Bart and Lisa are kids. Their parents want to get a pet to keep them busy during a pandemic but they must choose between a dog and cat. Bart's value of the cat is $10 and his value of the dog is $40. Lisa's value of the cat is $30 and her value of the dog is $20. a. What is the efficient pet? [ Select ] ["cat", "dog"] Let's imagine that their parents flip a coin to decide who gets to choose the pet. Heads Lisa chooses and tails Bart chooses. b. If the coin comes up heads and there are no barriers to negotiation, what will Lisa choose? [ Select ] ["cat", "dog"] c. If the coin comes up tails and there are no barriers to negotiation, what will Bart choose? [ Select ] ["cat", "dog"] d. What if there ARE barriers to negotiation and the coin is heads, what will Lisa choose?…
1. Andy lives in an apartment next to Bob. Bob plays loud music, which reduces Andy's enjoyment of the apartment. With no noise, Andy gets $1000 in value from the apart- ment. With noise, Andy gets value of $500. Bob gets $1000 in value from playing his music. He can play quietly so that Andy is undisturbed, but that reduces his valuation by $1300 (so total value -$300). Bob's other option is to stop making playing music entirely. Alternatively, Andy can buy headphones which block out the noise, at a cost of $200. There are thus four possible outcomes 1. Bob plays music loudly, Andy does nothing 2. Bob plays music quietly 3. Bob plays no music at all 4. Bob plays music loudly, Andy gets headphones Consider the following questions: (c) Suppose instead that we are under a damages rule. What will be the outcome? (d) Now suppose that we are back under the property rule, but transaction costs are zero. What will be the outcome (which of (I)-(IV)), and how do you know? (e) What…

The three residents of Smallville are consideringa fireworks display. Clark values this public goodat $80; Lana at $50; and Pete (who dislikesfireworks) at −$30. Fireworks cost the town $120,or $40 per person. The efficient outcome is for thetowna. to provide the public good because the medianperson values it more than its cost per person.b. to provide the public good because a majorityof the residents value it more than its cost perperson.c. to provide the public good because the total valueof a majority exceeds the total cost.d. not to provide the public good because the totalvalue of all residents is less than the total cost.
Bart and Lisa are kids. Their parents want to get a pet to keep them busy during a pandemic but they must choose between a dog and cat. Bart's value of the cat is $20 and his value of the dog is $40. Lisa's value of the cat is $45 and her value of the dog is $15. 1. What is the efficient pet? Let's imagine that their parents flip a coin to decide who gets to choose the pet. Heads Lisa chooses and tails Bart chooses. 2. If the coin comes up heads and there are no barriers to negotiation, what will Lisa choose? 3. If the coin comes up tails and there are no barriers to negotiation, what will Bart choose?
