Susan and Katy share an apartment, which they have decided to decorate for the holidays. The figure below shows Susan’s and Katy’s individual demand for strands of lights, measured metres. If Susan and Katy were to individually decide how many metres of lights to purchase, how much would be purchased if the price of lights were $16 per metre. SOLUTION IS NOT 20 METRES 5 metres 10 metres 15 metres 20 metres None of these.
In an article on how exercise improves health, the New York Times reported on an observational study that found that each hour spent running added two hours to a person's life expectancy [Brody. 20061 A week later, a letter to the editor questioned whether the results really proved anything about the impact of exercise on health, and suggested that the study could just as well be showing that "those with a strong heart and good health are otherwise more likely to enjoy running and do it more regularly." How does this challenge to the exercise study relate to the problems faced by economists trying to &slims the causal effects of economic policy? How could you design an experimental study to estimate the impact of running on life expectancy?

Suppose you are the manager of a program that administers food benefits to low- incomeprogram participants. The programs goal is to increase participants food intake throughallowing them to purchase more food than they would otherwise be able to afford theprogram pays 50% of their food purchase. An opinionated analyst thinks participants willsimply use the voucher to offset their grocery bill (i.e. the vouchers will be a pureincome effect) and will purchase the same amount of food as they would without thebenefit. Graphically and with words explaining the graph, using budget constraints andtypical indifference curves, show why for at least some participants, this is unlikely to bethe case. To make your case, assume participants have preferences for two goods (foodand a composite good made up of all other goods). Assume participants value both foodand all other goods and like a combination of both goods (preferences display convexity). Hint: first graph a typical budget constraint and…

You are the manager of an organization in America that distributes blood to hospitals in all 50states and the District of Columbia. A recent report indicates that nearly 50 americans contractHIV each year through blood transfusions. Although every pint of blood donated in the unitedstates undergoes a battery of nine different test, existing screening methods can detect only theantibodies produced by the bodyâ€™s immune system-not foreign agents in the blood, newlyinfected HIV donors can pass along the virus through blood that has passed existing screeningtests. Happily, researchers have developed a series of new tests aimed at detecting and removinginfections from donated blood before it is used in transfusions. The obvious benefit of these testsis reduced incidence of infection through blood transfusions. The report indicates that the currentprice of decontaminated blood is $60 per pint. However, if the new screening methods areadopted, the demand and supply for…
On July 1, 1965, the federal ad valorem taxes on many goods and services were eliminated. Comparing prices before and after this change, we can determine how much the price fell in response to the tax's elimination. Given an ad valorem tax of v, the tax collected on a good that sold for p was vp. If the price fell by vp when the tax was eliminated, consumers must have been bearing the full incidence of the tax. Consequently, consumers got the full benefit of removing the tax from those goods. The entire amount of the tax cut was passed on to consumers for all commodities and services that were studied for which the taxes were collected at the retail level (except admissions and club dues) and for most commodities for which excise taxes were imposed at the manufacturer level, including face powder, sterling silverware, wristwatches, and handbags (Brownlee and Perry, 1967). List the conditions (in terms of the elasticities or shapes of supply or demand curves) that are consistent with…
In Autarka 2 amusement parks, Alfonso's wonderland and Bernice's rides there are 9600 people who like to visit an amusement park. Each of theseconsumers wants to visit one park once. The consumers' homes are evenly spaced acrossthe island, and they each suffer a disutility of $24 for each kilometre they travel to reachan amusement park. With their current technology, it costs an amusement park $12 for each customer theyhost. At present, the equilibrium price for an amusement park ticket is $36, and each firmhas a profit of $115,200. This market is best modelled as Hotelling competition. Fixed costs should be neglected. Treat this market as a one-shot game. Do not consider repetition or associated phenomena such as collusion or predatory pricing. Find the profit function for Alfonso's Wonderland for the case in which their marginal cost is $6.
