Pareto Efficiency Curve (Contract Curve)
Activity: Finding and Sketching the Pareto Efficiency Curve Under Various Scenarios
This is an application-based activity where one must determine and graphically illustrate the Pareto efficiency curve for different economic contexts or under varying assumptions about preferences and production functions. This task involves identifying the full set of Pareto-efficient allocations and then plotting them to visualize the curve.

Determining the Pareto Efficiency Curve with a Cobb-Douglas Utility Function
Consider an economy with two individuals (Person A and Person B) and a total of 10 units of Good X and 10 units of Good Y. Both individuals only gain satisfaction by consuming the goods together in a fixed one-to-one ratio (e.g., they are equally happy with 3 units of X and 3 units of Y as they are with 3 units of X and 5 units of Y). An allocation is considered efficient if it is impossible to make one person more satisfied without making the other less satisfied. In a standard allocation diagram where the dimensions are 10x10, Person A's consumption is measured from the bottom-left corner and Person B's from the top-right. Which of the following best describes the set of all efficient allocations?

Determining the Efficiency Curve with Neutral Preferences
In a pure exchange economy with two individuals (A and B) and two goods (X and Y), the set of all Pareto-efficient allocations forms a curve. Match each of the following preference scenarios to the correct description of this curve within a standard Edgeworth box diagram.
