Edgeworth Box

If I had initial endowments XA = (0, X2), and XB = (X1, 0) Is there any impact if both goods were inferior, X2 for A and X1 for B? If I started with one equilibrium p* and went to another p* that had a higher price for X1, could the second p* be an equilibrium (using a Slutsky decomposition and keeping in mind the inferiorit ...continues
