3. Stevie Stone, a bellhop at the Royal Sundown Hotel in Atlanta, has been offered a management position. Although accepting the offer would assure him a job if there were a recession, if good economic conditions prevailed, he would actually make less money as a manager than as a bellhop (because of the large tips he gets as a bellhop). His salary during the next 5 years for each job, given each future economic condition, is shown in the following payoff table: Economic Conditions Decision Good Recession Bellhop Manager $120,000 $60,000 85,000 85,000 Select the best decision, using the following decision criteria. a. Minimax regret b. Hurwicz ( a = 0.4) c. Equal likelihood

Consider the lottery that assigns a probability T of obtaining a level of consumption CH and a probability 1-T of obtaining a low level of consumption c, with CH > C1. Consider an individual facing such a lottery with utility function u(c) that has the properties that more is better (that is, a strictly positive marginal utility of consumption at all levels of c) and diminishing marginal utility of consumption, u"(c) < 0. As usual, we are using the shorthand u'(c) consumption and u"(c) = " = dư ( to be the second derivative of the utility function (which is also the derivative of the first derivative of the utility function). du(c) for the first derivative of the utility function with respect to dc du(c) dc2 du' (c) dc
