Show that when all consumers and producers are price takers, a competitive equilibrium is always Pareto optimal.
Kindly help on these two question... The result that every competitive equilibrium is pareto efficient. a) the second fundamental theorem of welfare economics. b) Edgeworth's condition c) The first fundamental theorem of welfare economics d) Waras's law 2) Assume that there are two consumers ( A and B) in an economy that have preferences that can can be represented as cobb-douglas utility functions. Also assume that there are two firms that have concave production possibility frontiers over goods x and y . Which of the following conditions must be true for an allocation to be distributivity efficient? Select all that apply. a) all goods in the economy are consumed. b) producers must be operating on their production possibilities frontier. c) all consumers must have marginal rates of substitution that are equal. d) all producers must have marginal rates of transformation that are equal . e) consumers must value goods at the margin at the same rate it costs society to produce them
Why can total surplus never fall below zero in a market for goods and services?
A two-good economy is in a competitive equilibrium. The price of a piece of candy is $2 andthe price of a desk is $12. The marginal cost of candy is given by MCc = 2Qc and the marginalcost of a desk is MCd = 4 + 4Qd. The current production level of candy is one piece. What is theoutput of desks? A) Qd = 1B) Qd = 2C) Qd = 4D) Qd = 5
Define what we mean by Pareto optimality and given an example of a Pareto optimal allocation
True or False. State with reasoning: The theory of second best says that if there is a distortion that cannot be removed from the market, then it is never best to get all other variables to the Pareto efficient allocation.
The First Theorem of Welfare Economics (that a competitive equilibrium is Pareto efficient) may not hold for economies with production if Choose one or more: 1)there are decreasing returns to scale. 2)there are increasing returns to scale. 3)there are consumption externalities. 4)all firms act as competitive profit maximizers. 5)there are production externalities.
State whether the fallowing statements is TRUE or FALSE. Explain your reasoning briefly. I want just d
Recently, the price of fuel has increased in Bangladesh. At the same time the Government of Bangladesh has been allowing several producers to start car production in Bangladesh. Assume, the effect of fuel price increase is lower that that from increased number of car producers. (a) Discuss the possible effects on the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in the car market. (b) Graphically explain if the quantity is not reached at the equilibrium, total surplus will not be maximum.
Over the past few year's consumer tastes and the number of buyers in the market for a game called 'pickle ball' have increased dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A) A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. B) Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago C) Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand - and higher pay - for professional pickle ball players. D) All of the above. E) B and D only
Hi, Please answer the attached question. Thanks!
The First Theorem of Welfare Economics can be expressed asA) the competitive equilibrium results only when no transactions costs exist.B) the competitive equilibrium does not involve reallocation of endowments.C) any efficient allocations can be achieved by competition.D) the competitive equilibrium is efficient.
