In his State of the Union address in 2003, President Bush supported the idea of changing from the use of internal combustion engines to fuel cells based on hydrogen as a way of reducing air pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases. Fuel cells are nonpolluting because they only emit water vapor. President Bush proposed having the government subsidize research and development of hydrogen fuel and fuel cell technology. The president did not propose raising taxes on gasoline as a way of encouraging the use of fuel cells and reducing greenhouse gases. Currently, hydrogen is more expensive than gasoline.
Would an increase in the tax on gasoline encourage the development of hydrogen-based fuel cell technology for automobiles?

- After Hurricane Maria, hundreds of nonprofit organizations streamed to Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands to provide disaster relief. Research has found that coordination between nonprofits during disasters is difficult to maintain—it’s easy for individual nonprofits to fundraise and pursue programming on their own while ignoring other organizations working on the same issues. Additionally, there are incentives to do projects that are cheap and have fast turnaround, since donors respond to the visibility of organizations providing disaster relief. Consider two nonprofit organizations working in Puerto Rico. Together, they could spend time coordinating their efforts and run a shelter for hurricane victims, providing each organization with 100 utils. Alternatively, they could individually distribute paper towels—a simple, low-cost, fast, and visible project—and receive 5 utils. This situation can be modeled with the following payoff matrix: Nonprofit 2 Run Shelter…arrow_forward(a) Briefly discuss the Galbraith hypothesis in microeconomics.arrow_forwardDetermine whether each topic in the following table would more likely be studied in microeconomics or macroeconomics.arrow_forward
