Assume that President Trump develops an executive agreement with Russia this month, which will reduce taxes on imports from the country as way to promote cordial international business interests. This executive agreement is directly in conflict with a foreign tax treaty issued by Congress in May of last year. Assuming the president has the power to develop this agreement what is the likely outcome? The congressional treaty is discriminatory on its face and will be deemed unconstitutional O The President's order will supercede the congressional treaty O The President's order is in direct conflict with Congress' enumerated powers to tax and therefore will be struck down O The congressional treaty will be upheld

Imagine a scenic canyon, visited by many local people as well as tourists from beyondthe local area. Consider a scenario in which a mining company has proposed to the localauthority that it be closed to the public and put into the production of coal. Thinking interms of economics as a way of adjudicating the relative value of one use of the canyon overthe other, what would you need to know in order to make a comparison or assessment?What kinds of quantitative data would inform your decision, and where might they comefrom? What kinds of things might you need to know that are hard to measure? Once youhave listed the kinds of information and data that might be available to inform this decision, do you think it would be sufficient to making this decision, why or why not?

8. Two states, A and B, have signed an arms-control agreement. This agreementcommits them to refrain from building certain types of weapons. The agreement is supposed tohold for an indefinite length of time. However, A and B remain potential enemies who wouldprefer to be able to cheat and build more weapons than the other. The payoff table for A (player1, the row player) and B (player 2, the column player) in each period after signing thisagreement is below. a) First assume that each state uses Tit-for-Tat (TFT) as a strategy in this repeated game.The rate of return is r. For what values of r would it be worth it for player A to cheat bybuilding additional weapons just once against TFT? b) For what values of r would it be worth deviating from the agreement forever to buildweapons? c) Convert both values you found in parts a and b to the equivalent discount factor dusing the formula given in lecture and section. d) Use the answers you find to discuss the relationship between d and r:…

When constant marginal cost > 0, marginal net benefit (P-MC) increases at the rate ofinterest.17.

Suppose that an incumbent can commit to producing a large quantity of outputbefore the potential entrant decides whether to enter. So, the incumbent Örst chooseswhether to produce a small quantity or a large quantity. The rival then decides whether toenter. If the incumbent commits to the small output level and if the rival does not enter,the rival makes $0 and the incumbent makes $900. If it does enter, the rival makes $125and the incumbent earns $450. If the incumbent commits to producing the large quantity,and the potential entrant stays out of the market, the potential entrant makes $0 and theincumbent makes $800. If the rival enters, the best the entrant can make is $0, the sameamount it would earn if it didnít enter, but the incumbent earns only $400. Show the gametree. What is the SPNE?

The New York City Council is ready to vote on two billsthat authorize the construction of new roads in Manhattanand Brooklyn. If the two boroughs join forces, they can passboth bills, but neither borough by itself has enough powerto pass a bill. If a bill is passed, then it will cost the taxpayersof each borough $1 million, but if roads are built in aborough, the benefits to the borough are estimated to be $10million. The council votes on both bills simultaneously, andeach councilperson must vote on the bills without knowinghow anybody else will vote. Assuming that each boroughsupports its own bill, determine whether this game has anyequilibrium points. Is this game analogous to the Prisoner’sDilemma? Explain why or why not.

Is this method neutral?(b) Suppose the rules say that a candidate wins if he or she receivesa number of votes that is between 60 and 89. (If neither candidategets a winning number of votes, then the election is a tie.) Is thismethod monotone?(c) Suppose the rules say that a candidate wins if he or she receives anodd number of votes. (If neither candidate gets a winning numberof votes, then the election is a tie.) Is this method decisive?(d) Suppose that the rules say that Smith wins the election no matterwhat. Is this method anonymous?
