Consider the following exchange economy: u (x1, x2) min {2x1, x2} =(2,2) B = (2, 2) u³ (x, x2) = min{x, 2x} Let P₁/P2 denote the relative price. Suppose = 1. = (a) Show that both markets clear at this relative price by computing the optimal consumption plan for each consumer and showing that these plans are feasible. (b) What is the associated WEA? How many units are bought and sold on each market? (c) Illustrate this equilibrium in an Edgeworth Box diagram. Your diagram should include the WEA, the budget line, and each con- sumer's indifference curve through the WEA.
