Consider a pure exchange economy with two individuals (call A and B) and two goods (called X and Y ). Individual A has 120 units of good Y but no good X, and A's utility function is given by UA(xA, yA) = ln(xA)+ln(yA). Individual B has 90 units of good X but no good Y , and B's utility function is given by UB(xB, yB) = 2 ln(xB) + ln(yB).
