7. Changes in incentives Suppose the large number of auto accidents in a small town results in new legislation that requires all citizens of the town to install new anti-lock brakes on their cars. These new brakes cut the time it takes a car to stop by 50%, allowing drivers to avoid collisions with other cars and pedestrians more easily. The new brakes_____ the probability that a vehicle will collide with another vehicle but also give drivers an incentive to drive more_____ , which could potentially_______ the number of car accidents in the town.
3. many areas of the country, aquifers (pools of underground water) serve as the primary water source. Water is extracted from the aquifer using wells and is replenished by rain and rivers. In many places the water is being extracted from the aquifers faster than it is being replenished, causing wells to run dry and farmers to have insufficient water for their crops. To address this, farmers in Kansas have all mutually agreed to reduce their usage of water. After reaching this agreement, each farmer must decide whether to follow the agreement. Assume that if everyone chooses a low level of production, all farmers will have enough water for the entire season. If a farmer chooses a high level of production, they will have more crops to sell but it will reduce the water available (and therefore the crop quality) for all farmers. Specifically, the farmers are faced with the decision shown in the images. a. If the game is played only one time, characterize each farmer’s best strategy.b.…
Question 26 Consider two ways to reduce pollution--establishment of taxes on the pollution or the sale of permits to polluters. Which of the following best describes the outcome? a Both methods can result in the same reduction of pollution, but the permits may achieve that goal with lower administrative costs. b Both methods can result in the same reduction of pollution, but the permits may achieve that goal with higher administrative costs. c The permits will allow more pollution, but both methods will have the same administrative costs. d Both methods can result in the same reduction of pollution and the same adminstrative costs.

3. Voluntary contributions toward a public good Sean and Bob are considering contributing toward the creation of a water fountain. Each can choose whether to contribute $300 to the water fountain or to keep that $300 for a weekend getaway. Since a water fountain is a public good, both Sean and Bob will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.90 of benefit. For example, if both Sean and Bob choose to contribute, then a total of $600 would be contributed to the water fountain. So, Sean and Bob would each receive $540 of benefit from the water fountain, and their combined benefit would be $1,080. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table. Since a weekend getaway is a private good, if Sean chooses to spend $300 on a weekend getaway, Sean would get $300 of benefit from the weekend getaway and Bob wouldn't receive any benefit from Sean's choice. If Sean still spends…

1. Kim owns a Porsche and a Toyota. The Porsche has a fuel economy of 15 miles per gallon (mpg) and she plans to drive it 3,000 miles this year. The Toyota gets 30 miles per gallon and she plans to drive it 15,000 miles this year. Suppose Kim can install a device that improves the fuel economy of any vehicle by 5 miles per gallon. However, she only has one of the devices. Which vehicle should she install it on if her goal is to minimize fuel consumption this year? Assume that the device does not hamper vehicle performance in any way.
