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...

Consumer A has a utility function u(x,y) = xA + yA and an endowment of (x,y) = (25,5). Consumer B has a utility function u(x,y) = min{xB,yB} and an endowment (x,y) = (25,45). a. Carefully sketch the Edgeworth Box and indicate where the endowment is. b. What is A’s utility and B’s utility if they each simply consumer their endowments? c. Next, add the indifference curve for A and B, through their endowments in your Edgeworth Box. d. Find a...

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 a pure exchange economy with two goods, wine (x) and cheese (y) and two con- sumers, A and B. Let cheese be the numeraire good with price of $1. Consumer A's utility function is UA(x; y) = 2x+y and B's utility function is UB(x; y) = xy. A's initial allocation is 10 units of x and 0 units of y. B's initial allocation is 0 units of x and 30 units of y. (a) Put wine x on the...

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. Consider the utility function U(x, y) = 2/x + y. 1) Is the assumption that "more is better” satisfied for both goods? 2) What is MRS, for this utility function? 3) Is the marginal rate of substitution diminishing, constant, or increasing in x as the consumer substitutes x for y along an indifference curve? 4) Will the indifference curve corresponding to this utility function be convex to the origin, concave to the origin, or straight lines? Explain.
