Suppose the administration of a University that is located a high-crime urban area mustdecide on a policy to increase policing on its campus. The student population is 10,500 students but iscould increase if crime is reduced. The cost of added policing in terms of additional salary and equipmentis estimated to be $2.4 million per year. Suppose the administration plans to make their decision with thehelp of a benefit cost analysis of the policy. VSL is $11.8 million a. Explain how the concept of Value of a Statistical Life might factor into a benefit cost analysis of thispolicy. b. How many lives would need to be save to justify the added policing costs if only prevented deathswere considered as the policy benefit? c. Suppose it is believed that student enrollment will increase in the future if crime on campus is reduced.Write a formula to calculate the present value of benefits of policing if student enrollment increases by4% each year.
a) Describe the First Welfare Theorem. b) What are the tenets? Please list out with some detail. c) Describe the tenet that is subjective and how our analysis does not do a good job at overcoming this facet. d) Pick one of the tenets and provide an example of when it is violated in the real world and describe how the market outcome and optimal outcome are not aligned.
Budget Constraints: Sam has an income of $1000 a week from a rental property he owns. Sam also has a job as a legal assistant where he gets paid $50 an hour for the first 50 hours he works. However, he can’t work for more than 50 hours, so for every hour, he works more than 50 he can work as a cashier making 20 an hour. John’s time endowment is 100 hours. a) Draw and label Sam's budget constraint b) What is John’s maximum potential income? c) What is the price/hour of leisure when Sam works fewer than 50 hours, and more than 50 hours/week? Need help for a b c . Thanks
1. Second Fundamental Theorem of Welfare Economicsa. Describe the theorem, making sure that you define clearly the terms used in thedescription (e.g. if you use the term “efficient” you have to describe what this means).b. Explain why the theorem implies that there is no intrinsic trade-off between efficiencyand interpersonal equity. c. Demonstrate your argument using an Edgeworth box, making sure that you describe allthe elements of the box appropriately.
6 Assume you can work as many hoursyou wish at £12 per hour (net of tax). If you do not work you have noincome. You have no ability to borrow or lend, so your consumption,c , is simply equal to your income. d) Now assume that you receive an income of £140 per week from anunknown benefactor. Show the impact on your feasible set and show anew optimal choice in which consumption increases but labour supplydecreases. Using the concept of the marginal rate of substitution, explainwhy this is a likely outcome. Please illustrate on a diagram so I can better understand it please thank you.
. Evaluate whether it violated or justify WARP conditionality: A consumer makes the following choices (when you develop the matrix, show the calculation process for the first row) a. At prices (p1,p2)=($4,$4) the choice was (x1,x2) = (20,4). b. At (p1,p2)=($2,$2) the choice was (x1,x2) = (10,10). c. At (p1,p2)=($2,$4) the choice was (x1,x2) = (10,8).
6 Assume you can work as many hoursyou wish at £12 per hour (net of tax). If you do not work you have noincome. You have no ability to borrow or lend, so your consumption,c , is simply equal to your income. d) Now assume that you receive an income of £140 per week from anunknown benefactor. Show the impact on your feasible set (nb : be morecareful than Stephen was in his diagrams in Autumn Week 5!), and show anew optimal choice in which consumption increases but labour supplydecreases. Using the concept of the marginal rate of substitution, explainwhy this is a likely outcome.e)Now assume that, starting from the optimal point in d), your wageincreases to £18 per hour. Explain why the impact of this change isambiguous, and relate to the longrun historical experience of wagegrowth in rich countries. Please help me solve 6 e and illustrate on a diagram so I can better understand it please thank you.
Consider a worker who earns $20/hour in the labor market and receives $50 per week innon-labor income. Assume the total number of hours available for work (h) and leisure(L) is 168 hours per week (i.e., ? = 168 = ℎ + ?). a. Draw the budget constraint for this individual. Label the endowment point. b. What is the maximum value of consumption that this individual could achieve ina week? c. In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act requires workers to be paid 1.5times their usual hourly wage for “overtime” work, defined as work in excess of40 hours in a week. If this law applies to the worker described above, how does itchange the budget constraint? d. Now suppose Congress passes an income tax. The income tax applies to labor andnon-labor income. The Fair Labor Standard Act is still in effect. The first $1,000in weekly income is exempt from the tax. However, every dollar above $1,000 istaxed at a rate of 10%. (To be clear: the tax on $1,000 in income is 0, the tax on$1,001 is…

a. A young connoisseur has $600 to spend to build a smallwine cellar. She enjoys two vintages in particular: a 2001French Bordeaux (wF) at $40 per bottle and a less expensive 2005 California varietal wine (wC) priced at $8. Ifher utility is U (wF, wC))=wF2/3 w C1/3 ,then how much of each wine should she purchase?b. When she arrived at the wine store, this young oenologistdiscovered that the price of the French Bordeaux hadfallen to $20 a bottle because of a decrease in the valueof the euro. If the price of the California wine remainsstable at $8 per bottle, how much of each wine shouldour friend purchase to maximize utility under thesealtered conditions?c. Explain why this wine fancier is better off in part (b)than in part (a). How would you put a monetary value onthis utility increase?
Prohibiting the affordable housing lottery winners from subletting their apartments . . .(a) Essentially makes the policy an in-kind program like food stamps.(b) Always raises utility of lottery winners compared to a policy where they can sublet some or all ofthe time.(c) Insures that the economic inefficiency from an affordable housing policy is minimized.(d) Insures that they are not able to use their good luck to exploit others’ misfortune.(e) Both (a) and (b).
