Consider a two-person two-good pure exchange economy with strictly convex preferences and endowments, which are not Pareto efficient. Using an Edgeworth box, compare the First and the Second Welfare Theorem. a. b. C. If the budget constraint in (a) rotates on the same endowment point due to a change in the price ratio of the two goods, would the two markets still be in an equilibrium? Use Walras' Law to explain the implication. Use your own example to explain the concept of Pareto improvement.
