Consider a two-good exchange economy with two types of consumers. Type A have the utility function And an endowment of 3 units of good 1 and k units of good 2. Type B has the utility function And an endowment of 6 units of good 1 and 21 - k units of good 2. a. Find the competitive equilibrium outcome and show that the equilibrium price p* = p1/p2 of good 1 in terms of good 2 is p* = 21+k/15. b. Find the income levels (MA; MB) of both types in equilibrium as a function of k. c. Suppose that the government can make a lump-sum transfer of good 2, but it is impossible to transfer good 1. Use your answer to part b to describe the set of income distributions attainable through such transfers. Draw this in a diagram. d. Suppose that the government can affect the initial distribution of resources by varying k. Find the optimal distribution of income if (i) the SWF is W = log(MA) + log(MB) and (ii) W = MA + MB.

Consider an economy with 100 pieces of apple (A) and 150 pieces of banana (B) that must be completely distributed to individuals 1 and 2. The utility function of the two individuals, U1 & U2, is given by U1 (A1,B1) = 2A2 + B2 & U2 (A2,B2) = 2A2B2, respectively. With this information, recommend an efficient allocation of the two goods between the two individuals. Discuss and show the necessary solution to support your recommendation
Can you help me answer this macroeconomics theory question. It's all question 7 it's parts a through c
If all markets are perfectly competitive, and general equilibrium prices hold in every market in an economy, then, compared to the equilibrium allocation: Group of answer choices Every consumer must be made worse off by any trade of goods between consumers. Any trade of inputs between two firms must reduce output for one of them. Any trade of inputs between two firms must reduce output for both of them. All consumers can be made better off by producing more of one good and less of another.
5. Consider an Edgeworth box economy where preferences are given by u'(x},*}) = x}x and uai,) = xf, (a) Suppose the initial endowments are e' = (4,4) and e² = (1,1). Find all the Pareto optimal allocations. (b) Suppose the initial endowments are e' = (5,5) and e = (0,0). Find all the Pareto optimal allocations.
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.

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.

Consider an Edgeworth box economy, where preferences and endowments are given by. ( attached below ) In the following, use the normalization p2 = 1.(a) Find all the Pareto optimal allocations (use x1 to parameterize thePO allocations). (b) Suppose the government wants individual 1 to have the bundle x1 = (5, 9). Show whether the government can induce this outcome an equilib- rium with transfers. Find the supporting prices and transfers if possible. (c) State the Second Fundamental Theorem of Welfare and explain how the result in part (b) relates to that theorem. (d) Suppose the government does not care what bundle individual 1 gets and only wants to ensure that the individual 1 receives utility level equal to 45. Show whether this can be achieved as an equilibrium with transfers. Find the supporting prices and transfers if possible.
