Determining the Efficiency Curve with Neutral Preferences
Consider an exchange economy with two individuals, Sam and Taylor, and two goods, Food and Water. The total available amounts are 100 units of Food and 50 units of Water. Sam's satisfaction depends on both Food and Water, with standard convex preferences. Taylor's satisfaction depends only on the amount of Food they consume; they are completely indifferent to the amount of Water they have. In an Edgeworth box diagram where Sam's origin is the bottom-left and Taylor's is the top-right, describe the location of the set of all Pareto-efficient allocations. Explain your reasoning.

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?

Identifying the Efficiency Curve with Atypical Preferences
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.
