You have just purchased a new home and planted some rosebushes in the front yard. Your neighbor, Jack, claims that they are on his property. You try to discuss the situation calmly, but Jack threatens to destroy the bushes and the two of you begin shouting loudly at one another. The police are called and warn you both to calm down or be arrested for disturbing the peace. That evening, your security camera records Jack pulling the rosebushes out of the ground. You go to the police and file a complaint for larceny with regard to the cost of the roses.Explain what is likely to happen to Jack by outlining the stages from arrest to the possible disposition of the case, using either the crime control or the due process model. Assume this is Jack’s first offense and that he fully admits to taking the roses.

This is a question about using the iterated elimination of dominated strategies, but you don’t have to do the full procedure or find the Nash equilibrium. If you were using the iterated elimination of dominated strategies, what would be the first step? (Or in other words, what would be the first strategy that you could eliminate?) There may be more than one correct answer. Just give one.

(Allais’s paradox) What do we find when we do these calculations? (1) the difference between EU(lottery a) and EU(lottery b) (2) the difference between EU(lottery c) and EU(lottery d)

Find the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium for this game. Show your calculations.

Rita has the option of going to Paris or Madrid during spring break. She would prefer to go to Paris over Madrid, but wherever she goes she is hoping that the weather will be pleasant so that she can enjoy the city she is visiting. Therefore, her first preference is to go to Paris when the weather is nice; her second most preferred outcome is going to Madrid when the weather is nice; and her least preferred outcome is to be in Madrid when the weather is bad. You check the weather and see that there is a 40 percent chance that the weather will be nice in Paris during the week when her trip is planned, and a 60 percent chance that the weather will be bad. Meanwhile, for Madrid there is a 75 percent chance that the weather will be nice and a 25 percent chance that it will be bad during the week when her trip is planned. You also know that if Rita were offered the choice, she would be indifferent between going to Madrid when the weather is nice (with certainty) and a lottery in which she has an 84 percent chance of getting Paris when the weather is nice; and a 16 percent chance of getting Madrid when the weather is bad.  Rita is also indifferent between (1) going to Paris when the weather is bad (getting this with certainty) and (2) the same lottery but with a 50 percent of getting Paris when the weather is nice; and a 50 percent chance of getting Madrid when the weather is bad. Knowing all of this information, what decision should Rita make if she is following the expected utility strategy? List the outcomes from most preferred to least preferred (for Rita). Show all of the calculations for the expected utility strategy.
