Clearly label the world interest rate as well as the trade balance on your graph. Using your graph, discuss what will be the effect on the US trade balance and the world interest rate of: i. A reduction in US government spending. ii. A. decrease in US investment opportunities. This is modelled as a reduction in the intercept of the desired investment function. iii. An increase in US productivity today. iv. A decrease in US consumption. Based on your analysis, briey discuss why economists do not believe that trade decits are necessarily a sign of an unhealthy economy. d} Due way to reduce the trade decit is to introduce protectionist trade measures, such as tariffs, quotas or restrictions. In the most extreme case, the US economy could be closed to trade, NXUS = . Using our model, what would the effect of this extreme protectionist policy be on consumption, investment, savings and output? Q1 Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium You are considering a leveraged buyout of Corporation X. The stock of X is worth either a low (1.) value, 51 = $3/share, or a high (H) value, Sy = $5/share. The owner of the company (the seller) knows what the company is worth, and decides whether to put up the company for sale at a high (H) price per share Py = $4/share or at a low (L.) price per share P, = $2.5/share for 20 thousand shares outstanding. All you know is that the probability that the company is worth 5, = $5/share is p(H) = 60% It costs management $40,000 to cook the books if it has to make the company look better that it really is. If the company does not trade hands, the seller and the buyer get nothing from the exchange. Let t denote whether the company is of high or low value. Nature chooses the company's type, that H when S, = $5 share 53 L when S, = share The seller has to choose whether to sell the company at a high or low price, P given by $4 PH = share P . $2.5 share The buyer's strategy of whether to buy or not the company is given by b = [1 if buyer buys company 10 if buyer does NOT buy company The seller's payoff depends on whether the company is of high or low value, on the seller's sale price strategy and on the buyer's buying strategy, and on whether or not the seller cooks the books. The seller's payoff is then given by ITS (t, P. b) The buyer's payoff also depends on these strategies HA (t, PA.b) (a) Under what circumstances does the seller cook the books? (b) Calculate the seller's payoff under all possible circumstances the seller might face. For each one of the seller's payoffs specify and explain all the conditions leading to that payoff. For example, when Nature makes the company high value (t = H), the seller charges a high price (Py = 4) and the buyer bays the company (b = 1), the seller's payoff is given by my(t = H, Py = 4, b = 1). (Hint you must find eight different payoffs for the seller). (c) What is the value of the company to the buyer under the high (Vg ) and the low (Vy ) state of nature
