. Describe how policy makers should approach macroeconomic policy now that the scientific evidence clearly shows that future growth of output using current technologies will cause an environmental disaster that threatens the very survival of the human species. Use macroeconomic models to explain the problems and so outline possible solutions . how much we change the social and economic system that are currently altering the natural environment? Is more economic growth possible?

For this assignment you will read the scenario below: You are the President of the United States, and your first term ends in a year. The cost-control mechanism you instituted 2 years ago, based on patient cost sharing and managed competition, has not worked, and the American people are upset about persistent health care inflation. You are preparing for a major television address on health care costs. Based on this scenario you will develop a 10-12 PowerPoint that includes the following:

1. A definition of patient cost sharing and managed competition. What are these practices and what is the expected outcome?

2. An explanation of whether these strategies are considered ‘painful’ or ‘painless’ cost controlling mechanisms (answer Only 2)

3. A proposal on either the expansion of current cost-sharing programs and more regulations to control costs or the elimination of the two current control mechanisms in favor of new ones.

Question 2 Draw a Schema Diagram with the same information.

Some sports that involve a significant amount of running, jumping, or hopping put participants at risk for Achilles tendinopathy (AT), an inflammation and thickening of the Achilles tendon. A study looked at the diameter (in mm) of the affected tendons for patients who participated in these types of sports activities. Suppose that the Achilles tendon diameters in the general population have a mean of 5.97 millimeters (mm). When the diameters of the affected tendon were measured for a random sample of 31 patients, the average diameter was 9.70 with a standard deviation of 1.96 mm. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate that the average diameter of the tendon for patients with AT is greater than 5.97 mm? Test at the 5% level of significance.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: μ = 5.97 versus Ha: μ > 5.97

H0: μ = 5.97 versus Ha: μ < 5.97

H0: μ = 5.97 versus Ha: μ ≠ 5.97

H0: μ ≠ 5.97 versus Ha: μ = 5.97

H0: μ < 5.97 versus Ha: μ > 5.97

Find the test statistic and rejection region. (Round your answers to two decimal places. If the test is one-tailed, enter NONE for the unused region.)

State your conclusion.

H0 is rejected. There is sufficient evidence to indicate that the average diameter of the tendon for patients with AT is greater than 5.97 mm.

H0 is not rejected. There is insufficient evidence to indicate that the average diameter of the tendon for patients with AT is greater than 5.97 mm.

H0 is rejected. There is insufficient evidence to indicate that the average diameter of the tendon for patients with AT is greater than 5.97 mm.

H0 is not rejected. There is sufficient evidence to indicate that the average diameter of the tendon for patients with AT is greater than 5.97 mm.

Case Study

Allyson is a 43-year-old female who has been married to her husband, Roy, for 12 years and have a 10-year-
old daughter, Rose, between them. Allyson claims that she has been feeling depressed and is seeking a

treatment due to a fear that she would lose everything. She claims she is always sad, tired, and angry and
feels hopeless. For her, everything seems gray. She reports that she lost interest in activities which she was
interested in before, and upset about the fact that she lost interest in raising Rose. According to Allyson, she
first started feeling depressed after she gave birth to Rose. Allyson claims that her doctor did not diagnose
her as experiencing postpartum depression. About 3 weeks later, her mood up lifted again but her symptoms
worsened past year or so. In addition, she claims she experiences abnormal sleep pattern which causes her
to over sleep about 12 hours and 14 hours. She alluded that the onset of the condition was about 7 month
ago and which is considered to be concurrent with depression. Allyson grew up in the family who
experienced and according to her, her mother also experienced depression. She reports that she
has experienced feeling depressed as early as she was 13. However, according to Allyson, her family does
not admit weakness and does not believe in therapy, she did not get proper treatment which may have
worsened her symptoms. Allyson was not a good student at high school and college. She did not go through
any significant traumatizing events such as loss of close people, abuse, bullying and so on. Allison worked
for a telecommunications company for eight years before her marriage to Roy and their moving to New York.
She now works as a consultant while raising Rose. She is financially very stable due to her husband who is a
medical doctor and herself working as a consultant. From her report, though she has been depressed, she
has never been prescribed with medication. In addition, she has never been on any drug or severe
substance use.

Many economists favor a carbon tax as a way to discourage CO2 emissions. Suppose such a tax were to be set at $20 per ton (907kg) of carbon emissions as (CO2). Consider a 50-MW, 35% efficient power plant that uses coal with a carbon intensity of 24gC/MJ.

a. How much per year would this power plant pay in carbon tax?

b. Suppose a tree plantation sequesters (removes from the atmosphere and stores in biomass) 20,000kg of carbon dioxide per year per acre over the next 40 years the trees are growing (after which time the forest is mature and no further accumulation occurs). What area of forest would have to be planted to offset the power plant’s emissions over the next 40 years (roughly the lifetime of the power plant)?

c. What is the maximum the power plant owners would be willing to pay for this forest per acre? (do not use discounting)
