- 18.3: Pareto Optimality
- The previous section used an Edgeworth Box with a price vector to find the initial equilibrium solution. In this chapter, we use the Edgeworth Box to display the optimal solution. The price vector is removed because prices play no role in determining the optimal solution. Just as with partial equilibrium, we logically separate the equilibrium from the optimal solution. If the two agree, then we know we have a good result.
