Consider a pure exchange economy with 2 consumers, 1 and 2, who trade financial assets. There are two states of the world, a and b. State a occurs with probability 2/3 and state b occurs with probability 1/3. Two assets are traded: money in state a and money in state b. Consumer 1 is risk neutral (i.e. has von Neumann-Morgenstern utility u(x) x) and consumer 2 is risk averse with von Neumann-Morgenstern utility v(x) = √√√x. Consumer 1's endowment is (6,6) and consumer 2's endowment is (0, 4); that is, consumer 1 is endowed with 6 dollars in each state while consumer 2 is endowed with 0 dollars in state a and 4 dollars in state b. =
