Suppose that every driver faces a 4% probability of an automoblle accident every year. An accident will, on average, cost each driver $9,000. Suppose there are two types of Individuals: those with $72,000.00 In the bank and those with $2,250.00 In the bank. Assume that Individuals with $2,250.00 In the bank declare bankruptcy If they get in an acident. In bankruptcy, creditors recelve only what Individuals have In the bank. Assume that both types of Individuals are only slightly risk averse. In this scenario, the actuarially fair price of full Insurance, In which all damages are pald by the Insurance company, Is Assume that the price of Insurance Is set at the actuarially fair price. At this price, drivers with $72,000.00 in the bank likely buy Insurance, and those with $2,250.00 In the bank likely v buy Insurance. (Hint: For each type of dnver, compare the price of Insurance to the expected cost without Insurance.) Suppose a state law has been passed forcing all individuals to purchase Insurance at the actuarlally falr price. True or False: The law will affect the behavlor of both types of drivers. O True O False

Suppose there exist n = 1000 firms that seek to gain access to a small niche market that is regulated. Suppose that one firm will obtain access and that will get that firm an additional R = $50,000 in profits. Each firm already receives $1 million in profits from other ventures. a. Suppose the probability of winning the rents is linear in investment, each firm has an equal chance of winning and they are all risk-neutral. How much will each firm invest in rent-seeking? Are the rents fully dissipated? b. Suppose instead that the probability of winning changes with the amount invested in rent-seeking, so that each firm’s odds of gaining access are π(n,I) = I1/2 /n. Is the probability of winning increasing or decreasing in investment? Are there diminishing returns to rent-seeking? c. How much will each firm invest in rent-seeking? Are the rents fully dissipated, less than fully dissipated, or more than fully dissipated?

Suppose that every driver faces a 2% probability of an automobile accident every year. An accident will, on average, cost each driver $14,000. Suppose there are two types of individuals: those with $112,000.00 in the bank and those with $3,500.00 in the bank. Assume that individuals with $3,500.00 in the bank declare bankruptcy if they get in an accident. In bankruptcy, creditors receive only what individuals have in the bank. Assume that both types of individuals are only slightly risk averse. In this scenario, the actuarially fair price of full insurance, in which all damages are paid by the insurance company, is . Assume that the price of insurance is set at the actuarially fair price. At this price, drivers with $112,000.00 in the bank likely buy insurance, and those with $3,500.00 in the bank likely buy insurance.
