Kayla and Kevin are friends who go together to a used textbook seller who has two copies ofthe biology book that they both need for their class this semester. The cost to the seller ofacquiring the books was $25 each and no other students will need this book. Kayla states thatshe is willing to pay $40 for the book, while Kevin says he is willing to pay $80. Which ofthe following describes the most likely conclusion to this scenario? Group of answer choices The seller will sell the books to both Kayla and Kevin for $40 each because if they tried tocharge Kevin a higher price, Kayla would engage in arbitrage. The seller will sell one book to Kayla for $40 and one book to Kevin for $80 because thismarket meets all three requirements for price discrimination. The seller will sell the books to both Kayla and Kevin for $80 each because Kevin's highervalue exceeds Kayla's willingness to pay. The seller will sell the books to both Kayla and Kevin for $25 each because that is howmuch the…
Jacob wants to rent out car from James. Jacob has a big passion for cars and enjoys speeding, so much that he often gets fined. Jacob receives £400 in utility from being able to speed on the road whereas James would like to avoid getting fined. If Jacob spreads don the road, it will cost James £700. Thus, James is considering charging Jacob a fine deposit of £700. a) Draw the extensive form of this principal-agent problem and use backward induction to solve for the Nash Equilibrium. b) Explain why this situation could be considered a principal-agent problem
Consider a game where each player picks a number from 0 to 60. The guess that is closest to half of the average of the chosen numbers wins a prize. If several people are equally close, then they share the prize. The game theory implies that (A) all players have dominant strategies to choose 0 (B) all players have dominant strategies to choose 30 (C) there is a Nash equilibrium where all players pick 0 (D) there is a Nash equilibrium where all players pick positive numbers Behavioral data in such games suggests that (A) most subjects choose 0; (B) most subjects choose 30;(C) common answers include 30, 15, 7.5, and 0; (D) most subjects use randomization.
While grading a final exam, an economics professordiscovers that two students have virtually identical answers.She is convinced the two cheated but cannot prove it. The professorspeaks with each student separately and offers the followingdeal: Sign a statement admitting to cheating. If both studentssign the statement, each will receive an “F” for the course. Ifonly one signs, he is allowed to withdraw from the course whilethe other student is expelled. If neither signs, both receive a “C”because the professor does not have sufficient evidence to provecheating.a. Draw the payoff matrix.b. Which outcome do you expect? Why?

It is the week before the Yule Ball Dance, and Victor and Ron are each contemplating whether to ask Hermione. As portrayed above, Victor moves first by deciding whether or not to approach Hermione. (Keep in mind that asking a girl to a dance is more frightening than a rogue bludger). If he gets up the gumption to invite her, then Hermione decides whether or not to accept the invitation and go with Victor. After Victor (and possibly Hermione) have acted, Ron decides whether to conquer his case of nerves (perhaps Harry can trick him by making him think he’s drunk Felix Felicis) and finally tell Hermione how he feels about her (and also invite her to the dance). However, note that his information set is such that he doesn’t know what has happened between Victor and Hermione. Ron doesn’t know whether Victor asked Hermione and, if Victor did, whether Hermione accepted. If Ron does invite Hermione and she is not going with Victor— either because Victor didn’t ask, or he did and she…
. OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, was founded in 1969. Their original objective was to form a cartel to increase the price that they receive for their oil exports. Create a prisoner’s dilemma type game for two large members of OPEC (e.g. Saudi Arabia and Indonesia). Create numbers, where payoffs are total annual oil export revenues for each of these two countries. Verbally explain how you got your numbers. Find the Nash equilibrium. Based on this model, what strategy is in the oil exporters’ best interest (Nash or otherwise)? How do they make it happen? Create another prisoner’s dilemmamodel for all of OPEC on one side, and all non OPEC oil exporting nations on the other side. Create numbers, where payoffs are total annual oil export revenues for each of the two sides. Verbally explain how you created your numbers. Also create your numbers applying the fact that OPEC’s total production capacity is greater than total non OPEC exports…
