Do larger universities tend to have more property crime? University crime statistics are affected by a variety of factors. The surrounding community, accessibility given to outside visitors, and many other factors influence crime rate. Let x be a variable that represents student enrollment (in thousands) on a university campus, and let y be a variable that represents the number of burglaries in a year on the university campus. A random sample of n = 8 universities in California gave the following information about enrollments and annual burglary incidents.
| x | 12.3 | 28.4 | 24.5 | 14.3 | 7.5 | 27.7 | 16.2 | 20.1 |
| y | 22 | 77 | 39 | 23 | 15 | 30 | 15 | 25 |
(a) Use a calculator to verify that Σx = 151.0,
Σx2 = 3252.58, Σy = 246,
Σy2 = 10438 and Σxy = 5430.8.
Compute r. (Round to 3 decimal places.)
(b) Compute the sample correlation coefficient r for each of the following data sets and show that r is the same for both. (Use 3 decimal places.)
| (i) | x | 3 | 7 | 9 |
| y | 1 | 2 | 5 |
| (ii) | x | 1 | 2 | 5 |
| y | 3 | 7 | 9 |
| r | |

In 2016, the US ran a $347 billion trade deficit in good with China and $65 billion trade deficit with Germany. Meanwhile, the gross national savings to GDP ratio was 46% in China, 28% in Germany, and 18% in the US in 2016. (the average were 42%, 24%, and 19%, respectively during 1980-2016.) President Trump frequently accused both countries of currency manipulation, which, he argued, caused the US trade deficit. a.) In light of this information and based on your understanding of the national income accounting and determinants of current account balances, explain what are the implicit explanations for the US trade deficit with China and Germany here? b.) To improve the US current account balance with China and Germany what would you reccomend?

The coronavirus is currently wreaking havoc on the world economy. There are many reasons for this, so let’s simplify by focusing on just one. Suppose the primary effect of the coronavirus is to create “uncertainty”, which leads investors to increase their demand for “liquidity” (i.e., it increases the demand for money relative to other assets). Use the DD-AA model to show how this would affect the US economy. What happens to US output and the value of the dollar? US policymakers are currently debating whether to respond by cutting interest rate or increasing government spend- ing. Which of these policy responses would Canada favor? Which would China favor? (Hint: The Canadian dollar floats against the US dollar, whereas the RMB is pegged to the US dollar).
