Suppose that we have numerical representations (V1, ... , VI) for the preferences (≻i) of our I consumers, and we are using a weighted utilitarian social welfare functional for some given collection of weights (ai) to make social choices. Show that we can change to the (equal-weighted) utilitarian social welfare functional without changing the choices that are made by changing at the same time the numerical representations of the preferences (≻i).s
Modified True or False: State whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, briefly explain why it is so, and then restate it to make it true. k. Pareto efficiency or Pareto optimality is a condition where no change is possible that will make some members of society better off without making some other members of society worse off.
In the United States, one of the largest welfare programs is the Supplemental NutritionAssistance Program (SNAP) representing the second largest in-kind transfer programfor individuals in the US. From the abstract of the study we are told “[a] 1% increasein benefits per population raises grocery prices by a persistent 0.08%. A calibratedpartial-equilibrium model implies a marginal benefit dollar raises a recipient’s consumersurplus from groceries by $0.7, producer surplus by $0.5, and lowers each non-SNAPconsumer’s surplus by $0.05.” In other words, increasing the size of the in-kind transferleads to higher prices. This higher price results in a larger surplus for grocery stores anda lower consumer surplus for individuals not participating in SNAP. Those individualswho participate in SNAP can increase their overall consumer surplus as they haveaccess to more goods, despite the higher price. This result is estimated using thenearly 100% redemption of the SNAP benefits (i.e. assuming the…

One of the following findings of the behavioral economics is widely adopted by the policy makers across the world Humans place greater welfare weights on A avoiding loss than experiencing equivalent gain. People prefer to cut economic loss more than their social loss. Policies aimed at enhancing people's gains C have been found to be more effective than the policies aimed at minimising people's losses Mankind behaves rationally irrespective of D their socio-psychological situations.

Q16 Pareto optimality refers to the maximum efficient allocation of economic resources such that there is no way that one's wealth another person worse off: this statement is choices - irrelevant -conditionally true -always true -always false
We now focus on one country. Assume that the society is composed of two individuals A and B. The VIA total income available in the society is $550,000. The utility of individual A is given by UA= and individual B ones is given by UA = 0.5/IB. b) What should the income distribution be for the individuals to have the same utility level? c) Find the income distribution that maximizes social welfare in the case of an additive social welfare function. Now imagine that in reality, individual A has an income of $500,000 and individual B's income is $50,000. d) How far from the optimal income distribution defined in question c) are we? What redistri- bution should be chosen to reach the optimal social welfare calculated in c)?
