Think of a research idea in which you will compare 2 groups
(sample v population or sample v sample) on some variable (e.g.,
the book uses the example of the IQ of a particular group vs. the
IQ of the general population—do not use this example). Answer all
of the following questions for this study.
Study
a) What are your two groups?
b) What is the variable you will test?
c) State your null hypothesis using the formula notation shown in the book.
d) State your alternative hypothesis using the formula notation shown in the book.
e) In sentence structure state your alternative hypothesis.
f) Based on your hypothesis is your study one- or two-tailed?

You have been asked to undertake a cost-benefit analysis of a
switch to all
postconsumer content recycled paper at the Cal State University
System
a. What condition for allocative efficiency does cost-benefit
analysis attempt to achieve?
Use a graph or an equation in your explanation.
b. What specific costs and benefits would you quantify? List them
and discuss the likely
timing of the costs and benefits (that is, discuss whether the
costs and benefits would be
in early years, later years, or spread evenly throughout the ten
years).
c. Write down the equations that you would use to compare benefits
and costs, and explain
exactly how you would adjust future benefits and

Many countries and experts around the world are arguing that current mixed economies and the economics that justifies them are no longer sustainable because they are built on predominantly fossil fuel use. Combined with the production/consumption processes that generate a great deal of highly destructive and biosphere-threatening waste, they are no longer effective. Over the next couple of decades, we must transition those economies to a new state where they run predominantly on renewable energy and operate in a circular fashion that eliminates most waste and cooperates with nature. This includes developing a new economy focused on collaboration, resilience, regeneration, and sharing.
You are a newly appointed advisor to the President. Your brief is to develop a plausible challenge to this view and suggest market-based solutions that address the concerns raised. Using concepts and resources from inside the course and online to support your approach, discuss how you would go about doing this or explain why you can’t.

Mikes Pizza Parlor chains operates restaurants located in a five state area. The most successful locations for Mike’s Pizza Parlor are near college campuses. The managers believe that quarterly sales for these restaurants are related positively to the size of the student population. In other words, restaurants located near campuses with a large population tend to generate more sales than those located near campuses with smaller populations. Using regression analysis, what is the dependent and independent variable to use? Explain. Then, provide a separate example on your own.

Assume that the decrease in the saving rate occurred because of a new government policy that compelled people to save less. Let’s think about whether people are made better off by this policy. We often take GDP per capita as a guide to living standards. But for this question, it is important to think about consumption per capita, which is the share of output not saved. To do this, we need to distinguish between the short and the long run effects. What happens in the short-term? Are people better or worse off in the short term? By short-term here, we refer to the exact period in which the change in policy is implemented.
What happens in the long-term? Are people better or worse off in the long-term? By longterm here, we refer to new steady state. You may want to use the equation that you have obtained for C ∗ to justify your answer.
