Some high-end retailers place their most expensive products right in the entryway of the store, where consumers will see them first, and place their more popular, better-selling items further back. Which of the following would most likely be used by a behavioral economist as a justification for this strategy? A behavioral economist would disagree with the store's strategy. The store is using lower-priced options to drive down price expectations and make later, higher-priced options appear more expensive in comparison. The store is using higher-priced options to drive up price expectations and make later, lower-priced options appear less expensive in comparison. The store is using lower-priced options to drive up price expectations and make later, higher-priced options appear less expensive in comparison.

Linguini and Colette consume only éclair (x,) and profiterole (x2). Linguini has utility function U4 = xfxf and Colette has utility function UB = 2xfx% . Linguini is endowed with 10 éclair (x,) and 3 profiterole (x,), while Colette is endowed with 20 éclair (x,) and 9 profiterole (x,). Draw an Edgeworth box with x, on the horizontal axis and x2 on the vertical axis. Position Linguini on the bottom left corner and Colette on the top right corner. Indicate the total number of units of x, and x2. Label the endowment allocation. Derive the equation of the contract curve, i.e., find x(x). In your graph in (a), draw the contract curve. Suppose the price of éclair (x,) is $1 and the price of profiterole (x2) is $2. Find each consumer's utility-maximizing basket. How much of each good does each consumer want to buy or sell? Are the markets in equilibrium at the given prices? Verify that Walras' law holds at these prices. Now we will solve for the competitive equilibrium. Use your solution to…
