1) The following is an excerpt from a working (i.e. unpublished) academic paper. Which empirical research strategy is being used here? "We develop a non-cooperative bargaining model with incomplete information linking dowry payments, domestic violence, resource allocation between a husband and a wife, and separation. .. Our empirical analysis exploits the introduction of amendments to the Dowry Prohibition Act between 1985 and 1986 as a natural experiment, and consists of two main parts. Using data from the Rural Economic and Demographic Survey, we first confirm that the amendments were successful at reducing dowry payments (Alfano, 2017). Next, we test the predictions of our model using data from the National Family Health Survey. Since the Dowry Prohibition Act (initially introduced in 1961) and its amendments do not apply to Muslims, we exploit variation in religion and year of marriage to identify the effect of the reforms..." a.

Each group can select a product or service and investigate its price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply. Students should explore how changes in price and other factors affect the quantity demanded or supplied. They can also discuss the significance of elasticity for businesses and policy-makers. Part B: Market Analysis Conduct a market analysis of the industry the chosen product belongs to. The analysis should include the following. • market structure • key players • pricing strategies • entry barriers, and • consumer behavior in the industry of the chosen product/service. Also, discuss the implications of the market structure on competition and pricing.
Application. The outbreak of the bubonic plague- the Black Death- in 1348 reduced the population of Europe by about one-third within a few years, which resulted in a massive reduction in the labor force during the plague years. Suppose the outbreak of the bubonic plague- the Black Death- in 1348 did not cause the TEP. parameter to fall (this is a reasonable assumption for simplicity as the effect of the fall in TFP was much less significant than the effect of the massive reduction in the labor force during the Black Death, so the effect of the fall in TFP was negligible compared with the massive reduction in the labor force during the Black Death). Using the complete intertemporal model developed in class, brieáy explain the eşects of the outbreak on the equilibrium values of real wage, output, real interest rate, consumption, investment, and the price level.

What types of empirical studies (across-state studies or national studies) does the author prefer, and why? National studies are better because across-state studies are more subject to statistical fluctuation. Across-state studies are better because they are less susceptible to the effects of business cycles National studies are better because across-state study results may not necessarily reflect the effect of increases in the minimum wage on the nation as a whole Across-state studies are better for measuring age-specific implications than national studies.
Scenario and activity: Managerial economics helps in estimating the product demand, planning of production schedule, deciding the input combinations, estimation of cost of production, achieving economies of scale and increasing the returns to scale. It also includes determining price of the product, analyzing market structure to determine the price of the product for profit maximization, which helps them to control and plan capital in an effective manner. Successful mangers make good decisions, and one of their most useful tools is the methodology of managerial economics.
