Let us consider a 2x2 pure exchange economy, with a total endowment of 1 unit of each good. 1/2, 1/2 Agent A's utility function is XA¹/²¹/² and agent B has a utility function given by XB. Select the true statement(s). Select one or more: a. Agent B would receive a greater quantity of x in the Utilitarian SWF maximum than in the Cobb-Douglas maximum.

Person 1 and person 2 are the only two residents of an economy. Person i (where i is either 1 or 2) has the utility function Here, Yi is person i’s income and β is parameter between 0 and 1. Assume that the social welfare function is where α is a parameter between 0 and 1. Initially, person 1’s income is 1 and person 2’s income is 2. a) Express W in terms of Y1 and Y2. If a social indifference curve shows all the pairs (Y1, Y2) that yield the same value of W, what would a social indifference curve look like if it were drawn in the (Y1, Y2) quadrant? Find an algebraic expression for the slope of a social indifference curve. b) Imagine that income redistribution is costless, in the sense that the economy can reach any pair (Y1, Y2) that satisfies the condition Draw a graph of the attainable pairs in the (Y1, Y2) quadrant. This set is called the “utility possibility frontier.” Using this frontier and the social indifference curves,…

Q4 Agent A's marginal valuation of the first unit is MVA $3 and agent B's marginal valuation of the first unit is MVB = $4. Suppose that agent A owns one unit while agent B holds no unit. Then, assuming that each agent maximizes his/her gains from trade, A. 1 unit for agent A and O unit for agent B is an efficient allocation. B. 1 unit for agent B and O unit for agent A is an efficient allocation. C. There is mutually beneficial trading between agent A and agent B at a price of 3
Consider an Edgeworth-box economy, which contains two individuals i and j, and two goods (and 2. The total endowment of good I is 8, and the total endowment of good 2 is 4. Individual i has the Leontief utility U₂C X₁, X₁z) = min (X₂₁, Xiz) for all X₁, Xiz 20, while individual j has the Linear utility U₁ (Xj₁, Xj₂)=Xj₁t Xj₂ for all X₁, Xyzzo, which allocation below this is not Patreto efficient / optimal a.

Alex's utility is U (xA, YA) = min {TA, YA}, where zA, and y, are his consumptions of %3D goods a and y respectively. Becky's utility function is U (zB, YB ) = TBYB where ap and yp are her consumptions of goods a and y. Alex's initial endowment is 20 units of x and 12 units of y. Becky's initial endowment is 12 units of x and 20 units of y. At the Walrasian equilibrium, a) Both of them consume 16 units of good y each. b) Alex consumes 8 units of good y and Becky consumes 16 units of y. c) Both of them consumes 12 units of good x each. d) Alex consumes 12 units of good x and Becky consumes 20 units of x. e) None of the above
4. A consumer has preferences such that their Hicksian demands for r and y are given by r = 4 and y =. Initially, the price of r and y are both equal to 6 and at these prices the consumer achieves a maximum utility of 10. If the price of r doubles to 12, how much would the government have to pay this consumer in order for them to be able to achieve the same utility as before the price change? Justify your answer. %3D

State whether the following statements are True, False, or Uncertain. Credits will only be given for answers with explanations. Use graphs when necessary. "In an Edgeworth box, the Pareto Set will be the diagonal line of the box when the goods X and Y are perfect substitutes with the slopes of indifference curves for individual A are of the same slopes of those of individual B"
Consider an exchange economy with two consumers J and K and two goods F and C. Suppose the consumers have preferences with the following MRS of F in terms of C MUP MU 5CJ MRS FC FJ and MU MRSC = CK MUŽ FK where J, K are labels for the consumer, not powers. Suppose the economy has 24 units of good F and 20 units of good C. If consumer J is endowed with 12 units of good F and the consumers are given a Pareto efficient allocation, how many units of good C will consumer ** K** be provided?
