Problem Set 6 1. Consider the following exchange economy. There are two goods and two consumers. The ﬁrst consumer has a utility function U 1 ( x 1 , x 2 ) = x 1 x 2 , and the second consumer has a utility function U 2 ( x 1 , x 2 ) = x 1 + x 2 . Consumer 1 has an initial endowment of 2 units of good 1. Consumer 2 has an initial endowment of two units of good 2. Find a Walrasian equilibrium price for this economy. 2. Consider the following exchange economy. There are two goods and two consumers. The ﬁrst consumer has a utility function U 1 ( x 1 , x 2 ) = x 2 1 x 2 , and the second consumer has a utility function U 2 ( x 1 , x 2 ) = x 1 x 2 2 . Consumer 1 has an initial endowment of 2 units of good 1. Consumer

There are two goods and two consumers. The rst consumer has a utility function U 1 ( x 1 , x 2 ) = min(2 x 1 , x 2 ), and the second consumer has a utility function U 2 ( x 1 , x 2 ) = min(3 x 1 + x 2 , 2 x 1 + 3 x 2 ). Consumer 1 has an initial endowment of 4 units of good 1. Consumer 2 has an initial endowment of 3 units of good 2. Find a Walrasian equilibrium price for this economy....
