How and why do people issue their own money, and how do they come to be used in an economy?
Why don’t governments like private issues of money, or even foreign currency, being used in their countries, and try to monopolise the issue of domestic money?

600,000 students in 79 countries take a PISA test every three years to evaluate their learning in reading, math, and science. Students in the Beijing-Shanghai-Jiangsu-Zhejiang regions in China scored the highest average scores in all three subjects in 2018. Canada ranked around 12th overall but has had steadily declining scores in math and science. We have data on average math scores and characteristics of 500 school districts across Canada. This problem asks you to build up a regression model to look for factors that affect average math test scores in various school districts in Canada.
I run a basic regression equation that explains math scores
(SCORE) as a function of:
1. STR = the student teacher ratio. (number of
students per teacher)
2. SPEND = government spending per student in the
school district in dollars per student.
3. HIESL= a dummy variable=1 if the percentage of
students learning English as a new language is above 20% and =0 if
it is below 20%.
The regression also includes the usual constant term.
There is a categorical variable called PROVINCE for the province of the school district. This variable =1 for Ontario, =2 for Quebec, =3 for Alberta, and =4 for British Columbia.
There is also a categorical variable called INCOME which is the average per capita income of households in the school district. INCOME = 1 if the district has average per capital income below $40000, =2 if the district has per capita income between $40000 and $60000, =3 if the district has per capita income >= $60000.
How do I add PROVINCE and INCOME into my regression model? Which
specification is correct?
SCORE = b2STR + b3SPEND + b4HIESL + b5ON + b6QC + b7BC + b8AB + b9INC1 + b10INC2 + b11INC3
where
ON = 1 if the district is in Ontario and 0 otherwise
QC = 1 if the district is in Quebec and 0 otherwise
BC = 1 if the district is in BC and 0 otherwise
AB = 1 if the district is in Alberta and 0 otherwise
INC1 = 1 if the district is the low income range and 0
otherwise
INC2 = 1 if the district is the middle income range and 0
otherwise
INC3 = 1 if the district is the high income range and 0
otherwise
SCORE = b1 +b2STR + b3SPEND + b4HIESL + b5PROVINCE + b6INCOME
where PROVINCE takes values 1 to 4
and INCOME takes values 1 to 3.
SCORE = b1 + b2STR + b3SPEND + b4HIESL + b5ON + b6QC + b7BC + b8AB + b9INC1 + b10INC2 + b11INC3

a. (5 points) Cheese Market: Suppose that a technological advancement substantially
reduces the cost of producing cheese, while a new study suggests that excessive use of
cheese is harmful to a person’s health.
b. (5 points) Cream Market: Peaches and cream are complements. When the price of
peaches falls, and the price of raw milk (used to make cream) rises, what happens in the
market for cream?

Monetary Policy in Keynesian Models of the Macroeconomy
(c) Part of the challenge of monetary policy is that the level of potential output is not observed. Assume that the economy is in an equilibrium with output equal to potential output. Suppose the latest economic news leads the central bank to incorrectly raise their estimate of potential output. Use the AD-AS model to describe what will happen to output and inflation in both the short run and long run as a result of this mistake. Explain your reasoning in full.
