6. The interaction of individual choices Immediately after an ice storm brought down power lines throughout the region, hardware stores were sold out of batteries and flashlights. However, within a couple of days, special deliveries brought in extra batteries and flashlights, and everyone who wanted to buy a flashlight or batteries was able to do so. Which of the following principles of economic interaction best describes this scenario? O Markets allocate goods effectively. O All costs are opportunity costs.

4 Jill and Jack both have two pails that can be used to carry water down from a hill. Each makes only one trip down the hill, and each pail of water can be sold for $5. Carrying the pails of water down requires considerable effort. Both Jill and Jack would be willing to pay $4 each to avoid carrying one pail down the hill, and an additional $4 to avoid carrying a second pail down the hill. nt a. If Jack and Jill each must decide whether to carry one or two pails of water down from the top of the hill, how many pails will each child choose to carry? pail(s) b. Jill and Jack's parents are worried that the two children don't cooperate enough with one another. Suppose they make Jill and Jack share equally their revenues from selling the water. Given that both are self-interested, construct the payoff matrix for the decisions Jill and Jack face regarding the number of pails of water each should carry. Instructions: In the payoff matrix below, enter the payoffs for each child for each…

2. Residents in a town are voting to decide where a new library will be built. The residents homes are on the same street and the "map" of the town is represented below. The letters represent the location of each house. The numbers represent distance in 100 meters (in other words, house 'a' is 100 meters from house 'b' and 1200 meters from house 'i'). Each house- hold would receive a utility of 12 if the library was built in front of that house; utility decreases by I unit as the distance to the library increases by 100 meters. Use the distance markers (the numbers) to indicate where the library should go according to the following aggregation methods: a b cde fg hi 012 34 5 67 8 9 10 11 12 (a) A simple majority vote? (b) A Rawlsian planner? (c) A standard utilitarian function?
1. In the Traveler’s Dilemma, each of two people chooses a number between 180and 300. Each is paid the lower of the two numbers, but the person who choosesthe higher number must pay an amount x to the person who chose the lowernumber. In one case, x = 5, while in the other case x = 180. What differencewould you expect between choices with the two values of x?a. Higher choices when x = 5.b. Higher choices when x = 180.c. Little or no difference.d. Impossible to predict.2. Consider these statements about communication in experiments.1. Chat communication is usually more effective than written simple signals (A,B, etc.).2. Friendly appeals to mutual interest and payoff dominance are effective.3.
