The town of Fenerbahce has hired world‐class econometricians to investigate their criminal justice system. The researchers report an interesting finding. People who were previously detected and punished by law enforcers gain a better understanding of the functioning of the law enforcement system, and are better able to exploit laws designed to protect defendants against the state. Thus, people who have been detected and punished before are better able to avoid detection and punishment. In particular, theyreport the following facts: ‐ The offense of jay‐walking causes social harm of $100.‐ A person who has never been punished for jaywalking before faces a 0.5probability of being detected while jaywalking.‐ A person who has been punished before for jaywalking faces a probability of0.25 of being detected while jaywalking. The town wants to implement optimal punishment schemes. It is well known thateveryone in Fenerbahce is risk‐neutral and rich (i.e. not judgment proof). Moreover, the…
Two partners start a business. Each has two possible strategies, spend full time or secretly take a second job and spend only part time on the business. Any profits that the business makes will be split equally between the two partners, regardless of whether they work full time or part time for the business. If a partner takes a second job, he will earn $20,000 from this job plus his share of profits from the business. If he spends full time on the business, his only source of income is his share of profits from this business. If both partners spend full time on the business, total profits will be $200,000. If one partner spends full time on the business and the other takes a second job, the business profits will be $80,000. If both partners take second job, the total business profits are $20,000. a) This game has no pure strategy Nash equilibria, but has a mixed strategy equilibrium. b) This game has two Nash equilibria, one in which each partner has an income of $100,000 and one in…

In the city of Swiftsure, there is only one crime, armed robbery. The city recently decided to double the probability of imprisonment from 10 percent (10 percent of armed robberies result in a prison sentence) to 20 percent. Because the city has a fixed prison capacity, it also cut the average prison sentence in half, from 3 years to 1.5 years. a. Would you expect these changes in the city’s crime policy to increase, decrease, or not affect the city’s crime rate? Explain why. b. would you expect these changes to increase, decrease, or not affect the total cost of crime (the sum of victim and prevention costs.
True or false 1. A perceived disadvantage of Rawls's social justice theory is that it does not consider the fact that people would not want to maximize benefits for the least advantaged persons 2. Ethical relativism is a moral theory which holds that individuals must decide what is ethical based on their own feelings about what is right and wrong. 3. Utilitarianism is a moral theory that chooses the greatest good to society but does not mean the greatest good for the greatest number of people. 4. According to Rawls's “social justice” theory, a person who is in a state of "veil of ignorance" is best fit to select the fairest possible ethical principles. Please help, & thank you!

5. Individual Problems 18-5 When a famous painting becomes available for sale, it is often known which museum or collector will be the likely winner. Yet, the auctioneer actively woos representatives of other museums that have no chance of winning to attend anyway. Suppose a piece of art has recently become available for sale and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with the winner paying an amount equal to the second highest bid. Assume that most collectors know that Simone places a value of $65,000 on the art piece and that she values this art piece more than any other collector. Suppose that if no one else shows up, Simone simply bids $65,0002=$32,500$65,0002=$32,500 and wins the piece of art. The expected price paid by Simone, with no other bidders present, is . Suppose the owner of the artwork manages to recruit another bidder, Yakov, to the auction. Yakov is known to value the art piece at $52,000. The expected price paid by Simone, given the…
