Two neighbours (agents 1 and 2) share a corner of a public road that is directly in front of the backside entry/exit door of their house. When one of them disposes garbage in that comer, in front of the other neighbour's back door, the other one suffers (as then the backdoor entry/exit gets blocked for the other agent). The city corporation does not have any policy to prohibit such garbage disposals, but all garbage gets cleared every week on Monday night at 2 am. Suppose each agent has the exact same preferences, Ui (b, g) = b + 31/2 , where g is the amount of garbage on that corner, and b represents money value of all other goods. Each of them could have $500 per day, when their back entry/exit is not blocked at all. Each of them are facing the same cost, $150 per day, for hiring someone to collect and move all garbage immediately. Explain the existence of an efcient solution, and if a solution exists, explain the optimal solution with all relevant details and calculation
