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_forwardUsing the Topic Material "Game Theory," discuss your perspective on the use of game theory.

- Question on game theoryarrow_forwardThree married couples in the state of Maryland—Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice, and Ross and Mike (remember, same-sex marriage is legal in the state of Maryland)—are thinking about renting a boat to go sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. The cost of a boat rental is $600. Each of the three couples puts some amount of money in an envelope. Thus, each player in this game is a couple. If the total amount collected is at least $600, then the boat is rented. If the amount collected is more than $600, then the money left over after renting the boat is spent on wine. If the total amount collected is less than $600, then they do not rent the boat, and the money is spent on a dinner. Assume the benefit to a couple from the boat trip is 400, the benefit from each dollar spent on wine is 50 cents, the benefit from each dollar spent on dinner is 40 cents, and the personal cost of the contribution to a couple equals the amount of contribution. For example, if the boat is rented, $50 of wine is purchased…arrow_forwardJ 7 According to the chapter in The Handbook on the Economics of Sport, what difference would it make if teams are profit maximizers or win maximizers?arrow_forward
