Explanation of Solution

The institution is a set of rules of behavior, which is necessary to run the economy. The institutions are important to maintain a smooth functioning of an economy because they help to set limit on the social interactions, political interactions, as well as the economic interactions of the economy. The institutions can either be formal or informal. The formal institutions means that there will be a set of predefined laws or regulations in the economy, which will be written and well published such as the civil codes and university standard of behavior, and so on. There are informal institutions, and the informal institutions will not be predefined and written like the formal institutions. They will be the social norms and rules that are being carried over through generations and those include the table manners as well as the social behavior, and so on.

The organization is the association of the individuals who are formed to achieve a certain objective in the economy or to attain a standard of the economy. The difference between the institution and organization is that the institutions are the rules that govern the organizations.

Consider the simple discrete job search model that we studied in class. Only the unemployed can receive one offer per period from F(w) that is a uniform distribution on [0,2]. There is a constant probability of being laid off at the end of each period while employed. Assume that she can get a new offer right away when laid off. We want to understand the reservation wage, WR, in this model. Assume that u(c) = c. The parameters are a discount factor ẞ and an unemployment benefit b.R and show that T is contraction on [0, ∞). Explicitly state any additional assumptions that you may need.(Grading guide line: 5pt for the exact form of T, 10pt for showing contraction, and 5pt for stating correct assumptions.)< (b) Discuss why (a) is useful to understand the reservation wage wд in this economy.< (c) We write WR = WR (b,ẞ,λ) to reveal its dependence on (b,ẞ,λ).

3. Consider the market for paper. The process of producing paper creates pollution. Assume that the marginal damage function for pollution is given by: MDF = 3E where damages are measured in dollars and E is the level of emissions. Assume further that the function describing the marginal abatement cost of emissions is given by MAC 120-E where benefits are measured in dollars and E is the level of emissions. a. Graph the marginal damage function (MDF) and the marginal abatement cost function (MAC). b. What is the unregulated level of emissions Eu? What is the social welfare of this emissions level? c. Assume an existing emission quota limits emissions to E = 60. Show on the graph why this policy is inefficient. What is the deadweight loss caused by this policy?
