A linear industry demand function of the firm’s product was estimated using regression analysis. The results of this estimation are as follows: Q = a + bX where X is product’s own price. The team will use the results of the model only at confidence level = 90.00 %.

1. What do the parameter estimates mean as given in output table in terms of their value and sign?
2. What is the interpretation of R² value given in output table?
3. Why don’t you see multiple R² in this table?
4. What is the meaning of standard error of X here?
5. How is the t-statistic for X used ?

If we accept the argument that the use of addictive drugs tends to lead to an increase in other types of crime because users of such drugs tend to commit other crimes in order to fund their drug habit,Explain, using the concept of elasticity of demand and a well labelled diagram, why a policy of prohibiting the sale of such drugs is not likely to reduce crime committed by drug addicts.

If we accept the argument that the use of addictive drugs tends to lead to an increase in other types of crime because users of such drugs tend to commit other crimes in order to fund their drug habit,Explain, using the concept of elasticity of demand and a well labelled diagram, why a policy emphasizing education about the dangers of drugs, and treatment of addicts is more likely to succeed in reducing crime committed by addicts and other illicit drug users.

1. In a Bertrand model with identical firms and a non-differentiated product, price will increase in response to:

a-) an increase in the number of firms.

b-) a decrease in the number of firms.

c-) an increase in marginal cost.

d-) a decrease in marginal cost.

2. Which of the following is not a feature of the Cournot model?

a Group of answer choices

b In a Cournot equilibrium, neither firm can change its production and make more profit.

c In a Cournot equilibrium the firms are working together to make the most profit possible.

d As the number of firms in the market increases the Cournot equilibrium price approaches the perfectly competitive price.

e If the number of the firms in the market decreases to one, the Cournot equi- librium price is just monopoly price.

f more than one of the above is incorrect

3. Assuming a homogeneous product, the Bertrand equilibrium price is

a independent of the number of firms

b independent of the firm's marginal costs

c equal to the Cournot equilibrium price

d equal to the monopoly price
