Corruption is widespread in many less developed countries. The U.S. anti-corruption laws sanction the U.S. multinational from bribing foreign entities. (The Foreign Corrupt Practice Act of 1977, amended 1988, and the International Anti-Bribery Act of 1998.) Do the anti-corruption laws handicap American firms in their ability to compete against multinationals from elsewhere?

  1. Ryan likes to read and watch premium CSPAN. His utility for a given month is represented by U(x1,x2) = x1,x2, where x1 equals the number of books he reads and x2 is the number of hours of CSPAN he watches. He has a budget of $160 per month for entertainment expenses, and these are the only two entertainment activities he spends his money on. Reading is $8 per book and each CSPAN rental costs him $16.
    1. Graph Ryan’s budget constraint.
    2. In June, Ryan read 12 books and rented 4 CSPANs. Would his utility increased, decreased, or remained the same if he bowled 8 books and watched 6 CSPANs in July?
    3. Did Ryan behave rationally in June? Why or why not?
