➤ Why is an equal split often the natural division within a cartel?
Equal division is natural when firms have identical marginal costs and symmetric bargaining power. It simplifies monitoring, equalizes marginal profits, and reduces perceptions of unfairness that prompt cheating. This fairness and ease of enforcement help sustain collusion, though firms with different costs will generally seek an asymmetric split that maximizes joint profit.

➤ Why might a combination of monetary and fiscal policy be more effective?
A coordinated approach uses monetary easing to keep borrowing costs low while fiscal stimulus delivers targeted support to households, firms, and infrastructure. This split improves multiplier effects and reduces uncertainty. Coordination helps manage inflation expectations, supports credit channels, and speeds recovery, especially after deep recessions or when one tool alone shows limited impact.

➤ How does coefficient selection influence transplant priority and eligibility?

This matters for fairness and clinical appropriateness.
