EXERCISE 177.1 (Firm-union bargaining) A firm's output is L(100 – L) when it uses L≤ 50 units of labor, and 2500 when it uses L> 50 units of labor. The price of output is 1. A union that represents workers presents a wage demand (a nonnegative number w), which the firm either accepts or rejects. If the firm accepts the demand, it chooses the number L of workers to employ (which you should take to be a continuous variable, not an integer); if it rejects the demand, no production takes place (L = 0). The firm's preferences are represented by its profit; the union's preferences are represented by the value of wL. a. Formulate this situation as an extensive game with perfect information. b. Find the subgame perfect equilibrium (equilibria?) of the game. c. Is there an outcome of the game that both parties prefer to any subgame perfect equilibrium outcome? d. Find a Nash equilibrium for which the outcome differs from any subgame perfect equilibrium outcome.

King Size Beds For some couples, the solution for too much pandemic togetherness is saying good night on Valentine’s Day in a bigger bed where they don’t need to touch. After nearly two years of working from home and sharing close quarters with spouses, kids and pets, people are tossing out their full- and queen-size beds in favor of more spacious kings. After nearly two years of working from home and sharing close quarters with spouses, kids and pets, people are tossing out their full- and queen-size beds in favor of more spacious kings. Robert Pagano and his girlfriend, Tracy Jones, weighed the pros and cons of switching to a king from a queen last year. The couple, who live in Las Vegas, had been getting on each other’s nerves when they were stuck working from home. “We hoped a bigger bed would help us avoid arguments,” Mr. Pagano said. “But we were…
