A claims representative suspects that an insured has committed fraud in submitting a claim for stolen property by including items that were not stolen.  The claims representative believes that the insurer can deny the claim because of the fraud but does not have sufficient evidence to meet the legal standards to prove fraud.  The claims representative considers offering less that a fair amount to settle the claim in hopes that the insured will accept the settlement.  This course of action would reduce the insurer’s loss from a fraudulent claim, close the claim, and avoid costs associated with trying to prove fraud.  However, despite the claims representative’s suspicions, the insured not may not be guilty of fraud and may be entitled to the full amount of the claim.  There are several factors to consider with his scenario.    Considering the two primary goals of the claims function, which are keeping the insurer’s promise and supporting the insurer’s profit goal, how would they apply…

The ultimatum game is a game in economic experiments. The first player (the proposer) receives a sum of money and proposes a fair proposal (F - 5;5) or unfair proposal (U - 8;2). The second player (the responder) chooses to either accept (A) or reject (R) this proposal. If the second player accepts, the money is split according to the proposal. If the second player rejects, neither player receives any money. 1 A 5:5 2 F R 0:0 U A 8:2 2 1. Find the subgame perfect Nash Equilibrium using backward induction. R 0;0

How does the tort of conversion of personal property differ from trespass to personal property?   In conversion, the true owner is denied use and enjoyment of the property. In conversion, the true owner can recover damages for the denial of use of the property. In conversion, the tortfeasor treats the property as if it is his/her own. In conversion, the plaintiff is entitled to recover punitive damages. In conversion, the defendant must have published his/her use of the property to another.

One method of solving this problem is through signaling. Signaling is a strategy one uses when they have information. The goal is to use a signal to convince the buyer that the good or service that is being sold is quality and will meet the buyer's wants.  Offer an example of a company that uses a signal to help sell its product. What is the signal? What information is the signal trying to convey? Do you think the signal is effective? Why or why not? Does this signal improve market efficiency? Why or why not?

Topic B Problem: Imagine you have two competing athletes who have the option to use an illegal and/or dangerous drug to enhance their performance (i.e., dope). If neither athlete dopes, then neither gains an advantage. If only one dopes, then that athlete gains a massive advantage over their competitor, reduced by the medical and legal risks of doping. However, if both athletes dope, the advantages cancel out, and only the risks remain, putting them both in a worse position than if neither had been doping. What class concept best describes this situation? Using this class concept, what outcome do we expect from these two athletes? Are there any factors that could change the outcome predicted by this course concept?

CHALLENGING EXERCISES 14.7. PRICE COMPETITION WITH SEARCH COSTS. Twenty-five different stores sell the same product in a given area to a population of 2,000 consumers. Consumers are equally likely to first visit any of the 25 stores. Half of the consumers have no search costs and purchase at the lowest price so long as it is lower than $45. The other half is willing to buy one unit of the product up to a maximum of $70 and must incur a cost of $44 in order to find out about the prices charged by other stores. Each store can sell up to 90 units and has a unit cost of $25. (a) Show that, in equilibrium, there exist at most two different prices. (b) Show that, if there exist two different equilibrium prices, then the higher price must be 70. (c) Show that the following is an equilibrium: five firms set a price of 70 and the remaining 20 firms set a price of 45.

Which of the following statements is correct? A social interaction is a strategic interaction where people are aware of the ways that their actions affect each other.

A dominant strategy is the strategy that gives the player the highest payoff, irrespective of the strategies selected by other players.

Please see question bellow and 1st answer. Please help with the 2nd part of the question. What kind of incentives would help with the problem? The black rhino is one of the most endangered species on the planet. In southern Africa in 1970 there were 65,000 Black Rhinos. Now there are only 2,500. Basic economics tells us why they are in trouble and what we can try to do about it. Why do people kill the black rhino? Because they can make a lot of money relative to the risk of getting caught - just like drug trafficking and lying on your taxes. In Asian communities the horn is viewed as an aphrodisiac and a powerful pain reliever. In Yemen sabers are made from them. As a result one horn can fetch $30K on the black market. The average yearly income in southern Africa is $1,000 and falling. The black rhino is worth more dead than alive. This is a market that does not correct itself. Another piece of this, that is common to many environmental challenges, is that most black rhinos are…

Screening and Imperfect Information Asymmetric information refers to a market where one side (either the buyer or the seller, but usually the buyer) has less information than the other side of the market. When there is asymmetric information in a market, markets are inefficient because the side with less information doesn't want to take the risk involved in buying (or selling) the good or service. One method of solving this problem is through screening. Screening is a strategy one uses when they don't have information. A screen can be any indicator that lets the screener know if the good or service is reliable and will meet the screener's wants. • Offer an example of when you used screening to solve a lack of information. What kind of screen did you use? • Was the screen effective? Were you happy with the result?

Common Cause, a trade union for construction workers, recently took up the case of a worker whose was injured on-site and given no compensation by Hilson Developers. Since incidents like this were frequent, Common Cause began negotiating safer conditions of employment for construction workers with the Federation of Urban Developers. After three rounds of talks, the Federation was still unwilling to increase safety measures. It also refused to increase the compensation for an injured worker and his/her family until the employee was fit to re-join work as it was a nonproductive expenditure. The trade union representatives held onto their stance that since most construction workers were daily wage laborers, they were completely dependent on the developers to provide compensation when they were injured and unable to work. The contract negotiations have now come to a stand still. This is an example of a _____. A.bargaining impasse B.slowdown C. checkoff provision D. lockout E.…

Which of the following are true about remedies? 1) Specific performance is only available for goods that are easily replaced. 2) A warranty is a contract term that entitles a party to rescission of the contract. 3) 4) Recission goes backwards, money or property is returned; damages goes forwards, meaning the plaintiff claims their loss of profit. According to the principle of remoteness, if unusual circumstances were not communicated to the offending party at the time the contract was formed, damages for the unusual circumstances are not recoverable by the plaintiff. 5) A person claiming frustration must establish that the event arose without either party's fault. 6) Everyone who suffers a breach of contract has a duty to mitigate.

Question- In Parkland County there are three residents: ANDREW, BETH, CATHY. They exercise different amounts and have different marginal        benefits for any given size of public park. The marginal benefits for each person are: MBA (A) =6-A/4; MBB (A) =14-A; MBC (A)=15-3A, where subscripts denote each person. The marginal cost of A acres of park is 18. Suppose the county government informs the voters that for each unit of A, each person will pay a tax of $6. What would be each person's preferred size of A? What would be the size of A that would result from voting? Suppose that the government of Parkland decides that it wants to provide the efficient size of park. Further suppose that the government decides it is now willing to charge different people a different tax to meet this goal. What would be the size of A ? How much will the government charge each person?
