Match the heuristic with the scenario it best demonstrates. Consider the experiment. People are on the beach and they want ice cream. Vendor A fills up a 12oz cup with 8oz of ice cream (it's nearly half empty) while vendor B fills up a 5 oz cup with 7 oz ice cream (so the ice cream is over flowing). A. Survey results indicate that people's willingness to pay for the overfilled ice cream was higher than the under-filled. The interpretation was that people had a more positive feeling of satisfaction getting an overfilled cup. v availability heuristc vrepresentativeness heuristic When asked to rank the rates of different causes of death, people are more likely to rate firearm related deaths as higher than other B. causes because they watch and hear about firearms more frequently in the news (even though death by drug overdoses, for example, rank higher). v affect heuristic Tim is tough, hard-working and outdoorsy. Is he more likely to be c a farmer or a teacher? Many people would choose farmer based on the farmer stereo-type. In reality, it is far more likely that Tim is a teacher based purely on probability.

In the markets for used items, there is a natural inclination for adverse selection. This means- Only high quality items are sold.- All items are sold- Only low quality items are sold - A mix of high and low quality items are sold.
Consider the experiment of a toss of two coins. A: observes one head.B: observes two heads. Find P(A) and P(B). Group of answer choices P(A) = 0.1 and P(B) = 0.2 P(A) = 0.25 and P(B) = 0.25 P(A) = 0.5 and P(B) = 0.25 P(A) = 0.25 and P(B) = 0.5 P(A) = 0.5 and P(B) = 0.5
Adverse selection is the phenomenon where it is not possible to have a Pareto improvement, no matter how the government selects the initial distribution of Income B charging a higher insurance premium to cover the costs of risk actually leads to the situation in which only the most risky buy the insurance, and this causes that market to fail. people select the wrong indifference curve. information is withheld from the government so it cannot make the necessary selection of the correct amount of public good to produce

Faris Co. and Fahad Co. are rivalry in Bahrain's market. Suppose the payoff to each of four strategic interactions are as follows: Faris Co. Response Action Reduce Price Don't Reduce Price Gain = BD 30,000 Reduce Price Loss = BD 1,000 Don't Reduce Price Loss = BD 5,000 No loss or gain The probability of Faris Co. to reduce price is 95 % (otherwise, probability of Faris Co. for not reducing price is 5 %), assume that Fahad Co. choose "reduce price" strategy a. What is size of loss from "reduce price" for Fahad Co.? b. What is size of gain from "don't reduce price" for Fahad Co? c. What is the expected payoff of a "reduce price" for Fahad Co.? and give an example (application) of d. Explain the concept of 'game theory' game theory Fahad Co. Response
Exercise 1.4. There are two players. Each player is given an unmarked envelope and asked to put in it either nothing or $300 of his own money or $600. A referee collects the envelopes, opens them, gathers all the money, then adds 50% of that amount (using his own money) and divides the total into two equal parts which he then distributes to the players. (a) Represent this game frame with two alternative tables: the first table showing in each cell the amount of money distributed to Player 1 and the amount of money distributed to Player 2, the second table showing the change in wealth of each player (money received minus contribution). (b) Suppose that Player 1 has some animosity towards the referee and ranks the outcomes in terms of how much money the referee loses (the more, the better), while Player 2 is selfish and greedy and ranks the outcomes in terms of her own net gain. Represent the corresponding game using a table. (c) Is there a strict dominant-strategy equilibrium?

QUESTION 2 You work for a big retail chain that operates in a large number of regional markets and you want to investigate the effect of increased marketing spending on sales. You randomly select half of the markets and increase the marketing budget in these markets by 10%. The rest of the markets are allocated the same marketing budget as before. Then comparing the average sales in the markets with increased marketing budget and average sales in the remaining markets will give an unbiased estimate of the true causal effect of increased marketing spending on sales. True O False
