Macmillan Learning You notice that the prices of coffee at your local supermarket vary from week to week, causing you to buy different brands, depending on which is cheaper that week. Your friend William, by contrast, is a hardcore Peet's fan and buys only Peet's, whether the price is $5.99 per pound or $12.99 per pound. By varying coffee prices, the supermarket sells both to you, who is relatively price particular about coffee, and to William, who is relatively price and and particular about coffee.

Aspen is in house arrest and is not allowed to buy stuff online. She wants a new iPhone and is willing to pay up to $5000 dollars for it. You and I both pay $1000 to buy an iPhone (Assume she only has the option to buy from one of us). Which one of the following statement is true about how much Aspen will pay for the iPhone? Competition between us will lead Aspen to pay 1200 dollars for the iPhone Competition between us will lead Aspen to pay $5000 dollars for the iPhone Aspen will pay exactly $1350 for the iPhone because her demand is inelastic Aspen will pay $5000 dollars for the iPhone, only if we can collude
Suppose that Lionel Messi is negotiating a contract with FC Barcelona. Messi has an offer from Real Madrid for $20 million a year. If he signs with FC Barcelona, they will earn $90 million in revenue from the signing. FC Barcelona's next best option is to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. They would earn $70 million from signing Ronaldo and would pay him a contract of $10 million. Messi's bargaining power is w = 1/2. a) What is the negotiated salary between Messi and FC Barcelona under Nash Bargaining? What is Messi's surplus and what is FČ Barcelona's surplus? b) Due to an injury, FC Barcelona would only earn $50 million from signing Ronaldo but everything else remains the same. What is the negotiated salary between Messi and FC Barcelona under Nash Bargaining? What is Messi's surplus and what is FC Barcelona's surplus?

P-TV and QRS-TV are planning their fall line-up. Suppose that sit-coms are more popular than reality shows, and so generate more advertising revenue than do reality shows, but they are more expensive to produce since real actors must be hired. In the following decision tree, QRS-TV announces its decision first and P-TV observes that choice before it decides whether to air a sit- com in the same time slot or a reality show. Both stations know all of the information shown in this diagram when they make their decisions. QRS-TV Sit-com Reality P-TV- P-TV Sit-com Reality Sit-com -QRS-TV eams -$5 million; P-TV earns -$5 million QRS-TV earns +$5 million; P-TV eams +$20 million Reality QRS-TV earns +$20 million, P-TV earns +$5 million QRS-TV earns +$10 million; P-TV cams +$10 million Given the information in this decision tree, this season programming in this time slot on QRS-TV and P-TV will be: Select one: O a. a sit-com on QRS-TV and a reality show on P-TV. O b. only sit-coms. O c. only…
Frank and Nancy met at a sorority sock hop. They agreed to meet for a date at a local bar the next week. Regrettably, they were so fraught with passion that they forgot to agree on which bar would be the site of their rendezvous. Luckily, the town has only two bars, Rizotti's and the Oasis. Having discussed their tastes in bars at the sock hop, both are aware that Frank prefers Rizotti's to the Oasis and Nancy prefer the Oasis to Rizotti's. In fact, the payoffs are as follows. If both go to the Oasis, Nancy's utility is 3 and Frank's utility is 2. If both go to Rizotti's, Frank's utility is 3 and Nancy's utility is 2. If they don't both go to the same bar, both have a utility of 0. There are two Nash equilibrium in pure strategies and a Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies where the probability that Frank and Nancy go to the same bar is 12/25. This game has two Nash equilibria in pure strategies and a Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies where each person has a probability of 1/2 of…
Economics Two players are bargaining over a three period bargaining model as discussed in class with player 1 making offers in rounds 1 and 3. Player 2 makes an offer in round 2 only. Each player has a common discount factor delta. The two players are bargaining to split $20. They have three time periods available to them for their bargaining game. At the end of round 3, if no agreement has been reached then player 1 receives $2 and player 2 receives $1 and the rest of the money is destroyed. Find the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium outcome in the finite horizon model in which the game ends after period 3.

Can you explain the "altruism and reciprocity" game theory, and provide an example? Is this the same as the "trust game?"
Evolutionary game theory provides a framework for understanding the emergence of preferences and behavior. Why are theoretical methodologies that employ the rational actor model an evolutionary stable strategy for economists?
Brian and Matt own the only two bicycle repair shops in town. Each must choose between a low price for repair work and a high price. The yearly economic profits from each strategy are indicated in Figure bellow. The upper right side of each rectangle shows Brian's profits; the lower left side shows Matt's profits. Matt's Actions Low Price High Price Low Price Brian's Actions $1,500 $1,500 $200 $3,000 High Price $5,000 $200 $4,000 $4,000 Which of the following statements is correct for a one-trial game? The market equilibrium price is the low price. A market equilibrium price cannot be established unless Brian and Matt collude. A market equilibrium price cannot be established unless Brian or Matt engages in tit-for-tat strategy. A market equilibrium price cannot be established without repeated trials. The market equilibrium price is the high price.
Within a voluntary contribution game, the Nash equilibrium level of contribution is zero, but in experiments, it is often possible to sustain positive levels of contribution for a long period. How might we best explain this? A) Participants are altruistic, and so value the payoff which other participants receive, benefiting (indirectly) from making a contribution. B) Participants believe that if they make a contribution, then other participants will be more likely to make a contribution. C) Participants in experiments believe that they have to make contributions in order to receive any payoff from their participation. D) Participants have experience of working in situations in which cooperation can be sustained for mutual benefit and so have internalised a social norm of cooperation
