Question

1. Consider a game between two parties, the university and students. Assume i-v, below:

i. Accidents occur when students are intoxicated; accidents costa = A.

ii. The university can take care to reduce accident costs through restrictions on access to alcohol on campus and alcohol education programs; let the cost of this precaution be Ku, and let Ku < A/4.

iii. Students can also take care to prevent accidents through prudence and temperance; let these costs be Ks and let Ks < A/4.

iv. If either party takes care, then the cost of accidents is reduced by (A/4); if both parties take care, then the cost of accidents is reduced by (A/2).

v. Courts always award perfect compensatory damages, all parties are fully informed and risk neutral and there are no court costs associated with resolving tort claims.

1a. Describe this game in a two-by-two matrix when such cases are governed by a strict liability for universities. What is the predicted outcome and is it efficient?

1b. Describe this game in a two-by-two matrix when such cases are governed by strict liability for universities, but with a defense of contributory negligence. What is the predicted outcome and is it efficient?
