a) Suppose demand for good X is given by QD = 900- p/2 where p is the price and QD the quantity demanded. Supply is given by QS = p/4. Suppose 60 TL tax is imposed on each unit of X that is purchased. What is the burden of the tax? Explain the key factors that determine the incidence of the tax. b) Describe the main differences between partial and general equilibrium analysis in the context of examining tax incidence.

Consider a two-good exchange economy with two types of consumers. Type A have the utility function And an endowment of 3 units of good 1 and k units of good 2. Type B has the utility function And an endowment of 6 units of good 1 and 21 - k units of good 2. a. Find the competitive equilibrium outcome and show that the equilibrium price p* = p1/p2 of good 1 in terms of good 2 is p* = 21+k/15. b. Find the income levels (MA; MB) of both types in equilibrium as a function of k. c. Suppose that the government can make a lump-sum transfer of good 2, but it is impossible to transfer good 1. Use your answer to part b to describe the set of income distributions attainable through such transfers. Draw this in a diagram. d. Suppose that the government can affect the initial distribution of resources by varying k. Find the optimal distribution of income if (i) the SWF is W = log(MA) + log(MB) and (ii) W = MA + MB.

iii) Define "Free Good" in a general equilibrium framework. Explain whether the goods are free goods in the following context after determining the equilibrium price. Consider an exchange economy. There are two consumers A and B and two goods X and Y. A has lexicographic preference over good X and B also has the same type of preference. Their endowment is (5,5) each.
