You should consider the case of a small to medium enterprise (SME) which may employ up to 200 people. There are different sections in the enterprise, such as accounting, sales, purchases, marketing, human resources, and general administration. The enterprise has a web site with general information about the company, e-commerce functions, to enable online orders to be placed and deposits to be taken, customer relationship management, including form-to-email facilities, and an online job quoting system. These applications and other enterprise software packages are available on the company’s intranet, which stores its (confidential) corporate data. All employees have a company email address, a personal login for access to the company’s intranet. There is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy implemented. The enterprise uses a cloud archiving service for all its corporate data.

Q.1) Consider a government that contemplates extending the mandatory school system from nine years to ten years in primary school. You are now asked to give recommendation about the implementation and are thinking about estimating the model:

?_i = ?₀ + ?₁ ?cℎ_i + ?_i,

where ?_i is the outcome (e.g. wage) of individual i, and ?cℎ_i is the years in school of the same individual. ?_i is an error term.

a) Describe in words why estimating this model can give rise to omitted variable bias.

b) Explain the research design that Meghir and Palme (2005) use in their paper to estimate ?₁

(DSR Chp 10, U6) Consider a small town that has a population of dedicated pizza eaters but is able to accommodate only two pizza shops, Donna’s Deep Dish and Pierce’s Pizza Pies. Each seller has to choose a price for its pizza to maximize profits. Suppose further that it costs $3 to make each pizza (for each store) and that experience or market surveys have shown that the relation between sales (Q) and price (P ) for each firm is as follows:

QP =12−PP +0.5PD.

Then profits per week (Y , in thousands of dollars) for each firm are:

YP = (PP −3)QP = (PP −3)(12−PP +0.5PD),

YD = (PD −3)QD = (PD −3)(12−PD +0.5PP).

(a) Use these profit functions to determine each firm’s best-reply rule and use the best-reply rules to find the Nash equilibrium of this pricing game. What prices do the firms choose in equilibrium? How much profit per week does each firm earn?

(b) If the firms work together and choose a joint best price, P, then the profit of each will be: YD = YP = (P −3)(12−P +0.5P) = (P −3)(12−0.5P). What price do they choose to maximize joint profits?

(c) Suppose the two stores are in a repeated relationship,trying to sustain the jointprofit-maximizing prices calculated in part (b). They print new menus each month and thereby commit themselves to prices for the whole month. In any one month, one of them can defect from the agreement. If one of them holds the price at the agreed level, what is the best defecting price for the other? What are its resulting profits? For what interest rates will their collusion be sustainable by using grim-trigger strategies?

Q.1)) Many countries impose payroll taxes on employers and employees to fund the social security system. a) Assume that a country wants to impose a payroll tax of 1$ on employers for every employee-hour hired. What is the effect on both wages and employment in competitive labor markets? Both explain in your own words and illustrate your reasoning graphically. Clearly mark all the important points in your graph.

b) Would it be better to tax workers instead? Why or why not? What determines how much of the payroll tax is shifted to the workers? Only give a short explanation here, a graph is not needed.

San Jose Mercury News, March 31, 2020: “As classes go online, students want Stanford to lower tuition”: “Thousands of Stanford students are asking for a discount in tuition for this quarter --- up to 80% --- as, (as one student leader stated): “the online education will affect our EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE – (the caps are mine) – interacting with faculty and peers … (is)… a more ESSENTIAL PART of our time spent at Stanford” …. Online education “makes us UNABLE TO ENJOY AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE QUALIFIED FOR THE $10,000 (tuition only) that we spent for this Spring quarter”…. “if the experience is not IMMERSIVE, then IT IS NOT FULL AND DOES NOT DESERVE THE PRICE TAG”……. QUESTIONS!

A. Should students be given a discount on tuition this quarter (or semester) owing to classes going online? (you did not SIGN UP for this, right???) Why or why not? At Stanford? At EVC? Is there a difference?

B. Is your answer any different for GRADUATE students in law and medicine? Why or why not? C. Stanford has offered to let students take a quarter off, thus delaying… THE REST OF THEIR LIVES…..in your opinion, why may this solution be… ‘less than optimal’? D. Is it relevant that Stanford is sitting on MANY TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ENDOWMENTS, --- one of the highest in the nation -- and could EASILY AFFORD to give their students a discount of 80% for one quarter?

E. WHAT SHOULD STANFORD DO? Offer an 80% discount? 100%? 50 %? 30%? No discount at all? Should it vary depending on the INCOME of the student and her family---- (just like the tuition itself, and room and board expenses)?

F. May we agree that students who were living in the dorms should be reimbursed for their HOUSING costs, given that they were KICKED OUT (evicted)? What about students who had been renting apartments from landlords in and around Palo Alto? Should they be treated differently? Why or why not? (Many landlords will suffer a huge drop in income in 2020) G. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING OBSTACLE, IN TERMS OF TAKING AND COMPLETING YOUR CLASSES ONLINE, SINCE MARCH 10, 2020? IN YOUR OPINION, HOW HAS THE QUALITY OF YOUR EDUCATION CHANGED?

H. IS THIS ISSUE IN YOUR ‘TOP TEN’ LIST OF PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW, IN YOUR OPINION? Top 5? Top 3? WHY OR WHY NOT?

Phase 2: From June 2018 - December 2018

Phase 3: From January 2019 - February 2020

Please use the economics knowledge you have learned so far to analyze the case below. You can propose your own questions and then answer them. Remember, there is no absolutely correct answer to this exercise. Its purpose is to provide you an opportunity to demonstrate your ability to think like an economist by applying economic principles to interpret the logic of a real-world phenomenon. Why Is JPMorgan Chase Laying Off Workers? Many workers lost their jobs during the 2007–2009 recession and the banking industry was hit especially hard. JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States, saw its profit decline by two-thirds from 2007 to 2009. By 2015, the U.S. economy and JPMorgan were well into a recovery, but banks were still struggling for three key reasons: Interest rates remained at low levels, increased regulation caused some banks to stop certain activities—such as making student loans—and technological change resulted in more activity taking place online. In May 2015, JPMorgan announced it would lay off 5,000 workers. Three other banks—Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo—also laid off workers for similar reasons.

Tom Wilson is the operations manager for BiCorp, a real estate investment firm.  Tom must decide if BiCorp is to invest in a strip mall in a northeast metropolitan area.  If the shopping center is highly successful, after tax profits will be $100,000 per year.  Moderate success would yield an annual profit of $50,000, while the project will lose $10,000 per year if it is unsuccessful.  Past experience suggests that there is a 40% chance that the project will be highly successful, a 40% chance of moderate success, and a 20% probability that the project will be unsuccessful.
The project requires an $800,000 investment.  If BiCorp has an 8% opportunity cost on invested funds of similar riskiness, should the project be undertaken?
