For example, relationship ofsocial capital with population happiness, health, income, economic growth, andhuman development has been researched by several scholars. However, very fewstudies have considered the relationship between social capital and income inequality.One exception to that is the recent work by Robison et al. (Journal of SocioEconomics, 2011) which proposed a theoretical link between social capital andincome distribution and conducted an empirical exploration for the U.S. states forthe census years 1980, 1990, and 2000. Their key measure of social capital wassomewhat narrowly focused on percent of households headed by a single female…

Suppose a US medical board is using marginal analysis to determine the optimal screening frequency for a specific disease. Below is the approximate number of early cases detected as you expand testing to a broarder population. Suppose further that each early detection case is considered to have a benefit of $50,000 and the cost of screening one person is $20,000. Number of people Total Number of screened in a Early Detection given a year Cases 1,000 500 2,000 1000 3,000 1400 4,000 1700 5,000 1900 The marginal benefit to screening 2 thousand people is, and 3 thousand people is 500 early detection cases ($25,000,000); 400 cases ($20,000,000) 1000 early detection cases ($50,000,000); 1400 ($70,000,000) early cases O 1400 ($70,000,000) early cases; 1000 early detection cases ($50,000,000) 400 cases ($20,000,000); 500 early detection cases ($25,000,000) P

Suppose that an individual's demand curve for doc-tor visits per year is given by the equation P = 500- 25Q, where Q is the number of doctor visits peryear and P is the price per visit. Suppose also thatthe marginal cost of each doctor visit is $100.a. How many visits per year would be efficient?What is the total cost of the efficient numberof visits?b. Suppose that the individual obtains insur-ance. There is no deductible, and the coin-surance rate is 50 percent. How many visitsto the doctor will occur now? What are theindividual's out-of-pocket costs? How muchdoes the insurance company pay for this individual's doctors' visits?c. What is the deadweight loss (if any) causedby this insurance policy?
