How does the problem of moral hazard affect the safety of sports such as football and boxing when safety regulations started requiring that players wear more padding?
Topic B Problem: Imagine you have two competing athletes who have the option to use an illegal and/or dangerous drug to enhance their performance (i.e., dope). If neither athlete dopes, then neither gains an advantage. If only one dopes, then that athlete gains a massive advantage over their competitor, reduced by the medical and legal risks of doping. However, if both athletes dope, the advantages cancel out, and only the risks remain, putting them both in a worse position than if neither had been doping.
What class concept best describes this situation? Using this class concept, what outcome do we expect from these two athletes? Are there any factors that could change the outcome predicted by this course concept?
Economics
Present an example of a prisoner's dilemma in
your own life. Describe the “cooperative" action for
each player that involves trusting the other in
some sense. Explain why mutual cooperation will
lead to an outcome that is preferred to mutual
defection. Describe why there is an incentive for
each to defect, or not cooperate, or not be
trustworthy. Discuss what might be done to
promote mutual cooperation, or what is done.

If neither athlete dopes, then neither gain an advantage. If only one dopes, then that athlete gains a massive advantage over their competitor, reduced by the medical and legal risks of doping (the athletes believe the advantage over their competitor outweighs the risks from doping ). However, if both athletes dope, the advantages cancel out, and only the risks remain, putting them both in a worse position than if neither had been doping.

Wilson has an offer from the Las Vegas Raiders for $30 million a year. If he signs with the Seahawks, they will earn $60 million in revenue from the signing. The Seahawks next best option is to sign Josh Allen. They would earn $45 million from signing Allen and would pay him a contract of $25 million. Russell Wilson and the Seahawks have equal bargaining power in the sense that they will split the surplus evenly. a) What is the negotiated salary between Wilson and the Seahawks under Nash Bargaining? What is Wilson's surplus and what is Seahawks surplus? b) Suppose that the Seahawks know about an injury to Josh Allen, such that they would only earn $30 million in revenue from signing Allen but would only have to pay him a contract of $20 million. What is the new negotiated salary between Wilson and the Seahawks under Nash Bargaining? What is Wilson's surplus and what is Seahawks surplus?arrow_forward

Three are Premiership games, with a demand for tickets (expressed in thousands)given by D = 150 − 3p per game, where p is the ticket price. Three of the other games are EastAnglia friendly matches with demand D = 90 − 3p per game. Finally, one is a Champion’s Leaguegame with a demand D = 240 − 3p. The costs of operating the stadium are independent of thenumber of tickets sold.(a) Determine the optimal ticket price for each game, assuming the objective is profit maximization.(b) Given that the stadium is frequently full, the idea of expanding the stadium has arisen. Apreliminary study suggests that the cost of capacity expansion would be £100 per seat per year.Would you recommend that the football club goes ahead with the project of capacity expansion?arrow_forwardwhat are some real-life examples of infinte and finite games?arrow_forward
- Information Is completearrow_forwardWhy does Tiger WoodsLinks to an external site. play in Asia and Australia late in the season when it’s no secret that he’d really only like to play four events per year if he could (the major championships)? It all comes down to cold hard cash. Woods’ appearance fee is $3 million and there are tournaments in Asia and Australia willing to shell out that kind of money for Woods’ presence. (Bleacherreport.com, "PGA Tour: Is It Time To Reconsider Appearance Fees?" Jan. 2011). If Tiger's appearance fee is the result of a Nash bargaining equilibrium, how much does his participation in these golf tournaments increase tournament revenues? Explain briefly.

He has got three options: to stay silent, confess, or tell the police that it was Jerry. Jerry can either remain at home, go to the police and blame Ben, or kill Ben's dog and cat. Ben feels good about confessing if Jerry does not do anything against him and feels good going to the police otherwise. Jerry on the other hand would hate to kill Ben's dog and cat, but would indulge in the revenge if Ben went to the police. For Jerry it is bad if Ben goes to the police. Ben is on the left and Jerry is on top, and their payoffs are on the left/right.
