Consider an economy with 2 goods and 30 agents. There are 10 agents
each with the utility function u (x1; x2) = ln x1 + 2 ln x2 and endowments e = (3; 1).
Also, the other 20 agents each have the utility function u (z1; z2) = 2 ln z1 + ln z2 and
endowments e = (1; 2). Normalize p2 = 1. Calculate the Walrasian equilibrium price

- Part 1: Illustrate general equilibrium and the Laffer curve in the context of a repre- sentative consumer with a utility function: U(C.I) = In(C) + In() that he or she maximises subject to a constraint: C= w(1 – t)(h – 1) + * where w, h,1, C,t and a are wages, hours of time available, leisure, consumption, tax rate, and dividend income. The production function for this economy is given by Y = C+G = A(h - 1)/2 Assume that h = 1, A =1 and that the government has a balanced budget. (a) Find the equilibrium by matching the Marginal Rate of Substitution to the Marginal Rate of Transformation and then substitute into the constraint. Also take into account that profits are non-zero for this setup. (b) Plot the government tax revenue for 09Consider 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).Alex's utility is U (xA, YA) = min {TA, YA}, where zA, and y, are his consumptions of %3D goods a and y respectively. Becky's utility function is U (zB, YB ) = TBYB where ap and yp are her consumptions of goods a and y. Alex's initial endowment is 20 units of x and 12 units of y. Becky's initial endowment is 12 units of x and 20 units of y. At the Walrasian equilibrium, a) Both of them consume 16 units of good y each. b) Alex consumes 8 units of good y and Becky consumes 16 units of y. c) Both of them consumes 12 units of good x each. d) Alex consumes 12 units of good x and Becky consumes 20 units of x. e) None of the above4. Aaron and Burris have the following utility functions over two goods, x and y. Aaron’s utility function: UA(xA, yA) = min{xA/3, yA} Burris’s utility function: UB(xB, yB) = 9xB + 3yB Aaron’s endowment is eA = (2, 4). Burris’ endowment is eB = (10, 8). In an Edgeworth Box diagram, show which allocations are in the core. Solve for the set of Pareto optimal allocations (i.e. the contract curve) in the Edgeworth Box. Illustrate the contract curve in an Edgeworth Box diagram. Let good y be the numeraire (i.e. set py = 1 and let px = p). Solve for the Walrasian competitive equilibrium allocation and price ratio.Extend the model of the jungle to the case in which the number of houses is smaller than the number of agents. In this case, an allocation is a function from the set of agents to the set H U {homeless} with the property that no two agents are assigned to the same house. Each agent has a preference ordering over H U {homeless}. Assume that this ordering is strict; assume also that every agent prefers to be allocated any house than to be homeless. Define an equilibrium for this extended model and show that it always exists.5.18 In a two-good, two-consumer economy, utility functions are u¹ (x₁, x₂) = x₁(x₂)², u² (x₁, x₂) = (x₁)²x₂. Total endowments are (10, 20). (a) A social planner wants to allocate goods to maximise consumer 1's utility while holding con- sumer 2's utility at u² = 8000/27. Find the assignment of goods to consumers that solves the planner's problem and show that the solution is Pareto efficient. (b) Suppose, instead, that the planner just divides the endowments so that e¹ = (10, 0) and e² = (0, 20) and then lets the consumers transact through perfectly competitive markets. Find the Walrasian equilibrium and show that the WEAs are the same as the solution in part (a).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, (WIB,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? O a. An amount 7 of wealth should be transferred from consumer A to consumer B. O b. None of the other answers. An amount 3 of wealth should be transferred from consumer A to consumer B. O c. d.
