Ex 8. An airline's data indicate that 50 percent of people who begin the online process of booking a flight never complete the process and pay for the flight. To reduce this percentage, the airline is considering changing its website so that the entire booking process, including flight and seat selection and payment, can be done on two simple pages rather than the current four pages. A random sample of 300 customers who begin the booking process are exposed to the new system, and 117 of them do not complete the process.

- 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 Valerie places a value of $15,000 on the art piece and that she values this art piece more than any other collector. Suppose that if no one else shows up, Valerie simply bids $15,000/2=$7,500 and wins the piece of art. The expected price paid by Valerie, with no other bidders present, is $________.. Suppose the owner of the artwork manages to recruit another bidder, Antonio, to the auction. Antonio is known to value the art piece at $12,000. The expected price paid by Valerie, given the presence of the second bidder Antonio, is $_______. .You are the mayor of a small town with 2000 residents. The head of your economic development agency recently conducted a survey in which the 2000 residents said that a public concert in the centre of town would be worth $20 to each of them. Since it costs only $5000 to hold the concert, you organized and held the concert, which everyone in town enjoyed. But when you asked for donations to pay for the concert, you only collected $30 in total. What do you know? Question 88 options: The concert was an example of the Tragedy of the Commons. From the standpoint of total costs and benefits, the cost of the concert certainly exceeded the benefit. The survey certainly overstated how much the concert was worth to each resident. Residents of the town were probably free riders.Economic Epidemiology Suppose that some members of a population are infected with a sexually transmitted virus that causes disease X, and some are infected with another sexually transmitted virus that causes disease Y. Some members of the population may be infected with both viruses. While diseases X and Y are similar in that they are both sexually transmitted diseases, the disease X is much more harmful to its carriers than the disease Y is to its carriers. Condom use is highly effective in preventing the transmission of either disease. Suppose scientists discover a cure for the sexually transmitted disease X. This cure (a vaccination) will eliminate the virus causing the disease X from its carrier before its carrier can suffer any harm from the virus. Everybody is immediately given this vaccination against the disease X. a What do you expect to happen to the prevalence of the virus causing the disease X in the population? Draw a graph with time on the horizontal axis and prevalence…
- There are N women that all share the same toilet every day in an office building. Each sits on the toilet to use it and must decide whether to put down toilet paper on top of the toilet or sit directly on it. The toilet is cleaned just once a day at a random time and no one knows when this is done. It takes time and effort to put down toilet paper so if she knew the toilet was clean (either because she is the first to use it after it was cleaned or if all previous users after it was last cleaned put down toilet paper) she would rather not put down toilet paper. However, if she believes the toilet is dirty she would rather put down toilet paper. a) Is this game best described as simultaneous or sequential move? b) How many equilibria are there in this game? c) Briefly provide a general description of the equilibria. Which equilibrium/equilibria provide the highest social payoff?Two players bargain over 1 unit of a divisible object. Bargaining starts with an offer of player 1, which player 2 either accepts or rejects. If player 2 rejects, then player 1 makes another offer; if player 2 rejects once more, then player 2 makes an offer. If player 1 rejects the offer of player 2, then once more it is the turn of player 1 where he makes two consecutive offers. As long as an agreement has not been reached this procedure continues. For example, suppose that agreement is reached at period 5, it follows that player 1 makes offers in period 1,2 then player 2 makes an o er in period 3, then player 1 makes offers in 4,5. Negotiations can continue indefinitely, agreement in period 't' with a division (x, 1- x) leads to payoffs ( , (1-x)).(The difference from Rubinstein's alternating offer bargaining is that player one makes two consecutive offers, whereas player 2 makes a single offer in her turn.) a. Show that there is a subgame perfect equilibrium in which player 2's…Study: 30-Year Life Expectancy Gap in 2 Chicago Communities The life expectancy of people living in an affluent community on Chicago's North Side is decades more than people living in a poor African American community on the city's South Side, according to a new study. A New York University School of Medicine analysis reveals that on average, Streeterville residents live to be 90 years old, the Chicago Tribune reported. The typical life expectancy of residents of Englewood, about 9 miles to the south, is roughly 60 years. NYU researchers said the 30-year divide between the two neighborhoods is the nation's largest disparity. The academics studied life expectancies in neighborhoods in America's 500 largest cities based on information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2010 to 2015. Mayor Lori Lightfoot has vowed to improve schools, generate jobs and nurture economic development on struggling neighborhoods in Chicago's West and South Side communities. The study…
- Suppose the large number of bike accidents in a small town results in new legislation that requires all citizens of the town to wear specialized bike helmets when riding. These new helmets reduce the probability of head trauma by 25% during a bike accident. While the new helmets the probability of a serious head injury resulting from a bike accident, they also incentivize cyclists to ride safely, which could the number of bike accidents and thus head injuries to cyclists.You are the manager of an organization in America that distributes blood to hospitals in all 50states and the District of Columbia. A recent report indicates that nearly 50 americans contractHIV each year through blood transfusions. Although every pint of blood donated in the unitedstates undergoes a battery of nine different test, existing screening methods can detect only theantibodies produced by the bodyâs immune system-not foreign agents in the blood, newlyinfected HIV donors can pass along the virus through blood that has passed existing screeningtests. Happily, researchers have developed a series of new tests aimed at detecting and removinginfections from donated blood before it is used in transfusions. The obvious benefit of these testsis reduced incidence of infection through blood transfusions. The report indicates that the currentprice of decontaminated blood is $60 per pint. However, if the new screening methods areadopted, the demand and supply for…You are modeling a qualitative variable that takes on two classes (classes 1 and 2). In trying to classify observation 11 (out of 20) you compute the conditional probability for class 1 as 0.51. How would you classify this observation?
- ADVERSE SELECTIONSomet Health Insurance Company wants to sell a health insurance product for $700 permonth. There is no requirement for healthy people to have insurance coverage. Thecompany conducts a survey to see how different populations respond to the proposed cost.People with no illnesses and disabilities, generally the young and healthy, respond that theydo not spend $700 on healthcare in an entire year, and most feel they would not waste somuch money on premiums when the chance of needing surgery or expensive healthcaretreatments is so small. However, older, sicker people think that $700 per month is a greatdeal, as most of them spend far in excess of this amount on healthcare. It seems like agreat deal for them. What will happen to the costs of the health insurance if only the older, sicker peopleenroll?The mayor of Green City is considering whether to institute a Covid vaccine mandate for public employees. The fire chief opposes vaccination, and has threatened to resign if a mandate is instituted. The mayor believes that instituting a mandate is critical to getting Covid under control, and thus not instituting the mandate would costs the city -50 utility. However, the fire chief is critical to maintaining public safety. If the fire chief resigns, it would cost the city 75 utility. The fire chief believes a mandate would be an invasion of his personal freedom, costing him 20 utility. The mandate only impacts the fire chief if he does not resign. However, resigning his job as fire chief would cost him 40 utility. Draw this game. Identify how many subgames it contains. Then, solve the game to find all subgame perfect Nash equilibria.Bella Robinson and Steve Carson are running for a seat in the U.S. Senate. If both candidates campaign only in the major cities of the state, then Robinson is expected to get 80% of the votes; if both candidates campaign in only rural areas, then Robinson is expected get 75% of the votes; if Robinson campaigns exclusively in the city and Carson campaigns exclusively in the rural areas, then Robinson is expected to get 30% of the votes; finally, if Robinson campaigns exclusively in the rural areas and Carson campaigns exclusively in the city, then Robinson is expected to get 65% of the votes.
