Week 1 Assignment: Essay – Benefiting the Public Good

Question 1

Classical fifinance does not rule out the presence of noise traders. Yet it argues that the

Effiffifficient Markets Hypothesis continues to hold. Explain. That is, how can there be noise

traders in markets but markets still produce asset prices that incorporate and reflflect all

available information?

Question 2

Consider the following model of a stock market. There are two groups of traders: ratio

nal traders and optimists. There are N rational traders and each has a demand for the

stock of 100 P. Suppose that there are 100 shares of the stock outstanding. There are M

optimists and each has a demand of 100 + δ P.

a) What is the price of the stock as a function of parameters N, M and δ?

b) Suppose N = M = 50 and δ = 20, are the rational traders long or short and by how

much?

c) Suppose N = M = 50, δ = 20, and there are 100 shares outstanding, again. Also,

suppose the rational traders cannot short at all for institutional reasons. For example,

they might work for mutual funds: most mutual funds do not allow shorting. Calculate

the equilibrium price and the positions of the rational traders and the optimists in this

scenario.

Question 3

Consider a market where there are N rational traders. All of these traders have CARA

preferences with risk aversion parameter γ = .5. They are considering a stock that will pay

a terminal dividend in the next period. The expected payoffff of the dividend is $100 per

share with a standard deviation of $10. Assume that the discount rate is zero. That is,

don’t worry about discounting future payoffffs.

a) If there are 10 shares of the stock available, what is the price of the stock as a function

of N?

b) Does the price increase or decrease as N increases? Explain the intuition of this result.

c) If N = 10, what is the price of the stock? How does the price change if γ increases to

.6? Explain the intuition for why the price moves this direction when γ increases.

In this exercise, you will use software at various online travel sites to arrange transportation and lodging for a large sales force to attend a sales conference at two alternative locations. You will use that information to calculate total travel and lodging costs and to decide where to hold the conference.

The Foremost Composite Materials Company is planning a two-day sales conference for January 15 and 16, starting with a reception on the evening of January 14. The conference consists of all-day meetings that the entire sales force, numbering 125 sales representatives and their 16 managers, must attend. Each sales representative requires his or her own room, and the company needs two common meeting rooms – one large enough to hold the entire sales force plus a few visitors (200) and the other able to hold half the force.

Management has set a budget of $125,000 for the representatives’ room rentals. The hotel must also have such services as overhead and computer projectors as well as business center and banquet facilities. It also should have facilities for the company reps to be able to work in their rooms and to enjoy themselves in a swimming pool or gym facility. The company would like to hold the conference either in Miami or Marco Island, Florida.

Foremost Materials usually likes to hold such meetings in Hilton- or Marriott-owned hotels. Use the Hilton and Marriott websites to select a hotel in whichever of these cities would enable the company to hold its sales conference within its budget.

Link to the Hilton and Marriott home pages and search them to find a hotel that meets Foremost Materials sales conference requirements. Once you have selected the hotel, locate flights arriving the afternoon prior to the conference because the attendees will need to check in the day before and attend the reception the evening prior to the conference. Your attendees will be coming from Los Angeles (54), San Francisco (32), Seattle (22), Chicago (19), and Pittsburgh (14).

Determine the costs of each airline ticket from these cities. When you are finished, create a budget for the conference. The budget will include the cost of each airline ticket, the room cost, and $60 per attendee per day for food.

Case 1 (1 point): Suppose that you were hired by Albertsons to study consumers´ sensitivities to Pepsi-Cola and Coke, in Irvine. In particular, Albertsons would like to know whether its national advertisement expenditure level of Coke and the price of the 16 oz 24 can case Pepsi Cola have significant impact on the demand of the 16 oz 24 can case Coke. However, Albertsons is not sure whether the two soft drinks are really substitute goods. Albertsons has provided you with the information below to examine the relevant elasticities of Pepsi-Cola and Coke and to investigate whether the two products are indeed substitutes. Develop an econometric model and estimate such a model to determine all the elasticities necessary to discuss the case. Make sure you apply all the approaches explained in lecture class to investigate whether two products are substitutes and should be part of the same relevant market. Once you have all your results, provide advice to Albertsons. Make sure you comment your results using economic concepts

Table 1: Price Schedule (in US$) of 16 oz 24 can case of Coke and Pepsi-Cola

Table 2: 20 weeks of data with information on Coke’s advertisement expenditure (in million dollars), the price of Pepsi Cola (in dollars), the price of Coke (in dollars) and quantity sold of Coke (in cases).

Directions:

Go back to the file you just submitted for Essay 2. Look at your Introduction: Revise it to follow these guidelines.

Introductory paragraphs should accomplish two tasks: 1. They should get the reader’s interest so that he or she will want to read more. 2. They should let the reader know what the writing is going to be about.

Task 1:

• To grab the reader’s attention, you need to start with a hook, or an attention grabber. The hook can be a question, a jarring statistic, a quote from someone famous on the subject, or a short, personal anecdote.
• Once you have hooked the reader, you want to provide the reader with background information on the topic at hand. Imagine that the reader has NOT read the articles you have read and does not know much about the topic, so explain the issue to the reader.

Task 2:

• The last part of the introduction is the thesis. The thesis should be the LAST sentence of the introduction, and it should be an opinion or what we can the claim of the essay. It tells the reader what your essay will be about and what your opinion on the topic is. So thesis is oftentopic+your opinion on the topic.
• Your thesis should not be simply a fact, and it should directly answer the question I have asked in the prompt.
• Even though the thesis is your opinion, it should not include statements like “I think/believe” or “In my opinion.” Also, your thesis should not include statements such as “This paper will…”
• A thesis os your stance on the topic—a one or two sentence statement of opinion, or something that you will explore, prove, expand upon, develop and provide a through discussion of in your essay. Remember, a thesis must be arguable.

To complete this assignment, follow the steps below.

Step 1:

Copy and paste your introduction from Project 2’s timed writing in a new document. Then,

• In yellow, highlight the hook
• In blue, highlight the background information
• In pink, highlight the thesis
  

  • Don’t worry if you don’t have the three parts yet. That is why you are revising. If you cannot find what to highlight, it means you are missing that part and need to write one.

Step 2:

Start thinking about how you can make your introduction better. If you are missing any of the three parts above, add it! If you already have all three parts, look at each part individually and see how you can make it better. Do so by answering the following questions:

1. What kind of hook did I use (a question, a short story, a statistic)? Is my hook interesting? Does it grab the reader’s attention and make him or her want to read more? What can I do to grab the reader’s attention even better?
2. Do I have sufficient background information? If the reader did NOT read the articles I read, would he or she know what the issue is about? What else can I add to the background information to make my reader understand my topic better?
3. Is my thesis an opinion of my own? Is it free of “I believe/I think/In my opinion” statements? Does it name the topic and your opinion on it? Does it clearly and directly respond to the question my teacher asked in the prompt?

Step 3:

Based on the questions above and your answers to them, rewrite your introduction, making sure that there is an engaging hook, clear and detailed background information and a strong thesis.

**Please mark each step (Step 1, 2 and 3) on your document before submitting.
