In a cooperative, workers collectively invest in the firm, make decisions about production, and share profits equally. Dr. Ellerman believes this is the right solution to private government – make the workplace a democracy by having all workers provide capital and share in the firm's profit. Do you think the strengths outweigh the weaknesses of this idea? Why?

WELFARE ECONOMICS AND PUBLIC CHOICE THEORY- Imagine that Salt Lake City is now considering spending tax revenue to build and operate a public wireless network (there would be no user fee) that extends coverage to the entire city (currently, some public areas like libraries have free Wi-Fi). The cost estimate is about $18 per year per resident.
2) Imagine that Salt Lake City is now considering spending tax revenue to build and operate a public wireless network (there would be no user fee) that extends coverage to the entire city (currently, some public areas like libraries have free Wi-Fi). The cost estimate is about $18 per year per resident. The City Council conducts a survey of 80,000 residents who are likely to vote in the next Council election and determines that they fall into roughly three groups: 10,000 people who say they are willing to pay $25 for the service, 25,000 who say they would pay $18 and 45,000 who have internet access through private providers and say they would pay only $5-$10 annually for the incremental efficiencies to be gained by providing wireless access to mobile workers. a) Explain why, if the precepts of public choice theory hold and there is a referendum on the expenditure, the network will not be built. b) Offer one argument for why a public Wi-Fi network should be built despite the survey results (Hint: think about price determination, voting behavior, externality effects, and the distribution of wealth).
3) Before the imposition of the congestion charge in 2003, approximately 200,000 drivers entered central London each weekday. After the imposition of the $8 charge, the volume of drivers entering central London each weekday fell to 130,000. Other than the congestion charge, transportation economists estimate the daily cost of entering and parking in central London at $20 per day (including gasoline, parking, and congestion wait time). One effect of the reduced traffic volumes has been to reduce average congestion wait times from 10 minutes to 5 minutes, which works out to a savings of about $2 per driver. a) Determine the price for a driver of entering and parking in central London in the aftermath of the congestion charge. b) Estimate the price elasticity of the demand for driving into central London as evidenced by drivers’ behavior, and explain

Assignment #2
Please answer all of the following four questions. This problem set is due February 14th (before class). Note that this problem set is to be answered individually, not by groups, although the solutions can be discussed and analyzed in small groups. The answers must be submitted as a hard copy.
1. Suppose that the foreign exchange market for dollars in a small African country, X, can be represented by the following demand and supply equations:
QD = 15 – 3e
QS = 10 + 2e
where QD represents the quantity demanded of dollars by the private sector in the Country X’s foreign exchange market (measured in millions of dollars), e represents the exchange rate between the local currency, called the tajiri, and the dollar (expressed in tajiris per dollar), and QS denotes the quantity supplied of dollars by the private sector in country X’s foreign exchange market (measured in millions of dollars).
(A) Suppose that Country X and the US are under a system of flexible exchange rates. What would be the equilibrium exchange rate during the period of concern? How many dollars (in millions) would be traded during this period? Provide a numerical answer as well as a diagrammatic answer. Explain your answers.
(B) Suppose now that the government in Country X imposes a fixed exchange rate system, with the exchange rate set at 0.50 tajiris per dollar. Strict controls govern the foreign exchange market, and all transactions (purchases and sales of dollars) occur through the central bank. At the given exchange rate, would the central bank buy or sell dollars from the private sector and what would be the amount of dollars that the central bank of country X would buy from or sell to the private sector in each time period? Given this situation, what would you recommend country X’s central bank do in the future? Should it continue to fix the exchange rate or not? Why? Explain your answers.
2. What do you think are the prospects for the Chinese yuan as an international currency (used by persons, companies and central banks in international transactions) as compared to the U.S. dollar? Do you think the yuan (renminbi) will replace the dollar as an international currency? Why or why not? Please support your answer with any research available on this issue.
3. You are given the following data regarding money supply growth in 2016 for a range of countries. Please find, for the same year, 2016, the rate of inflation of consumer prices. Then, in a graph, plot the money supply growth in the horizontal axis and the inflation rate in the vertical axis. Is the relationship between money supply growth and inflation positive or negative? Why?

Problem Solving Approach-1. Discuss the decision behind American Airlines developing and implementing value pricing to gain more market shares.
Problem Solving Approach
Read “American Airlines,” located in Chapter 24 of the textbook, Managerial Economics: A Problem Solving Approach (SEE BELOW). American Airlines announced a new pricing strategy that they believed would address concerns and benefit the company. Conduct further research on American Airlines’ value pricing. Analyze American Airline’s structure and decision to implement value pricing and discuss the following (750-1,000 words):
Discuss the decision behind American Airlines developing and implementing value pricing to gain more market shares.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric (SEE BELOW). Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
American Airlines
In1992, American Airlines (AA), the market share leader in the airline industry, announced a new pricing strategy—Value Pricing. AA believed Value Pricing would address customer complaints and help reverse operating losses by stimulating demand, increasing market share, and reducing costs. American narrowed the number of possible fares from 500,000 to 70,000 by classifying each into one off our classes (first class, coach, discounted 7 and 21 day purchase) and began pricing based on flight length. These changes resulted in lower list prices for both business and leisure travelers.
According to AA, the purpose of Value Pricing was to create “simplicity, equity, and value” in its prices. By simplifying the pricing structure, AA was stabilizing price fluctuations as well as establishing a price floor. The new sys-tem set firm prices based on restrictions and miles flown and eliminated any corporate discount programs. Most importantly, American believed the new fare structure created through Value Pricing would increase volume on the airplanes (raising load factors). AA believed Value Pricing would drive an increase in overall demand through its effort to stimulate travel and economic activity. American also believed these prices would allow AA to increase its market share.
Question: Is this pricing program likely to be successful?
Answer: AA failed to anticipate its competitors’ reactions to this new pricing plan. Had Robert Crandall, the CEO of AA at the time, understood the lessons of game theory; a devastating industry price war might have been avoided. Instead, AA pushed forward with the plan, competitors responded aggressively, and industry profits plummeted. The Value Pricing initiative was abandoned within months of its launch. Instead, Crandall should have tried a strategy that was less easily mimicked by his rivals.
