Question

Q1. Consider the split-a-dollar game covered in class. Suppose that if the two agents agree on (0.5, 0.5), each will get additional 0.1 without incurring any cost. People's utility is strictly increasing in the share. Indicate all the Pareto efficient allocations on the $x_1 - x_2$ plane.

Step 1

If they agree on (0.5, 0.5), they each get an additional 0.1. The utility of each agent is strictly increasing in their share of the dollar. We need to find all Pareto efficient allocations on the $x_1 - x_2$ plane, where $x_1$ is the share of agent 1 and $x_2$ Show more…
