For pareto efficiency (given everything is convex, returns to scale are <=1)
1. MRS of all consumers=Marginal rate of transformation (slope of production possibilites frontier)=p(x)/p(y)
2. MRTS (Rate of technical substitution) for all producers=wage rate/rental rate
Is it necessary that all conditions in 1 and 2 are equal among themselves too? As in, is MRS=MRTS=...==...?
Also, for 2nd welfare theorem to hold, do we require the PPF to be a convex set, or each individual production functions to be convex set?
