Consider an Edgeworth economy where there are two citizens, Mr. Cortopassi and Ms. Thomas. There are only two goods to be consumed in the economy, Beer and Pretzels. The total amount of Beer is 12 units. The total amount of Pretzels is 12 units. Answer the following: Suppose Mr. Cortopassi has utility for the two goods characterized as U C (B,P) = B + P. Ms. Thomas's utility function is U T (B,P) = B + P. Identify the points that are Pareto efficient.
What will be an ideal response?
Since the MRSs of the two are equal at every point in the Edgewood Box, every point is Pareto.
