The mayor of Green City is considering whether to institute a Covid vaccine mandate for public employees. The fire chief opposes vaccination, and has threatened to resign if a mandate is instituted. The mayor believes that instituting a mandate is critical to getting Covid under control, and thus not instituting the mandate would costs the city -50 utility. However, the fire chief is critical to maintaining public safety. If the fire chief resigns, it would cost the city 75 utility. The fire chief believes a mandate would be an invasion of his personal freedom, costing him 20 utility. The mandate only impacts the fire chief if he does not resign. However, resigning his job as fire chief would cost him 40 utility. Draw this game. Identify how many subgames it contains. Then, solve the game to find all subgame perfect Nash equilibria.

Adam and Eve live on two sides of the Garden of Eden, a small suburban development. After they move in, an old dump containing the carcinogenic chemical polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) is discovered between their houses. If X total tons of PCBs are removed from the dump, Adam and Eve have a true WTP to finance a cleanup as follows: Adam’s WTP is higher than Eve’s. Does this necessarily imply that Eve is less concerned than Adam about exposure to PCBs? Why or why not? Draw one diagram illustrating the two individuals’ demand curves for cleanup and the total demand for cleanup in the neighborhood. What is the total WTP for 3 tons of cleanup? For 4 tons? If cleaning up 2 tons were to cost $12, is the WTP in this small community sufficient to finance it? What are the two potential reasons why a voluntary cleanup might nevertheless fail?
