The income difference between the lender and any single borrower is represented by the expression 6s - 1. What is the average income difference across all unique pairs of individuals in this model?

  • True or False: In an economic model with one lender and five borrowers, where all borrowers have the same income and the income difference between the lender and any single borrower is 6s - 1, the average income difference for the entire group is correctly calculated by summing the five lender-borrower differences and dividing by 5, since the differences between borrowers are all zero and do not need to be included in the calculation.

  • Derivation of Average Income Difference in a Simple Economic Model

  • In an economic model with one lender and five borrowers, where all borrowers have identical incomes, the income difference between the lender and any borrower is represented by the expression 6s-1. To find the average income difference for the entire group, one must sum all unique pairwise differences and divide by the total number of pairs. Match each component of this calculation with its correct value or expression.

  • In an economic model consisting of one lender and five borrowers, all borrowers have identical incomes. The income difference between the lender and any single borrower is defined by the expression 6s - 1. If the value of s is 2, the average income difference across all 15 unique pairs of individuals in the model is ____. (Express your answer as a fraction)

  • An economic model describes a small community of six individuals: one person with a high income and five people who all share the same, lower income. The income difference between the high-income person and any one of the low-income persons is represented by the value D. Arrange the following steps in the correct logical order to calculate the average income difference for the entire community.

  • Consider an economic model with one lender and five borrowers, where initially all five borrowers have the exact same income. The average income difference for this group is calculated by summing all 15 unique pairwise income differences and dividing by 15. Now, suppose the income of one of the five borrowers increases slightly, while the incomes of the lender and the other four borrowers remain unchanged. How would this change affect the calculated average income difference for the group?
