Weather & Climate: Location Primer Using the location you chose for your project, describe/define the following: Climate: include the Koppen-Geiger classification with the description; annual mean temperature & mean monthly temperature range Topography: describe the elevation of your location and any pertinent geology features (mountains, plains, ocean, etc.) Land-use: locate a generalized zoning or how the land is used in your location Precipitation Changes: general precipitation trend, changes over the century, impacts of precipitation (flooding, pollution, etc.) IPCC Future Projections: global warming, sea level rise, weather events, etc. Energy Sources: where power comes from (gas, hydroelectric, etc.) Population: population this year, population density The above may be in notation fashion.

This assignment is basically an open question final exam, not a formal research paper. I want you to choose some strategic interaction in which you are involved and apply some of the ideas you learned in the course to explain and analyze the interaction. Try to formulate it as a game in some combination of extensive and/or normal form. Who are the players? What are the strategies and payoffs? What are the rules? Does it involve uncertainty or asymmetric information. How would you classify it according to the classifications in chapter 2. Does it have rollback, Nash, mixed, dominant strategy, Bayesian, and/or rationalizable equilibria? Are there strategic moves that players may choose to influence the game? Does the game involve repetition or reputation? Are their issues involving collective action? Are there any aspects of the “Art of Strategy,” i.e., considerations that are relevant but not part of the formal model of the game? You do not have to have all the above features in your choice of interaction, but it is better to choose an interaction that enables you to discuss many of these features to demonstrate what you have learned. The paper should be about 8-12 pages. It should include diagrams, tables, and calculations as appropriate. You do not need to use outside sources in your paper, but you should cite them if you do use them. Any form of citation that includes the author, title, source, and date is fine. You should write the paper as you were explaining the ideas to a friend who has not had the course. This means you need to explain the ideas you cover well enough that your friend could understand the concepts. The purpose of the assignment is to demonstrate what you have learned in the course by applying your knowledge to some familiar situation. Creativity is encouraged and will enhance your score.

PART ONE: A monopolist can charge any price they like for their product and it will sell. Evaluate the above statement. Is it true? If so, how do you know? Is the above statement false? If so, why? In your answer, be sure to also explain what a monopolist is (what are the defining characteristics, etc). PART TWO: Google and Yahoo! are two large search engine companies. Combined, these companies control a large market share in the search engine industry. Both companies currently advertise their search engines on television, and each company earns a profit of $550 million. If both companies were to stop advertising on television, each would earn a profit of $600 million. If only one company were to stop advertising on television and the other company continued to do so, the company that stopped advertising would earn a profit of $200 million and the company that continued to advertise would earn a profit of $800 million. Assume this is a simultaneous-move game where Google and Yahoo! choose to advertise or choose not to advertise, and Google and Yahoo! cannot collude. a. What is a payoff matrix? Explain this concept in your own words and explain why it is used in game theory. b. Does Google have a dominant strategy? If so, how did you find this strategy? (In other words, write a short description about your process of verifying this dominant strategy). In your response be sure to define a dominant strategy in your own words.
QUESTION 1: Lola is the owner of a bakery that earns 0 (zero) economic profit. Last year, her total revenue was $165,000, her rent was $10,000, her labor costs were $85,000, and her overhead expenses were $11,000. a. What were Lola's total explicit costs? b. What were Lola's total implicit costs? c. Currently, Lola has 8 employees; with 8 employees, her bakery can produce 12 wedding cakes per day. If she hired a ninth employee, she’d be able to produce 16 wedding cakes per day. What is the marginal product, in terms of wedding cakes, of the ninth employee? QUESTION 2: Answer the following questions based on the accompanying graph. What is the change in revenues associated with the price effect for this firm when the price decreases from $50 to $30? What is the change in revenues associated with the output effect for this firm when the price decreases from $50 to $30 Would the firm gain revenue if it lowered the price from $50 to $30? Explain.
