- 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, (w1B,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? An amount 7 of wealth should be transferred from consumer A to consumer B. O a. O b. None of the other answers. O c. An amount 3 of wealth should be transferred from consumer A to consumer B. O d. An amount 3 of wealth should be transferred from consumer B to consumer A. e. An amount 7 of wealth should be transferred from consumer B to…Carol and Bob both consume the same goods in an economy of pure exchange. Carol is initially endowed with 9 units of good 1 and 6 units of good 2. Bob is initially endowed with 18 units of good 1 and 3 units of good 2. They both have the utility function U(x₁, x₂) = = $1), what will the equilibrium price of x1/³x/3. If we set good 1 as the numeraire (so that p₁ good 2 be?There are two consumers, i = 1, 2. There are L traded goods in the economy and the consumers are price takers. Each consumer has preferences over the commodities she consumes and over some action h that is taken by consumer 1. That is, Ui (xị, ..., x, , h) Activity h is something that has no direct monetary cost for person 1. For example, it could be playing loud music. From the point of view of consumer 2, h represents an externality of consumer 1's actions if = 0 +0 0
- 4) Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods, (x, y), and two consumers, (1, 2). Consumers' endowments are e1 = (4, 2) and e? = (6, 6) And their preferences are represented by utility functions: u(x, y) = x³y and u(x,y) = x³y$ (d) Set up the utility maximization problem for each consumer and solve for their Marshallian demand functions. (e) Compute the market demand for each good. () State the Walrus law for this economy and explain its economic interpretation. (g) Assume the excess demand for good x is zero, i.e., EDx = 0, and calculate the ratio of prices, i.e., p Ipy . Then, use this ratio of prices to show that the excess demand for good Yis also zero, i.e., EDy= 0. Briefly explain how this relates to the Walrus' law. (h) Given the price ratio found above, calculate the equilibrium allocations and show that feasibility, individual rationality, and Pareto efficiency holds.Consider a 2-good, 2-agent pure exchange economy where there are 10 units of each good and preferences are represented by UA, UB: R30 →R where UA (XA) = 2XA1 + XA2 and uB (XB) = XB1 + 2XB2- Which 2 of the following 8 options are true: (If you wish to change your response, please untick your selected answer before selecting another answer.) There are initial endowments from which we can have a Walrasian Equilibrium with prices p = (1, 0). O The only Pareto efficient allocation is XA = (10, 0), XB = (0, 10). Every Pareto efficient allocation can be supported as a Walrasian Equilibrium after some reallocation of resources. We cannot apply the First Welfare Theorem because preferences violate local non-satiation. The allocation XA = (5, 10), XB = (5, 0) is Pareto efficient. For all price vectors PER²0, we have p₁z₁ + P2z2 = 0 where z; is the excess demand of good i € {1, 2}. 0 Preferences of both players satisfy strict convexity. At initial endowment eд = (5, 5), eg = (5, 5), there is a…4. Consider a two-consumer, two-good exchange economy. Utility functions and endowments are u'(x1, x2) = (x1x2)² and e' = (18, 4),u²cx1, x2) = In(x1) + 2 In(x2) and e? = (3, 6). (a) Characterize the set of Pareto-efficient allocations as completely as possible. (b) Characterize the core of this economy. (c) Find a Walrasian equilibrium and compute the WEA. (d) Verify that the WEA you found in part (c) is in the core.
