The impediment comes after an initial delay when changes to the visa regime had to be temporarily withdrawn because mandatory public consultation procedures hadn’t been followed.

Begin from the baseline preferences and endowments. Assume Xavier is wealthier than Yuri. Xavier has an endowment of 1100 pounds for each period (E1=E2=1100). Yuri has an endowment of only 900 pounds in each period (E1=E2=900). Note that each period's market supply is unchanged (1100 + 900 = 1000 + 1000 = = 2000).
