Assume that there are two parties, I and V. I engages in an activity that tends to injure V. V and I both can take care to reduce the expected harm from accidents. Specifically, suppose that if I takes no care (i.e., spends $0 on accident precautions), expected injury to V is $25. If I spends $5 on accident precautions, however, the expected injury to V is reduced to $18. Further suppose that V has a choice between taking no care or spending $4 in care to avoid accidents. If V spends $4 in care, V’s expected harm falls by $2 regardless of the level of care that I takes. Assume that courts adopt the socially-optimal level of injurer care as the negligence standard. That is, if I takes less than the socially-optimal level of care, she will be found negligent and must pay for all damages to V. If I takes at least the socially optimal level of care, she will not have to compensate V for his damages.

Explain which of these highway options will be selected using a majority paired-choice vote. Will this option be the optimal size of the project from an economic perspective?

- There are N women that all share the same toilet every day in an office building. Each sits on the toilet to use it and must decide whether to put down toilet paper on top of the toilet or sit directly on it. The toilet is cleaned just once a day at a random time and no one knows when this is done. It takes time and effort to put down toilet paper so if she knew the toilet was clean (either because she is the first to use it after it was cleaned or if all previous users after it was last cleaned put down toilet paper) she would rather not put down toilet paper. However, if she believes the toilet is dirty she would rather put down toilet paper. a) Is this game best described as simultaneous or sequential move? b) How many equilibria are there in this game? c) Briefly provide a general description of the equilibria.

A potential entrant could enter and make a profit of $15,000 per period while also lowering the incumbent’s profit to $20,000 per period. The monopoly firm could seek to engage in predatory pricing, which would lead to both firms earning a loss of $5,000 per period. (a) Is there a Nash Equilibrium in this game? If so, what is it? (b) Discuss how this game might play out in the real world?arrow_forwardTwo players bargain over 1 unit of a divisible object. Bargaining starts with an offer of player 1, which player 2 either accepts or rejects. If player 2 rejects, then player 1 makes another offer; if player 2 rejects once more, then player 2 makes an offer. If player 1 rejects the offer of player 2, then once more it is the turn of player 1 where he makes two consecutive offers. As long as an agreement has not been reached this procedure continues. For example, suppose that agreement is reached at period 5, it follows that player 1 makes offers in period 1,2 then player 2 makes an o er in period 3, then player 1 makes offers in 4,5. Negotiations can continue indefinitely, agreement in period 't' with a division (x, 1- x) leads to payoffs ( , (1-x)).(The difference from Rubinstein's alternating offer bargaining is that player one makes two consecutive offers, whereas player 2 makes a single offer in her turn.) a.

- Cameron and Luke are playing a game called ”Race to 10”. Cameron goes first, and the players take turns choosing either 1 or 2. In each turn, they add the new number to a running total. The player who brings the total to exactly 10 wins the game. a) If both Cameron and Luke play optimally, who will win the game? Does the game have a first-mover advantage or a second-mover advantage? b) Suppose the game is modified to ”Race to 11” (i.e, the player who reaches 11 first wins). Who will win the game if both players play their optimal strategies? What if the game is ”Race to 12”? Does the result change? c) Consider the general version of the game called ”Race to n,” where n is a positive integer greater than 0. What are the conditions on n such that the game has a first mover advantage? What are the conditions on n such that the game has a second mover advantage?arrow_forward6.

The head of your economic development agency recently conducted a survey in which the 2000 residents said that a public concert in the centre of town would be worth $20 to cach of them. Since it costs only $5000 to hold the concert, you organized and held the concert, which everyone in town enjoyed. But when you asked for donations to pay for the concert, you only collected $30 in total. What do you know? a. The survey certainly overstated how much the concert was worth to each resident. b. From the standpoint of total costs and benefits, the cost of the concert certainly exceceded the benefit. c. The concert was an example of the Tragedy of the Commons. d. Residents of the town were probably free riders.arrow_forward
