When would consumers never exchange?
Pareto Efficient allocation needed for no trade
Occurs when exact same preferences and endowments –> in middle of edgeworth box
When can an allocation be PE without it being on tangency
If it is on the boundary, the core is infeasible, the allocation on the boundary is PE since PE means there are no more feasible allocations
How to derive dimensions of the edgeworth box?
Plug MRS(a) = MRS(b)
Xa = 20 - Xb
Are origins also PE in quasilinear contract curves
Yes
Draw quasilinear contract curve
