There are initial endowments from which we can have a Walrasian Equilibrium with prices p = (1, 0). O The only Pareto efficient allocation is XA = (10, 0), XB = (0, 10). Every Pareto efficient allocation can be supported as a Walrasian Equilibrium after some reallocation of resources.

Consider a two-agents, two goods economy, in which both agents, A and B, are represented by the following utility function: UA(1, 22) = rr2 UB(y1, Y2) = Y1y% There are w units of each good in the economy. 1. Characterize the set of Pareto optimal allocations and represent it in the Edgeworth box. The 3 units of each goods are initially share as follows: A has w units of good 1 and zero unit of good 2; B has zero unit of good 1 and w units of good 2. 2. Determine the Walrasian equilibrium 3. Represent the economy in the Edgeworth box.
Ma1. Please give only typed answer.
Use the Fundamental Theorem of Exchange and draw Edgeworth Box diagrams to show the conditions necessary for an 'efficient' allocation of two goods between two individuals. Use this model to evaluate the statement: "If two individuals have identical endowments of both goods there are no possible gains from trade". Hint: you need to develop your explanation of the theory and the efficiencyconditions step-by-step. You need to draw several diagrams showing Edgeworth Box
please if you can teach explain
Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods k = 1,2 and two households i = A, B. The total available amount of good 1 and 2 is 9 and 12 units, respectively. Utility functions for households A and B are UA (TA1, A2) = TA1TA2 and UB(B1, B2) = XB1T32. (a) Find an expression for the Pareto optimal set. (b) Assume e A = (4,4) and eg (5,8) are A and B endowments, respectively. Find the competitive equilibrium. (c) Is the competitive equilibrium allocation in the Pareto Optimal set? Why this result should not surprise us?
iii) Define "Free Good" in a general equilibrium framework. Explain whether the goods are free goods in the following context after determining the equilibrium price. Consider an exchange economy. There are two consumers A and B and two goods X and Y. A has lexicographic preference over good X and B also has the same type of preference. Their endowment is (5,5) each.

3 Consider a pure exchange economy with 2 consumers and 2 goods. Consumer ? owns 8 units of good 1 and 1 unit of good 2, and his preference is represented by the following utility function: uA(x1, x2) = x1*x2. Consumer ? owns 2 units of good 1 and 4 units of good 2, and his preference is represented by the following utility function: uB(x1,x2)=x1+x2. Assume that the two consumers are allowed and able to trade with each other, and that good 1 is the numeraire. In this case, both consumers act as price-takers. Price takers: a market participant that is not able to dictate the prices in a market. Therefore, a price taker must accept the prevailing market price. Please find the competitive equilibrium of this pure exchange economy.

A small exchange economy is comprised of two of individuals, A and B, and two types of goods, x, ,x,. The individuals' preferences over two goods are can be represented by the following utility functions: U*(x;,.x; ) = min (2.x,x; ) and U* (x;,x;) = min(x;.2x, ). Initial endowments are 10 x, (individual A), and 10 x, (individual B). Calculate the price ratio which yields an equilibrium in the exchange market.
