The City of Milwaukee has instituted a new "game" by which it hopes to incentivize motorists from speeding on the expressway. There will be a lottery, and all motorists that are not caught speeding will be given a single, free entry, and can win thousands. However, if caught (by cop or camera), a motorist will become ineligible for the lottery and will have to pay a hefty fine. All fines go to pay for the lottery winnings. Knowing what you do about incentives, do you think the lottery will reduce speeding violations? What might be an unintended consequence of this idea?

The Ohio Attorney General’s Office and the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department in the summer of 1993 sent letters to 3,000 fugitives, at the addresses indicated on their outstanding court orders, saying that each was the winner of a prize of $1,400.00. All
were told to make appointments to pick up their checks at the State Office Building.
Upon being put in handcuffs when they went to pick up their checks, some people found it hard to comprehend that the government would deceive them. In fact, the Federal Marshals Service in Washington has caught thousands of fugitives and criminals in similar sting operations since the early 1980’s.

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IN THE SITUATIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS, OR IS IT MORE IMPORTANT FOR CITIZENS TO HAVE FAITH IN THEIR GOVERNMENT SO THAT WHEN A REPRESENTANTIVE OF THE GOVERNMENT MAKES A STATEMENT, WE CAN HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE THAT IT IS THE TRUTH?

6. (1 point) Tara lives in an economy where all adults either either work or go to university Those without a university education earn a salary of $40,000 per year. Those with a university education earn a salary of $65,000. University education lasts 3 years. Tuition is $30,000 per year, and Tara has access to interest-free student loans.

(1 point) What, if anything, do you expect to happen to the num- ber of men who report having same-sex sexual orientation (or report being in a same-sex relationship or report having same-sex sexual desires) when HIV/AIDS becomes more preva- lent? What, if anything, do you expect to happen to the number of women who report having same-sex sexual orientation or report being in a same-sex relationship or report having same-sex sexual desires) when HIV/AIDS becomes more prevalent? Answer to these questions as an economist. Focus on explaining how and why changes in sexual behavior in response to HIV/AIDS becoming more prevalent might be different for men vs. women. Explanation should be 1-3 sentences. Bonus Question 2. (1 point) Following the murder-kidnapping of 12-year old Polly Klaas in 1993, California and a number of other states in the U.S. have passed so called three- strikes-laws. A three-strikes-law mandates that a person who commits a third criminal act to be jailed for the rest of his/her life without the possibility of parole. Importantly, these three-strikes-laws do not distinguish between more dangerous criminal acts such as murders and bank robberies and less dangerous crimes such as a smoking pot and shoplifting. Instead, anyone who is convicted of three criminal acts in total is to be jailed for the rest of his/her life following the third conviction. The intended effect of implementing such three-strikes-laws was to increase the penalties for crimes of any type in order to deter criminals from committing crimes. However, evidence suggests that the implementation of three-strikes-laws has increased the number of dangerous criminal acts (murders, bank robberies, etc) that have been committed. Why have the three-strikes-laws possibly led to an increase in the number of dangerous criminal acts? Explain (in 1-2 sentences).
