Examine how the equilibrium price p changes with respect tothe endowment of good 1, i.e. with respect to w for i = 1,2, and with re-spect to the endowment of good 2, i.e. with respect to w for i = 1,2. Give(d)intuition for these results.(HINT: You may, but need not, take respective derivatives of the expres-sion for equilibrium price with respect to each variable of interest to estab-lish the comparative statics asked for here.
