Hi guys
![]() I want to confirm that what will be pareto efficient allocations if b (beta) > a (alpha). What I have got is for the market of X to clear, price of X should be zero (which is the answer for the question). So, in that case agent 2 cannot buy anything and agent 1 will buy a units from 1, and maximizing his utility. So, pareto efficient allocation can be Agent 1 : (a, a) Agent 2: (b-a, 0) Other pareto efficient allocations can be with more than a units of x with agent 1 and correspondingly less with 2 which won't change the utility. Is this correct? |

Yeah, except these are competitive equilibrium allocations. All allocations between the two lines xa=ya and xb=yb are pareto efficient irrespective of the price ratio.

Thanks!
From where are you studying General Equilibrium theory? Sometimes I still get confused on these questions. |

There isn't much to the theory, practice more problems and you'll be comfortable eventually.

If Beta< Alpha, there will be an excess demand for x since both individuals demand equal amounts of both commodities. Since there is an excess demand for x its price cannot be equal to 0

Since firm 2 has a lower Ac than firm 1 it can set price= MC at 3/2 and earn 0 profit (firm 1 then produces nothing & also earns 0 profit ). However by setting price greater than 3/2 firm 2 can earn some profit. Substituting prices given in the options in the firms profit function firm 2 earns the same profit in both cases as shown in option d. Thats what i think, though it seems a bit vague

Form the payoff matrix by calculating profits for each firm in each case and then find Nash equilibria, you will see that D is the best option.
