Group of answer choices
Because buyers cannot determine the true quality of a product, they might tend to bid up the prices.
Because they might not be able to present all the information about a product, sellers might temporarily lower the price to make potential buyers think the product is of excellent quality.
Imperfect information might tend to cause prices to be perfectly elastic.
Buyers cannot distinguish which goods have a higher quality and might be less likely to pay higher prices for that good.

There are many buyers and sellers, who value each quality of the bike differently. The value that each agent assigns to each quality of the bike is given below. Quality High Medium Low Buyer’s value 100 (high), 65 (medium), 30 (low) Seller’s value 75 (high), 60(medium) , 45 (low) Now assume that the sellers can offer a reimbursement of 50 to the buyer, payable if the bicycle breaks down. Bikes of high quality never fail; those of low quality always fail; those of medium quality fail 50% of the time. (iii) Suppose that all owners of high and low quality bikes offer reimbursement but owners of low quality bikes do not. Moreover, assume this to be common knowledge. Show that this is an equilibrium if the price satisfies 85 < p < 95. That is, show that none of the sellers is willing to change their behaviour, given actions of others. Is the resulting outcome socially optimal?…arrow_forwardMost people do not steal because: the marginal utilities of stolen goods diminish as more of them are obtained. the marginal utilities of stolen goods are negative. their marginal costs, including guilt costs, are too high. stolen goods can be sold only at deep discounts.arrow_forward
