Vanity license plates. According to a pricing model, increasing the fee for vanity license plates by $1 decreases the percentage of a state’s population that will request them by 0.04% (Source: E. D. Craft, “The demand for vanity (plates): Elasticities, net revenue maximization, and deadweight loss, “ Contemporary Economic Policy,
)
a. Recently, the tee for vanity license plates in Maryland was $25, and the percentage of the state’s population that had vanity plates was 2 13% Use this information to construct the demand function,
b. Find the fee, x, that will maximize revenue from vanity plates

We revisit the paradox of saving here in the context of the IS-LM framework in which investment depends on the interest rate and output. a. Suppose households attempt to save more so that consumer confidence falls (let's capture this change by a decrease in c, from the consumption function). Using an IS-LM diagram, show the effect of the fall in consumer confidence on output and the interest rate. b. How will the fall in consumer confidence affect consumption, investment, and private saving? Will the attempt to save more necessarily lead to more saving? Will this attempt necessarily lead to less saving? c. What do you think about the chances of having the paradox of saving in the IS-LM model compared to the goods market equilibrium model (i.e., the IS relation)?
