LL MICRO + SAPLING PLUS 1 TERM, Chapter 4, Problem aWYWL

In the above graph the coloured section shows the consumer surplus, the consumer surplus is the differences between the amounts that people are willing to pay for good or service and the amount they actually pay for the commodity. The consumer surplus lies below the demand curve and above the price line. An increase in the price of the commodity will reduce the consumer surplus and a decrease in the price of commodity increase the consumer surplus. The relationship between demand curve and consumer surplus is that the demand curve represents the willingness to pay for the commodity. For instance when there is a price increase a few people want to buy the goods than before so the willingness to pay for the commodity has decreased.

1. Suppose that the two nations face the following benefits of pollution, B, and costs of abatement, C: BN = 10, Bs = 7; CN = 5, Cs = 4. Further assume that if the nation chooses to abate pollution, it still receives the benefits of pollution but now must pay the cost of abatement as well. a. Identify the payoffs that accrue to each nation under the four different possible outcomes of the game and present these payoffs in the normal form of the game. b. Recall that the term dominant strategy defines the condition that a player in a game would prefer to play that strategy (in this case either pollute or abate) regardless of the strategy chosen by the other player in the game. Does either nation have a dominant strategy in this game? If so, what is it? c. Identify the Nash equilibria, or non-cooperative equilibria, of this game.
