Throw-away paradox with independent goods The throw-away paradox is a situation in which a trader can gain by throwing away some of his initial endowment.

The specific example, brought by Aumann and Peleg in 1974, concerns an economy with two commodities and two traders:


In one situation, the initial endowments are (20,0) and (0,10). In competitive equilibrium, the bundle of trader A is (4,2).
In the second situation, trader A throws away 10 units of commodity x, so the initial endowment is now (10,0) and (0,10). In equilibrium, the bundle of trader A is (5,5) - more of ''every'' commodity than in the first situation!


In their example, both traders have the same utility function, which has the following characteristics:


It is homothetic;
The slope of the indifference curves at (y,y) is -1;
The slope of the indifference curves at (2y,y) is -1/8.


One such function is $$u(x,y)=\frac{1}{(x+ay)^{-3}+(ax+y)^{-3}}$$

But, in this example, the products are dependent.

MY QUESTION IS: Is there an example of such a "throw away paradox", when the products are independent?

NOTE: both products are goods (have non-negative utility).
It seems (from the first page, at least; I don't have JSTOR access right now) that the essence of Aumann and Peleg's example is that


  this rise in price of the commodity [trader A] holds is more than enough to compensate for the drop in the amount.


One similar situation from history occurred during the New Deal, when farmers were paid to plough over cotton fields and send hogs to be slaughtered for no reason, in order to take excess quantities of these goods off the market.

Obviously, the difference here is that this was a centralized intervention in a decentralized (and huge) market. The set of incentives are more complicated, and the many "trader A's" in this scenario were compensated for throwing away their goods. But the sentiment is very similar.
