Your task is to respond to this prompt and to cite at least one source. For this assignment, the source may be scholarly or from a periodical. Your source should be documented as a reference using APA style. Be sure to respond to the prompt using concepts from our course. You may use models to illustrate your points. 1. American solar farms receive billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies each year. These subsidies allow them to substitute grain production for energy production. How do U.S. solar farm subsidies hurt or benefit Mexican farmers? 2. What does this imply for U.S. food production independence? What could be done to address this problem, and would the solution be effective? Notice, having a positive effect, a negative effect or no net-effect is a possibility on Mexican farmers.

Every year, there is some form of construction work going on at UF's campus. In January 2018, bids were opened for a new building on campus for UFPD. The bid/construction value of the building was set at $5 Million. Another building of similar structure and purpose is planned with a bid opening in January 2023. What is the expected bid for the new building? It is given that in January 2000, the Florida Construction Cost Index had a value of 5550, while in January 2018, that value was 8000. You can use these price indices to calculate an average inflation in construction costs.
Use this data and develop a model of a truck's annual maintenance expenses based on its weekly usage in hours. If the truck's weekly usage is 25.3 hours, we should expect its annual maintenance expense to be: (Keep one decimal place) Weekly Usage (hours) Annual Maintenance Expense 13 17.0 10 22.0 20 30.0 28 37.0 32 47.0 17 30.5 24 32.5 31 39.0 40 51.5 38 40.0
To study the determinants of growth across the countries in the world, researchers have used country level observations averaged over long periods of time (e.g. averaged over 1960- 2000). Some of these studies have focused on the effect that inflation has on growth and found that although the effect is small for a given time period, it accumulates over time and therefore has an important negative effect. (a) Explain why the OLS estimator may be biased in this case. (b) Some authors have suggested using an index of the Central Bank Independence as an instrumental variable. Discuss whether or not such an index would be a valid instrument (discuss both relevance and exogeneity; note that instrumental validity is more of an economic rather than econometric concept
