In a pure exchange economy with two goods, G and H, the two traders have Cobb-Douglas utility functions. Suppose that Tony’s utility function is UT = GTHT and that Margaret’s utility function is UM = GM(HM)2. Between them, they own 100 units of G and 50 units of H. a. Please solve for their contract curve. b. Please solve for the demand functions for the two goods for both Tony and Margaret, assuming p is the competitive price of G, and the price of H is normalized to equal one.
