Suppose that x* = (x*1, x*2,..., x*n) is a Pareto-efficient allocation in an exchange economy (example 1.117) in which each of the n consumers has an endowment wi l+ of the l commodities. Assume that
¢ Individual preferences ¿i are convex, continuous and strongly monotonic
¢ x* is a feasible allocation, that is
Show that there exists
¢ A list of prices p* l+ and
¢ A system of lump-sum taxes and transfers t n with i ti = 0
such that (p*, x*) is a competitive equilibrium in which each consumer's after-tax wealth is mi = (p*)Twi + ti.
