Nearly a decade-and-a-half ago The Economist magazine noted (“Pop, Crackle, Snap,” April 3, 2004), “Even desperate job-seekers think twice about accepting hazardous work such as coal-mining, cow slaughtering or cleaning up asbestos sites.” Oh, really?!? Suppose different types of people have different tastes for wages and safety. Specifically, Type 1 people are very safety-oriented while Type 2 will do “anything” for money. Suppose employers are able to provide different combinations of wages and safety. Specifically, for Type A employers safety is relatively easy/inexpensive to provide. For Type B employers safety is relatively difficult/expensive to provide.

A. Draw and identify the different workers’ indifference curves for wages and safety. Explain which curve(s) represents which type of worker.

B. Draw and identify the different firms’ isoprofit curves for wages and safety. Explain which curve(s) represents which firm.

C. Given your answers in Parts A and B above, use suitable economic analysis to demonstrate whether or not people can be persuaded to do dangerous work.

Consider the following scenario.

(1) France and Italy only trade with each other;
(2) each country is only capable of producing 2 goods, Wine and Bread;
(3) the production of Bread is relatively capital intensive, and the production of Wine is relatively labor intensive, and
(4) France is relatively abundant in capital, while Italy is relatively abundant in labor. All assumptions from our class about the Heckscher-Ohlin model hold, in particular the fact that both countries have identical homothetic preferences, constant returns to scale in production, the countries are the same size, etc...

For the sake of consistency, put BREAD on the X-axis of any PPF graphs you might be inclined to draw.

a. Compare the relative prices of Wine and Bread in each country under autarky. Be sure to thoroughly explain your answer, possibly using a graph(s) for a visual aid. (Answer should be at least one paragraph in length. Quality of your answer determines grade.)
b. Sketch excess demand/excess supply curves for Bread consistent with the scenario when the countries open for free trade. Be sure to carefully draw your graph and identify all relevant parts.
c. Describe what happens to factor payments in France with trade. Be sure to thoroughly explain your answer using what you have learned from the class. (Answer should be at least one paragraph in length.
d. Academic research on alcoholism induces a change in preferences for the goods. In both countries, Wine becomes less desirable relative to Bread. In words and possibly with pictures, describe the impact of this change in preferences on the two economies. You should be sure to include a discussion on the changes in the prices of goods and production factors.

For much of the past century, the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians has
been a defining feature of the Middle East. Despite billions of dollars expended to
support, oppose, or seek to resolve it, the conflict has endured for decades, with
periodic violent eruptions, of which the Israel-Gaza confrontation in the summer of
2014 is only the most recent.
This executive summary highlights findings from a study by a team of RAND
researchers that estimates the net costs and benefits over the next ten years of five
alternative trajectories — a two-state solution, coordinated unilateral withdrawal,
uncoordinated unilateral withdrawal, nonviolent resistance, and violent uprising —
compared with the costs and benefits of a continuing impasse that evolves in
accordance with present trends. The analysis focuses on economic costs related to
the conflict, including the economic costs of security. In addition, intangible costs
are briefly examined, and the costs of each scenario to the international community
have been calculated.
The economy of the Palestinian Territory was a viable and thriving one before the
occupation in June 1967. It generated significant production and income that
sustained a growing population of 1 million people and generated a gross domestic
product (GDP) per capita of about $1,349 in 2004 prices, which was sufficient for it
to be considered a lower-middle-income economy at that time. Tragically, it has
become a land on the verge of economic and humanitarian collapse.
In 2014, the GDP growth rate in the Palestinian Territory turned negative, for the
first time since 2006. The Gaza Strip is becoming increasingly unliveable and could
become totally unliveable by 2020. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of
Statistics, the unemployment rate in Gaza was 45 per cent in 2014, with over 63
per cent of Gaza’s young people unemployed, which is the highest rate in the world.
Female unemployment in the Palestinian Territory was around 40 per cent and
more than 60 per cent in Gaza. Nearly 40 per cent of Palestinians live below the
poverty line. Clean water is a rarity, with at least 90 per cent of Gaza’s water supply
unfit for human consumption. Electricity in Gaza is also sporadic and unreliable,
available only four to six hours a day, and a properly functioning sewage treatment
system no longer exists.
Seven key findings were identified (1): A two-state solution provides by far the best
economic outcomes for both Israelis and Palestinians. Israelis would gain over two
times more than the Palestinians in absolute terms — $123 billion versus $50
billion over ten years. But the Palestinians would gain more proportionately, with
average per capita income increasing by approximately 36 percent over what it
would have been in 2024, versus 5 percent for the average Israeli. A return to
violence would have profoundly negative economic consequences for both Palestinians and Israelis; per capita gross domestic product would fall by 46
percent in the West Bank and Gaza and by 10 percent in Israel by 2024. In most
scenarios, the value of economic opportunities gained or lost by both parties is
much larger than expected changes in direct costs. Unilateral withdrawal by Israel
from the West Bank would impose large economic costs on Israelis unless the
international community shoulders a substantial portion of the costs of relocating
settlers. Intangible factors, such as each party's security and sovereignty
aspirations, are critical considerations in understanding and resolving the impasse.
Taking advantage of the economic opportunities of a two-state solution would
require substantial investments from the public and private sectors of the
international community and from both parties.

