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 =

Problem 5: Consider an economy with production. The production functions for goods X and Y are given by: Y = = La Ly ဇာ where Lx +Ly = I. The utility function of the representative consumer is given by: U (x, y) = min {}} where all the parameters are positive. Determine the Walrasian equilibrium quantities of X and Y produced and sold in this economy.
Consider an exchange economy with two investors, A and B, and one physical good. Investor, i, lives for two periods, and has lifetime utility given by U(c,c) = log(c)+ Blog(c{) Be(0,1) i={4, B} where c is consumption of the good of investor i in period t= {0, 1}. Their endowments are given by y ={y°•y?} where the first component in the endowment vector denotes the investor's endowment of the physical good in period 0, and the second component denotes the investor's endowment of the good in period 1. Importantly, the physical good is non-storable. Each investor may be willing to trade some of period 0 endowment in order to enhance consumption in period 1, or vice versa. Market structure: In period 0, investors can trade in the physical good (or equivalently, trade claims to the physical good), as well as buy and sell “futures" (i.e., promises to deliver one unit of the good in period 1). In period 1, there are no more transactions except that investors execute their promises. Use values…
If all markets are perfectly competitive, and general equilibrium prices hold in every market in an economy, then, compared to the equilibrium allocation: Group of answer choices Every consumer must be made worse off by any trade of goods between consumers. Any trade of inputs between two firms must reduce output for one of them. Any trade of inputs between two firms must reduce output for both of them. All consumers can be made better off by producing more of one good and less of another.

Q4 Agent A's marginal valuation of the first unit is MVA $3 and agent B's marginal valuation of the first unit is MVB = $4. Suppose that agent A owns one unit while agent B holds no unit. Then, assuming that each agent maximizes his/her gains from trade, A. 1 unit for agent A and O unit for agent B is an efficient allocation. B. 1 unit for agent B and O unit for agent A is an efficient allocation. C. There is mutually beneficial trading between agent A and agent B at a price of 3
