- Suppose a company is hiring graduates from Harvard and Yale and they want to hire people with very high predicted productivity. All they use to predict productivity is where they went to school and their GPA. There is no difference in average true ability between students at Harvard and Yale. However, while Yale GPAs are excellent predictors of performance at this company, Harvard GPAs are not. The company hires very few graduates and the cutoff for expected productivity is well above average. What will be true about the GPA cutoffs for the two schools? A. The cutoff for Harvard will be higher.B. The cutoff for Yale will be higher.C. The cutoffs will be the same.D.

- Please answer both parts I do not understand, thank you :) Part A. Suppose that the rats on the campus of Hypothetical U are found to be carriers of a plague. Eradicating the rats has an estimated cost of $1,000,000 and is expected to reduce the probability a given student dies of the plague from 1/2,000 to zero. Suppose that there are 30,000 students on campus. Suppose further that the administration refuses to eradicate the rats due to the cost. From this information, we can estimate that the administration’s willingness to pay to save a student statistical life is less than $1,000,000 $33,333.3 $100,000 $66,666.7 Part B: Suppose a company offers a standard insurance contract with a premium (r) of $1,000 and a payout (q) of $8,000.

- HOTELLING MODEL Consider a market in which today’s crude oil price is $100/bbl, and the marginal cost of extracting another barrel of oil is $50. The interest rate is 10% per year. Assume that the market iscompetitive.a. What is the best prediction for the oil price 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years from now, based on the Hotelling model? Calculate the oil prices at the end of years 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The market suddenly learns that the marginal cost of extraction in years 2 and 3 will be only $40, after which the marginal cost is expected to fall to $20 for years 4 and 5.b. What is your prediction for future oil prices based on this new information? Calculate the oil prices at the end of years 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