young but are still unemployed are: (Consider all the people who live outside Gaza

Her first husband, Arthur Adams, died in 1999. In June 1999, she married Matt Miller, a U.S. citizen, who survived her. Marcia has three children (Andy, Annie, and Archie Adams) from her first marriage.

Date of death values of the properties discovered at Marcia’s death are listed below.

Principal residence with a value of $420,000. Purchased by Marcia in 2001 and titles in the names of Matt and Marcia Miller, joint tenants with right of survivorship.

Stock portfolio in Marcia’s name with fair market value at her death of $5.6 million.

$1 million like insurance policy. Marcia purchased the policy in 1990 and held incidents of ownership. Beneficiary is Marcia’s estate, and Marcia held incidents of ownership.

Trust at Quaker State Bank with value of $500,000. The trust was created under the will of Marcia’s uncle, Josh Judson, who died in 1992. Marcia was entitled to receive all the income annually for life and was granted the power to will the property to such of her descendants as she so desired with the specification that, if she did not exercise the power, the property would pass to Josh’s Former housekeeper, Yvonne Jones.

Marcia’s will includes the following provisions:

I bequeath to Matt all of my tangible, personal property.

To First Lutheran Church I leave $50,000.

To a trust with PHL Bank I leave $200,000. Matt is to receive all the trust income quarterly for life, and the remainder is to be divided equally at his death among my three children or their estates.

I leave my sister Annette $100,000, but if she disclaims this amount, it will go to my beloved Matthew.

I appointed the property on the trust at Quaker State Bank to Annie Adams.

The rest of my property I leave to Andy (my first born).

Other pertinent information follows:

As of her date of death, Marcia owed her country club $800.

The cost of Marcia’s funeral and tombstone totaled $15,000.

Her accountant’s, attorney’s, and executor’s fees are estimated to be $120,000.

Annette made a qualified disclaimer of the $100,000 bequest.

Marcia’s executor, Susan, will make whatever elections will result in the lower tax payable. During her life, Marcia never made any taxable gifts and never consented to gift splitting.

Assume that, under state law, taxes and nay other costs associated with death are payable from the estate’s residue and that the state death tax owed is equal to the state death tax credit available on the federal estate tax return.

Prepare an estate tax return (Form 706) for Marcia. You will also need to prepare the following sub-schedules for Marcia:

B, C, D, E, F, J, K, M, O (These forms all need to be downloaded from the IRS website and the numbers must be manually loaded into the forms and then printed).
