Becky and Sarah are sisters 1who share a room. Their room can easily get messy, and their parents am always telling them to tidy it. Here are the costs and benefits to both Becky and Sarah, of taking the time to clean their room: If both Becky and Sarah clean, they each spends two hours and get a clean room. If Becky decides not to clean and Sarah does all the cleaning, then Sarah spends 10 hours cleaning (Becky spends 0) but Sarah is exhausted. The same would occur for Becky if Sarah decided not to cleanâ€”Becky spends 10 hours and becomes exhausted. If both girls decide not to clean, they both have a dirty room. What is the best outcome for Becky and Sarah? What is the worst outcome? (It would help you to construct a prisoners dilemma table.) Unfortunately, we know that the optimal outcome will most liker not happen, and that the sisters probably will choose the worst one instead. Explain what it is about Beckys and Sarahs reasoning that will lead them both to choose the worst outcome.
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…

1.0 National income – The Pandemic Economy 1.1 The IMF estimates that the global economy will make a strong recovery and expand by 6.0 percent in 2021. This follows from an estimated contraction of 3.3 percent in 2020. COVID-19 has severely impacted the social and economic fabric of every country across the globe. Some have been more affected than others, but all have been facing what seems like an unending battle between saving lives and preserving livelihoods. Striking a delicate balance between providing social protection and maintaining economic activity, while limiting the risks to financial stability has been a challenge of immense proportions, employing varying strategies across different countries with uneven results. 1.2 In Trinidad and Tobago, the continuation of the pandemic and the associated public health restrictions undermined all the economic gains realized in the second half of 2020. Consequently, for the first quarter of 2021, the CSO estimates that real GDP at…

(1.)Telecommuting refers to a system under which employees work at home for one or more days per week and use personal computers and telephone lines to interact with people in the office. Consider an office firm that must decide whether to locate in the Central Business District or along a suburban beltway (to be closer to its suburban workforce). Discuss the effects of telecommuting on the relative attractiveness of the CBD. (2.)Consider a modern city in which office employment has been steadily shifting from the city center to suburban locations along beltways. Suppose that the city improves its mass-transit system, decreasing the monetary and time costs of radial travel. Assume that the improvement in the transit system does not affect the spatial distribution of residents. Will the improvement in the system speed up or slow down the movement of office firms to the suburbs?
