Consider an economy inhabited by George and Harriet, whose utility functions are Ug : (ac)² (bc)2 Он тан + 2bн The total quantities of ale and bread that can be produced by the economy are a and b, and they are constrained by the production function b = 2(10 – a)/2 There are infinitely many Pareto optimal allocations. In one of them, Harriet's utility is 8. a) An allocation in this economy is described by a list of four variables. What are these variables? b) What four equations describe the Pareto optimal allocation in which Harriet's utility is 8? c) Find this Pareto optimal allocation.
K Suppose the United States and Mexico both produce hamburgers and tacos. The combinations of the two goods that each country can produce in one day are presented in the table below. United States Mexico Hamburgers (in tons) 0 40 80 120 Which country has an absolute advantage in producing tacos? Mexico Tacos (in tons) 108 72 36 0 Hamburgers (in tons) 0 8 16 24 Tacos (in tons) 60 40 20 Which country has a comparative advantage in producing tacos? The United States Suppose the United States is currently producing 80 tons of hamburgers and 36 tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 16 tons of hamburgers and 20 tons of tacos. If the United States and Mexico each specialize in producing only one good (the good for which each has a comparative advantage), then a total of additional ton(s) of hamburgers can be produced for the two countries combined (enter a numeric response using an integer) and a total of additional ton(s) of tacos can be produced.
Economics The matrix given below represents the pay offs to two large countries, Zombec and Firan, each importing different set of products from the other. Each country's government must choose between two distinct trade policies, free trade and optimal tariffs. Each policy choice represents a game strategy. Firan Zombec Free trade Optim al tariff 50 60 Free trade 50 30 30 40 60 Optimal tariff 40 Determine the Nash equilibrium (if any) in the trade policy game described above. O a. The Nash cquilibrium cannot be determined. O b.Zombec will choose free trade and Firan will choose optimal tariff Oc Zombec will choose optimal tariff and Firan will choose free trade. Od. Both the countries will choose free trade. e. Both countries will choose optimal tariff.

Consider two neighboring island countries called Euphoria and Contente. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce corn, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of corn or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Corn Jeans (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Euphoria 8 32 Contente 12 24 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Euphoria produces 24 million bushels of corn and 32 million pairs of jeans, and Contente produces 12 million bushels of corn and 72 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of corn…

Wichita — Farmers in Kansas, the biggest US producerof wheat, are abandoning their crops damaged by severedrought and cold.Some are spraying wheat fields with crop-killingchemicals and claiming insurance payouts in the beliefthat it is not worth harvesting the little grain that thereis, Reuters found on a three-day tour of the state. Othergrowers let cattle graze on the dismal-looking fields.Abandoning fields will reduce the crop of the world’sfifth-largest wheat exporter, with stocks expected to fallto a 16-year low. Large-scale abandonment deals aneconomic blow to farm towns and force wheat buyersto adjust procurement plans by buying the staple grainelsewhere.Nationally, winter-wheat farmers plan to abandon 33%of the acres they planted, the highest percentage sinceWorld War 1, the US department of agriculture said ina May 12 report.Kansas farmers are expected to abandon about 19% ofthe area planted last autumn, up from 10% in 2022 and4% in 2021, according to the report.
