1. True/False: Partial equilibrium analysis only concerns supply or demand alone, whereas general equilibrium analysis concerns supply and demand simultaneously. 2. True/False: In general equilibrium analysis, an allocation is said to be as a reasonable allocation if each consumer consumes the same bundle its value is no more than the value of the consumer's income. 3. True/False: In general equilibrium analysis, an allocation is said to be as a reasonable allocation if each consumer consumes the same bundle its value is no more than the value of the consumer's income.

Consider an economy with 100 pieces of apple (A) and 150 pieces of banana (B) that must be completely distributed to individuals 1 and 2. The utility function of the two individuals, U1 & U2, is given by U1 (A1,B1) = 2A2 + B2 & U2 (A2,B2) = 2A2B2, respectively. With this information, recommend an efficient allocation of the two goods between the two individuals. Discuss and show the necessary solution to support your recommendation
4. Aaron and Burris have the following utility functions over two goods, x and y. Aaron’s utility function: UA(xA, yA) = min{xA/3, yA} Burris’s utility function: UB(xB, yB) = 9xB + 3yB Aaron’s endowment is eA = (2, 4). Burris’ endowment is eB = (10, 8). In an Edgeworth Box diagram, show which allocations are in the core. Solve for the set of Pareto optimal allocations (i.e. the contract curve) in the Edgeworth Box. Illustrate the contract curve in an Edgeworth Box diagram. Let good y be the numeraire (i.e. set py = 1 and let px = p). Solve for the Walrasian competitive equilibrium allocation and price ratio.
Extend the model of the jungle to the case in which the number of houses is smaller than the number of agents. In this case, an allocation is a function from the set of agents to the set H U {homeless} with the property that no two agents are assigned to the same house. Each agent has a preference ordering over H U {homeless}. Assume that this ordering is strict; assume also that every agent prefers to be allocated any house than to be homeless. Define an equilibrium for this extended model and show that it always exists.
Consider the pure exchange economy with 2 goods, good 1 and good 2, and two consumers, consumer A and consumer B. The consumers have the following utility functions: UA(X1A,X2A)=X1A+3x2A; UB(X1B,X2B)=x1B +X2B. Consumer A is initially endowed with 4 units of good A and no unit of good 2, that is, consumer A's initial endowment is (W1A,W2A)=(4,0). Consumer B is initially endowed with 3 units of good 2 and no unit of good 1, that is, (WIB,W2B)=(0,3). In order to implement the allocation (x1A,X2A)=(0,1), (x1B,X2B)=(4,2) as a Walrasian equilibrium, what transfer of wealth should we make between the consumers if good 1 is the numeraire, that is, if p1 =1? O a. An amount 7 of wealth should be transferred from consumer A to consumer B. O b. None of the other answers. An amount 3 of wealth should be transferred from consumer A to consumer B. O c. d. An amount 3 of wealth should be transferred from consumer B to consumer A. An amount 7 of wealth should be transferred from consumer B to consumer…

Tom has 500 dollars to spend on two goods, good 1 and good 2. The seller of good 1 offers Tom the following deal: For every three units (of good 1) you buy, you will get the fourth unit for free. Determine how many units of good 1 Tom will end up with if the price of good 1 is 3, the price of good 2 is 8, Tom spends all his income on the two goods and buys 9 units of good 2. Then enter the value below.
1.2 Ann and Bob each own 10 bottles of beer and, altogether, they own 20 bags of peanuts. There are no other people and no other goods in the economy, and no production of either good is possible. Using a to denote bottles of beer and y to denote bags of peanuts, Ann's and Bob's preferences are described by the following utility functions: UA (XA, YA) = TAYA and UB (XB, YB) = 2xB+ YB. In each of the following cases, determine the market equilibrium price ratio and allocation and depict the equilibrium in an Edgeworth box diagram. (a) Bob owns 20 bags of peanuts and Ann owns no peanuts. (b) Bob owns 15 bags of peanuts and Ann owns 5 bags. (c) Ann owns 20 bags of peanuts and Bob owns no peanuts.

In this farmers market there are two goods, Apples and Oranges (1 and 2) and two consumers, Bill and Joel (A and B). Preferences and endowments are as follows: i) Depict above in an Edgeworth box, include autarkic allocation and indifference curves ii) Identify Pareto efficient allocations using Edgeworth box iii) Šuppose p1 = 6 and p2 =8. Find optimal consumption. u* (xf, x²) = 4rf + x u® (xf, a#) = af + 4r B 2'2 112
Bucky has $20 to spend on bowling and billiards. The prices of bowling and billiards are $4 and $1 por game, respectively. Assume he has a voucher for two free games of bowling Suppose bowling is the "X" good and billiards are the "Y" good How many games of bowling can Bucky afford? How many games of billiards can Bucky afford? Where is the "link" in Bucky's budget constraint where opportunity cost of billiards in terms of bowling games changes? (This should be answered as quantity of bowling games, quantity of billiards games)
Q. It is possible to have a Pareto efficient allocation where everyone is worse off than they are at an allocation that is not Pareto efficient?
