2. List three economics reasons to form a family Three economic reasons to form a family are: a) Economies of Scale: Families can benefit from shared living costs, such as housing, utilities, and groceries. Economies of scale can lead to cost savings compared to individuals living separately. b) Risk Pooling: Families provide a social and economic safety net. Shared financial resources and mutual support can help mitigate individual economic risks, such as unemployment or unexpected expenses. c) Intergenerational Support: Families often serve as a support system across generations. Economic support from parents or older family members can assist younger members in areas like education, housing, or starting a business. 3. Consider the reasons to form a family. a) How does the current housing crisis affect family formation for your generation? (one paragraph) b) Which of the reasons to form a family do you think is most important and why? (one paragraph or two) Consider the reasons to form a family: a) Impact of the Housing Crisis: The current housing crisis can significantly affect family formation for my generation. Escalating housing costs may deter young individuals or couples from starting families due to financial constraints. The challenge of acquiring affordable housing can delay family formation or influence decisions on family size. b) Most Important Reason for Family Formation: Among the reasons to form a family, I believe that economies of scale is crucial. Shared living costs can alleviate financial pressures, providing a more stable economic foundation for the family. Especially in the face of economic challenges such as the housing crisis, the ability to pool resources within a family becomes essential for financial security and overall well-being. 4. Consider the following matching game a) Does anyone stay unmatched?

Yes. Who will be alone? Joe b) List the stable matches: The stable match is (Vee, Casey). c) For one match, state the minimum and maximum payoffs for each member of the match: Name: Vee, Minimum: 26, Maximum: 5 Name: Casey, Minimum: 30, Maximum: 9 5. Create a matching game with three people on each axis. (make up some numbers). Solve it. If the game has an indeterminate answer -you can’t be sure who matches with whom, explain why X Y Z Row person alone A 15 17 20 4 B 12 20 16 5 C 8 25 20 8 Column person alone 6 8 10 Stable Matches: (C,X), (A,Z), (B,Y) Maximum payoff for (C,X) match Name: C, Minimum:2, Maximum: 8 Name: X, Minimum:0 , Maximum: 6

6. Adshade’s marriage vows list a number of trade-offs. a. Define the term "trade-off": According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a "trade-off" is defined as "a balance achieved between two desirable but incompatible features; a compromise." b. Updating Marriage Vows: Let's consider the groom's vows. One potential trade-off that could be addressed is the balance between "personal freedom" and "shared responsibilities." In many marriages, individuals may feel a tension between maintaining individual autonomy and embracing collective responsibilities. To address this trade-off, the vow could be updated to emphasize finding harmony between personal pursuits and joint commitments, fostering a balance that ensures both partners feel fulfilled and supported in their individual and shared aspirations. The revised vow might express a commitment to ongoing communication and negotiation to maintain this equilibrium. 7. When we look at data, we often find patterns changing over time. Fact: Imagine you were examining data on women’s education levels, which have been rising over time. True/false/uncertain – Explain: Given this information we would expect the number in a) to be greater than the number in b). a) The percent of women with university degrees, or b) The percent of women aged 25 to 34 years with university degrees. True. Given that women's education levels have been rising over time, we would expect the number in (a) - the percent of women with university degrees (which encompasses all age groups) - to be greater than the number in (b) - the percent of women aged 25 to 34 years with university degrees. The overall increase in women's education levels over time suggests that a broader demographic, including older age groups, would have a higher percentage with university degrees compared to the specific age group of 25 to 34 years.
