Edgeworth Box
Edgeworth Box
Definitions
a diagram devised by F. Y. Edgeworth, in the form of a box which plots the indifference curves of two individuals or firms relative to the consumption or production of two goods. The contract curve plotted shows the points where the utility to the two individuals or firms is equal. analytical tool for determining the contract curve used in welfare economics. It is caused by the combination of the indifference curve systems of two exchange partners
For this, the two systems must be arranged so that a square-wave form, that is, the Indifferenzkurve system B is rotated through 180 ° and placed on the A. The edge lengths of the resulting rectangle correspond to the available factor or goods inventory. Inside of the resulting Edgeworth box now cut some indifference curves, while others affect itself. The points that affect them, forming Kontraktkurve.analytisches instrument for the identification of the contract curve used in welfare economics. It is caused by the combination of the indifference curve systems of two exchange partners
Health Economics
Named after the Oxford economist Francis Ysidro Edgeworth (1845-1926), this is a diagram showing the possible allocations of given quantities of two goods between two people and how, given conventional assumptions about their preferences, they can achieve a Pareto-optimal distribution of the goods between them from any initial starting distribution. Sometimes called simply ' box diagram '. synonymBox Diagram
A diagram used in welfare economics to elucidate efficient resource allocations. Similar analytics are used in the case of two goods and two producers (jurisdictions, industries or firms). pure exchange economy is an economy that consists of consumers who trade goods, but there is no production process. Each “agent” (consumer) has an initial stock (“endowment”) of commodities, and given the prevailing prices each agent trades with other agents so as to maximize his or her utility.
