Consider an economy with 2 goods and 2 agents. The Örst agent has the utilityfunction, u (x1; x2) = ln x1 + 2 ln x2, and the other one has u (y1; y2) = 2 ln y1 + ln y2.The aggregate endowments of the 2 goods are given by (50; 100). Suppose there is asocial planner who cares about agents equally.(a) Set up the plannerís problem b) Calculate the first-best outcome (i.e., the social plannerís solution).

7. In an Edgeworth box for two consumers, A and B, with endowments of commodities Xa and Ya are A's endowments, Xb and Yb are B's, and Xo = Xa + Xb, Yo = Ya + Yb), the competitive equilibrium allocation of the two commodities represents a mutual tangency of both consumers' indifference curves with each other and with a common budget line. (a) The conditions require that A and B consume at a point on their budget lines where their indifference curves have the same marginal rate of substitution, and equilibrium for the market as a whole requires that the sum of the individuals' demands for each commodity must equal the totals (Xo and Yo) available. Mathematically express the point of equilibrium, that is, express the above statement with equations in relating each endowments, equilibrium points (Xa, Xb, Ya, Yb), and totals ((Xo, Yo). (b) Suppose MRSa = Ya/Xa, MRSB = Yb/Xb, Xa = 10, Ya, = 100, Xb = 50, Yb = 20, and let good Y be the numeraire (Py =1). Verify that the competitive…

2. General Equilibrium Consider a market with two goods, x and z, and two consumers, A and B. The utility functions for consumers A and B are as follows UA ÜB 2 1 == XBZB and the initial endowments for each consumer are @ eA = (4,2) еB = (2,6) where consumer B is endowed with 2 unit of good x and 6 units of good z, respectively. a) Draw the Edgeworth Box (Don't worry about the shape of the utility curves. Just pick a general shape that we have used before). b) Derive the contract curve.

Zach's preferences are representable by the utility function u = 90.3927, where 9₁ and 92 denote his consumption of goods 1 and 2. (Answers to each of these questions are rounded, where required, to two decimal places.) Still assuming endowments of e₁ = 5 and e₂ = 9 and market prices p₁ = 20 and p2 = 30, what is the maximised value of Zach's utility? O Au= 6.74 O B. u = 5.39 O Cu = 5.65 O D.u = 7.56 O E.
