Assume that there are two parties, I and V. I engages in an activity that tends to injure V. V and I both can take care to reduce the expected harm from accidents. Specifically, suppose that if I takes no care (i.e., spends $0 on accident precautions), expected injury to V is $250. If I spends $40 on accident precautions, however, the expected injury to V is reduced to $175. Further suppose that V has a choice between taking no care or spending $50 in care to avoid accidents. If V spends $50 in care, V’s expected harm falls by $20 regardless of the level of care that I takes. Assume that courts adopt the socially‐optimal level of injurer care as the negligence standard. That is, if I takes less than the socially‐optimal level of care, she will be found negligent and must pay for all damages to V. If I takes at least the socially optimal level of care, she will not have to compensate V for his damages. 1. Under a negligence standard, what is I’s dominant strategy? a) I does not have a…
Assume that there are two parties, I and V. I engages in an activity that tends to injure V. V and I both can take care to reduce the expected harm from accidents. Specifically, suppose that if I takes no care (i.e., spends $0 on accident precautions), expected injury to V is $25. If I spends $5 on accident precautions, however, the expected injury to V is reduced to $18. Further suppose that V has a choice between taking no care or spending $4 in care to avoid accidents. If V spends $4 in care, V’s expected harm falls by $2 regardless of the level of care that I takes. Assume that courts adopt the socially-optimal level of injurer care as the negligence standard. That is, if I takes less than the socially-optimal level of care, she will be found negligent and must pay for all damages to V. If I takes at least the socially optimal level of care, she will not have to compensate V for his damages. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game under a rule of no liability? Question…

Pisa Pizza, a seller of frozen pizza, is considering introducting a healthier version of its pizza that will be low in cholesterol and contain no trans fats. The firm expects that sales of new pizza will be $20 million per year. While many of these sales will be to new customers, Pisa Pizza estimaes that 40% will come from customers who switch to the new, healthier pizzai nstead of buying the original version. a) Assume cusotmer will spend the same amount on either version. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new pizza? b) Suppose that 50% of hte cusomters who will switch from Pisa Pizza's orignial pizza to its healthier pizza will switch to another brand if Pisa PIzza does not introduce a healthier pizza. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new pizza in this case?

Suppose now that instead of herders buying the UThere phones, herders in the region were randomly given either a new UThere phone or soap of equivalent value. The impact evaluation team then randomly surveyed 250 herders who receive the phone and 250 who received the soap. When you directly compare average income for these two groups, the difference gives you: Naïve ATE due to selection bias, since those who randomly got phones are different from those who got soap. True ATE due to the randomization which implies that those who got soap are otherwise comparable to those who got phones. different way of measuring selection bias due to the randomization, since getting soap might increase the average income but not as much as UThere phones. the same value of Naïve ATE that you might expect to get without a random distribution of phones and soap.
(c) Given the following statements: Statement 1: In order to go on vacation, you must be vaccinated and have a negative covid test.Statement 2: If you are not vaccinated and do not have a negative covid test, then you cannot go on vacaton.Using truth tables, show that the two statements are not logically equivalent.Change the second statement so that it is logically equivalent to the first.
The model initial setup is• The number of vacancies posted in the economy during a particular month is v = 100.• There were initially u = 225 unemployed workers at the beginning of the month.• Suppose that the average wage is 0.6 relative to their productivity. Unemployed workersreceive benefits that are half the wage, i.e., b = 0.3 relative to productivity.• Suppose that the number of matches between firms and workers are given by thefollowing matching functionsM = Au^0.5v^0.5• Suppose that 45 workers were able to find a job by the end of the month.Answer the following questions.a) What is the monthly job finding rate?b) What is the probability that an average vacancy is filled in a month?c) What is the job creation cost, k?d) What is the value of A?e) Explain how introducing a searching cost to this model would affect the queue length,the number of vacancy and unemployment rate, and wage.

A researcher studying the effects of a new fertilizer on crop yields plansto carry out an experiment in which different amounts of the fertilizerare applied to 100 different 1-acre parcels of land. There will be fourtreatment levels. Treatment level 1 is no fertilizer, treatment level 2 is50% of the manufacturer’s recommended amount of fertilizer, treatmentlevel 3 is 100%, and treatment level 4 is 150%. The researcher plans toapply treatment level 1 to the first 25 parcels of land, treatment level 2to the second 25 parcels, and so forth. Can you suggest a better way toassign treatment levels? Why is your proposal better than the researcher’smethod?
Q. 1 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 cach 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? a. The survey certainly overstated how much the concert was worth to each resident. b. From the standpoint of total costs and benefits, the cost of the concert certainly exceceded the benefit. c. The concert was an example of the Tragedy of the Commons. d. Residents of the town were probably free riders.
