Suppose Tom, Mary and Jill have apartments in the same building, and installing a security system
for their building costs $750. Tom is willing to pay $100 for the security system, Mary is willing to
pay $300 and Jill is willing to pay $300. If the three of them hold a vote on whether to install the
system and split the cost equally, how will the vote go?
O Nobody would vote yes
O Only one would vote yes
Only two would vote yes
All three would vote yes
Suppose a consumer values a Red Sox - Yankees playoff ticket at $150, and the seller is unwilling
to sell the ticket for less than $200. What price will lead to an efficient transaction between the
potential buyer and seller?
any price greater than $200
O any price greater than or equal to $150 and less than or equal to $200
a price of $0
O any price greater than $0 and less than $150
No price will lead to an efficient transaction.
B3) We have a group of three friends: Kramer, Jerry and Elaine. Kramer has a $10 banknote
that he will auction off, and Jerry and Elaine will be bidding for it. Jeny and Elaine have to
submit their bids to Kramer privately, both at the same time. We assume that both Jerry and
Elaine only have $2 that day, and the available strategies to each one of them are to bid either
$0. $1 or $2. Whoever places the highest bid, wins the $10 banknote. In case of a tie (that is,
if Jerry and Elaine submit the same bid), each one of them gets $5. Regardless of who wins
the auction, each bidder has to pay to Kramer whatever he or she bid.

- 7arrow_forward4. Consider a three-player bargaining, where the players are negotiating over a surplus of one unit of utility. The game begins with player 1 proposing a three-way split of the surplus. Then player 2 must decide whether to accept the proposal or to substitute for player 1's proposal his own alternative proposal. Finally, player 3 must decide whether to accept or reject current proposal (it is player 1's if player 2 accepts or player 2's if player 2 offer a new one). If he accepts, then the players obtain the specified shares of the surplus. If player 3 rejects, then the players each get 0. (a) Draw the extensive form game of this perfect-information game.

Suppose that it is also known to all parties that a good truck is worth $8,000 to current owners and $10,000 to potential buyers. A bad truck, on the other hand, is only worth $1,000 to current owners and $2,000 to potential buyers. Throughout, assume that buyers are risk-neutral. 4) Suppose that after much haggling, the current owner is willing to let her truck go for $6,000. What is the most likely implication? a) The truck is a lemon. b) The buyer is an excellent negotiator. c) It's a mutually beneficial transaction.arrow_forward

Person 1, the seller, has no interest in the painting. On the other hand the painting is worth $100 to the buyer. If the painting is sold at a price in between 0 and 100, both are better off. Player 1 proposes a price p to player 2. Then, after observing player 1's offer, player 2 decides whether to accept it or to reject it. If the offer is rejected both get zero and the game ends.

- Newfoundland’s fishing industry has recently declined sharply due to overfish- ing, even though fishing companies were supposedly bound by a quota agree- ment. If all fishermen had abided by the agreement, yields could have been maintained at high levels. LO4 Model this situation as a prisoner’s dilemma in which the players are Company A and Company B and the strategies are to keep the quota and break the quota. Include appropriate payoffs in the matrix. Explain why overfishing is inevitable in the absence of effective enforcement of the quota agreement. Provide another environmental example of a prisoner’s dilemma. In many potential prisoner’s dilemmas, a way out of the dilemma for a would-be cooperator is to make reliable character judgments about the trustworthiness of potential partners. Explain why this solution is not avail- able in many situations involving degradation of the environment.arrow_forwardConsider the town of Springfield with only three residents, Sophia, Amber, and Cedric.
