- Let us consider the population of people living in a city and its suburb and the migration within this population from the city and the suburbs to the city and the suburbs. The migration of these populations from and to each other is given by a stochastic matrix [.95 .03] P = |.05 .97 The entries in this matrix were obtained from collected data that demonstrates individuals are 95 % likely to remain in the city, 5 % likely to move from the city to the suburbs, 3 % likely to move from the suburbs to the city, and 97 % likely to remain in the suburbs. Now suppose in the year 2000 60 % or .6 percent of people live in the city and 40 % or .4 percent of people live in the suburbs. What will be the percentage of people living in the city be in the year 2001? What will be the percentage of people living in the suburbs be in 2002?

- Suppose ECN and BMI are two firms in a patent race, where the probability of successful innovation is p. If one firm is successful, they earn monopoly profits of r and if both firms are successful, they flip a coin to determine who is awarded the patent (i.e. 50% probability of TM). Defining S = K/TM, where K is the fixed R&D cost, the expected profits can be represented in the following payoff matrix: BMI No R&D Lab R&D Lab No R&D Lab (0, 0) 0, TM (p – S) ECN R&D Lab| n"(p – S), 0 2 pr²-p) Which of the following conditions ensures only one firm invests in an R&D lab: Select one: O a. p(2 - p)/2 p O d.
