Topic B Problem: Imagine you have two competing athletes who have the option to use an illegal and/or dangerous drug to enhance their performance (i.e., dope). If neither athlete dopes, then neither gains an advantage. If only one dopes, then that athlete gains a massive advantage over their competitor, reduced by the medical and legal risks of doping. However, if both athletes dope, the advantages cancel out, and only the risks remain, putting them both in a worse position than if neither had been doping.
What class concept best describes this situation? Using this class concept, what outcome do we expect from these two athletes? Are there any factors that could change the outcome predicted by this course concept?

Present an example of a prisoner's dilemma in
your own life. Describe the “cooperative" action for
each player that involves trusting the other in
some sense. Explain why mutual cooperation will
lead to an outcome that is preferred to mutual
defection. Describe why there is an incentive for
each to defect, or not cooperate, or not be
trustworthy. Discuss what might be done to
promote mutual cooperation, or what is done.
Prisoner's dilemma refers to

b.
how cooperation can be difficult to maintain, even when all players would win.
c.
how consumers can maximize their surplus

The team estimates that its profit in the three cities, excluding the cost of building a stadium, will be: city A $195 million city B = $200 million city C $210 million The cost of the stadium in any city will be $100 million, but the team expects the winning city to subsidize at least some of this cost.

- The owner of the Jets is going to offer a contract to a free agent player, Hapoleon. If signed, Hapoleon can give the Jets high effort or low effort. High effort costs Hapoleon $2 million and low effort costs Hapoleon nothing. The Jets’ owner cannot observe Hapoleon’s effort directly. Hapoleon has a guaranteed offer of $10 million from another team, the Sharks. If Hapoleon signs with the Jets, the team can be profitable or not and the Jets’ owner can observe that. If Hapoleon gives high effort, then the probability the Jets are profitable is 80 percent, but if Hapoleon gives low effort, then the probability the Jets are profitable is 40 percent. Hapoleon is the typical risk neutral player and his utility is given by u w() = w . Calculate the optimal wage levels, wH and wL , that the Jets’ owner should offer Hapoleon to get him to sign with the Jets and give high effort if Hapoleon’s disutility from high effort increases to $3 million.

- Why would club goods not have a free rider problem?arrow_forwardEconomics Suppose that Russell Wilson is negotiating a contract with the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson has an offer from the Las Vegas Raiders for $30 million a year. If he signs with the Seahawks, they will earn $60 million in revenue from the signing. The Seahawks next best option is to sign Josh Allen. They would earn $45 million from signing Allen and would pay him a contract of $25 million. Russell Wilson and the Seahawks have equal bargaining power in the sense that they will split the surplus evenly. a) What is the negotiated salary between Wilson and the Seahawks under Nash Bargaining? What is Wilson's surplus and what is Seahawks surplus? b) Suppose that the Seahawks know about an injury to Josh Allen, such that they would only earn $30 million in revenue from signing Allen but would only have to pay him a contract of $20 million. What is the new negotiated salary between Wilson and the Seahawks under Nash Bargaining? What is Wilson's surplus and what is Seahawks surplus?arrow_forwardIt's the Superbowl.
