Subject: Economics 1. Suppose you have two independent unbiased estimators of the same parameter, θ, say θandθ, with different variances, v ∧ 1 ∧ 2 1 and v2. What linear combination, = cθ∧ 1θ∧ 1+ c2θ∧ 2 is the minimum variance unbiased estimator of θ?
Suppose that the distribution of Uber rides around the quoted arrival time is normally distributed. Themean waiting time (relative to the quoted time) is 0, with a standard deviation of 3 minutes.a. Using the empirical rule, what percentage of rides arrive within 3 minutes of the mean (3 minutesbefore to 3 minutes after)?b. Graphically depict the area that would need to be calculated to determine the probability ofwaiting more than 4 minutes for a ride. Explain your graph.

Suppose the market for auto insurance is made of up two types of buyers: high-risk and low-risk. Buyers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for auto insurance plans, and sellers’ willingness to accept (WTA) when selling plans to each type of buyer, are outlined in a photo Assume now that there is asymmetric information and that insurance companies do not knowhow risky an individual buyer is. In the face of this uncertainty, they determine that the probability that a “walk-in” is high-risk is 0.75. What is the minimum price sellers are willing to accept when selling aninsurance plan? At this price, will low- and high-risk buyers both be willing to purchase this insurance plan? Explain. Be sure the mention adverse selection in your answer. Returning to the conditions outlined in Q1, suppose that buyers of auto insurance (high- and low-risk) were offered a $1,000 subsidy to purchase coverage. This would raise their WTP by $1,000. Would the market for both insurance plans clear after the…
