While randomized control trials are gold-standard, we don't use them in economics often to explore causal relationships. Why? Provide three reasons.
Use a two-state model with clearly marked labels to show the following statements:
a) People with different risk profiles (ie., risk-secking vs. risk-neutral vs. risk-averse) have different expected utility curves.
b) A risk-neutral person can be indifferent to a full insurance (compared to no insurance).
c) A risk-seeking person does not like the idea of diversification
d) For-sure outcomes with higher payoffs are preferred to for-sure outcomes with lower payoffs.
Why does the limitation of Portfolio analysis is Naively following the prescriptions of a portfolio model may actually reduce corporateprofits if they are used inappropriately?

The types of workers (θ) are uniformly drawn from the unit interval [0,1]. A θ-type worker can produce θ units of some product if he is hired by firms. (Workers are the only input in the production.) The price of the product is normalised as 1. Before entering the labor market, workers decide whether to secure some certificate at a cost c ∈ (0, 1) or not. The certificate can fully reveal a worker’s type and he then decides whether to show it to firms or not. If a θ-type worker decides to quit the labor market, he can earn θ/4 from self-employment. Find the competitive equilibrium. (Hint, if a θ-type worker obtains the certificate and shows it to firms, he will receive a wage of θ from the market. For sure, he can also decide to join the labor market without obtaining or showing the certificate.)arrow_forward

- Question 18 Job-specific human capital In this problem, based on a simplified version of the model in Bhattacharya and Sood (2006), we will explore how linking employment and health insurance provision can (partially) solve the adverse selection problem if the labor market is competitive. Suppose that there are two types of workers – sickly workers with probability ps of falling ill over the course of the next year, and robust workers with probability pr < ps of falling ill. Employers cannot observe whether a worker is sickly or robust, and because of US law they can only decide to offer health insurance to all of their workers, or none at all. We will assume that a just-hired employee is less productive than an employee who has more experience; let MPn be the marginal value product of new employees, and MPe > MPn be the marginal value product of experienced employees. In this simple model, marginal value product depends only on experience, not on whether a worker is sickly or…arrow_forwardWhat is the mostly commonly used utility functions for the following and why: Risk Aversion Risk Seeking Risk Neutralarrow_forwardIn terms of general elections.
