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. Draw and label the following elements: (I) The Walrasian Equilibrium...
Can
anyone help me with this one?

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 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...
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)...
A and B have identical preferences u(x, y) = min{x,y). A's endowment is (1,9) and B's endowment is (19,11). Is (10,10) in the core? A Yes No
Suppose the preferences of an individual are represented by a quasilinear utility function: U (x, y) = ln(x) + y (a)Suppose px =1, py =5 and I = 20. The price of x increases to 2 (px = 2). Calculate the changes in the demand for x. What can you say about the substitution and income effects for small changes in the price of x? What happens to the demand for y? Is y a gross substitute? (b)Now suppose px...
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...

5. (We will solve in class) Ali's utility function is U r,y) = 2/4/3/4 and his initial endowment is w^ = (1,0). Beatrice's utility function is u (x,y) = 23/4, 1/4 and her initial endowment is B = (3,4). (a) (5 Points) Find the contract curve. (6) (3 Point) Find the Walrasian equilibrium allocation [(x^,y),( economy y)] and price ratio pz/P, for this exchange
