The 1994 market shares of the firms in the market for paper towels in the United States were: Procter & Gamble 37%, Scott 18%, James River 12%, Georgia-Pacific 11%, Kimberly-Clark 4%, with the remaining 18% spread among several smaller firms. a. Find the HHI for the market. (Note: you must create imaginary market shares for the firms in “Other” when calculating HHIs. The usual practice is to make the shares as large as possible, given that they are at most as large as the smallest listed firm, which in this case was Kimberly-Clark.) b. One way of putting some intuition behind the HHI is to calculate how many equal-sized firms would generate the HHI of some actual industry. To do so, calculate the HHI in terms of fractional market shares (e.g., use .48 instead of 48%, and do NOT multiply the sum by 10,000). Then, for n equal size firms, the HHI = n(si2) = n(1/n)2 = 1/n. Find the number of identical-sized firms that would generate the HHI you found in part a.

Assume that driving skill, S, varies throughout the population. Automobile insurers classify drivers into two categories: “Good” and “Bad”. Good drivers are those people who have driving skills above a threshold level of driving skill, S*. Bad drivers, on the other hand, have driving skills that fall below the threshold level, S*. Good drivers pay lower rates than Bad drivers. Additionally, assume that it’s common knowledge that Welsh are more skillful drivers than Scots, such that a higher proportion of the Welsh population has driving skills above S* than the Scottish population. Also assume that there is a law that prohibits insurers from learning a person’s driving skill. Suppose that drivers can decide to use a new device that will send credible real time driving data to their insurance company (e.g., speed, stopping distance, driving times, etc.) that allows insurers to correctly classify a driver as having skill greater than or less than S*. Which group would be most likely to…
