![Problem 7. This question is adapted from our textbook. The table below describes a two-person, two-commodity economy. The utility functions, endowments and demand functions for Anne and Bill are provided. For simplicity, we normalize the price of good 2 to $1 and denote the price of good 1 as p. In the table, mr refers to the value ofis endowment, i.e. m,-p xiM +4% where i - A, B is the index used to denote Anne and Bill, respectively. i- A,Bu() demand for good 1 | demand for good 2 2 (a) Draw the set of interior Pareto efficient allocations in an Edgeworth box for this economy. [6 points] Dont forget to clearly label your graph. (b) Calculate the Walrasian equilibrium price p and the Walrasian allocation Check that this allocation is, as the First Welfare Theorem predicts, Pareto efficient. Do it both graphically and algebraically. [4 points]](http://img.homeworklib.com/questions/5f6de040-9076-11ec-b8bc-bf3c3a637f60.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,w_560)

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 =...

Need help with Edgeworth Box exercise
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.

Anne and Bill are left stranded on a desert island with nothing else but some water x and bread y. There are 100 units available of each good. Suppose that initially Anne has all the water and Bill has all the bread. Anne and Bill have different preferences over the consumption of water and bread. Anne’s utility function is ??(?,?)=? raised 2/5 ? raised3/5, and Bill’s utility function is ??(?,?)=? raised 1/4 ? raised3/4. [30 marks] a) [3 marks] Is...

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...
