In the following table, indicate whether the researcher in the scenario is collecting experimental data or observational data. Experimental Scenario Data A pediatrician randomly assigns babies to two different groups, giving one group a new type of infant formula and the other group conventional formula, in order to study the effects of the new formula. O An oncologist randomly assigns rats into two groups, giving one group a new drug intended to fight cancer and giving the other group a placebo, in order to study the effects of the new drug. A sociologist conducts interviews with former protestors and activists in order to study the struggles of the civil rights movement. The issue of reverse causality is more likely to be present in data sets than in O data sets. Observational Data O O

The following is an excerpt from "The Oregon Experiment- Effects of Medicaid on Clinical Outcomes," by Baicker et al. (2013). Fill in the blank identifying the method used in this paper given the description in the paragraph (I've given you a hint on the key points by italicizing a few phrases): "Adults randomly selected in the lottery were given the option to apply for Medicaid, but not all persons selected by the lottery enrolled in Medicaid (either because they did not apply or because they were deemed ineligible). Lottery selection increased the probability of Medicaid coverage during our study period by 24.1 percentage points (95% confidence interval [CI], 22.3 to 25.9; P<0.001). The subgroup of lottery winners who ultimately enrolled in Medicaid was not comparable to the overall group of persons who did not win the lottery. We, therefore, used a standard______ _approach... to estimate the causal effect of enrollment in Medicaid. Intuitively, since the lottery increased the chance…
7) There is some popular unrest in a dictatorship. The population might be in a revolutionary mood, in which case they would be willing to violently overthrow the dictator, or just grumbling, in which case they would not. There is a 30% chance the population is in a revolutionary mood. The population knows their own type, but the dictator does not. After nature chooses whether the population is in a revolutionary mood, the population can decide to protest or not. The dictator observes the populations behavior, and then can peacefully resign or hold onto power. The dictator can make this choice whether or not the population protests. If the dictator holds onto power, the population can violently overthrow the dictator or not. The dictator gets 50 utility for retaining power, O utility if they peacefully resign, and -100 utility if they are overthrown. The revolutionary population gets 50 utility for the dictator resigning, 30 utility for overthrowing the dictator, and -50 utility for…

Exercise 1.12. Consider the following game. There is a club with three members: Ann, Bob and Carla. They have to choose which of the three is going to be president next year. Currently Ann is the president. Each member is both a candidate and a voter. Voting is as follows: each member votes for one candidate (voting for oneself is allowed); if two or more people vote for the same candidate then that person is chosen as the next president; if there is complete disagreement, in the sense that there is exactly one vote for each candidate, then the person from whom Ann voted is selected as the next president. (a) Represent this voting procedure as a game frame, indicating inside each cell of each table which candidate is elected. (b) Assume that the players' preferences are as follows: AnnAm Carla Ann Bob, Carla Bob Ann, Bob Carla Ann Caria Carla. Using utility values 0, 1 and 2, convert the game frame into a game. (c) Apply the IDWDS to the game of part (b). Is there a weak iterated…
In experiments in which participants voluntarily contribute to the provision of a public good, we often find a reduction in contributions in successive rounds of the experiment. We can explain this as Group of answer choices Evidence of participants reaching satiation and not wanting such high levels of the public good. Evidence of participants working out the Nash equilibrium outcome of the voluntary contribution game. Evidence of participants reducing cooperation to punish free riding. Evidence of participants learning how to play the game more effectively.
The following is an excerpt describing the Oregon Medicaid lottery: In 2008, Oregon implemented a limited expansion of its Medicaid program for low-income adults through a lottery, selecting names from a waiting list to fill a limited number of available spots. Those selected had the opportunity to apply for Medicaid and to enroll if they met eligibility requirements. Based on the description, you might describe the Oregon Medicaid lottery as a: randomized experiment "As if random" natural experiment a true natural experiment
