QUESTION 1: Illustrate and explain why a risk averse home buyer would purchase a subprime mortgage in the run-up to the Great Recession. A. Present a model or models from class appropriate for the question. B. Apply the model: explain how its parameters and solution apply to the situation. C. Show how the model and, if necessary, modifications along with behavioral assumptions, explains what is asked for in the question. D. Briefly relate the scenario to a real-life situation during the crisis - for 2008 use information in the government report on the crisis.

Consider this scenario; then, complete the blank in the following statement by selecting the best answer. This month, Cara's utility bill was $250$250 higher than expected, but she also receives a $250$250 rebate on her homeowner's insurance. Behavioral economics would predict that Elaine is likely to be [blank] than she was before either of these things happened.
In a DD model with 3 periods t=0,1,2. Each consumer is endowed with 1 potato at t=0, has probability 1/2 of becoming hungry at t=1 and probability 1/2 of becoming hungry at t=2. Consumer utility is given by u(c)=1-1/c. Storage technology generates a gross return of 1 from period 0 to 1, and return of 1 from period 1 to 2. Investment technology generates a return of 3 from period 0 to period 2. If an investment is liquidated early in period 1, its return is reduced to 0.5. Suppose all consumers in town pool their potatos together. Of the 100 potatos, they store 20 and invest 80. When t=1 comes, early types are fed with the stored potatoes. When t=2 comes, late types are fed with the invested potatos. The expected lifetime happiness of a consumer = (keep 3 digits after decimal points)

Are the following preferences consistent with von Neumann Morgenstern’s axioms to maximize expected utility? Explain. a. You would rather have a sure $200 to a gamble with p=0.7 chance of $200, p=0.1 chance of $50, p=0.2 chance of $300. b. You prefer the gamble of p=2/3 chance of $300 and p=1/3 chance of $50 than a sure $250 win.

Suppose analysts agree that the losses resulting from climate change will reach x dollars 100 years from now. Use the concept of present value to explain why estimates of what needs to be spent today to combat those losses may vary widely. Would you expect the variation to narrow or get wider if the relevant losses were 200, rather than 100, years into the future? Complete the following using a principle amount = $100. Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. Discount rate / years 2% 5% 20 yrs O the higher rate O the lower rate 50 yrs 100 yrs Is there greater volatility with a lower discount rate or higher discount rate?
QUESTION 42 Consider the risk-neutral case of the ‘law enforcement using fines’ model. What is the optimal fine for double parking in Econville, if the probability of detection is 0.25, and the harm associated with double parking is $100? A. $400 B. $200 C. $50 D. The optimal fine can be calculated based on the information provided, but it is not listed above E. This question cannot be answered unless we know the average offender's benefit from double parking

Behavioral economics recognizes that people use System 1 to make decisions more often than they use System 2. Which of the following is an impldecision-making process?A majority of decisions are not made according to the neoclassical assumption of rational behavior.Most decisions are made following a careful calculation of costs and benefits.Even though most decisions are irrational, the neoclassical model still accurately. predicts outcomes.System 1 is best at making optimal decisions.

Suppose all consumers in town pool their potatos together. Of the 100 potatos, they store 70 and invest 30. When t=1 comes, early types are fed with the stored potatoes. When t=2 comes, late types are fed with the invested potatos. The expected lifetime happiness of a consumer = (keep 3 digits after decimal points, eg, 0.456)
