There is a unit mass of individuals ("sellers") willing to sell their cars to a unit mass of buyers. A half of the sellers has low quality cars and the other half has high quality cars. The seller with a low quality car values it at $1000 and the one with high quality car values it at $2000. The buyers are willing to pay $2400 for a higher quality car and $1200 for a low quality car. Each seller first decides whether to bring his car to the market or not. Each car brought to the market is sold at the price equal to a buyer's willingness to pay given the information available to the buyer. (a)Suppose that the buyers observe the quality of each car. Analyze the perfect Bayesian equilibrium decisions of the sellers' market participation. (b)Suppose the buyers cannot tell the qualities of the cars. How does your equilibrium analysis change?

Arnold Van would like to buy some 'sala' set for his new house and Aaron, another consumer would also like to get one. The nearby department store sells a sala set for P35,500 and a local market reseller sells the same sala set for P 30,000 only. Arnold Van bought from the department store and Aaron from the local market. Can you propose reasons how these two people made different decisions?
17th Assignment You have 10 posters. You know 10 people such that 1 person is willing to pay $9 for the poster, another $8, another $7, each successive person is willing to pay a dollar less all the way down to a 10th person willing to take the poster for free. Everyone want's only one poster. If you can only charge one price, what price do you charge?

3. Consider a market for second-hand cars. Assume that there are 100 sellers with good quality cars and 200 sellers with bad quality cars. Assume also that there are 300 of potential buyers (each buyer is willing to purchase at most one car). A good quality car is worth $10400 to the seller, while a bad quality one is worth only $8000 to the seller. A buyer is willing to pay $13000 for a good car, and $10000 for a bad one. All agents are price takers and they are risk-neutral. Suppose that each seller knows the quality of his car but buyers are not able to distinguish a good car from a bad one. Assume that each seller can sell the car together with a guarantee that costs $0,5 thousand per year to the good quality sellers, and costs $1 thousand per year to the bad ones. Suppose that sellers can choose the duration of the guarantee (i.e. number of years is any nonnegative number). Assume that the sellers get the entire surplus from trade. (a) Find all separating equilibria both…

4. Picking a Quality Level Suppose dwelling quality is measured on a scale of 1 to 10, and the monthly cost of producing a particular quality equals the square of the quality level: For quality level 1, the cost is $1; for quality level 2, the cost is $4, and so on. The monthly rent equals the price per unit of quality (P = $9) times the quality level. Total revenue B Total cost Quality of dwelling Marginal cost Marginal revenue Quality of dwelling Owner's objective is to maximize profit, the gap between total revenue and total cost. Profit is maximized at the quality level where the marginal benefit (the price of quality) equals the marginal cost: q*. a. Use a two-panel graph as the above figure to show the profit- maximizing quality level. b. At the profit maximizing quantity of marginal cost equals
