9. Behavioral economics Indicate whether each of the following examples of behavior is consistent with the way the traditional economic framework suggests people should act, or if it is reserved for behavioral economists to examine. Example Some people would be willing to pay money to lower the incomes of others. Some people treat $60 they earn differently from $60 they win in a random drawing. Some people sacrifice disposable income to help their children pay for college. Some people would turn down a new, higher-paying job if it meant spending less time with their family. Consistent with the Predictions of Traditional Economic Models Reserved for Behavioral Economics

The following five individuals have different utility functions over food (good x) and clothing (good y): 1) u₁(x, y) = 3x²y 2) u₂(x, y) = 2√x + y 3) Uz(x, y) = x0.6y0.4 4) u₁(x, y) = x² + y² 1 5) us(x, y) = x + 3y For each of these people: a) Compute their marginal utilities of good x, MUx = Ju(x,y) MU, = ду du(x,y) ax b) Check whether the property of "more is better" is satisfied for both goods? Explain. [Hint: Check whether marginal utilities are positive assuming positive amounts of good x and good y] ƏMUX əx and marginal utility of good y, c) Does the marginal utility of good x diminish, remain constant, or increase as each of the individuals buys more x? Explain. [Hint: There are 2 ways to do it: 1) visually check what happens to the expression of MUx when x increases (does it decrease, keep constant or decrease?); or 2) take the partial derivative of this marginal utility with respect to x, that is ƏMUx .aMUX ƏMUX If 0, the marginal utility of x is increasing in x] d) Does the…

Solve all questions.......you will not solve all questions then I will give you down upvote....... Arturo loves chocolate mousse but he is concerned about eating too much sugar. He would like to indulge himself eating as many mousses as possible as long as he keeps daily sugar consumption under 100 grams. Consider the following two choice rules: • Rule 1: After eating N mousses, if he is offered an additional mousse, he would eat it if the mousse contains less than 25 grams of sugar. If instead he is offered a fixed number of daily mousses in advance, he would accept them only if the total sugar content does not exceed 100 grams, otherwise, he would choose not to eat any mousse. • Rule 2: Choose in advance a fixed number of mousses to eat each day that does not exceed 100 grams of sugar content in total. (a) If each mousse contains 21 grams of sugar, Which rules (if any) satisfy IIA? Justify your answer. (b) Can you find a utility function that is maximized by Rule 1? How about…
1. Suppose you are considering to make a decent holiday dinner. In this year, to be creative, you are thinking to put Copper River Salmon from Alaska (fillet) and fresh Atlantic Lobsters from Maine as entrée on the table. Use the information given, to finish the questions below. (1) The table following provides you total utility (U) and marginal (MU) from consuming Salmon and Lobster. Suppose your total utility of Salmon consumption (U1) is a function of the units (Q as pound or lbs.) of salmon consumed, as U1 =. =/400Q. Similarly, your total utility of Lobster (U2) has the form as units (Q as lbs.) of lobster consumed, which is U2 = /36Q + 40. Now fill the empty spots in the table using the information given.
