2. Consider the labor leisure decision with utility of In(c)+ aln(1). This utility function is characterized by an elasticity of substitution equal to one. a. What observation leads us to use this utility function? In answering this question, be sure to both list this observation and explain how it relates to the unit elasticity of substitution property. b. Explain why this utility function leads to the following claim: "To predict the effect of a change in the tax rate on work hours, one needs to know how the tax revenues are spent." In your explanation, you must demonstrate with the indifference curve/budget constraint diagram(s) two cases: one where the use of the tax revenues has no effect on the equilibrium work hours and another use of tax revenues where it does affect equilibrium work hours.

Suppose we observe that an individual's demand for good 1 is: 1/(2p,+p2) (where I- income). From this we can conclude that: Goods 1 and 2 are perfect complements O The price of good 1 is higher than the price of good 2 Two answers are correct O Goods 1 and 2 are perfect substitutes Three answers are correct No answer is correct Goods 1 and 2 are normal goods O These goods may be perfect substitutes or perfect complements, it depends upon the utility function

3. Consider the following utility function: X2 if: 1 2 u(x1, x2) X1 if: 1< x2 < 2 X2 + x1 otherwise Answer the following questions. (a) What is the Walrasian demand for this utility function?
Teresa spends her entire scholarship of PLN 600 for the purchase of drinks and food. 1. Draw Teresa's budget restraint line knowing that her favorite drink costs 5 zlotys per bottle and the dinner price is 20 zlotys. 2. How will Teresa's situation be affected by the increase in dinner price to PLN 25? 3. What will happen if the price of the drink is reduced to PLN 2.5? 4. Assess following quantitative combinations: •125 drinks i 20 dinners •80 drinks i 20 dinners •40 drinks i 20 dinnes
What is Lea's own-price substitution effect of the price increase due to the tax ?
Relate the concept of marginal rate of substitution back to the idea of willingness to pay and economic return. In particular... If my MRS2 for1|> ERS2 for 1| can I receive additional economic return by reallocating by budget away from one commodity and towards another? If so, how? Why? Please include a diagram in your answer.
The following figure shows the demand curve of commodity x (for a level of income W and the prices of the other commodities constant). The income effect due to an increase in the price of commodity x from 10 to 11 is: Positive Cannot be determined from the graph. Negative Dominated by the substitution effect Could be positive or negative.
Please answer correct calculation asap plz a and b Don't answer by pen paper plz
Question 3 3.1 Slutsky's equation relates the Marshallian demand function to the Hicksian demand func- tion, and therefore provides a way in which to decompose the total effect of a price change on quantity demanded into the substitution and income effects. Provide an expression for the general Slutsky equation of a good (x;) with respect to changes in the price of x;, and clearly label the total effect, substitution effect and income effect. 3.2 Now consider the case of a consumer with Cobb-Douglas indirect utility function v(р, у) (1-a) and Hicksian demand function for good 1 * (p, u) P2 ( Pi = au Pi P2 Demonstrate that the Slutsky equation holds for the own-price effect for good r1-
