In a society with 240,000 households, 10,000 households earn $4 each, 4,000 households earn $2 each, 10,000 households earn $10 each, and the rest earn $1 each. What is the income share of the third quintile? (Not the cumulative income share, just the share of that quintile.) Please write down the answer with two decimal points in percentage form without the % sign. XX.xx, NOT XX.xx%

Suppose that you have data at the individual level that includes information on the price of a doctor visit an individual and the number of doctor visits they go to in a given year. For simplicity, let's say that those with more generous plans pay less for a doctor's visit, while those with less generous plans pay more for a visit. You graph the relationship between the price individual pays for doctor visits against the number of visits, and you see a downward sloping line; let's call this "measured demand." The problem of "endogeneity" discussed this week could arise here if individuals who know they go to the doctor frequently buy more generous coverage while those who know they rarely go to the doctor purchase less generous coverage. This would imply that the "true" demand curve (if we were to account for endogeneity) is_________ the same as. less inelastic than the measured demand curve. more inelastic than the measured demand curve.

Voluntary donations to the poor… are likely to result in an undersupply of income redistribution to low income groups relative to the efficient amount.” Using graphical analysis, show why this will be the case.
Wealth, earnings, and disposable income are just three of several ways of looking at inequality. Imagine a household that earns $80,000 per year from labor. In that year, it also receives an income of $3,000 from investments, pays $12,000 in tax, and receives $7,000 in transfers from the state. Which of the following is its market income and its disposable income? O $83,000; $71,000. O $83,000 $78,000. O $80,000; $68,000. O $80,000; $75,000. J

There are three groups of citizens who visit a beach. Group C, which is the farthest away, has to pay $100 to visit the beach for a day. Group B has to pay $75, and group A, the closest, has to pay $25. Group C visits the beach 2 times per year, group B visits 7 times per year, and group A visits 12 times per year. Assume that there are 100 individuals in each group, and that all individuals across groups are identical, except for their distance to the beach. Use this information to extrapolate and plot the demand curve for beach days for an individual (as was done in class and in the book); you can assume that if the cost was $110 then no trips would be taken. Then, calculate the total consumer surplus generated by the beach.

I agree, relationships and work are said to be the cornerstones of being human and both are very important for happiness. Yet juggling the demands of each can be difficult. Having a good work life balance is essential to healthy living. Good point, I was not expecting Switzerland to be among the wealthiest of countries, either. I also would like to see the social inequality score decrease. I think a good start would be to invest in better public education, provide better access to affordable healthcare, and establish better economic policies to promote job growth, and economic mobility ensuring that everyone has access to the same opportunities. I agree, I believe Better Life Index is a very resourceful tool. Better Life Index does give clearer visualization for communities as whole. From the illustrations I gathered we collectively do want to help build a better lifestyle. That’s true! Wheelan's quote is a great reminder of the importance of economics in our lives. Economics is a…

Consider an economy with 4000 people and the following income distribution: each person in the bottom quartile of the income distribution earns $10 dollars per hour; each person in the 2nd quartiles earns $20 dollars per hour; each person in the 3rd quartiles earns $25 dollars per hour;and each person in the top quartile of the income distribution earns $45 dollars per hour. (2) Suppose the bottom quartile pays no taxes, the 2nd quartiles pay 10% its income in taxes, the 3rd pays 20% and the top quartile pays 40% of its income in taxes. 80% of all tax money is redistributed equally to all citizens in the form of military defense, government pensions (social security), roads/highways, etc. The remaining tax money is distributed entirely to the poorest quartile. What is the Gini coefficient associated with this redistribution plan?
