prepares to negotiate with his manager, Beth. She has been told by her divisional head that no more staff can be

employed unless the new position will make a real difference to the firm’s performance. In their last meeting, her

1. There is a principal and an agent. The agent.s ability (or .type.) is either Low (a=0) or

High (a=10). Only the agent knows his true type. The principal thinks Pr{a=0}=0.5.

Output is either q=0 or q=20. Output is surely q=20 if the agent has high ability.

However, if the agent has low ability, then Pr{q=20 | a=0}=0.8. The agent’s utility

function is U(w) = w^(1/2) and the principal’s profit is q-w: Reservation utilities: 2 for

the agent’s Low type, 4 for his High type, and 0 for the principal.

The principal offers the agent a choice: you can either work for a fixed wage w1 (which

doesn’t depend on output). Or you can choose a high-powered contract which pays w2

if q=20 but you’re paid nothing if q=0. (Of course, the agent is free to reject both

options and take his outside option instead).

What contract will the principal o.er in equilibrium? Derive numerical values for w1

and w2.

2. Joe owns and operates an hot dog stand in Central Park. The hot dog stand is worth

v to Joe. Joe, of course, knows v. Susan doesn’t know v. She thinks that v is equally

likely to be any number between 60 and 100 (i.e., a uniform distribution on [60; 100]).

But Susan knows she would be better at selling hot dogs than Joe (who is kind of

lazy). She thinks that if she buys the hot dog stand, then its value will increase by

20%. Thus, whatever is the true v, if the hot dog stand is worth v to Joe, then it

will be worth (1:2)v to Susan. Susan is now considering making a bid for the hot dog

stand. The bid will be .take-it-or-leave-it., i.e., Joe.s only choice is to either accept

or reject the bid. Let b denote the bid. If the bid is accepted, Susan.s payo. will be

(1:2)v-b and Joe gets b. If the bid is rejected, Susan’s payoff will be 0 and Joe gets

v. Susan doesn’t know the true v, so she has to consider her expected payoff

(a) What is the highest bid Susan can make without expecting to lose on the deal?

(That is, find the highest b such that Susan.s expected payoff. is non-negative.)

(b) What is Susan’s optimal bid? (That is, find the bid b which maximizes Susan’s

expected payoff)

1 Thus,

Most of us assume we know what “science” IS.  After all we live in a sea of it today.  But do we really know what it is in an academic sense?  Click on the following link for some key points about modern science from one of the author’s web pages.http:// that there is a great deal of “pseudoscience” proffered today in advertising and the media.  Pseudoscience has the look and feel of valid science but fails to meet one or more crucial tests for good science.  To find out more click on:http:// in your own words, distill the information from these two websites into a summary explaining how to tell the difference between good science and pseudoscience.  In doing so, use at least two examples from print or other media that you think make good examples of “pseudoscience.”   Be sure to provide in your written answer an explanation for why you believe the two to be examples of pseudoscience (using the principles you’ve seen above).  You may be able to find some useful examples to get you started by going to:http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Lists_of_pseudosciencesAlso, explain in your answer what “greenwash” refers to.  See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GreenwashIMPORTANT: Your assignment should be between 500 and 750 words.

Choose one of the below for your main post. Respond to at least one student who answered a different question from you. The answers should come from your textbook, the book of primary source documents, the assigned website, the lecture, videos, and the research you conducted in the APUS Library. Respond as many times as you wish. Your two best responses will be graded.

1. What did the New Deal do for Blacks? Even though there were no significant gains made in civil rights during the 1930s, there seemed to be an optimistic view among the black community. African-Americans were able to find help in the 1930s through the hope they viewed in the Roosevelt administration, their inclusion within the CIO, and the Popular Front. What did each of these offer the African-American community? The black press said that the National Recovery Administration (NRA) actually stood for “Negro Run Around” or “Negroes Ruined Again.” Why did they write this? What examples can you find that support or refute these slogans?

2. How did James Baldwin compare the African-American experience to the Algerian experience in France? Why did Baldwin go to France?

3. Historians recognize the importance of model figures. In the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s which African Americans were model figures to African Americans? How did they influence white Americans to see African Americans differently?
