c) Outline two factors that make it challenging for
researchers to accurately measure the effect that the media has on
our attitudes. Explain why these factors present a challenge to the
research.
d) What are the key differences among the various
self-report measurement tools, and what are their main
challenges?
•Name two or three disadvantages of trying to measure welfare with
inducators like the GDP
•Moving beyond the GDP has been in the table for quite some
time. What are some challenges that you can think out countries
could face when trying to change or move away from certain economic
indicators
Assume: 1) only two commodities can be produced in each nation;
2) the table represents the maximum output of each good the nation
can produce in a given time period if it uses all its resources in
the production of that good; and 3) there is a constant trade-off
between production of the two goods in each nation (i.e. a constant
opportunity cost).

Maximum production of tables (units)

1. List and explain the two
different approaches used to measure GDP.
2. Explain why GDP figures
do not necessarily measure happiness or well-being.
3. Given that GDP is a
measure of what is produced in a country, explain how the
expenditure approach can measure GDP. How are items produced, but
not yet sold, accounted for in the expenditure approach?
A measure of the strength of the linear relationship that exists
between two variables is called: Slope/Intercept/Correlation
coefficient/Regression equation. If both variables X and Y increase
simultaneously, then the coefficient of correlation will be:
Positive/Negative/Zero/One. If the points on the scatter diagram
indicate that as one variable increases the other variable tends to
decrease the value of r will be: Perfect positive/Perfect
negative/Negative/Zero. The range of correlation coefficient is: -1
to +1/0 to 1/-∞ to +∞/0 to ∞. Which of...
1) Economic growth:
a. can be more rapid if the nation devotes most of its resources
to production of consumer goods.
b. may be represented by a movement from one end of the
production possibilities curve to the other.
c. may be shown as a rightward shift of the production
possibilities curve.
d.cannot be achieved with better technology.
2) The invention of LED technology significantly reduced the
market for "traditional" incandescent light bulbs. This is an
example of:
a. command...
1. Suppose that Nation 1 can import
good X from Nation 2 at a price P1=1.20 or from Nation 3
at a price P2=1.50. If the domestic demand and supply
curves are given by the following equations:
Demand: P=80-2Q
Supply: P=5+3Q
Under free trade, how many units of good X are consumed? How
many units of good X are produced domestically? How many units of
good X are imported? From which Nation?
If a 30% import tariff is imposed,...
For the variables, HOME, ARREST, TENURE and SIBS, identify the
correct measure of dispersion and explain why it is appropriate.
Locate the values for the measure on the tables and report them for
each variable.
