In economics it is said that two items are substitute items if the Q1 demand for the first grows when the price P2 of the second grows, and if the demand Q2 of the second It grows when the price P1 of the first grows. Give an example of a couple of substitute items. If two items are substitutes, what should happen to the partial derivatives dQ1/dP2 and dQ2/dP1?

An experimental subject has reference-dependent preferences over mugs and money. Letconsumption in mugs and money be c1 and c2, respectively, and let the reference point inmugs and money be r1 and r2, respectively. Then, the person’s utility is given by v(3c1 − 3r1) + v(c2 − r2) (1)where v(x) = x for x ≥ 0 and v(x) = 3x for x < 0. Normalize the person’s initial amountof money to zero, and suppose she starts off with zero mugs.a) What feature(s) of the prospect-theory value function does v capture? Whatfeature(s) does it not capture?b) According to the above utility function, who is better off: a person whosereference point is to get nothing and gets nothing, or one whose reference point is toget $1,000 and gets $1,000? Is there something weird about this? If so, how couldyou modify the utility function to make it more realistic (while still capturing thesame features of prospect theory)? Use the original utility function for the rest of…

Utility functions of a consumer: U = 20x10.4x20.4 Specify:a. marginal utility of each item.b. If the consumption of x1seee is 80 and x2 as much as 60 units, the price of Px120 and Px2 25, Determine if there is a balance of consumption?
I need these please for extra credit I need 22 and 23 only!!
Questions 1.4 and 1.5 refer to a consumer with preferences over food (x) and clothing (y) represented by the utility function u(x, y) = xy, and whose monetary income in 2018 was I = 2. In 2018 prices were (p2018, p2018) = (1, 1), and in 2019 they are (p2019, p2019) = (4,1). hand written plz 1.4. The true consumer price index of this individual is 01 1.5 2 2.5. 1 1.5. The consumer price index of this individual calculated as a Laspeyres index is 01 1.5 2 ☑ 2.5.
5. Briefly explain why the following statements are either TRUE or FALSE: a. Behavioral economists question the assumption that individuals maximize utility. b. All economists agree that if most people in Sweden chose the default fund for the investment of their social security funds, it must have been the best fund. c. If preferences are shaped by society and are not "given," this will have repercussions for economists' theories of choice.

Exercise 5. There are observed following behavioral equations in the economy: C = Co + c(Y-T) 1 = 1o - WR G = Go T = To where: Co > 0, lo > 0, Go > 0, To > 0, ce (0; 1), w > 0. Solve following problems: a) Find IS Curve b) Present graphically how change in government spending affects economy c) Present graphically how change in autonomous tax affects economy d) There is budget deficit in the economy. Government is able to reduce deficit either by increasing taxes or by reducing government spending. Explain, which instrument should be used to reduce budget deficit? e) Government is able to change either taxes or government spending. Which instrument should be used if government tends to increase aggregate income?
Given the simple production function Q = 3K + 4L, where L is the quantity of labor employed and K is the quantity of capital employed, assuming K = 2 and L = 3, what would it mean if output was less than 18? The firm is not employing labor and capital efficiently. Labor is less productive than capital. The firm is out of business. The production function was not specified correctly.

TRUE or FALSE. If the statement is correct, write TRUE on your answer sheet. If the statement is incorrect, write FALSE. Explain why you answered TRUE or FALSE. The substitution effect is always negative since you need to reduce the consumption of lanzones in order to increase the consumption of rambutan to attain a higher indifference curve.
