Explanation of Solution

According to Keynes, only the government intervention with increasing spending can stimulate the economy. When the government spends money, the investments will increase. An increase in the investments cause to increase the employment and thereby the output in an economy.  On the final result, aggregate demand will increase. The government spending always has a multiplier effect on an economy. So, it does not matter how much the government spends. That’s why the Keynes says that ‘even a broken window helps the glass man have some wealth’.

In a classic oil-drilling example, you are trying to decide whether to drill for oil on a field that might or might not contain any oil. Before making this decision, you have the option of hiring a geologist to perform some seismic tests and then predict whether there is any oil or not. You assess that if there is actually oil, the geologist will predict there is oil with probability 0.85 . You also assess that if there is no oil, the geologist will predict there is no oil with probability 0.90. Please answer the two questions below, as I am trying to ensure that I am correct.  1. Why will these two probabilities not appear on the decision tree? 2. Which probabilities will be on the decision tree?
