All they use to predict productivity is where they went to school and their GPA. There is no difference in average true ability between students at Harvard and Yale.

The company hires very few graduates and the cutoff for expected productivity is well above average. What will be true about the GPA cutoffs for the two schools?
A. The cutoff for Harvard will be higher.B. The cutoff for Yale will be higher.C. The cutoffs will be the same.D. There is not enough information to answer this question.

Each player pays 1 for each unit of time he/she stays. The winner that gets the reward is the last to quit. If several agents are the last to stay and they quit at exactly the same time, the reward is given to one of them following a fair lottery (each of them has the same probability to get the reward). In the first round, each player chooses her/his first exit time, 0 ≤ xi < ∞, and the player with the lowest value, xmin, pays xmin and quits. The other two players also pay xmin, but they continue to the second round. If several players try to quit together at xmin, only one player actually quits, and that player is determined in a lottery in which each of the players that try to quit at xmin have the same chance. The second round is the usual 2-players war of attrition, where each of the remaining two players chooses her/his exit time 0 ≤ yi…arrow_forward
