The Economists Who Studied All-You-Can-Eat Buffets (The Atlantic, 27 Dec 2014)[1] Buffets are now big businesses, particularly in Las Vegas. The buffets in Vegas are no longer the dollar bargains they once were in the late 1950s. They're fancy productions with Kobe beef and king crab legs that can cost over $50. New research shows that paying that much for a buffet might actually make the food taste better. Three researchers did an all you can eat (AYCE) buffet field experiment to test whether the cost of an AYCE buffet affected how much diners enjoyed it. They conducted their research at an Italian AYCE buffet in New York, and over the course of two weeks 139 participants were either offered a flier for $8 buffet or a $4 buffet (both had the same food). Those who paid $8 rated the pizza 11 percent tastier than those who paid $4. Moreover, the latter group suffered from greater diminishing returns—each additional slice of pizza tasted worse than that of the $8 group.
For Question 2 there is a typo. It is supposed to say consider Ronald from question 1. Both question 1 and 2 are provided, i would appreciate if someone could complete them as soon as possible. Also this is not a graded question from an exam, it is homework l have been given although l did not purchase the textbook so cant get the solutions for it.
2. A faculty member sells Gatorade at UNC Charlotte football games. He finds that if he raises his selling price by $1, he sells 6 less bottles each week. He turns over the operation to a Managerial Economics student for a week. The goal is to maximize revenue since the faculty member has a vast supply of Gatorade, and any unsold bottles can be sold in future weeks. The student takes over the operation for a week. She says she sold at the revenue-maximizing price of $4 per bottle. How many units sold? Show your work/thought process:
Fill in blanks A-D in the following table.
[Related to Solved Problem 10.4 on page 330] In an article in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, Ted O’Donoghue and Matthew Rabin make the following observation: “People have self-control problems caused by a tendency to pursue immediate gratification in a way that their ‘longrun selves’ do not appreciate.” What do they mean by a person’s “long-run self ”? Give two examples of people pursuing immediate gratification that their long-run selves would not appreciate. Based on Ted O’Donoghue and Matthew Rabin, “Choice and Procrastination,” Quarterly Journal of Economics, February 2001, pp. 125–126.
