Q.4. In a recent speech, the governor of your state announced: "One of the blggest causes of juvenile delinquency in this state is the high rate of unemployment among 16 to 19 year olds. The low wages offered by employers in the state have given fewer teenagers the incentive to find summer employment. Instead of working all summer, the way we used to, today's teenagers slack off and cause trouble. To address this problem, I propose to raise the state's minimum wage by $1.50 per hour. This will give teens the proper Incentive to go out and find meaningful employment when they are not in school." Evaluate the governor's plan to reduce juvenile delinquency.

Assume you have your car broken down just before the weekend. You value your weekend trip as muchas v and if you have to stay home you get the zero utility. There are two dealerships in your town. Atthe beginning of the day they simultaneously choose a price for repair. Dealers know that when you cometo one of them and observe the price, you can always call to another dealer to make an inquiry about hisprice. The call is costless. The other dealer, however, can be occupied for this day. Assume, this happenswith probability which is a common knowledge (but the dealers do not know whether the other dealer isoccupied or not). Assume zero repair cost for the dealer and find a symmetric equilibrium of the game.
