Suppose that demand for good X is given by:QD = 20 ?P, while supply is given by: QS = 2P?4.a) Solve for the equilibrium price (P*) and quantity (Q*)b) Suppose the government sets a price ceiling of $6. What is the shortage that resultsfrom this price ceiling?c) Now suppose that, instead of a price ceiling, the government charges an excise tax of $3per unit. Solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity after this tax is imposed, and the amount of revenue raised by the government.

Details:

Empirical research is the foundation to scholarly research and scholarly writing. An empirical article is defined as one that presents original research conducted or personally observed by the author(s). The articles you select will include the following elements: a description of the study, an introduction, a research question, an explanation of the study's methodology, a presentation of the results of the study, and a conclusion that discusses the results and suggests topics for further study. This assignment will help you locate and identify empirical research studies.

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment: Locate your completed Comparison Matrix from Module 3. This assignment uses a grading rubric. Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. All claims should be supported with current research. You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center. Only Word documents can be submitted to Turnitin.

Use the information from the completed Comparison Matrix to write a paper of 750-1,000 words that compares the two empirical articles. The paper will include the following sections: Comparison of the introductions. Comparison of the purposes of each study. Comparison of the research questions. Comparison of the literature reviews. Comparison of the sample populations. Comparison of the study limitations. Comparison of the results and conclusions from the studies Comparison of topics suggested for future study.

(Direct argument for Nash equilibria of War of Attrition) Give a direct argument, not using information about the entire best response functions, for the set of Nash equilibria of the War of Attrition. (Argue that if t1 = t2, 0

ti j, or 0 = ti j i (for i = 1 and j = 2, or i = 2 and j = 1) then the pair (t1, t2) is not a Nash equilibrium. Then argue that any remaining pair is a Nash equilibrium.) Three features of the equilibria are notable. First, in no equilibrium is there any fight: one player always concedes immediately. Second, either player may concede first, regardless of the players’ valuations. In particular, there are always equilibria in which the player who values the object more highly concedes first. Third, the equilibria are asymmetric (the players’ actions are different), even when v1 = v2, in which case the game is symmetric—the players’ sets of actions are the same and player 1’s payoff to (t1, t2) is the same as player 2’s payoff to (t2, t1) (Definition 49.3). Given this asymmetry, the populations from which the two players are drawn must be distinct in order to interpret the Nash equilibria as action profiles compatible with steady states. One player might be the current owner of the object in dispute, and the other a challenger, for example. In this case the equilibria correspond to the two conventions that a challenger always gives up immediately, and that an owner always does so. (Some evidence is discussed in the box on page 379.) If all players—those in the role of player 1 as well as those in the role of player 2—are drawn from a single population, then only symmetric equilibria are relevant (see Section 2.10). The War of Attrition has no such equilibria, so the notion of Nash equilibrium makes no prediction about the outcome in such a situation.
