Two charities are collecting old clothes in a county that has three towns along a road, as depicted. Each town has 100 inhabitants who will donate one item to the charity that collects closest to them (in case they are equally close, donations are equally divided). Each charity wants to maximize the number of items it collects. Which of the following outcomes survive(s) iterated deletion of dominated strategies? Leftville Rightchester Middlehurst One charity collects in Leftville, the other in Rightchester. Both charities collect in Middlehurst. O Both charities collect in Leftville or both charities collect in Rightchester. One charity collects in Middlehurst, the other in Leftville or Rightchester.

Which of the following market conditions is not necessary for a firm to engage in price discrimination? O A firm must have the ability to prevent arbitrage. A firm must have the ability to separate consumers intoigroups based on their elasticities of demand. O A firm must have the ability to hide their prices from consumers. A firm must have some market power. Publisher: Worth Publishers 7:41 PM Question Source: Chiang 4e - Economics Principles For A Changing World 39°F A O 1 a I E 4) 23 12/12/2021 a
Two rival companies competing in the same market need to decide their plans for future expansion of their stores. The Table below shows the possible outcomes of their mutually interdependent actions (payoffs are profits in £m) Giga Company Titanic Conglomerate No Change Refurbishment of existing stores Large Expansion No Change 30, 40 25, 35 15, 24 Refurbishment of existing stores 35, 30 28, 32 18, 33 Large Expansion 12, 22 18, 20 20, 25 The Nash equilibrium: (A) does not exist. (B) occurs when both firms choose Refurbishment of existing stores. (C) occurs when both firms choose Large Expansion. (D) occurs when both firms choose No Change.
THE PRISONERS' DILEMMA Consider the following simple model of a cocktail party. Alice and Bob are carrying on separate conversations at the party. Alice speaks at volume a and Bob speaks at volume b. The communication benefit to Alice is al(a + b) and the benefit to Bob is b/(a + b). The vocal-strain cost to Alice is ca and the cost to Bob is cb, where c is a parameter. Suppose that the players have two choices: speaking softly at volume 1, or speaking loudly at volume 4. This leads to the following game in strategic form, with Alice choosing the row and Bob choosing the column. a = 1 a = 4 b = 1 0.5-c, 0.5-c 0.8-4c, 0.2-c 0.0400 0.0500 0.0750 0.0800 0.1500 b = 4 0.2 c, 0.8-4c - 0.54c, 0.5-4c For which of the following values of c is this game a prisoners' dilemma? (Mark all values for which this is true.)
Consider the case of global environmental problems that spill across international borders as a prisoner’s dilemma of the sort studied in Monopolistic Competition and Oligopoly. Say that there are two countries, A and B. Each country can choose whether to protect the environment, at a cost of 10, or not to protect it, at a cost of zero. If one country decides to protect the environment, there is a benefit of 16, but the benefit is divided equally between the two countries. If both countries decide to protect the environment, there is a benefit of 32, which is divided equally between the two countries. a. In Table, fill in the costs, benefits, and total payoffs to the countries of the following decisions. Explain why, without some international agreement, they are likely to end up with neither country acting to protect the environment.
You have three tickets to a Celtics game on a night that you are going to be out of town (so the value of unsold tickets is zero to you). There are only four possible buyers of a Celtics ticket. The table below lists the respective reservation prices of these four possible buyers: Customer Reservation Price 1 $25 2 $35 3 $50 4 $60 You consider inviting bids using an English auction to sell your tickets. How much total revenue can you generate using the English auction mechanism from the sale of the three tickets? [Bids can be made in increments of $1.00]
Suppose that two firms produce a particular (homogeneous) product. The inverse demand function for the product is P = 100 -Q. The firms have marginal cost equal to 10. (a) Derive the Cournot Nash equilibrium quantities, and the corresponding price and profits. Show all work. (b) Suppose that the current price is the Cournot price you derived in part (a). Using the hypothetical monopolist test and assuming a 5% threshold for the test, does the good in question represent an antitrust market? Show all work and explain your answer. There are different ways to answer this question and any correct approach will be accepted. (c) Suppose more generally that marginal cost is equal to c. For what values of c will this product represent an antitrust market? Show your work and explain your answer. Maximum size for new files: 400MB Files
In order to solve a game using the concept of iterated dominance, which of the following assumptions must hold? (check all that apply) players are risk neutral the players are rational the players know that cach other is rational the players know that each other knows each other is rational.
The French autoroute network is composed of toll motorways with entrances marked as such. A motorist entering the network obtains a ticket from a toll booth and pays a toll when leaving the motorway. Given the number of vehicles traveling these routes, congestion at both entrances and exits is common. Suppose that four groups, each of 50 motorists, use an autoroute. The price each group is willing to pay, v, differs among groups and falls as the amount of congestion, c, increases in the following way: vij = vi max-cj; i, j = 0,..., 3, where vi max = 0.4 -0.1 * i euros per kilometer is the maximum group i is willing to pay to use the motorway and cj = 0.06 * j euros per kilometer is the loss in value as more groups use it. The marginal cost of using the autoroute, not including the marginal cost of congestion, is zero. a. If the toll charged for using the autoroute equals a motorist's marginal private cost-the price in a competitive market-how many vehicles per minute will use it? Which…

Suppose you have one type of customer who comes to see your team play and that customer has a demand curve of P = $40 - Q. Also assume the marginal cost of having a person come to see your game is a constant $2. If you were to charge a two-part pricing scheme whereby you charged a PSL and then a price-per-ticket, which strategy would lead to the highest possible profit per customer? PSL = $722; P = $2 %3D PSL = $361; P = $21 %3D PSL = $1,444; P = $21 %3D PSL = $361; P = $2 %3D
