Compute the market demand function (as a function of prices and income y) corresponding to a Cobb-Douglas utility function with equal coefficients a1= 1/3 and a2=1/3. What are the demands at prices p1=p2=1 and income y=10? Suppose the price of good 1 rises to 2. Compute the price effects, substitution effects and income effects for the two goods.

1. Erika has preferences that are complete, transitive, continuous, monotonic, and convex. Her utility function is U(x1, x2), where goods 1 and 2 are the only goods she values. Her income is M, and the prices of the goods are p1 and p2; assume M, p1 and p2 are positive numbers. a. Suppose M decreases, good 1 is normal, and good 2 is inferior. Using a graph, show what happens to the demand for each good. b. Is it possible...

Suppose Alex’s preferences are represented by u(x1,x2) = x1x32. The marginal utilities for this utility function are MU1 = x23 and MU2 = 3x1x22. (a) Show that Alex’s utility function belongs to a class of functions that are known to be well-behaved and strictly convex. (b) Find the MRS. [Note: find the MRS for the original utility function, not some monotonic transformation of it.] (c) Write down the tangency condition needed to find an optimal consumption bundle for well-behaved preferences....

A consumer has income M, and faces prices (for goods 1 and 2) p1 and p2. For each of the following utility functions, graphically show the following: (i) the Slutsky substitution and income e⁄ects when p1 decreases. (ii) the Hicks substitution and income e⁄ects when p1 decreases. (iii) the Marshallian and Hicksian demand curves for good 1: (a) perfect complements: U(x1 , x2) = min {4x1, 5x2} (b) quasi-linear: U(x1 , x2) = x^2/3 1 + x2
