Suppose that kenji, an economist from an am talk radio program, and lucia, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing over health insurance. the following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: lucia: a popular topic for debate among politicians as well as economists is the idea of providing government assistance for health benefits. kenji: i think it is oppressive for the government to tax people who take care of themselves in order to pay for health insurance for those who are obese. lucia: i disagree. i think government funding of health insurance is useful to ensure basic fairness. the disagreement between these economists is most likely due to . despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials. minimum wage laws do more to harm low-skilled workers than them. tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.

Total marketing effort is a term used to describe the critical decision factors that affect demand: price, advertising, distribution, and product quality. define the variable x to represent total marketing effort. a typical model that is used to predict demand as a function of total marketing effort is based on the power function: d = axb suppose that a is a positive number. different model forms result from varying the constant b. sketch the graphs of this model for b = 0, b = 1, 0< b< 1, b< 0, and b> 1. (we encourage you to use excel to do this.) what does each model tell you about the relationship between demand and marketing effort? what assumptions are implied? are they reasonable? how would you go about selecting the appropriate model?

Match each event to its effect on the equilibrium interest rate and the amount of investment in the loanable funds market. higher interest rate, greater investment higher interest rate, less investment lower interest rate, less investment lower interest rate, greater investment immediate consumer gratification is no longer preferred by people. an efficient new source of energy effectively increases the return on owning a factory. a wave of retirees stops working and begins drawing on retirement savings.
