The mayor of a small city suggested that the state locate a new prison there, arguing that the construction project and resulting jobs will be good for the local economy. A total of 2183 residents show up for a public hearing on the proposal, and a show of hands finds only 31 in favor of the prison project. What can the city council conclude about public support for the mayor's initiative? Produce a 98% confidence interval to answer the question.

PROMT: Climate Change Effects on Marine Iguana Mortality

1. Hypothesis: If the water temperature in the Galapagos Islands changed from being hot (around 77 degrees) to cold (under 70 degrees), then the mortality rate of Marine Iguanas will increase.
2. Variables: The independent variable is the temperature of the water that the Marine Iguanas live in. The dependent variable is the mortality rate of the Marine Iguanas. The mortality rate of the Marine Iguanas at the average water temperatures of their habitat.
3. Experimental Treatments: Iguana Group 1 will be water temperatures and marine iguana mortality rates before 1998. Iguana Group 2 will be water temperatures marine iguana mortality rates after 199
4. Prediction: By comparting the average water temperatures with the mortality rates every year before the sudden drop in the iguana population and after a trend will be able to be seen. If the water temperature is truly to blame for the mortality rate increase the water temperature will decrease as the population of Iguanas decreases. The control group is intended to show the average number of Iguanas that die due to other causes.

QUESTION ----->>>>> Write a detailed summary of what is wrong with the proposed study ^^^^^????

Your answer should use scientific vocabulary words and address the following questions.

1. Is the study feasible? Will it actually be possible to conduct the proposed study in a controlled manner that produces meaningful data? If there is more than one variable changing simultaneously, no controls, or no replication, then the study is unlikely to produce meaningful data. If there is no way to monitor an experiment in the environment, or no way to conduct the experiment in a controlled environment, like a laboratory, then the experiment is unlikely feasible
2. Can you tell from the text if the experiment is designed to be conducted by performing treatments, or by analyzing observational data about a species and its habitat
3. Is there a testable hypothesis? Is the study set up so that it will be possible to measure the effects in a quantifiable way? What will be measured? Is there a control group and a treatment group? Or, an independent variable like temperature, and a dependent variable like germination time
4. Could you graph the results of this experiment? If so, how would you do it? A column chart to show treatments and controls? A scatter plot or a line graph to look at how changes in the independent variable affect the dependent variable?

1.In the 1980s and 1990s many states passed Any-Willing-Provider (AWP) legislations that require managed care organizations to accept any provider into their network if the provider agreestotheconditions,termsandreimbursementrates. Supposeyouarehiredbyanagency to estimate the effect of AWP legislation on state-level hospital and physician expenditures (EXP). You have state-level data on expenditures, year AWP law passed, and demographic and health characteristics spanning 1980 through 1998. Note that both EXP and AWPvary across years and states. The state-level demographic and health characteristics include population density, percent of the population of African American race, HMO market share, real per capita income and unemployment rate. Assume that data are available for 50 states.

A.[20 Points] What approach would you use to estimate the effect of the policy change (i.e.,AWP) on total hospital and physician expenditures? Specify your model (the equation and important assumptions), and then explain your estimation approach.

B. [10 Points] Do we need to worry about potential endogeneity in AWP? Explain.

Hint:

You have panel data on 50 states (n= 50) and 9 years (t = 9). In part (A), set-up a linear panel data model with dependent variable EXP and key explanatory variable AWPit, other regressors (population,....unemployment rate), year dummies, individual effects and the idiosyncratic error term. Note AWPit = 1 if state i passed the law (or the law was in effect) during year t. Depending on the assumptions you make, you can in principle use fixed effects, random effects or first difference. You need to explain your chosen approach. The FE estimator might be preferable, though.

For part (B), explain why the AWP legislation might be endogenous. Basically, if the AWP legislation is related to the underlying changes in health expenditures, then AWP may be endogenous. This is the so called policy endogeneity. If states implement the legislation in response to upward trends in health expenditures, then AWP may be correlated with the idiosyncratic error term.

1. Define the terms expansion and recession. How is the existence of a recession determined?

2. What are the relative lengths of expansions versus recessions? How have the average lengths of each changed over time?

3. How is business cycle volatility measured? Has volatility changed over time?

4. Define the terms employed, unemployed, labor force, discouraged work- ers, and labor force participation rate.

5. What is seasonal data adjustment, and why do macroeconomists prefer to study seasonally adjusted data?

6. What is consumption smoothing, and how does it arise in the life-cycle model?

7. Suppose that you are given the following information about the labor market. The amounts shown are in thousands.

   1. (a) For each year, calculate the size of the labor force.

   2. (b) For each year, calculate the labor force participation rate.

   3. (c) For each year, calculate the unemployment rate.

   4. (d) Do the data suggest that the number of discouraged workers might have increased in a particular year? If so, which year?

8. Assume that the economy starts out in a steady state characterized by the following values: A = 4, N = 200, α = 0.5; and β = 0.3 Suppose that A rises for only one period to 4.5, and then returns to its initial value of 4.

   (a) Trace out the resulting time path for the capital-labor ratio and total output over the next four periods.

   1

2. (b) What are the new steady-state values for the capital-labor ratio and total output?

3. (c) In what sense does the path of output constitute a ”business cy- cle”? In what sense does the output path not constitute a ”busi- ness cycle”?
