Information goods and the left-digit biasa) Give a real-world example of an information good priced in a way to take advantage of the left-digit bias (provide a web link to the example) b) Information goods have properties that can lead to market failures. What are two solutions that exist in this market that address market failures associated with information goods. c) Briefly describe the left-digit bias and draw how the demand curve is likely to look like if the consumers of the good in your example are left-digit biased. d) Suppose the seller of this good is interested in understanding the causal effect of left-digit bias pricing on revenues. Describe how the seller might be able to use any two of the four empirical methods (randomised experiment, instrumental variable, difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity) presented in the lectures for this purpose. For each method, describe the data you would need and discuss the potential limitations/challenges of applying that…
The Gulf Sea Turtle Conservation Group (GSTCG), a non–profit group of volunteers working to collect data on nesting sea turtles and to promote sea turtle conservation, is considering creating a video to educate people about sea turtle conservation. The cost of duplicating a video on a DVD and mailing the DVD is $5.56. In a GSTCG member meeting, the video plan was discussed. The first two columns of Table 1 below shows the expected demand for the DVD at different suggested donation levels, and they can act as a single-price monopolist if they choose to. The receipts will be used to fund GSTCG supplies for their data collection and conservation work. At the end of each sea turtle nesting season, any excess funds are donated by the GSTCG to a local non-profit sea turtle research and rehabilitation facility. Complete Table 1 by computing the Total Revenue, Marginal Revenue, Total Cost, and Profit columns, each rounded to two decimal places. The cost of duplicating a video on a DVD and…

Amazon.com, the online bookseller, wants to increase its total revenue. One strategy is to offer a 10% discount on every book it sells. Amazon.com knows that its customers can be divided into two distinct groups according to their likely responses to the discount. The accompanying table shows how the two groups respond to the discount. Group A (Sales/Weeks). Group B (Sales/Week). Volume of sales before the 10% discount 1.55 million 1.50 million Volume of sales after the 10% discount. 1.65 million 1.70 million 1. Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticities of demand for group A and group B. 2. Explain how the discount will affect total revenue from each group. 3. Suppose Amazon.com knows which group each customer belongs to when he logs on and can choose whether or not to offer the 10% discount. If Amazon.com wants to increase its total revenue, should discounts be offered to group A or to group B, to neither group, or to both groups?
Paula hires Alfred to manage her store. The left column of the table below shows Alfred’s possible effort levels—low and high. Alfred’s personal disutility in terms of dollars depends on his effort level is shown in the second column. The two right columns show the different profits to Priscilla (before paying Alfred’s salary and ignoring his cost of effort) under Low- and High- demand conditions. effort level alfreds cost to effort low demand profit high demand profit low $0 $20 $60 high $10 $60 $100 It is equally likely that demand will be High or Low: chances are 50/50, regardless of how much effort Alfred exerts. They consider two possible contracts: i. Fixed Wage: Alfred receives a fixed wage of $15 ii. Profit Sharing: Alfred receives a share x of the store’s profits but no wage. Assume, to simplify matters, that both Alfred and Paula are risk neutral. Calculate the net expected payoffs for Alfred and Paula under each possible contract offered by Paula…
