  • Mathematically Deriving the Pareto Efficiency Curve for the Angela-Bruno Interaction

  • 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.
