Consider a 2 - good (X and Y), 2n - person (n persons of type
A and n persons of type B) replica exchange economy (n
= 1, 2, 3,
.). Let each person of type A have utility, UA(x
y) = 2xa + 3ya and an initial endowment of ex = (20, 16)
and let each person of type B have utility, Ua(xB. yB) = 3xb
+2yb and an initial endowment of eb = (12, 20). The
competitive as well as core allocations are specified by
specifying allocation of good X and good Y to a single
representative person of type A and a single representative
person of type B.
Q. This economy has,
A. no competitive equilibrium
B. unique competitive equilibrium
C. multiple but finite competitive equilibria
D. infinitely many competitive equilibria.
