We can explain this as Group of answer choices Evidence of participants reaching satiation and not wanting such high levels of the public good. Evidence of participants working out the Nash equilibrium outcome of the voluntary contribution game. Evidence of participants reducing cooperation to punish free riding. Evidence of participants learning how to play the game more effectively.arrow_forwardThe following is an excerpt describing the Oregon Medicaid lottery: In 2008, Oregon implemented a limited expansion of its Medicaid program for low-income adults through a lottery, selecting names from a waiting list to fill a limited number of available spots. Those selected had the opportunity to apply for Medicaid and to enroll if they met eligibility requirements. Based on the description, you might describe the Oregon Medicaid lottery as a: randomized experiment "As if random" natural experiment a true natural experimentarrow_forward
- For questions 44 and 45 consider the following: The town of Fenerbahce has hired world-class econometricians to investigate their criminal justice system. The researchers report an interesting finding. People who were previously detected and punished by law enforcers gain a better understanding of the functioning of the law enforcement system, and are better able to exploit laws designed to protect defendants against the state. Thus, people who have been detected and punished before are better able to avoid detection and punishment. In particular, they report the following facts: The offense of jay-walking causes social harm of $100. A person who has never been punished for jaywalking before faces a 0.5 probability of being detected while jaywalking. A person who has been punished before for jaywalking faces a probability of 0.25 of being detected while jaywalking. The town wants to implement optimal punishment schemes. It is well known that everyone in Fenerbahce is risk-neutral and…arrow_forwardwhile this topic may seem insensitive given the recent events in Uvalde (and others), in economics the "Guns vs. Butter" debate has been used for decades to describe the choice and trade-offs between producing a governmental capital goods (guns) vs. personal consumer goods (butter) in society. Please keep this in mind and do not get off topic in the guns vs. no guns debate or the idea of gun legislation. In this exercise you will demonstrate your ability to draw a simple production possibilities curve given data on the quantity of one input (labor) and the amount of labor required to produce each of two outputs (guns and butter). You should also be able to identify the opportunity cost of one good in terms of the other as the slope of the PPC. You will go on to explain your analysis. Guns or Butter? Suppose a nation has a total of 24 units of labor, which can be used to produce either guns or butter. One gun takes 6 units of labor to produce and 1 butter takes 2 units of labor to…arrow_forwardToilet paper flew off the shelves in the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic.

- Which of the following describes features on the equilibrium outcome resulting from a decision. Pick all that apply. Multiple answers: Multiple answers are accepted for this question Select one or more answers and submit. For keyboard navigation. SHOW MORE V It is the result of the decision maker maximizing her objective subject to constraints. It is an exogenous variable. It's value depends on the values of the exogenous variables in the decision process. It's value depends on the values of the endogenous varlables in the decision process.arrow_forwardWhen Adam Smith talked about “the invisible hand” he argued that: High transaction costs normally prevent markets from achieving equilibrium. Prices, in the long run, end up where both fairness and efficiency are achieved. Changing prices leads to an “end” which buyers and sellers are not totally pleased with, but one that is efficient. Create mutually agreed upon prices over time if the market is subsidized. As prices increase, demand falls, but supply rises, creating an equilibrium outcome. Self-interested activities help eliminate shortages and surpluses if price ceilings and price floors are effectively utilized.arrow_forwardOne of the principles of economics is that people respond to incentives. Using this principle, discuss how a tax imposed on people who refuse to get vaccinated against COVID-19 virus affects the national level of vaccination coverage.arrow_forward
