Economics Explain in detail how you would extend the Cox- Ross{Rubinstein binomial tree model for pricing options if instead of considering two states of nature in each period you consider three states of nature (e.g. a good state, a middle state and a bad state). Focus on a tree with two periods (periods 0, 1 and 2) and draw the corresponging trinomial tree.

Trigleater is a hungry individual in the Grossman model deciding what to have for dinner is looking at variable options. Trigleater has a special condition called "Eaterblood" where whatever she eats will affect her health almost immediately. The following table reflects the options she is considering and the effect on health Meal Home Good Z Health H Steak and eggs +9 -4 Kale salad and broccoli -5 +18 Double cheeseburger deluxe with coke 12 -18 If Trigleater's single period utility function is given by U=5Z+2H and she can only select one item from the table above.

Aa Aa Complete the following table by identifying which assumption each given scenario references. (Note: The scenario might be an example or a violation of the assumption.) Assumption Scenario Complete Tastes Transitive Tastes Monotonicity Convexity Continuity Your brother would prefer to have two computers and a video game console, as opposed to one computer and a video game console, because he loves technology. Julia is indifferent between having only two scoops of ice cream or having only four cookies for dessert, but she would prefer to have one scoop of ice cream and two cookies because she likes variety in her diet. Tim likes only two sugars in his coffee. If he accidentally spills a few drops of sugar from one pack, he becomes extremely unhappy.
10) If prices and income in a two-good model double, what will happen to the budget line? A) The intercepts of the budget line will increase. B) The intercepts of the budget line will decrease. C) The slope of the budget line may either increase or decrease. D) There will be no effect on the budget line. E) Insufficient information is given to determine what effect the change will have on the budget line.
Suppose that you have data at the individual level that includes information on the price of a doctor visit an individual and the number of doctor visits they go to in a given year. For simplicity, let's say that those with more generous plans pay less for a doctor's visit, while those with less generous plans pay more for a visit. You graph the relationship between the price individual pays for doctor visits against the number of visits, and you see a downward sloping line; let's call this "measured demand." The problem of "endogeneity" discussed this week could arise here if individuals who know they go to the doctor frequently buy more generous coverage while those who know they rarely go to the doctor purchase less generous coverage. This would imply that the "true" demand curve (if we were to account for endogeneity) is_________ the same as. less inelastic than the measured demand curve. more inelastic than the measured demand curve.
Identify a personal economic decision that was driven by a behavioral bias rather than by pure rational behavior. Given your understanding of behavioral economics, how would your decision differ today? Please provide a detailed discussion. I will not give a positive rating for vague responses.
Vilfredo has complete and transitive preferences on cars. We know that he prefers a Hyundai Sonata to a Mazda 3, and that he finds a Mazda 3 at least as good as a Honda Civic. Can we conclude that he prefers a Hyundai Sonata to a Honda Civic? Yes No
Laffer curve In the 1980s, president Reagan based his tax and spending policies on supply side eonomics. The idea behind supply side economics is the marginal tax rate is so high it discourages work. Cutting the tax rate would end up increasing tax revenue. We develop a simple model of this idea to determine the restrictions on the utility function required to generate a Laffer curve. Let T denote the tax rate, w is the real wage rate and n the labor supply. The tax revenue is T=wnT where wn is labor income, which is the tax base. For convinience assume w is constant. There is no reason for this assumption to be true, but we impose it to focus on the restrictions on the utility function to generate the Laffer curve. As the tax rate T increases, workers substitute towards leisure and away from consumption. Hence as T rises, wn falls and tax revenues falls for high enough tax rates. Let U,V satisfy the standard assumptions. The model is static and households are endowed with one unit of…
The COVID pandemic has changed where many people are able to do their work at the city or metro-area level. Which of the following best describes the predictions from a Rosen-Roback style model on how separating work (in the model, wage) from location of residence might impact house prices across different areas. O This should put upward pressure on house prices (and population) in traditionally high-wage areas, and downward pressure on house prices (and population) in traditionally high amenity areas. O This should put downward pressure on house prices (and population) in traditionally high-wage areas, and upward pressure on house prices (and population) in traditionally high amenity areas. O This should put upward pressure on house prices across all areas, regardless of the initial factors associated with that area. O This should put downward pressure on house prices across all areas, regardless of the initial factors associated with that area.

Suppose Bill is on a low-carbohydrate diet. He can eat only three foods: Rice Krispies, cottage cheese, and popcorn. The marginal utilities for each food are tabulated below. Bill is allowed only 167 grams of carbohydrates daily. Rice Krispies, cottage cheese, and popcorn provide 25, 6, and 10 grams of carbohydrates per cup, respectively. Referring to the accompanying table, respond to the following questions: Please check the image provided for the table.
The Grossman model envisions consumers deciding between investments in health H and investments in home goods Z. Figure below depicts a typical consumer’s production possibility frontier for health and home goods.a. Succinctly describe why the graph is shaped the way it is between points A and B.b. Succinctly describe why the graph is shaped the way it is between points B and C.c. Would any consumer with typical preferences ever pick a point on the graph between A and B? Explain succinctly why or why not.
