Questions 1. Consider a 3-consumer, 3-commodity exchange economy. Index the consumers as a, b, c and commodities as 1,2,3. Use the lettere to indicate endowments, x to indicate commodities, and p to indicate prices. Also use superscript for commodities and subscripts for consumers. For example, the endowment of commodity 1 held by consumer a should be denoted as ea. NOTE: DO NOT USE THE SIGN. USE THE NORMAL "+" SIGN FOR ADDITONS. You have to write out the elements of each vector in your equation using the appropriate notation as described above. For example, if x is a (3 x 1) vector and if its elements are denoted as X1, X2, X3, you should write x₂

Price ($/ton) Sus A 350 B 300 E 200 G Dus K 100 10 15 20 Quantity of Sugar (milliontons) A) Using the prior graph if the U.S. did not trade what price would the good cost? If the world price was $200 what quantity would the U.S. produce? What quantity would be imported. What is consumer surplus at the world price? What is producer surplus at the world price? (Using labels do not use math) Who benefits from the free trade and who gets hurt? B) If the U.S. government puts a tariff on the good so now the price is $300 who benefits, who is hurt? What quantity will U.S. producers now produce? What happens to consumer surplus and producer surplus at this new price? What does the government gain from the tariff? C) Who benefits from free trade overall? Who benefits from trade restrictions? Why is a tariff the most used trade restriction?

Task 5: Consumption as young and consumption as old Now suppose Mary is thinking about her retirement and wants to understand how much to save. Today she can either con- sume or save for retirement. During her young, working life she will make 100.000 euros. Thus, her current budget constraint is Cy + S = 100.000. In her retirement she has no income, only the amount she saved as young. She can save at a rate of (1+r). So, her budget constraint as old is Co = (1+r)S. (a) Write Mary's lifetime budget constraint as plot it in a graph. Tip: Solve for savings while old and substitute in the young budget constraint. (b) Mary's utility from consumption as young and consumption as old is U(Cy,Co) = 1-0 Solve Mary's maximization problem. What is the MRS and the MRT? (c) Suppose Mary wins the lottery while young. What is the effect on her optimal decision for consumption as young and as old? (d) The local bank decided to increase the interest rate on savings. Discuss the effect of this increase…
