1. Define ‘Arc Elasticity’?
Arc Elasticity: The arc elasticity is a measure of average elasticity, that is the elasticity at the midpoint of the chord that connects the two points (A and B) on the demand curve by the initial and new price levels. The measure of arc elasticity is an approximation of the true elasticity of the section AB of the demand curve. The more convex to the origin the demand curve is the poorer the linear approximation attained by the arc elasticity formula. 2. Explain the law of ‘Diminishing marginal returns’.
The marginal utility refers to the change in satisfaction which results when a little more or little less of that good is consumed. The law of diminshing marginal utility says that with the increase in the consumption of a good there is a decrease in the marginal utility that person derives from consuming each additional unit of that product.
3. What is ‘Prisoner’s Dilemma’, of non cooperative game?
Game theory can be used to model a wide variety of human behavior in small number and large number economic, political, and social settings.
The choice settings in which economists most frequently apply game theory, however, are small number settings in which individual decisions and welfare are interdependent. In such settings, each person's welfare depends, in part, on the decisions of other individuals "in the game."
i. In Cournot duopoly, each firm's profits depend upon its own output decision and that of the other firm in the market. ii. In a setting where pure public goods are consumed, one's own consumption of the public good depends in part on one's own production level of the good, and, in part, on that of all others. For example, after a snow fall, the amount of snow on neighborhood sidewalks depends partly on your own efforts at shoveling and partly that of all others in the neighborhood. iii. Game theoretic treatments are less interesting in cases where there are no interdepencies. For

    This increase in government and social services also encourages the incline of socialism. Though it is a slow and gradual change, as technology advances more regulations and laws are being put forward mainly by government agencies. Leisure and pleasurable services are also provided by the nation and can be viewed as beneficial to all of society. Hayeck even encourages the idea that government can and should support “all kinds of public amenities which may be in the interest of all members of the community to provide by common effort, such as parks and museums, theaters and facilities for sports”(Hayeck). Although he believed “there are strong reasons why they should be provided by local rather than national authorities” he acknowledges the fact that higher intervention is needed to provide services to communities and citizens.This is yet another reason why socialism is rising because as more services for the community are needed and demanded by citizens, more regulation and distribution of income to uphold these facilities is needed by the government. Some may argue that each citizen is capable for providing to their own needs and that humans are “self-governing beings” and should have “the power as much as to commit errors as to set them right as often as made” (Rawls). Those that argue this believe individuals should be…

    Pestoff (2013b) identifies three relationships citizens have with public actors: interdependence, where they rely on each other; supplementary, where non-public agents substitute public actors; and complementary, where non-public agents add value to public service. Every day, citizens carry out activities that could not be carried out by the state, particularly in the areas of policing, health, and education. The benefits of co-production exist in most instances where the state is not directly involved, such as individuals “monitoring their blood sugar, and taking their insulin shots”, or “arranging fund-raising events for their son or daughter’s local elementary school” (Pestoff, 2013b). In general terms, co-production benefits both citizens…

    In fact, this self-interested, free market approach may result in even better outcomes than even utilitarian altruism. Smith argues that “by pursuing [one’s] own interest, [one] frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it” (PPE 164-172). In other words: in the framework of our analogy, the self-interested voter frequently produces better political outcomes than voters with social welfare in…
