A small community has 20 people, each of whom has a wealth of $12,000. Each individual must choose whether to contribute $300 or $0 to the support of public entertainment for their community. The money value of the benefit that a person gets from this public entertainment is b times the total amount of money contributed by individuals in the community. Question 3 options: If 20b > 1, everybody is better off if all contribute to the public entertainment fund than if nobody contributes, but if 20b < 1, everybody is better off if nobody contributes than if all contribute Everybody is worse off if all contribute than if nobody contributes if b > 1, but if b < 1, everybody is better off if nobody contributes. This game has a dominant strategy equilibrium in which nobody contributes anything for public entertainment. If 20b > 1, there is a dominant strategy equilibrium in which everybody contributes. In order for there to be a dominant strategy equilibrium in which all…
Scenario The government of the island nation of Autarka has become increasingly concerned about the health and wellbeing of low-income households. Medical experts stress the importance of a healthy diet in this regard. They have determined that, ideally, a household would consume at least 10kg of fresh fruit and vegetables each week. The government has proposed implementing a new voucher scheme to ensure that the 10kg per week consumption target is met. Under the government’s proposal, the vouchers would be redeemable for fresh fruit and vegetables, but could not be used for other types of food, or for non-food consumption. Moreover, to limit the cost of the voucher scheme, the value of the vouchers sent to a household would be linked to the household’s income. Community groups in Autarka have expressed concern that a voucher scheme is unnecessarily paternalistic; depriving low-income households of the choice of how to spend their income. These groups argue that the government’s…
please answer all including ones that may have already been selected. Eric and Kenji are considering contributing toward the creation of a public park. Each can choose whether to contribute $300 to the public park or to keep that $300 for a cell phone. Since a public park is a public good, both Eric and Kenji will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.90 of benefit. For example, if both Eric and Kenji choose to contribute, then a total of $600 would be contributed to the public park. So, Eric and Kenji would each receive $540 of benefit from the public park, and their combined benefit would be $1,080. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table. Since a cell phone is a private good, if Eric chooses to spend $300 on a cell phone, Eric would get $300 of benefit from the cell phone and Kenji wouldn't receive any benefit from Eric's choice. If Eric still spends $300…
The figure below show the initial optimal point of a family who has to decide how much kids (K) to have in 5 years and at the same time how much of all other goods to consumer (measured as composite good in dollars). Now assuming that kids are inferior goods/services, show the new optimal point as e2 if the income of the family increases. IC₁ to K
