Answer the following questions:
(1). Define the Second fundamental theorem. Use the Edgeworth
box to explain.
(2). And write down the Samuelson’s condition for the optimal
provision of a public good. Use an example to explain your
understanding of it.
(3) And explain the similarities and differences between a
Prisoner dilemma and the game of Chicken for voluntary provision of

Explain.
c.
Indicate a point in the box which is Pareto optimal. Explain.

Explain Greens theorem, divergence form usung words and pictures.
Then explain what the fundamental theorem of calculus and the

2. The Second Fundamental Theorem of Welfare Economics says that
any point on the contract curve can be supported by a competitive
equilibrium. This question has you illustrate and explain this
argument. Start with an Edgeworth box diagram for a two-person, two
good economy. In your diagram assume that there is a total of 100
units of food and 100 units of clothing which will be split between
two people (Person A and Person B).
(a) Let’s say that the...
Explain, using the Edgeworth Box diagram, how relative prices
adjust to ensure that a general equilibrium is achieved in a
competitive market economy. Discuss the First and Second
Fundamental Theorems of Welfare Economics.
