ARod/Kerry Wood in my Econ Problem Set
[ QUOTE ]
In a World Series game, Kerry Wood is pitching and Alex Rodriguez is batting. The count on Rodriguez is 3 balls and 2 strikes. Woods has to decide whether to throw a fastball or a curve ball. Rodriguez has to decide whether to swing or not swing. [/ QUOTE ] The problem goes on to include payoff-matrices and what-not, but I thought SE could have fun with this problem. The prof. is somewhat into baseball(used Barry to illustrate monopoly/monopsony) so I'm going to go ahead and do this problem normally, and then include the best SE response as well. Sporting Events GOGOGOGOGOGOOOOO. |

I hope there's more information than that, men on, outs, inning, score, etc.

You should just put that the payoff is the value of a strikeout because it's Arod in the playoffs.

Re: ARod/Kerry Wood in my Econ Problem Set
which kerry wood is pitching: pre-op or post-op? he looks completely different, as if he was on roids before.
also, but since wood used to be a power-pitcher, his curveball must have sucked. |
