Benny and Danny live next to each other in a student resident building on campus. Benny is a metal-head (likes loud heavy metal music) and Danny is a bookworm (likes a quiet environment to study). From rocking out to heavy metal, Benny gets a benefit of $100. When Benny’s music is playing Danny suffers a cost of $175. Suppose Benny is given the right to listen to his music. [9] According to the Coase Theorem, describe the transaction, if any, that will be made between Benny and Danny.
Suppose that 2 roommates, Andy and Bob, are trying to pick an apartment in Chicago. Locations can be chosen from set of alternatives A={ x: x exists [0,1]}. Andy and Bob both want to minimize their daily commute but they work at different locations: Andy at xA=0.3, while Bob at xB=0.6. Specifically, their utility functions are: ui(x)= -(x-xi)2. Question: What is the set of all Pareto Efficient outcomes in A, assuming no money can be exchanged.

Considering the given possible uses of candy, which of the four choices could be Pareto Efficient (assuming candy is a “good”)? Among the four choices, which policy would yield the highest value according to a “Rawlsian” welfare function? (assuming that sweet/candy is a “good”) Explain. CHOICE 1: Every student gets one candy. The remaining candies are thrown in the bin. CHOICE 2: One student gets all the candies CHOICE 3: Every student gets two candies except for one student, who gets no candy; the remaining go in the bin. CHOICE 4: All the candies go in the bin
Thelma owns a cat which wakes up her roommate Louise at 6am every morning. Thelma enjoys cat ownership, but Louise bears a cost of Thelma's ownership of the cat. Assuming that Louise has the legal right to sleep as long as she likes, which action is necessary? if Thelma's benefit exceeds Louise's cost, government intervention is necessary if Louise's cost exceeds Thelma 's benefit, Thelma will pay Louise to keep her cat Thelma will pay Louise to be able to keep the cat if her benefit exceeds Louise's cost if Louise has the legal right to sleep, she only has to pay Thelma when her cost is below Thelma's benefit
A local school administrator is concerned that flu outbreaks are putting children at risk, so she proposes that the state should subsidize flu shots in order to increase coverage rates. -Are the administrator’s concerns valid—are too few children getting flu shots—and will a subsidy help? -The school nurse suggests publishing a list of which kids did not get a flu shot, in the hope that public shaming will lead people to vaccinate their children. Is this strategy likely to work?
Catherine wins a non-transferable, non-refudnable ticket to attend Saturday's baseball game. Taylor plans to attend the same game, but she knows from experience she can purchase a $40 ticket the day of the game. On the day of the game, it is cold with off-and-on rain showers, weather that both Catherine and Taylor equally dislike, making the prospect of attending the game less attractive than before. If both Catherine and Taylor have the same tastes and rational: a. Is one of them more likely to attend the baseball game than the other? b. Instead of winning a ticket, assume that last week Catherine paid $40 for the non-trasnferable, non-refundable ticket to Saturday's game. Would this change whether or not one of them is more likely to attend the baseball game?
