- In the Salop circle model, if all consumers get more pleasure from ice cream (u increases), how does the equilibrium change?arrow_forwardRahim and Karim are two brothers. Rahim got 4 ice creams and 6 chocolates and Karim received 6 ice creams and 4 chocolates from heaven (the economy is assumed with no production and the amounts of goods they received as the initial endowments). The two brothers have the same Cobb-Doughlas preference structure. Draw the Edgeworth box and level the initial endowments. What is Pareto improvement? Does Pareto improvement possible here? If yes, show the Pareto improvement area in the Edgeworth box.arrow_forwardWhy is Nordhaus's optimal trajectory higher than 2 degrees?arrow_forward
- Is the pareto principle generally accepted as true or accurate? Or is it considered not true?arrow_forwardBartholomew and Agatha are each endowed with 15 units of food and 15 units of clothing. For Bartholomew, the two goods are perfect substitutes, i.e., U³ = FB + C³. For Agatha, the two goods are perfect complements, i.e., Uª = min{F^, 2C^}. Do all of the following in just one graph or chart: Draw an Edgeworth box (with the correct dimensions). Note: Assign clothing on the vertical axis (label it "C") and food on the horizontal axis (label it "F"). Assign Agatha's origin at the lower left corner, while Bartholomew's at the upper right.

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.arrow_forward
- Pareto efficiency, or Pareto optimality, is an economic state where resources cannot be reallocated to make one individual better off without making at least one individual worse off. Pareto efficiency implies that resources are allocated in the most economically efficient manner, but does not imply equality or fairness. An economy is said to be in a Pareto optimum state when no economic changes can make one individual better off without making at least one other individual worse off.To simplify analysis and discussion the model for general equilibrium uses the two person, two goods and two resources (or 2 X 2 X 2 model). The investigation is done in three steps:• Consumption efficiency • Production efficiency• A combination of Consumption and Production efficiencies. Critically analyze the concept of Pareto efficiency. Use relevant theory and diagrams to support your analysis.arrow_forwardCarol and Bob both consume the same goods in an economy of pure exchange. Carol is initially endowed with 9 units of good 1 and 6 units of good 2. Bob is initially endowed with 18 units of good 1 and 3 units of good 2. They both have the utility function U(x₁, x₂) = 1/3 2/3 x1³x2³.

- Why does the ceteris paribus assumption allow economists to focus on the variable they are interested in? Give an example.arrow_forwardWhen two individuals enter an exchange, you can be sure that one person benefits and that the other person loses. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardQ.4. Example 1.D.1: Suppose that X = {x,y,z}, B = {{x,y}, {y,z},{x,z}}, C({x,y}_ = {x}, C({y,z}) = {y} and C({x,z})={z} This choice structure satisfies the weak axiom. Nevertheless, we cannot have rationalizing preferences. How do we know if this choice structure satisfies the weak axiom? Given the C({x,y}) = x, C({y,z}), shouldn't C({x,z}) = x? if we have to always make the same choice based on WARP.arrow_forward
