Detail the difference between behavioral and non-behavioral economics. Suppose there is a proposal to replace workplace hiring system with a review of applicants’ resume and a skills test, and to eliminate in-person interviews. Given what has been learned about Systems 1 and 2, detail why one would think this hiring method work better or worse than an interview. What might be the pitfalls of relying on each method? In his book 'Blink', Gladwell described examples of situations when System 1 snap intuitive judgements can be more accurate than System 2 decisions? What are 2 examples of such judgements from his book. Should we always trust intuition more than we trust our rational thinking? Or should we trust system 2 more in most other life and work situations?

Willa and Lora are playing the dictator game. Let ww and wL be the amount of money Willa and Lora receive in the game, respectively. Willa plays the role of the dictator and must decide how to split $10. Suppose Willa’s preferences are given by U(ww,wL)=ww (second letters are subscripts). How much will Willa keep and how much will she give to Lora? Explain your answer in one or two sentences. Suppose instead that Willa’s preferences are given by U(ww,wL)=min(ww,wL). (second letters are subscripts) . How much will Willa keep and how much will she give to Lora? Explain your answer in one or two sentences.
Heterogeneity in an endowment economy Suppose we have two typesof households: A and B. The utility maximization problem for a consumerof type i is max InCi,t+β ln Ci,t+1 Ct,Ct+1subject to Ci,t +Ci,t+1/ 1 + rt = Yi,t + Yi,t+1 / 1 + rt Note that the A and B households have the same discount rate and the same utility function. The only thing that is possibly different is their endowments. 1, Write down the Euler equation for households A and B.
Historically, employers have tended to lay-off workers during economic downturns. According to a survey conducted by Yale economist Truman Bewley, which of the following help to explain this phenomenon? Check all that apply. Employers believe that they are not legally able to reduce wages. Even during severe recessions, most workers are able to keep their jobs, and so would rather see a few of their fellow workers laid off than take a pay cut themselves. Employers are fearful of renegotiating contracts because of threats from union officials. What is the major policy implication of this phenomenon? When the economy is experiencing a contraction, it causes the aggregate supply curve to shift to the right, returning the economy to potential output on its own. When the economy is experiencing a contraction, it tends to require an increase in aggregate demand to return to potential output. Long-term contracts limit wage flexibility, and most economists agree that they are therefore…
