Consider the following two demand segments: 120−4Q = P and 100−4Q = P assuming there’s a constant marginal cost to serving either group, C(Q) = 60Q.
1. Find the optimal price, quantity and profits when the firm is able to practice third degree price discrimination.
2. Find the optimal price, quantity and profits when the firm is unable to practice third degree price discrimination.
3. Compute the price elasticity of demand associated with each optimal monopoly output in each segment. Do these results match what we would expect?

Suppose there are two types of demanders, casual: P = 500 − Q and hardcore: P = 500 − 0.5Q; while the cost to serve all consumers is given by C(Q) = 200Q. For simplicity, we’ll assume there is just a single consumer of each type.
1. Find the optimal two part pricing scheme when all prospective customers must be offered the same fixed access fee and per-unit price.
2. Find the optimal two part pricing scheme when the firm is able to treat each demand segment as distinct from the other and therefore may offer a different access fee and per-unit price to each group.

While your country has an open capital account, your financial markets remain imperfectly integrated with those of the rest of the world. The central bank in your country targets the stock of domestic credit. One day, an IMF team arrives and convinces the Finance Minister that your country’s fiscal deficit is excessive. The Finance Minister persuades the parliament to pass a tax increase to reduce the deficit. Explain what effect you would expect this measure to have on:
The aggregate price level and level of real GDP.
The level of employment and the real wage.
The level of exports, of imports, and of net exports.

This is the assignment I have, I need the best game theory problem example for it which is difficult. Thank you:)
Think of an example of a decision problem or a game theory
problem. This time you
will have to submit the source of the story. You can take it from a
newspaper, from
Internet, magazine, book...
1. Submit a photocopy or a printed version of your problem.
2. Simplify the problem and represent it using the concepts of game
theory or
decision theory.
3. Solve it.
4. Compare your results with the real-life results.
5. In case the results do not coincide explain why. Which is the
element that the
theory does not reflect?
Your grade will depend on:
1. The problem you have choosen
(easy-difficult)
2. Your ability to represent the problem
3. Your knowledge of the methods we have used in class, that you
are expected to
use to solve your problem
4. If you want an excelent grade, try to find problems in
which game theory or
decision theory fails. For examples not taking into account
emotions or framing
effects.

“COVID-19 Impacton Economy”
Assume the economy of country A is in a long-run equilibrium with full employment. The nominal wage of workers are fixed in the short run.
a)Draw a graph which shows the short-run aggregate supply, long-run aggregate supply, and aggregate demand. Describe the equilibrium point and show each of the following:
i ) Equilibrium output, labelled Y1
ii) Equilibrium price level, labelled P1.
b)Owing to the outbreak of COVID19, the export market of country A has decreased. On your graph in part a), describe in detailsonthe effect of lower exporton the equilibrium in the short run, labelling the new equilibrium output and price level Y2 and P2, respectively.
c)Based on your result in part b), what is the impact of lower export on real wages in the short run? Explain.
d)Show, with a new graph,how the economy will return to its new equilibrium in the long run if the government does not intervene. Explain.
e)Suppose the government decides to increase expenditure on new equipment.
(i)What component of aggregate demand will change?Explain.
(ii)What is the impact on the long-run aggregate supply? Explain.
Remarks : From part a) to e), should illustrate with diagrams, graphs, tables and graphics to support arguments whenever appropriate
Words should be more than 500 words( total of a to e ) .
Please help !! Thank You .
