Explanation of Solution

Gross domestic product is the money value of all final goods and services produced within the political territory of the country in a financial year. Thus, according to the table of the GDP of the countries, the United States has the highest GDP with $14,447 and the highest GDP per capita. While going for the second nation with the highest GDP, it is China with $10,807 whereas the country with the second highest GDP per person is Canada with the value of $46,569.

Question Seven There are specific applications of the hidden-action or moral hazard model. Consider employment contracts signed between a firm's owners and a manager who runs the firm on behalf of the owners. The manager is offered an employment contract which they can accept and decide how much effort, e ≥ 0, to exert. Suppose that an increase in effort, e, increases the firm's gross profit, not including payments to the manager, but is personally costly to the manager and the firm's gross profit, Пg, takes the following form: Пg = e +ε, ε~N(0,2). Let s denote the salary, which may depend on effort and/or gross profit, depending on what the owner can observe, offered as part of the contract between the owner and manager. Suppose that the manager is risk averse and has a utility function with respect to salary of the form: Aσ² U(W)=μ- 2 a) Derive the optimal result of the owner's expected net profit where there is full information and state what it implies. b) Suppose now that the…
