C) Evidence of participants working out the Nash equilibrium outcome of the voluntary contribution game.

So, for example, utility of individual i is given by u = pi, where pi is the individual’s payoff. Suppose the individual is playing a dictator game with another partner j.

They exercise different amounts and have different marginal benefits for any given size of public park. The marginal benefits for each person are: MBA (A) =6-A/4; MBB (A) =14-A; MBC (A)=15-3A, where subscripts denote each person. The marginal cost of A acres of park is 18. Suppose the county government informs the voters that for each unit of A, each person will pay a tax of $6. What would be each person's preferred size of A? What would be the size of A that would result from voting? Suppose that the government of Parkland decides that it wants to provide the efficient size of park. Further suppose that the government decides it is now willing to charge different people a different tax to meet this goal. What would be the size of A ?

- Consider the following statement: “I examined the statistics for our basketball team’s wins last year and found that, when the third team played more, the winning margin increased. If the coach played the third team more, we would win by a bigger margin.” Which of the following applies to this statement? This statement exemplifies the post hoc ergo propter hoc (“after this, therefore because of this”) fallacy, whereby association is confused with causation. This statement is correct because third teams always win by larger margins in basketball games. This statement is correct. If the coach had played the third team more often, the winning margin would have increased. The statement is logical and exhibits no fallacy.arrow_forwardThe Dictator of Abydos is worried that the population might protest or rebel, as neighboring countries have recently undergone revolution. The population is similarly inspired to consider rebellion. The Dictator must decide whether to go ahead and repress, do nothing, or step down peacefully. The population has three options: do nothing, engage in mass protest, or violently revolt. These choices must be made simultaneously, without observing what the other player chose. The dictator will lose power if they step down peacefully or the population revolts. However, repression would successfully overpower a revolt, allowing the dictator to retain power. The dictator values their position at 50 utility, which they would lose if they lose power. They would also lose an additional 100 utility if they are ousted in a revolt, as they would imprisoned. The population would gain 50 utility if the dictator steps down and 30 utility if the dictator is ousted in a revolt. Repression would cost each…arrow_forwardProblem 2 A local girls soccer team decides to sell chocolate bars to raise some money for new uniforms.
