In this question, we examine a scenario which demonstrates the Coase theorem, a statement on bargaining and property rights when externalities occur - no knowledge of the theorem is required to answer the question. In the town of Quaintville, there live two neighbors, Ossian and Percy. Ossian enjoys playing loud music late during the night, between the hours of Midnight and 4am. Percy, on the other hand, highly values peace and quiet. Their utilities, in dollar terms, are given in the chart below: Hours of Music Hours of Silence Ossian's Utility Percy's Utility | MU of Music | MU of Silence X 0 4 1 3 2 3 2 1 0 4 7 9 10 10 9 7 4 0 (i) Fill in the columns giving the marginal utilities of Ossian's music and Percy's silence. That is, report Ossian's marginal utility value of one additional hour of music in dollar terms and Percy's marginal utility value of one additional hour of silence. As indicated above, the 0 rows do not have values.

Please help with question 14. Thank you.
Consider the following decision by two countries: a small country (C1) and a large country (C2). When both countries cooprate and agree to an environmental agreement, C1 receives 4 and C2 receives 5 units of benefit. When they do not cooperae, they incur costs of -1, and -2, respectively. The payoffs associated with other outcomes are described in the table below. Large country (C2) Agree to environmental protection (cooperate) Do not agree to environmental protection (do not cooperate) The Socially Optiomal outcome is The Nash Equilibrium is Agree to environmental protection (cooperate) C1:4 C2: 5 C1: 2 C2: 6 [Choose ] Small country (C1) [Choose ] Do not agree to environmental protection (do not cooperate) C1:2 C2: -3 C1: -1 C2: -2

Describe the Nash equilibrium/a and the mutually-preferred outcome. Finally, consider how people are sometimes able to resolve this social dilemma in the real world. Clearly explain how this method is successful in moving the players to a socially optimal outcome.
Assume D1 reflects private benefits from consumption and assume S1 reflects private costs of production. If we begin with demand curve D1 and supply curve S1 in the figure above and external costs are incorporated into this market, then Group of answer choices government should subsidize its production and shift supply from S1 to S2. the vertical distance between S1 and S2 equals external costs. price will increase from P1 to P4. underproduction equals Q3 minus Q1. price will rise from P1 to P3.
THE PRISONERS' DILEMMA Consider the following simple model of a cocktail party. Alice and Bob are carrying on separate conversations at the party. Alice speaks at volume a and Bob speaks at volume b. The communication benefit to Alice is al(a + b) and the benefit to Bob is b/(a + b). The vocal-strain cost to Alice is ca and the cost to Bob is cb, where c is a parameter. Suppose that the players have two choices: speaking softly at volume 1, or speaking loudly at volume 4. This leads to the following game in strategic form, with Alice choosing the row and Bob choosing the column. a = 1 a = 4 b = 1 0.5-c, 0.5-c 0.8-4c, 0.2-c 0.0400 0.0500 0.0750 0.0800 0.1500 b = 4 0.2 c, 0.8-4c - 0.54c, 0.5-4c For which of the following values of c is this game a prisoners' dilemma? (Mark all values for which this is true.)
Two individuals A and B have utility functions defined over two goods, a private good 'x') and a public good, 'F. The utility function of an agent 'i' is defined by ui = 2 log xi + log F where F =FA + FB. Each agent has 200 units of private goods x, as his endowment and 1 unit of private good can be transformed into 1 public good F. Answer the following (a) Find the Nash equilibrium values of FA and FB? (b) What is the Pareto optimal level of F? (c) In what condition the Pareto optimal level of F will not depend on the number of private goods? (d) What would be the consumption of x by each agent if they contribute equally towards the public good (F)? (e) Would it change if an agent had a larger endowment of x to begin with?
A pandemic is gaining strength in the United Republic. Health experts advise the citizens to behave in a way that reduces the risk of conta- gion. For simplicity, suppose that each citizen chooses between heeding the advice (playing the p strategy) or ignoring the advice (playing the s strategy). The restrictions involved in heeding the advice and playing p come at a private cost to the citizen; all citizens benefit from curtailing the pandemic, that is, from having many people playing p). To be specific, the payoffs are given by p(x) 1+ 2x s(x) 2+ 2x where a is the fraction of citizens that heed the advice and play p (0 < x< 1). (a) Draw a diagram illustrating the payoffs from playing p (heeding the health advice) and s (ignoring the advice) as functions of x. (b) Describe all of the possible equilibria in this 'pandemic game' and calculate the payoffs at the equilibrium (equilibria). Which of these equilibria is (are) most likely to obtain in this game? Explain your answer. (c)…
Kyoko and Rina are considering contributing toward the creation of a public park. Each can choose whether to contribute $300 to the public park or to keep that $300 for a weekend getaway. Since a public park is a public good, both Kyoko and Rina will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.90 of benefit. For example, if both Kyoko and Rina choose to contribute, then a total of $600 would be contributed to the public park. So, Kyoko and Rina would each receive $540 of benefit from the public park, and their combined benefit would be $1,080. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table. Since a weekend getaway is a private good, if Kyoko chooses to spend $300 on a weekend getaway, Kyoko would get $300 of benefit from the weekend getaway and Rina wouldn't receive any benefit from Kyoko's choice. If Kyoko still spends $300 on a weekend getaway and Rina chooses to contribute…
The proposition that problems of externalities will be resolved efficiently through private exchange is known as Property rights Pollution abatement Coase theorem Tort law
Which of the following statements is correct? Select one: a.In models of network goods with positive externalities, no consumption is always an equilibrium. b. The equilibrium in the hotelling model when both firms have the same location is for the firms to set their prices equal to their (constant) marginal cost even if their marginal costs are different. c. If all firms start wiht the same techonology, under both minor and drastic innovations the inovator firm is only one firm producing after the innovation. d. The Schumpeter hypothesis establishes that competitive firms have higher capacity to produce R&D than monopolies.
