Bob's farm harvests corns worth 102 thousand dollars (and nothing else). In each year, there is a 20% chance that a storm will attack and leaves him with only 24 thousand dollars worth of the corns. Bob's preferences over wealth are represented by U = In w. What is the maximum that Bob is willing to pay for full insurance (in unit of thousand dollars)? Please round your answer to the nearest integer.
Suppose your preferences can characterized by the simple utility function U = √C, where C is consumption. You enjoy rock climbing, where you have a 10% chance of get- ting injured and losing $50,000. Your income (and therefore consumption) in the uninjured state is $90,000. What is the most you are willing to pay for an insurance policy? What is the fee for a fair insurance?

In experiments in which participants voluntarily contribute to the provision of a public good, we often find a reduction in contributions in successive rounds of the experiment. We can explain this as Group of answer choices Evidence of participants reaching satiation and not wanting such high levels of the public good. Evidence of participants working out the Nash equilibrium outcome of the voluntary contribution game. Evidence of participants reducing cooperation to punish free riding. Evidence of participants learning how to play the game more effectively.
Answer asap please Suppose that a special interest group makes up 10% of the overall population. If a new proposal stands to generate $2 million in additional benefits to the group, the group will: Group of answer choices always support this proposal, since the costs are diffused over the entire population. never support this proposal if the costs are greater than $2 million. support this proposal only if the costs are less than $2 million. support this proposal only if the costs are less than $200,000.
Consider a market for low quality used cars where Qd = 10000 - 200p and Qs = 100p + 100 “Good” used cars are $50 more expensive to produce and 50 percent more valuable to consumers. Find market equilibria, and describe a signal that you might use to support self-separating equilibrium.

Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding the concept of "adverse selection"? Multiple Choice Adverse selection describes a situation where an individual's demand for insurance is positively correlated with the individual's risk of loss. Adverse selection occurs when someone increases their exposure to risk when insured. This can happen, for example, when a person takes more risks because someone else bears the cost of those risks. The relationship between smoking status and mortality provides a good illustration for adverse selection, especially in the case in which a life insurance company did not vary its premiums according to smoking status of its customers. To counter the effects of adverse selection, insurers may offer premiums that are proportional to a customer's risk.
Suppose a demand curve has the form x = 100 - 10p. If the market price is $5, how would a $200 deductible impact quantity demanded? A. The consumer will behave in the same manner as he would with no insurance and consume 50 services. B.The consumer will behave in the same manner as he would with no insurance and consume 0 services. C.The consumer will behave as if the market price is $0 and consume 50 services. D.The consumer will behave as if the market price is $0 and consume 100 services.
