The odds against Manager X settling the wage dispute with the workers are 8:6 and odds in favour of manager Y settling the same dispute are 14: 16. (i) What is the chance that neither settles the dispute, if they both try, independently of each other? (ii) What is the probability that the dispute will be settled?

Cheryl Druehl Retailers, Inc., must decide whether to build a small or a large facility at a new location in Fairfax. Demand at the location will either be low or high, with probabilities 0.6 and 0.4, respectively. If Cheryl builds a small facility and demand proves to be high, she then has the option of expanding the facility. If a small facility is built and demand proves to be high, and then the retailer expands the facility, the payoff is $230,000. If a small facility is built and demand proves to be high, but Cheryl then decides not to expand the facility, the payoff is $183,000. If a small facility is built and demand proves to be low, then there is no option to expand and the payoff is $250,000. If a large facility is built and demand proves to be low, Cheryl then has the option of stimulating demand through local advertising. If she does not exercise this option, then the payoff is $45,000. If she does exercise the advertising option, then the response to advertising will…

Consider a worker who works for at most two periods (say, when young and when old) at a particular firm. Each period, the worker can choose between exerting high effort and exerting low effort. The worker's cost of exerting high effort are Cy when young and Co when old. The worker's cost of exerting low effort are zero. The effort of the worker is difficult to observe by the firm. With probability T, the firm observes the worker's effort at the end of a period. With the remaining probability, the firm does not observe the worker's effort. The firm can only fire the worker when it observed that the worker has shirked. In that case, the firm is also allowed to withhold the worker's wage for the period in which the worker was caught shirking. When exerting high effort, the worker's productivity is q, when young and q, when old. When exerting low effort, the worker's productivity is zero. The worker's value of alternative job opportunities is when young and v, when old. For simplicity, the…

In the signaling game represented below, there are two types of Player 1, smart and dumb, the probabilities of which are 0.4 and 0.6, respectively. Player 1 is in college and can either ((Q)uit or (G)raduate. Player 2 is a prospective employer and can either (N)ot hire or (H)ire Player 1. Player 2's payoff does not depend upon l's education, only her intelligence. Player 1's payoff depends partly on her education: both types benefit from completing their education, but the smart type gets more out of it. Player l's payoff also depends on 2's hiring decision: the smart type wants a job but the weak type does not. 0,0 1, 1 2, 1 0,0 N H N H 2 Q Q .4 C .6 18 G G N H H 2,0 3,1 3, 1 1,0 (a) Find a separating PBE.

The decision tree below describes the game faced by firm H and firm T. The payoffs are profits in million of US$. The SPNE is(are): (Build large, Build large) (Build Small, Build Small) (Build Small, Build Large) (No build, Build Large) (Build Large, No Build)
