In a standard economic model, we generally assume the individual only cares about their own payoff. So, for example, utility of individual i is given by u = pi, where pi is the individual’s payoff. Suppose the individual is playing a dictator game with another partner j. How would you modify the utility function to explain the non-zero allocations to the partner that are typically observed?

- Assume that a proposer and a respondent are playing an ultimatum game where they split a pie of Rs. 100. What is the backward induction equilibrium of this game? In a laboratory experiment we see that offers from the proposer averaging Rs. 20 are routinely rejected by the respondent. Name one theory that has been used to offer an explanation for this observation. Using that theory what modifications of agent utility functions are needed for such outcomes as described above to be equilibrium?Suppose that 2 roommates, Andy and Bob, are trying to pick an apartment in Chicago. Locations can be chosen from set of alternatives A={ x: x exists [0,1]}. Andy and Bob both want to minimize their daily commute but they work at different locations: Andy at xA=0.3, while Bob at xB=0.6. Specifically, their utility functions are: ui(x)= -(x-xi)2. Question: What is the set of all Pareto Efficient outcomes in A, assuming no money can be exchanged.Is the pareto principle generally accepted as true or accurate? Or is it considered not true?
- You are considering going to a football game. However, the roads are cover in ice due to bad weather. Your ticket was a gift. You derive a value of z from attending the game, and a cost of D for driving on the icy roads. Your utility function is given by: ug(Z) + ui(D) = In(Z - 3) - In(2 - D). In your ultimate wisdom, you calculate that the cost of driving on the icy roads is 1 unit (So, D=1). What is the minimum value you must obtain from attending the game, so that you decide to go? Solution sent me fast ..Two officers are working in a police department. During a working day Officer One can either catch 20 criminals or she can write 60 reports. During a working day Officer Two can either catch 2 criminals of she can write 21 reports. The boss of the officers has the following utility function U=min(criminals; reports}. Officers want to make their boss as happy as possible. Find how many criminals will be optimally caught during the day.Suppose that you are the owner of a bakery. The customers who buy the cakes you bake have different tastes x for the chocolate content, with x ranging from 0 to 1. The total number of customers is N = 100 are equally distributed along the [0,1] line. If x is the customer's most preferred chocolate content (location of the customer), and the cakes have chocolate content z, then customer x bears a unit utility cost of $1. Suppose that all customers' reservation price for a slice of a cake is $3. The marginal cost of producing one slice of a cake of any chocolate content is equal to $1. Suppose that you would always like to serve all the customers. a. Your company offers just one type of cake, say regular, with z =1/2 What price will you set for a slice of a cake? b. Suppose that in addition to regular chocolate cake z=1/2 you are also considering offering the high-chocolate variety, that is zHC = 3/4. What price will you set for the slice of your new cake?

Suppose the two individuals have the following indirect utility functions: V1 (x, y) = ln M1 - a ln Px - (1-a) ln Py V2 (x, y) = ln M2 -b ln Px - (1-b) ln Py Where Mi is the income level of person i and Px and Py are the prices for goods x and goods y, respectively. a) Calculate the market clearing prices.Tom and Jerry are room mates. They spend a total of 80 hours a week together in their room. Tom likes loud music, even when he sleeps. His utility function is UT(CT, M) = CT + M, where CT is the number of cookies he eats per week and M is the number of hours of loud music per week that is played while he is in their room. Jerry hates all kinds of music. His utility function is M² 12 UJ = CJ Every week, Tom and Jerry each get 12 chocolate chip cookies sent from home. They have no other source of cookies. We can describe this situation with a box that looks like an Edgeworth box. The box has cookies on the horizontal axis and hours of music on the vertical axis. Let the bottom-left corner be the origin for Tom, and the bottom-right corner be the origin for Jerry. Suppose the dorm's policy is "rock-n-roll is good for the soul." Thus, M=80 in the initial endowment. Consider a trade between Tom and Jerry: Jerry gives Tom one cookie for reducing one hour of music. Then the change in Jerry's…
