3. Two stores are located side by side. They attract customers to each other and to themselves by advertising. The profit functions of the two stores are (45+ x₂)x₁-2 for store 1 and (90+ x₁)x2 - 2x for store 2, where x₁ and x2 are total advertising expenditures by stores 1 and 2, respectively. If each store sets its advertising expenditures independently (as in Nash equilibrium), how much would store 1 spend on advertising? Call this amount A₁. How much would store 1 spend on advertising if it and store 2 act as one firm that maximizes profit? Call this amount A₁M. 3.1 Calculate A₁-

Our model is good and probably explains a lot of variation. • B This is a bad sign for our model because a DGP of 0 means there is no relationship between the explanatory and outcome variable. • C This does not mean anything for our model.

Each term (3 months) the current group of economics students completed a questionnaire as to how much they would spend on new purchases compared to how much they would save/pay off bills, if they suddenly and unexpectedly received a check for $1,000. The average MPC is shown in the table below. Month in which student poll was taken Average of students’ responses as MPC March 0.41 June 0.30 September 0.22 December 0.56 What do these MPC’s imply about the students’ thinking over the course of the year? (Enter response here.) What is likely happening in the economy during the same period of time?

10.61 The per-store daily customer count (i.e., the mean number of customers in a store in one day) for a nationwide convenience store chain that operates nearly 10,000 stores has been steady, at 900, for some time. To increase the customer count, the chain is considering cutting prices for coffee beverages. The question to be determined is how much to cut prices to increase the daily customer count without reducing the gross margin on coffee sales too much. You decide to carry out an experiment in a sample of 24 stores where customer counts have been running almost exactly at the national average of 900. In 6 of the stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.59, in 6 stores the price of a small coffee will now be $0.69, in 6 stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.79, and in 6 stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.89. After four weeks of selling the coffee at the new price, the daily customer count in the stores was recorded and stored in . At the 0.05…

1. A Travel-Cost Method Now it is time for your first consulting job as an environmental economist. The Forest Service would like to know whether they should preserve some national forest land, previously slated to be logged, for hiking. You are helping do a travel-cost analysis to estimate the annual benefits of hiking in this area. Survey data has been gathered from 500 hikers who visited the forest last year. This forest did not charge an entrance fee. Using a statistical technique called regression analysis, you have controlled for differences in income, employment status, age, and other important factors that might affect the number of hiking trips taken. Taking these factors into account, you have developed the following relationship: Zone 1 2 3 Population in zone 1,000 3.000 2,000 Cost Per Hiking Trip Per Person 20 40 80 Hiking Trips Taken Per Zonal Person Per Year 8 6 2 where cost includes gas, tolls, fares, hotels, entry fees, and the value of time spent traveling. a.
