What are some highlights of the report regarding Retail Sales, Consumer Spending, Real Estate and Construction, Manufacturing, Labor and Prices, etc. during the most recent period? In your opinion, how did your district perform compared to other districts and the U.S. in general? Given the current state of the U.S. economy, what monetary policy changes would you suggest that would be beneficial to your district at this time and why?

In morning glory flowers, plants with red flowers can be homozygous RR or heterozygous Rr. Plants that are rr have white flowers. How can you determine the genotype of a plant that has red flowers?

Multiple Choice

A. Cross the red plant with another red plant, and then cross the F₁ population with each other to see if any white plants appear.

B. The phenotype reflects the genotype, so the plant must be homozygous for the trait.

C. Cross the red plant with a white plant to see how many red plants appear.

D. Cross the red plant with a white plant to see if any white plants appear.

E. Cross the red plant with another red plant to see if any white plants appear.

Please feel free to make use of graphs as you see fit

1.

a. Provide a detailed analysis of the four crucial components of the Classical Model: the labor market, Say’s Law, the loanable funds market and the quantity theory of money.

b. While making use of these four components, provide an explanation of why this model implies that there is no need for any aggregate demand management to maintain full employment. (Please emphasize, in particular, the role played by flexible prices and wages).

2.

a. Provide a detailed analysis of the three crucial components of Keynes’ Model: the consumption function, the determinants of investment demand and the speculative demand for money.

b. Assume that nominal wages are rigid. Use these components to explain why, in this model, the economy can come to rest at an equilibrium with involuntary unemployment.

c. What policy tools can be used to move such an economy to a state of full employment? Provide an analysis of how these tools can achieve this objective.

3.

a. Derive the IS and LM curves. Explain how the IS curve helps address a flaw in the Classical Model. And explain how the LM curve helps address a flaw in Keynes’ Model.

b. Using the IS-LM framework, determine the conditions under which monetary and fiscal policy will be most effective in restoring the economy to a state of full employment.

c. Does the emergence of a state of equilibrium with involuntary unemployment rest on the assumption of rigid nominal wages or does it rest on the existence of speculative demand for money? Use the IS-LM framework to provide an answer to this question.

4.

a. According to the most fundamentalist Keynesians in the 1950s and 1960s, changes in the quantity of money were deemed to have no effect on aggregate nominal income. How did these Keynesians arrive at this conclusion? What does such a view imply regarding the nature of the demand for money?

b. Provide a summary of the main arguments advanced by Friedman “to bring money back,” i.e., in support of the position that changes in the money supply do have a significant impact on aggregate nominal income?

c. According to Friedman money is non-neutral in the short run and neutral in the long run. Explain how he arrives at this conclusion. What are the implications of his argument for the validity of the Phillips Curve?

Recall that Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Now suppose you are the auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue file contains millions of numbers in a large computer data bank. You draw a random sample of n = 230 numbers from this file and r = 88 have a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the computer file that have a leading digit of 1.

(i) Test the claim that p is more than 0.301. Use α = 0.05.

(a) What is the level of significance?

State the NULL
State theALTERNATE HYPOTHESES

H0: p > 0.301; H1: p = 0.301

H0: p = 0.301; H1: p ≠ 0.301

H0: p = 0.301; H1: p > 0.301

H0: p = 0.301; H1: p < 0.301

(b) What sampling distribution will you use? The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5. The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5. The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5. The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

(c) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(d) Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.

Provide two real-world survey questions that would be useful to you in a professional application or in your everyday life by addressing the following: (i) your first should be a question associated with a categorical (qualitative) variable. Explain the measuring scale associated with the question and if the data collected is cross-sectional or time series. What might you be able to infer about the data you would collect? (ii) Your second should be a question associated with a quantitative variable. Explain the measuring scale associated with the question. Also, determine whether the variable associated with the survey question is discrete or continuous and if the data collected is cross-sectional or time series. What might you be able to infer about the data you would collect? Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing any sources referenced

You can, of course, paraphrase any important definition. Everything else must be in your own words. *Bullet points are acceptable, but must provide a complete and thorough response. * It must be typed, have page numbers, headers, and include a cover page. *It will be graded for clarity, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and presentation. *There is to be NO collaborations with other students or anyone. You should not discuss this question with anyone nor should anyone read or proof your work.
