In an exchange economy, there are two people, A and B, and two goods,X1 and X2. Their respective utility functions and endowments are u (x, x ) = min (xf, 2x ) u (xf, x) = xf +x oA = (4,9), w = (4, 0). %3D %3D %3D %3D Note: The As and Bs in the equations above are not powers but rather superscripts to indicate each agent.
