1) Assume you are a new company that has created a revolutionary product that will have a massive

consumer demand. However, you first need to build a factory to manufacture this product. Using

the Weber Model, explain how you would choose to locate your manufacturing plant, assuming

your product has only two inputs. Does your answer change if your product has three (or more)

inputs?

2) What are the benefits to firms from clustering and agglomeration economies? Can they help and/or

hinder a firm’s competitiveness?

3) Explain the role of age, education, and amenities in migration decisions. How does each influence

the decision to migrate and, from what you have learned in class, which plays the larger role in the

migration decision?

4) Compare and contrast the following models of migration: disequilibrium model, the equilibrium

model, and the endogenous human-capital model.

5) Assume there are two income groups in a city, poor and rich people. In the absence of amenities

(i.e. utility is a function of only the house size and bread consumption), explain where each group

locates and why. Now assume amenities are included in the utility function. What determines

where each group will locate? Does this match what we observe in the real world?

If you can’t answer both I would rather you answer number 2 then. Thank you :)

1) What is parasite-mediated apparent competition and how does it differ from classical competition?

2) Species A is the indigenous population on an island nation.  Species B was introduced to this island 200 years ago and shares the same habitat as species A.  During the ensuing 200 years since species B was introduced, and in the face of a growing human population, the population of species B has proliferated.  Species A by comparison is declining.  There is evidence of hunting pressure on the two species as well as a shared pathogen that infects both species.  Explain the type of competition that might be present in the ecosystem shared by the populations of these two species and how this type of competition may be affecting changes in the two populations (e.g. species A and species B).  In your explanation please indicate which species may be a generalist in this system.  If there are two other species in this island that interact with the populations of species of A and B how might the entire host of communities be affected if the population of species A is declining if one of those two species preys on species A.  We discussed parasites/pathogens influencing population growth and being able to regulate population growth in a density-dependent manner.  What are different effects that a parasite/pathogen might have in population regulation (e.g. think about the lynx/hare/worms).

Purpose: To put into practice the skills you’ve learned regarding email writing and intercultural
communication.
Scenario: You work in the Human Resources office of a mid-sized web design company,
Graphix. A team of your web designers, headed by David McCoy, is set to travel to a number of
different countries—Australia, Japan, and India—to meet with potential clients. The team
members have never travelled to these countries, and they will be meeting the clients for the
first time. They will be on their own. Your supervisor is sensitive to the fact that there will be
cultural differences that your team needs to take into consideration. He knows that you have
had experience doing business with clients and keeping contacts in other countries, so he has
asked you to provide some suggestions for the team.
Task: Compose an email in which you make at least three suggestions for effective
intercultural communication based on our discussions of writing for diverse audiences in
Module 2.
NOTE: do not provide recommendations for communicating specifically with people from
Australia, Japan, or India, but for intercultural communication in general.
Consider:
• Your audience is not just David McCoy but other readers at the company as well
• The information the team will need before their trip
• The strategies we established in class for facilitating intercultural communication (see
the slides for reference)
Remember:
• the direct approach
• the conventions we’ve established for email composition (including a clear subject line)

Assume that Snoopy faces two choices: (1) drop out of school to earn $28,000 now and $29,000 in the next time period, or (2) stay in school now (without working) and earn $45,000 in the next time period. Assume that the monetary cost of an additional year of schooling is $3,200. (a) If the interest rate is 2%, should Snoopy invest in the additional year of education if only two time periods are involved? Why or why not? (b) Do you think your answer might change if the interest rate is less than 2%? (c ) Now assume that three time periods are involved. If Snoopy does not go back to school, he will earn $28,000, $29,000, and $29,800 in the three time periods, respectively. If he attends school another year, he will earn $45,000 next year and $50,000 in the following year. In this case, if the interest rate is 2% should Snoopy invest in the additional year of education? (d) If Snoopy places a high intrinsic value on acquiring more education, how might your answers change to (a) and (c )? (e) How might your answers change to (a) and (c ) if Snoopy is able to maintain a part-time job while he is in school that pays $10,000? (f) Use this example to discuss the four factors that affect the likelihood someone will invest in human capital.
