Puzzles: Cider in Your Ear, Continuing Dilemma, The Last Shall Be First, and More
提供一系列经济学谜题,旨在激发研究、辅助教学,并在研讨会中提供有趣的思维挑战,本期聚焦于赌博和投票,包含囚徒困境问题。
In presenting economic puzzles, I have three goals in mind: some puzzles are chosen to stimulate research; others offer examples that will help undergraduate and graduate teaching; all should provide quality distractions during seminars. As usual, this feature begins with several speed puzzles; answers can be found at the end of the problems. Following are several longer puzzles, for which readers are challenged to submit their own answers. The puzzles in this issue focus on betting and voting, and once again include a prisoners' dilemma problem. The column ends with reader mail, including the submitted solutions to “The Best Location in Manhattan,” Puzzle 4 in the Summer 1987 issue of this journal.
