Problem 2. (SW 12.8.) Consider a product market with a supply function Q₁ =B₁ + B₁P₁ + už, a demand function Q 7o+u, and an equilibrium condition Q = Q, where u and u are mutually independent i.i.d. random variables, both with a mean of 0. = (a) Show that P; and us are correlated. (b) Show that the OLS estimator of 3₁ is inconsistent. Hint: The standard strategy for showing inconsistency: first, argue that ₁ will Var(P) converge in large samples to Co(P), second, use OLS calculations to show that Cov(Q³,P) # B₁. Var(P) (c) How would you estimate Bo, B₁, and %0?
Kroger, the country's leading grocery-only chain, added a line of private latbel organic and natural foods call Simple Truth to its stores. If you've priced organic foods, you know they are more expensive. For example, a dozen conventionally farmed Grade-A eggs at Kroger costs consumers $1.5, whereas Simple Truth eggs are priced at $3.5 per dozen. One study found that, overall, the average price of organic foods is 85 percent more than that of conventional foods. However, if prices get too high, consumers will not purchase the organic options. One element of sustainability is organic farming, which costs much more than conventional farming, and those higher costs are passed on to consumers. Suppose that a conventional egg farmer's average fixed costs per year for conventionally-farmed eggs are $1 milion per year, but an organic egg farmer's fixed costs are four times that amount. Further assume that the organic farmer's variable costs of $2.7 per dozen are three times as much as…
Bevan’s Cycles, a chain of bike shops that were early adopters of an online business model, are trying to improve customer satisfaction from bike purchases. To do so, they are considering setting up a ‘fitting service’ to help customers get the perfect fit on their bikes, thus reducing bicycles returned. The way the service would operate is that customers will book a session with a ‘fitting expert’. This will involve the customer coming into the shop where they will be filmed riding a stationary bike (like you get at the gym) and then the film will be analysed by a computer system to give them the perfect fitting bike. At each bike shop, this will entail a fixed cost for installing the computer system for analysing each customer and a marginal cost for training each member of staff. The head office sets a budget of £10,000 if 2 members of staff are trained, and for the bigger stores £12,000 if 3 members of staff are trained. The total expense for this must be incurred in a single year.…
Business group Business Unity South Africa (BUSA) has written to Transport minister Fikile Mbalula requesting he makes changes to South Africa’s regulations around the transportation of logistics containers. According to BUSA, Regulation 224 (b) of the National Road Traffic Act currently prohibits the transportation of high cube containers on South African roads. “High cube containers constitute the overwhelming majority of containers currently manufactured and transported internationally – including in neighbouring states,” it said. “However, the combined height of a vehicle transporting a high cube container is currently 4.6 metres – 300mm above the legal limit.” Despite several years of industry engaging the Department of Transport on the matter, as well as moratoriums being issued, no progress has yet been forthcoming on fundamentally resolving the issue, the group said. “This regulatory anomaly puts South Africa’s trade and logistics regime out of step with international and…
Four companies (Firm 1, 2, 3 and 4) are producing a product for the market. Each company will decide the number of products produced. You are given that • . Each firm can choose its qi. Given the quantites produced by four companies (denoted by 91, 92, 93, 94 respectively), the market price of the product is P = 400 - 91-92-93 - 94. Cost of producing one product is 20 (*Note: So the total cost for producing qi units of product is 20qi. Firm 1 and Firm 2 will first decide the quantities produced simultaneously at the beginning. After knowing 91 and 92, Firm 3 and Firm 4 will decide the quantities produced simultaneously. (a) State the strategic profiles of each firm. (b) Find all possible subgame perfect equilibrium for this games. Provide full justification to your answer.

Next Friday, you plan to sell cakes at a bake sale to raise money for your school. You plan to charge $30 per cake, and you anticipate that you will sell 10 cakes. You can either purchase cakes to sell or bake them yourself. If you purchase the cakes, they will cost $25 each. If you bake your own cakes, your cost depends upon the number of cakes you bake, as shown in the table below.

The Red Lobster (RL) restaurant chain has been using two seafood vendors for lobster: Cape Cod Fisheries (CCF) and Maine's Best. Lobsters from CCF averaged $2.20/pound last year while Maine's Best averaged $3.33/lb. While quality has been good from both vendors, CCF continually delivers late and RL has to pay the dock employees overtime to accept deliveries. Last year's overtime costs were $50,000. RL purchased a total of 100,000 lbs. last year from CCF. Calculate the Supplier Performance Index (SPI) for CCF. А.) 2.20 B.) Not enough info available С.) 1.23 D.) 1.33 Е.) 1.05
Two firms, Firm 1 and Firm 2, compete by simultaneously choosing prices. Both firms sell an identical product for which each of 100 consumers has a maximum willingness to pay of $40. Each consumer will buy at most 1 unit, and will buy it whichever firm charges the lowest price. If both firms set the same price, they share the market equally. Costs are given by ci(qi) = 16q;. Because of regulation, firms can only choose prices which are integer numbers, and they cannot price above $40. Answer the following: a) If Firm 1 chooses pi = 36, Firm 2's best response is to set what price?_________ b) If Firm 2 chooses the price determined in the previous question, Firm 1's best response is to choose what price?_________ C) If Firm 1 chooses pi = 11, Firm 2's best response is a range of prices. What is the lowest price in this range?__________ d) Now suppose both firms are capacity-constrained: Firm 1 can produce at most 31 units, and Firm 2 can produce at most 43 units. If firms set…
