In the context of the monocentric city model, which of the following statements best describes the demand-side reason that population density is higher near th central business district (CBD)? Note that the word "price" in the answers below refers to the price to rent a square foot of housing space. O Firms have an incentive to build less square footage of housing space per unit of land as price increases O Firms have an incentive to build more square footage of housing space per unit of land as price increases Consumers demand less square footage of housing as price increases O Consumers demand more square footage of housing as price increases

Which one of the following statements about the static linear city model in topic 4 is correct? ( the topic 4 is explained in the images in attachments) A. The firms produce a homogeneous good and make decisons on quantities. B. The firms definitely produce a homogeneous good and make decisions on prices. C. The firms produce horizontally differentiated goods and make decisions on quantities. D. The firms produce horizontally differentiated goods and make decisions on prices.
The COVID pandemic has changed where many people are able to do their work at the city or metro-area level. Which of the following best describes the predictions from a Rosen-Roback style model on how separating work (in the model, wage) from location of residence might impact house prices across different areas. O. This should put upward pressure on house prices (and population) in traditionally high-wage areas, and downward pressure on house prices (and population) in traditionally high amenity areas. O. This should put downward pressure on house prices (and population) in traditionally high-wage areas, and upward pressure on house prices (and population) in traditionally high amenity areas. O. This should put upward pressure on house prices across all areas, regardless of the initial factors associated with that area. O. This should put downward pressure on house prices across all areas, regardless of the initial factors associated with that area.
A key assumption of the Tiebout model is that? a.Wealth is distributed inequitably. b.Individuals face high costs to relocate to a new community. c.Residents do not have information about the public goods provided at different communities. d.Individuals can move freely between a large number of communities.
Consider the following Stackelberg model. There are two firms in the market. Firm 1 is the leader and firm 2 is the follower. Firms can decide to produce low or high. The extensive-form representation below presents the profits depending on production decisions of firms. The first value is profit of firm 1 and second value is profit of firm 2 depending on their production decisions. Solve using backward-induction. What are the optimal production levels of both firms? Describe how you found the optimal strategy using words.see the image
QUESTION 5 Which one of the following statements about strategic investments is incorrect? A. Locational choice (as in the linear city model) B. R&D investment to reduce marginal cost of production can be an example of strategic investments. C. Capacity choice (as in the Stackleberg-Spence-Dixit model) can be an example of strategic investments. D. Price choice (as in the linear city model) is an example of strategic investments.
If you suspect the presence of multicollinearity, how would you characterize the degree of multicollinearity that is likely to occur in your model? ( choose from light, moderate or severe multicollinearity)
One of the important concepts for understanding cities is “path dependency.” Which of the following best represents the concept of path dependency? a. Highways have become necessary for the export and import of goods to cities. b. Many things that happen in the present are determined by things that happened in the past c. The location of a firm depends upon whether procurement costs or distribution costs are greater d. Commuters get used to traveling the same way to work
In Chapter 1 we examined two efficiency criteria: Pareto efficiency and Kaldor Hicks efficiency. Recall that Pareto allows projects to go forward only if losers are fully compensated, whereas Kaldor-Hicks allows them to proceed as long as aggregate benefits exceed costs, or if B > C (that is, compensation of losers is not required). According to Michelman’s (1967) criterion, projects can go forward if B C > min(S, D), where, recall, S are settlement costs and D are demoralization costs. Given this formula, explain why Michelman is more permissive than Pareto but less permissive than Kaldor Hicks.
You have been tasked with developing a research report based on an economy of your choice anywhere in the world. The economy you select should be a growing economy or an economy that has experienced growth at some stage in its development. Present the finding of your research under the following headings. DETERMINANTS OF DEMAND Identification and in-depth discussion of the determinants of demand that have led to an increase in market demand in one of the critical industries in your chosen economy. (Make reasonable assumptions where necessary). (250 - 300 words)
Statement 1 (S1): Complementarities increase the incentives for other agents to take similar actions. Statement 2 (S2): Complementarities occur when agents or sectors, their resources and capacities play respective assigned roles in a coordinated, well planned process of development. * True, True True, False False, True False, False S1: Multiple equilibria is a condition in which more than one equilibrium exists. S2: These equilibria sometimes may be ranked, in the sense that one is preferred over another, but the unaided market will not move the economy to the preferred outcome. * True, True True, False False, True False, False
Consider a two-city (A and B) regional economy where each city operates on the negatively sloped portion of its utility curve. In the initial equilibrium, the two cities are identical. Then air pollution (lead emissions) in city B decreases the brain power and productivity of workers in the city by 20 percent. Illustrate the effects of lead emissions on the regional equilibrium, indicating the direction of changes in city size (the number of workers) and regional utility.
Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answers. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes. If the question prompts you to “Calculate,” you must show how you arrived at your final answer. Zeetopia and Freshland are two small tropical islands that use the same amounts of resources to produce mangoes and coconuts as shown in the table below. (d) Assume the two islands experience constant opportunity costs in the production of the two products. Draw a correctly labeled graph illustrating Zeetopia’s and Freshland’s production possibilities, showing coconuts on the horizontal axis and mangoes on the vertical axis. Plot the numerical values from the table above on your graph. (e) On your graph in part (d), show a combination of coconuts and mangoes, labeled as point X that is unattainable for Freshland but feasible and inefficient for Zeetopia.
