Consider the endowment economy. Jason has a utility function of uJ (c1, c2) = ln(c1) + 1 2 ln(c2). Tahani has a utility function of uT (c1, c2) = min {c1, c2} . The endowments are eJ = (1, 2) and eT = (2, 1). a. Define the competitive equilibrium for this economy. b. Calculate the market clearing prices and the equilibrium allocation

1. Harvey Habit's utility function is U (C1, C2) = min {c1, c2}, where ci is his consumption of bread in period 1 and ca is his consumption of bread in period 2. The price of bread is $1 per loaf in period 1. The interest rate is 21%. Harvey earns $2,000 in period 1 and he will earn $1,100 in period 2. (a) Write Harvey's budget constraint in terms of future value. (b) How much bread does Harvey consume...

2. Consider the following four consumers (C1,C2,C3,C4) with the following utility functions: Consumer Utility Function C1 u(x,y) = 2x+2y C2 u(x,y) = x^3/4y^1/4 C3 u(x,y) = min(x,y) C4 u(x,y) = min(4x,3y) On the appropriate graph, draw each consumer’s indifference curves through the following points: (2,2), (4,4), (6,6) and (8,8), AND label the utility level of each curve. Hint: Each grid should have 4 curves on it representing the same preferences but with different utility levels. 3. In the following parts,...

Economic value : U(C1, C2, C3, C4, C5) =C1∙C2∙C3∙C4∙C5 As a mathematical function, does U have a maximum or minimum value? What values of Ci correspond to the minimum value of U? What values of Ci correspond to the maximum value of U? Do these values of Ci make sense from an economic standpoint? Now let us connect the idea of economic utility to actual dollar values. To keep the values more manageable, we will use household income rather than...
