T2 respectively. Endowments differ by state. There are two agents with utility function
U(c) = co+1 ln(ci) + 2 ln(c2) There are 2 zero net supply AD securities (i.e. (1,0) and
(0,1)). Denote demand for these securities as where k is agent 1 or 2 and i is state 1 or
2. Assume the following:
Agent 1 4
Agent 2 4
C01 C02
1 5
7 2
0.4 0.6
Answer the following:
(a) Set up the maximization problem for both agents.
(b) Take the FOCs with respect to z, z, 2, and 3.
(c) Solve for optimal zł, z, zỉ, and z.
