- Understanding how shirking decreases team output Yvette sells bottled water from a small stand by the beach. On the last day of summer vacation, many people are on the beach, and Yvette realizes that she can make a lot more money this day if she hires someone to walk up and down the beach selling water. She finds a college student named Sean and makes him the following offer: They'll each sell water all day and split their earnings (revenue minus the cost of water) equally at the end of the day. Yvette knows that if they both work hard, Sean will earn $100 on the beach and Yvette will earn $200 at her stand, so they will each take home half of their total revenue: $100+$2002=$150$100+$2002=$150. If Sean shirks, he'll generate only $60 in earnings. Yvette does not know that Sean estimates his personal cost (or disutility) of working hard as opposed to shirking at $25. Once out of Yvette's sight, Sean faces a dilemma: work hard (put in full effort) or shirk (put in low effort).…arrow_forwardThe move of which professional team gave other teams much more bargaining power with their local cities in terms of the financing of sports stadiums?
