In an auction, potential buyers compete for a good by submitting bids. Adam Gallinsky, a social scientist from
NWU, compared eBay auctions in which the same good was sold. He found on average that, the higher the
number of bidders the higher the sales price. For example, in two separate auctions of identical IPods, the one
with the higher number of bidders brought the higher sales price. According to Gallinsky, this explains why
smart sellers set absurdly low opening prices (the lowest price the seller will accept), such as 1 cent for a new
IPod. Use the concept of consumer and producer surplus to explain this reasoning.

This is the first time PJ is hearing at an auction. PJ has approached you to explain to him what auction means and asked you if he should sell his car on auction or not.

A referee then looks at the bids, announces the amount of the lowest bid (without revealing who submitted it) and invites Amy to either pass or double her initial bid. - The outcome is determined by comparing Amy's final bid to Bill's bid: if one is greater than the other then the higher bidder gets the object and pays his/her own bid; if they are equal then Bill gets the object and pays his bid. Represent this situation by means of two alternative extensive frames. Note: (1) when there are simultaneous moves we have a choice as to which player we select as moving first: the important thing is that the second player does not know what the first player did; (2) when representing, by means of information sets, what a player is uncertain about, we typically assume that a player is smart enough to deduce relevant information, even if that information is not explicitly given to…arrow_forwardEconomics Suppose that Russell Wilson is negotiating a contract with the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson has an offer from the Las Vegas Raiders for $30 million a year. If he signs with the Seahawks, they will earn $60 million in revenue from the signing. The Seahawks next best option is to sign Josh Allen. They would earn $45 million from signing Allen and would pay him a contract of $25 million. Russell Wilson and the Seahawks have equal bargaining power in the sense that they will split the surplus evenly. a) What is the negotiated salary between Wilson and the Seahawks under Nash Bargaining? What is Wilson's surplus and what is Seahawks surplus? b) Suppose that the Seahawks know about an injury to Josh Allen, such that they would only earn $30 million in revenue from signing Allen but would only have to pay him a contract of $20 million. What is the new negotiated salary between Wilson and the Seahawks under Nash Bargaining? What is Wilson's surplus and what is Seahawks surplus?arrow_forward
- You own Naughty Pine lumber and sell fence panels in a competitive market. Right now, your selling price is $130 for a fence panel, and you sell 8 panels a day. You are considering changing your price. You estimate that if you raise your price to $152 a panel, you would sell 7 panels a day. On the other hand, if you lower your price to $108 a panel, you would sell 12 panels a day. (a) Draw a graph of the above information. Label your axes, and the curve. Be sure your work is clear. (b) Use the MIDPOINT FORMULA to calculate Ed over the ranges below. Use TWO decimals in your answers. (i)Calculate the price elasticity of demand for a price change from $130 to $152 and daily Total Revenue if you change your price to $152 a panel (ii)Calculate the price elasticity of demand for a price change from $130 to $108 and daily Total Revenue if you change your price to $108 a panel Should you keep your current price, or raise the price, or lower the price?arrow_forwardHalp asap economicsarrow_forward10arrow_forward

For a good with network externalities, the number of people who are willing to buy a unit of the good is uniquely determined by the price. Network externalities are always positive. The manufacturer of a new good with network externalities might give away a free version of the good. For a good with network externalities, one person's valuation of the good is always increasing in the number of other people using the good.arrow_forwardКееp production $200 million $300 million Using what you know about the prisoner's dilemma, what would be the profit for Antel and constant IMD in millions?

- Economics: Industrial Economics Question Consider the following sequential game between firm 1 and firm 2: First, firm 1 decides to either adopt an aggressive marketing strategy or not. Second, Firm 2 observes firm 1's decision and then also decides between its own aggressive strategy, a passive strategy or whether to leave the market altogether. The profits (in millions of dollars) of the firms are as follows: If both adopt an aggressive strategy, then firm 1's payoff is $14 and firm 2's is $1. If firm 1 adopts an aggressive strategy and firm 2 does not, then the payoff for firm 1 is $21 and for firm 2 is -$5. If firm 1 does nothing and firm 2 adopts an aggressive strategy, firm 1's payoff is $10 and firm 2's is $9. If both do nothing, then firm 1 makes $20 in profits and firm 2 makes $5. Finally, if firm 2 leaves the market altogether, it makes $0 and firm 1 makes $20 with an aggressive strategy and $24 without one. 1.
