Suppose that you have data at the individual level that includes information on the price of a doctor visit anindividual and the number of doctor visits they go to in a given year. For simplicity, let's say that those with moregenerous plans pay less for a doctor's visit, while those with less generous plans pay more for a visit. You graph therelationship between the price individual pays for doctor visits against the number of visits, and you see a downwardsloping line; let's call this "measured demand."The problem of "endogeneity" discussed this week could arise here if individuals who know they go to the doctorfrequently buy more generous coverage while those who know they rarely go to the doctor purchase less generouscoverage.

Graph drawing and explaination:Using the concepts of Community Indifference Curves and Community Budget Lines to represent various income groups (low, mid,high income) in Singapore, discuss the relationshipsbetween new public housing (HDB BTO flats), resale public housing (resaleHDB flats) and private housing (condominiums/landed property). Assuming high income earner prefer/can afford private housing, and low income earner tend to buy HDB BTO follow up resale HDB flat.Also explain how are new private and public HDB BTO property prices related to resale property prices?

Simone likes peanut butter and jelly (PB&J) sandwiches. When Simone makes a PB&J sandwich she always uses 4 tablespoons of peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of jelly. Suppose that the price of peanut butter is $0.05 per tablespoon and that the price of jelly is $0.15 per tablespoon. Simone lives above a bakery and receives free day old bread from her baker friend. The amount of Simone's income spent on PB&J sandwiches is $8 a week. Which of the following statements is true? A. Simone's indifference curves for peanut butter and jelly are normal indifference curves. B. Simone's indifference curves for peanut butter and jelly are straight lines, since she always eats peanut butter and jelly in a particular combination. C. Simone's indifference curves for peanut butter and jelly each have a right angle, since peanut butter and jelly are perfect complements for Simone. D. Simone maximizes her utility from PB&J sandwiches by consuming 8 sandwiches a we O E. Answers (C) and (D) are both true.
In year 1, the price of health care is $1, while the price of other goods is $2. At these prices, you demand 30 units of health care and 35 units of other goods. In year 2, your utility function and your income do not change, but prices do. Health care becomes more expensive at $1.50, while other goods become cheaper at $1.50. At these prices, you demand 20 units of health care. (a) Assuming you spend all your income in year 2, how many units of other goods do you buy? C = 70/1.5 (b) Use this budget constraint to calculate the Laspeyres price index; that is, the amount of money you need to buy the Year 1 bundle in Year 2, divided by the money you paid for it in Year 1.
Given: Budget constraint: 1600 = 160*HI + 20*GUtility function: U=HI*G where MRS = -G/HI Consider someone who has an optimal bundle of health insurance (Hi) of 5 and other goods (G) of 40 (Hi = 5, G = 40). Assume that this individual prefers to optimally purchase no health insurance (Hi). On a graph, draw the budget constraint offered above and include the indifference curve for a person who optimally chooses to be uninsured.
In class discussions about uncertainty we assumed that the utility levels in each state of nature depends on c, which we might interpret as some aggregate con- sumption and we expressed utility as U(c). Now, let's extend this to a case where the utility level depends on consumption of two goods (this was the type of utility we used mainly in this course). Ben is a farmer who grows wheat and barley. However, his harvest is uncertain. If weather is good, he gets 200 lbs of wheat and 200 lbs of barley. If weather is bad, he gets only 100 lbs of wheat and 100 lbs of barley. His utility in each state of nature is U(w, b) = w¹/4b³/4, where w and b represent his consumption of wheat and barley, respectively. Prices of wheat and barley are $1 in both state of nature. The probability of good weather is T. Question 3 Part a Express Ben's expected utility function. (Hint: find Ben's optimal consumption in each state of nature first) Question 3 Part b Let's assume = 0.5. Knowing that bad weather…
