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...

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...
#3-20 points: Consider a 2-person, 2-good economy. Endowments and utility functions are: e(3,2 ( y)y Draw a carefully labeled Edgeworth box diagram showing: a) endowments b) indifference curves through the endowments c) the set of allocations that both agents prefer to the endowments
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 =...
