Question:

Suppose, as in the text, that the red, blue, and yellow curves in Figure 20.16 represent the next benefits of a pest eradication program for three farmers, Minnie, Joe Average, and Maxine. No one else is affected by the program. The county has established a default policy, X pounds per acre, which it will follow unless a majority of the farmers agree to an alternative. Minnie is the president of the local farmers' association, a position that gives her the authority to make a proposal to the others. The three will then vote on Minnie's proposal. If a majority approves, the county will follow it. If a majority does not approve, the county will follow the default policy. What will Minnie propose, and how much spraying will occur if X< 6? If X is between 6 and 15? If X is greater than 15?
