Use the Fundamental Theorem of Exchange and draw Edgeworth Box diagrams to show the conditions necessary for an 'efficient' allocation of two goods between two individuals. Use this model o evaluate the statement: "If two individuals have identical endowments of both goods there are no possible gains from trade". Hint: you need to develop your explanation of the theory and the efficiency conditions step-by-step. You need to draw several diagrams showing Edgeworth Box (rather than drawing one complicated crowded diagram).

Consider two individuals, Fred and Barney. In one hour, Fred can produceeither 15 gallons of beer, or 3 gallons of wine. In one hour, Barney can produce2 gallons of beer or 4 gallons of wine. Assume both goods can be produced incontinuous quantities. Assume that each person wants to consume 3 gallons of wine, then as muchbeer as they can. Determine what each person will end up consumingi) when they cannot trade.ii) when they can trade at a price of 1gallon wine = 2 gallons beer.Use this to explain why trade benefits both consumers.
Amy and Lela have following preferences for apples, pears and bananas where > means "preferred to." Amy: apple > pear > banana Lela: banana > apple > pear Assume there is one apple, one banana and one pear to divide between Amy and Lela and that they have no other goods. For each of the following allocations, say whether it is (Pareto) efficient or inefficient. 1. Amy gets the apple and the pear and Lela gets the banana [ Select ] ["Efficient", "Inefficient"] 2. Amy gets the banana and Lela gets the apple and the pear [ Select ] ["Efficient", "Inefficient"] 3. Amy gets the pear, apple and banana and Lela gets nothing [ Select ] ["Efficient", "Inefficient"]

Nettie can produce either 8 cupcakes or 4 hamburgers. Becky can produce either 4 cupcakes or 8 hamburgers. Suppose that Nettie and Becky each specialize in the production of the good for which they have a comparative advantage and decide to trade. The terms of trade are 1 cupcake for 1 hamburger. After trade, how many hamburgers will Nettie consume if Becky consumes 4 hamburgers? How many cupcakes will Becky consume if Nettie consumes 4 cupcakes? Multiple Choice Nettie consumes 4 hamburgers. Becky consumes 4 cupcakes Nettie consumes 0 hamburgers, Becky consumes O cupcakes

Consider a pure exchange economy with complete markets so that the Welfare Theorems apply. Which 2 of the following 8 options are false: If all Walrasian Equilibria are not Pareto efficient then someone's preferences must violate local non-satiation. O If everyone's preferences satisfy local non-satiation then every Walrasian Equilibrium must be Pareto efficient. O If there exists some Pareto efficient allocation which cannot be supported as a Walrasian Equilibrium for some choice of initial endowment, then at least one person has preferences violating at least one of local non-satiation, continuity and convexity. If preferences violate all three of local non-satiation, continuity and convexity then there must exist Pareto efficient allocations that can not be supported as Walrasian Equilibria for some choice of initial endowment. O If everyone's preferences satisfy monotonicity then every Walrasian Equilibrium must be Pareto efficient. O If everyone's preferences satisfy local…
