In Wheelan's Naked Economics, and according the the chapter on "Economics of Information," which of the below statements correctly captures why students pay thousands of dollars to get into highly selective universities such as Harvard?
Group of answer choices
Students who graduate from Harvard University are significantly brighter and better educated than those who do not.
Students engage in irrational behavior when they spend thousands of dollars on tuition and college expenses to study at highly selective universities such as Harvard.
There is little value to spending huge amounts of money to study at a highly selective university such as Harvard, because the university from which a student graduates has little (if any) impact upon the student's job or income prospects.
The choice of university signals information. Employers assume in general that the selectivity of universities ensures quality of education, and therefore graduates of Harvard and other selective universities…
Caroline and Frances are debating the pricing strategy of several airlines. Caroline argues, “When airlines restrict discounted tickets to people who book well in advance and stay over on a Saturday, it is not price discrimination, because the restrictions have nothing to do with individual buyers' willingness to pay.” However, Frances says, “The airlines' stay-over restrictions are a form of price discrimination, because they roughly split the market into two separate groups that are willing to pay two different amounts.”

- The author describes the case of the "Prisoner's Dilemma" to demonstrate which of the following? Competition and the pursuit of unfettered self-interest result in greater efficiency, and benefits everyone involved equally. Effective policy can place incentives in such a manner that the very pursuit of unfettered self-interest of the prisoners results in the desired outcome of getting both to confess to the crime. Just as in the case of the prisoner's dilemma, the pursuit of unfettered self-interest will cause the fishermen who fish Atlantic swordfish (a common resource) to harvest them wisely and limit the number of fish each fisherman catches. Thus the fishermen's ability to pursue unfettered self-interest will allow the population of swordfish to remain stable and even grow. The fishermen trust each other to behave responsibly and in the interest of the common good.arrow_forwardYou work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashers, frizzles, and cannies.
