Suppose A and B are partners in a firm but each partner receives a disutility for exerting some effort: aka the utility of partner i ∈ {A,B}, if the effort levels of A and B are e1 and e2 respectively, is ui(e1,e2) = 6 log (1+e1+e2) - ei
1) For any effort that B could be exerting, determine the effort level A would exert to maximize their own utility. Repeat again to determine the effort level for partner B to maximize their own utility.
2) What effort level e* is e1=e2=e* a nash equilibrium?
3) If the two partners could write some binding contract about the level of effort e** they would choose, what effort level e** will they end up choosing?

Suppose firm j’s output is given by yj = n 1−α j , where 0 < α < 1 (α is a parameter). Suppose the firm must pay a fixed cost b < α if it wants to operate. That is, the firm’s profits are given by π (nj ) = 0 , if nj = 0 and π (nj ) = n 1−α j − wnj − b , if nj > 0 where w is the wage. (a)...

Please read the article and answer about questions. You and the Law Business and law are inseparable. For B-Money, the two predictably merged when he was negotiat- ing a deal for his tracks. At other times, the merger is unpredictable, like when your business faces an unexpected auto accident, product recall, or government regulation change. In either type of situation, when business owners know the law, they can better protect themselves and sometimes even avoid the problems completely. This chapter...

Q: Compare the assumptions of physician-centered and
collaborative communication. How is the caregiver’s role different
in each model? How is the patient’s role different?
Answer: Physical-centered communication involves the specialists
taking control of the conversation. They decide on the topics of
discussion and when to end the process. The patient responds to the
issues raised by the caregiver and acts accordingly. On the other
hand, Collaborative communication involves a...
