Alec and Ellie are the only detectives in the town of Broadchurch. Assume efficient production. Each has 10 hours in a day to allocate between conducting interviews and completing paperwork. They work independently and have to decide whether they will trade paperwork files for interviews. Alec takes 22 hours to complete one interview or 15 hours to complete one file of paperwork. Ellie takes 24 hours to complete one interview or 15 hours to complete one file of paperwork. Consider the price of 1 file of paperwork in terms of interviews. What is the HIGHEST price at which a trade between Alec and Ellie takes place? Enter a number only.

The magazine Science 84 planned to announce a contest in which anyonecould submit a request for either $20 or $100. If fewer than 20% of the submissions requested $100, then everybody would receive what they requested. If 20% or more asked for $100, then everybody would get nothing. Although the magazine wound up not running the contest, because Lloyds of London was unwilling to insure against losses, we can still analyze what equilibrium would predict. Suppose 100,000 people might participate in the contest, and assume that payoffs are measured in money.a. Assume that every possible participant submits a request for either $20or $100. Find a Nash equilibrium.b. Now suppose that a request form comes only with the purchase of Science 84 and that the magazine costs $21.95. Then each person’s strategy set has three elements: do not buy the magazine, buy the magazine and submit a request for $20, and buy the magazine andsubmit a request for $100. Suppose zero value is attached to…
Critics argue that unions are merely a type of cartel. When unions raise wages above the level that world prevail in competitive markets, they reduce the quantity of labour demanded, cause some workers to be unemployed, and reduce the wages in the rest of the economy. The resulting allocation of labour is both inefficient and inequitable. Outline the main arguments that favour the existence of union in an economy.

Answer all questions, show all working. Marta and Sara are two students that devote part of their free time to doing surveys for a market research company. The income obtained from this activity depends on the number of surveys they do, bearing in mind that the girls may freely choose the interviewees. As they both live in the same neighborhood in case, they just interview their neighbors (N), they compete for the same people and their monthly income is about 250 Euros. If they both choose to go to other neighborhoods of the city and interview strangers (S), they can carry out more surveys and both their incomes would be 400. If one of them decides to go and interview people in another neighborhood but the other one does not, the former will obtain income for 500, and the latter for 300, and vice versa. After receiving the order from the company, Marta is always the one who starts to work first. Sara has information about the places where Marta has done the surveys. Please:…
