Question
(a) There is an economy with three goods: Audis (a), BMWs (b), and
Cadillacs (c). There
are 10 total units of each good. Klaus has utility function UK(ab,
c) = a+b, while Larry
has utility function UL(a, b, c) = c. Describe the set of Pareto
efficient allocations in this
economy (i.e., the contract curve). Note: You should not try to do
this mathematically.
Use the definition of Pareto efficiency and do your best to
describe verbally what the
set of Pareto efficient allocations is.
(b) Consider the same economy as in part (a), but add a third
agent, Mary, who has utility
function UM(a, b, c) = b + c. Again, describe the set of Pareto
efficient allocations.
