Suppose that wages in Miami among the immigrant population are $20,000 a year and everywhere else outside the United States they are $10,000. Suppose the cost of migrating to Miami is proportional to how far someone must travel.   The cost of migrating is M=$36,000+ 20m, where m is the number of miles an immigrant’s origin country is from Miami. Please use this information to answer the following questions.

1. If Colombia is 1,500 miles from Miami, what is the maximum subjective discount factor that a Colombian migrant would have and still choose to immigrate to Miami?

2. If Cuba is 200 miles from Miami, what is the maximum subjective discount factor that a Cuban migrant could have and still choose to immigrate to Miami?

3. Based on the prior two questions should we see more migrants from Cuba or Colombia come to Miami?

Select one:

a. Cuba

b. Columbia

Question 2: By explaining law of demand and law of supply show how prices of goods and services are determined in all types of market? What are those forces that move a market towards equilibrium? Why it is not advisable for any government of rely on price floor and price ceiling? Chapters 4 & 6 (The Market Forces of Supply and Demand & Supply, Demand, and Government Policies)

The Supreme Court ruled that Eastman Kodak Company must stand trial in an antitrust suit that has important implications for the ability of manufacturers to control the markets for the parts and servicing of the products they make. Independent servicing companies that sell replacement parts and service for Kodak's line of sophisticated business machines contend that Kodak was trying to force them out of business by restricting their access to replacement parts and by trying to insure that customers for its business machines either service the machines themselves or buy service directly from Kodak. The service companies' lawsuit accused Kodak of two violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act: unlawfully tying the sales of service for Kodak machines to the sale of parts, and unlawfully trying to monopolize the market for service. Kodak controls nearly the entire market for its replacement parts -- which are not interchangeable with the parts for other manufacturers' machines -- and between 80 and 95-percent of the service market. But it has only about a 20-percent share of the overall market for the machines at issue in the case: high volume copiers and equipment used for microfilm and microfiche. There is significant competition in that market with Kodak having a smaller market share than IBM and Xerox. Kodak contended that it could not be found to be exercising monopoly power in the parts and service market in the absence of market power in sales and basic equipment. It asked the Court to adopt a rule that a parts and service business cannot be considered a monopoly as long as there is competition in the sales and manufacture of the machines. Kodak also asked the Court to rule that the market for a single brand of a product or service -- such as its own replacement parts -- can never be a "market" for assessing monopoly behavior under the Sherman Act. The company said its power in the parts market should be judged not by the fact that it controlled nearly 100-percent of the market for its own parts, but by the much smaller portion it controlled of the market for parts of all the competing machines. (New York Times, June 9, 1992, p. C1)

(a) Carefully explain in what "market" Kodak has a monopoly given that it does not have a significant share of the primary market in which it sells its basic equipment. If Kodak required purchasers of its equipment to agree to purchase Kodak servicing at the time the equipment was purchased, how would your monopoly argument be affected? Note that Kodak charges more for servicing than the independent servicing companies.

(b) Assuming that the basic equipment market is competitive, explain under what conditions Kodak's restrictive policy with respect to exclusive servicing would not be a monopolizing restraint. That is, would competition in the servicing of a durable producer good imply a jointly nonoptimal outcome for the buyer and manufacturer of the durable good?

3. It has been said that Southeast Asian countries like China, Singapore, and Taiwan, have been better able to address the COVID-19 pandemic than other countries because of their experience with SARS. Does this make sense if humans behaved like homo economicus? What biases have we studied that might explain why that experience may actually have helped those countries address COVID-19?
