Consider a utility function given by U (c1,c2) = 4c1 +2c2 involving young and old consumption for a typical individual in an OLG setting. Assume stationary equilibrium along with the other assumptions of the model exactly same as the ones covered in the context of decentralized decision making set up in Chapter 1. 1. ii. *** 111. Draw the Indifference Curve associated with the utility function. What type of preferences are reflected in terms of marginal utility? Explain your answer. Given the budget set in an intertemporal decentralized decision-making setting discussed in Chapter 1, what are the possible equilibrium solutions one can obtain in this scenario? Show the possible solutions on your graph. If an individual values the marginal utility of consumption when young to be more worth more than the marginal utility of consumption when old, how would this impact the equilibrium obtained in part ii of the question?

Exercise 3.13 —*** Challenging Question ✶✶✶. Two women, Anna and Bess, claim to be the legal owners of a diamond ring that - each claims - has great sentimental value. Neither of them can produce evidence of ownership and nobody else is staking a claim on the ring. Judge Sabio wants the ring to go to the legal owner, but he does not know which of the two women is in fact the legal owner. He decides to proceed as follows. First he announces a fine of $F > 0 and then asks Anna and Bess to play the following game. Move 1: Anna moves first. Either she gives up her claim to the ring (in which case Bess gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or she asserts her claim, in which case the game proceeds to Move 2. Move 2: Bess either accepts Anna's claim (in which case Anna gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or challenges her claim. In the latter case, Bess must put in a bid, call it B, and Anna must pay the fine of $F to Sabio. The game goes on to Move 3. Move…
DNFP7 (a) The President of ALS Society of America asks you to determine whether the level of ALS research in the U.S. is close to where it should be. You decide to estimate the demand and supply curves for ALS research, which you are thinking of as a pure public good. You find that there are two types of people in the U.S., each with a very different demand for autism research: Mother Teresas: P=$50-2Q Scrooges: P=$10-Q You also estimate that the marginal cost of producing each ALS study is $20. a. Sketch the Demand Curves for Mother Teresas and for Scrooges? • Label the x and y Intercepts. Mother Teresas: P-$50 when Q-0 Q-25 when P-0 Scrooges: P-$10 when Q-0 Q-10 when P-0

16. A movie producer is bringing out a new movie, In order to map out his advertising, he wants to determine whether the movie will appeal most to a particular age group or whether it will appeal equally to all age groups. The producer takes a random sample from persons attending a pre-reviewing showing of the new movie and obtains the following result. Use x'-test to derive the conclusion, Age-groups Persons Under-20 20-39 40-59 60 and over Total Liked the movie 110 200 710 320 80 Disliked the movie 70 60 195 50 15 Indifferent 30 20 40 95 Total 400 100 200 300 1,000
6. Imagine that I wanted to test the proposition that people think older politicians are more trustworthy. I recruited an internet sample of 90 people. Each person was asked to read a short article about a hypothetical political candidate. Random assignment determined whether the subjects were told that candidate was 65 or whether they were told that candidate was 35. After reading the article, all subjects used a 10-point scale to rate the candidate on competence, trustworthiness, and likability. I take the mean values of trustworthiness in each group, perform a difference of means test, and find a test statistic of 1.04. Should I reject the null at the 99% confidence level? Why or why not? What does that mean?

Microfinance institutions ultimately measure their success by the impact they have on their clients, on clients’ families, and on the communities in which they live. Microfinance programmes have become an increasingly important component of strategies to reduce poverty or promote micro and small enterprise development.
