In an exchange economy, there are two agents, A and B, and there are 330 total units of x and 330 total units of y. The two consumers have utility functions u(x, y) = x²y and u(x, y) = zy, respectively. The equation of the contract curve in terms of the allocations of agent A can be written as УА 330z A V-ZA where the value for V is V =
Suppose we are considering a HO model setting, where countries have not yet opened up to trade. Two goods are produced exclusively by domestic labor supplies, tires and vehicle frames. Suppose a tire is labor-intensive in production whereas constructing vehicle frames is a capital intensive task that more frequently features automated machinery. Home and foreign maintain the following capital (K) and labor (L) endowments. Factor L K Home 1120 575 Foreign 1680 950 Suppose these countries transition into a free trade scenario. Using the previous details about both countries, perform the following tasks. (i) Sketch a world relative price, CPC line, through your bundle such that it passes through the PPF (it will have no tangency to PPF). (ii) Using this CPC line, with its fixed slope, shift the line until it is perfectly tangent with the indifference curve. Update your sketch with this newly labeled CPC. (iii) Correctly label the equilibria points at which Home consumes and produces. (iv)…
1. Chapter 10 (a) In a pure exchange economy with two goods, G and H, the two traders have Cobb-Douglas utility functions. Suppose that Tony's utility function is U₁ = G, H, and Margaret's utility function is Um Gm (Hm)2. Between them, they own 100 units of G and 50 units of H. Solve for their contract curve. determine p, the competitive price of G, where the price of (b) = H is normalized to equal one.
In a hunter-gatherer society lives 2 people, Adam and Smith. Adam picks 10 bananas a week.Smith gathers 50 wildberries a week. Both Adam and Smith enjoy eating bananas and wildberries and have product utility function. The equilibrium exchange rate is "1 banana = ??? berries"
127.) Suppose Robinson and Crusoe are stranded on a desert island in the Pacific Ocean and discover a large amount of currency from a previous shipwreck. Friday catches 20 fish and sells them to Robinson Crusoe for $40 apiece. Robinson Crusoe uses the fish he purchased from Friday to make 40 gallons of fish oil, which he sells to Friday for $20 per gallon. If the transactions above are the only ones that take place in 2002, what is the GDP of the island in 2002? $0 $800 $1600 $2400
When a country specializes in the production of a good, this means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Because of this comparative advantage, both countries benefit when they specialize and trade with each other. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Maldonia and Lamponia. Both countries produce lemons and sugar, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 24 million pounds of lemons and 12 million pounds of sugar, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.
