauren have identical utility functions: Rachel’s utility is UR(WR,TR) = WRTR where WR and TR is Rachel’s quantity of watermelon and quantity of tomatoes, respectively; similarly, Lauren’s utility is UL(WL,TL) = WLTL where WL and TL...
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) =玲攻ヱA = (0,2) diagram should be clearly labelled, and should include the autar consumer. (Indifference curves for A do not need to be precisely accurate but those for B should be.) (b) Identify the set of Pareto efficient allocations and indicate these in your diagram.
Two individuals, a and b, consume goods x and y. Their endowments are w(2,5) and wb (10,1). Both have identical Cobb-Douglas utility functions ui(x,y') xy where i malized to 1; for simplicity we write px as just p. Then consumer i's demand for each good is i 1 2 i m and I 2 where m refers to the value of consumer i's endowment. (a) Draw the set of interior Pareto efficient allocations in an Edge- worth box for this...
3. This question is adapted from our textbook. Anne and Bill live in an island economy and consume only two goods. Let x? = (x1, xi) denote the consumption bundle for i = A, B. Their endowments are wa = (WA,WA) = (2,5) and wb = (wp,w?) = (10, a). Both have identical Cobb-Douglas utility functions ui(x) = xix, for i = A, B. Normalizing the price of good 2 to be p2 = 1, we just write pı =...
