The question is based on 'pure exchange economy' in general equilibrium. Please answer all the three questions. Please do not reject it. The following information is the starting point for Q16 – 20. Consider an exchange economywith two agents, 1 and 2, and two goods, X and Y. Agent l's endowment is (0,10) andagent 2 's endowment is (11,0) . Agent 1 strictly prefers bundle (a, b) to bundle (c, d) if,either a > c, or a = c and b > d. Agent 2 strictly prefers bundle (a, b) to bundle (c, d) ifmin{a, b} > min{c, d}. For both agents, we say that bundle (a, b) is indifferent to bundle(c, d) if, neither (a, b), nor (c, d), is strictly preferred to the other.16. This exchange economy hasDSE 2014IndexPage 120Amit Goyalwww.econschool.inamit@econschool.inA. one competitive equilibrium allocationB. two competitive equilibrium allocationsC. an infinite number of competitive equilibrium allocationsD. no competitive equilibrium allocations 17. Which of the following changes makes (pr, Py) = (1,0) a competitive equilibrium pricevector?A. agent 2's endowment changes to (9,0)B. agent 2's endowment changes to (10,0)C. agent l's endowment changes to (0, 12)D. none of the above18. Suppose only agent 2's preferences are changed. The changed preferences of agent 2'sbecome identical to those of agent 1. Then,A. there is no equilibrium price ratioB. both of the following are trueC. Pa/Py = 0 is an equilibrium price ratioD. Py/Pa = 0 is an equilibrium price ratio

On 24 February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave orders for Russian troops to invade Ukraine. This invasion of Ukraine followed statements by the Russian government that Ukrainian soldiers had destroyed a Russian Security border facility and attempted to enter Russian territory illegally; accusations which Ukrainian officials strongly denied. The invasion of Ukraine has gathered worldwide attention, and has been strongly denounced by citizens, governments and international organisations. In an attempt to try and resolve the conflict, President Putin of Russia and President Zelenskyy of Ukraine have agreed to engage with one another surrounding ways of coming to a peaceful agreement between the two sides. Another round of peace negotiations were scheduled to take place on 16 March 2022. Imagine that in these negotiations, President Zeleskyy and President Putin have two strategies available to them: either they can be firm about their position and stand their ground regarding…
06:52 < Title Ebenezer and Scrooge are two countries that can trade with each other. There are two items, (H) and (J). There is only one factor of production: labor (measured as working hours per time period). The labor input per produced unit of the two goods can be seen below. The assumptions of the Ricardo model are met. Country: Ebenezer Item H=20 Item J=10 Country: Scrooge Item H: 18 Item J: 6 So the question is: Is the following statement true or false? “Since 10 < 20, Ebenezer has one absolute advantage in the production of good J?

Consider a two - person (1 and 2) two good (X and Y) exchange economy. The utility function of person 1 is given by U1 = A1 x1 - b1 x1^2 + y1 and the utility function of person 2 is given by U2 = A2 x2 - b2 x 2^2 + y2 where xi and yi denote respectively person i's the consumption amount of good X and good Y, i = 1, 2. Let A1 = 231, b1 = 1/2, A2 = 231 and b 2 1/8 be the values of the parameters above. Suppose the economy has a total of 108 units of good X and 85060 units of good Y What is the value of the marginal rate of substitution of person 1 when each person has the efficient amount of good X ? =
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Consider an exchange economy consisting of two people, A and B, endowed with two goods, 1 and 2. Person A is initially endowed with ωA = (0,10) and person B is initially endowed with ωB = (11,0). They have identical preferences, which are given by U^A(x1,x2) = U^B(x1,x2) = x1^2*x2. Suppose that p2 =1. Under the competitive equilibrium, what is p1? Round answers to two decimal places.
Problem 3: Production-exchange economy Consider an economy with two consumers, A and B, two goods, X and Y, two factors of production, labor and capital, and two firms: firm X uses labor and capital to produce good X and firm Y uses labor and capital to produce good Y. Consumer A has no initial endowments of labor or capital but owns both of the firms. Consumer B has an initial endowment of labor Is =L>0 and an initial endowment of capital kg = K = L, but does not own any share of the firms. Both consumers i = A, B have preferences over consumption bundles can be represented by the Cobb-Douglas utility function where r; is the quantity of good X for consumer i, y; is the quantity of good Y for consumer i, and a e (0, 1) is a preference parameter. Firm X produces the output good X with a technology that can be de- scribed by the following production function: fx(lx, kx) = lx + kx, where lx is the quantity of labor and kx is the quantity of capital. Firm Y produces the output good Y with…

Consider a 2-good, 2-agent pure exchange economy where the initial endowment is eд = (5, 5), eß = (5, 5) and preferences are represented by UA, UB: R → R where UA (XA) UB (XB) = X₁X2 and Which 2 of the following 8 options are false: For all B [0, 1], the initial endowment is a Walrasian Equilibrium allocation. If B<1 then at prices p = (1,1) there will be excess demand of good 2 and excess supply of good 1. O For all B € [0, 1], every Pareto efficient allocation can be supported as a Walrasian Equilibrium for some reallocation of resources. O For any prices p = (1, 1), the budget sets of both players leave the Edgeworth box. For all B € [0, 1], the bottom left and top right corners of the Edgeworth box (0A and Og) are both Pareto efficient. For all B [0, 1], the Walrasian Equilibrium will be Pareto efficient. For all 8 [0, 1], Bob's preferences are strictly convex. For ß = 1/2, the Pareto Set is the straight line joining OA and Og.
What is Veblen’s critique?
A small exchange economy is comprised of two of individuals, A and B, and two types of goods, x, ,x,. The individuals' preferences over two goods are can be represented by the following utility functions: U*(x;,.x; ) = min (2.x,x; ) and U* (x;,x;) = min(x;.2x, ). Initial endowments are 10 x, (individual A), and 10 x, (individual B). Calculate the price ratio which yields an equilibrium in the exchange market.
