Student question Time Left :00:09:43Suppose there are two consumers, A and B. The utility functions of each consumer are given by: UA(X,Y) = 2X + Y UB(X,Y) = Min(X,Y) The initial endowments are: A: X = 5; Y = 3 B: X = 2; Y = 2
a. Illustrate the initial endowments in an Edgeworth Box. Be sure to label the Edgeworth Box carefully and accurately, and make sure the dimensions of the box are correct. Also, draw each consumer’s indifference curve that runs through the initial endowments. Is this initial endowment Pareto Efficient?
b. Now suppose Consumer A gets all of both goods. Is this allocation Pareto Efficient? (You do not need to draw a new graph or illustrate this on the existing graph. Simply answer “yes” or “no.”)
c. Now suppose Consumer B gets all of both goods. Is this allocation Pareto Efficient? (You do not need to draw a new graph or illustrate this on the existing graph. Simply answer “yes” or “no.”)
In economics, we assume that choices are based on desired outcomes. This concept is
known as:
In economics, what is an example of selection?

They can trade only with each other and there is no production. The total endowment of good X equals the total endowment of good Y. Amaranda's utility function is U(xA, YA) = min{xa, YA} and Bartolo's utility function is U(XB, YB) = max{xg, YB}. In an Edgeworth box for Amaranda and Bartolo, the set of Pareto optimal allocations is O the main diagonal. O both diagonals. O the whole Edgeworth box. O the edges of the box and the main diagonal.
