Those participating in thisyear’s contest are Arvada, Centennial, Lakewood, Highlands Ranch, and Parker.To make the contest fair for both large and small cities, the winning city will be the one that recycles the largest number of cans per capita—the number of cans recycled dividedby the number of city residents. 0.02 per can Recycling Can Contest City Population Jan Feb Mar Total Per Capita Arvada 15,855 10,505 24,556 12,567 Centenntial 28,951 24,567 21,777 26,719 Lakewood 142,547 102,376 105,876 121,987 Highlands Ranch 2,801,561 2,714,664 2,503,344 1,999,877 Parker 1,689,908 1,523,665 1,487,660 1,002,545 Total -…

5. 7) Fifteen years ago, the town of Easton decided to increase its annual spending on education so that its high school graduates would be able to earn higher wages. Now Easton has asked you to evaluate the effectiveness of the spending increase. Their data show that before the spending increase, the average salary of recent high school graduated was $25,000 and that now the average salary has risen to $28,500. Fortunately for your analysis a neighboring community did not change its annual spending on education. In the other town 15 years ago high school graduates earned an average of $22,500, and now the average is $23,750. a) Use a differences-in-differences estimator to determine whether Easton’s spending increase potentially caused the wages of high school graduates to rise. b) What underlying assumption do you have to make in order for your estimate to be valid? What might cause that underlying assumption to not be valid?
Suppose that a surfboard designer owns a building and is renting part of the building's space to a doctor. Further suppose that because the surfboard designer is the owner, he has the right to make noise during the day while he sands the boards. While the doctor cannot insist on a quiet environment, the doctor could move to a quieter building. However, rent in the next best building is $400/month more than rent in the noisy building. The surfboard designer can adopt a new technology that eliminates the noise for $325/month. Given this situation, can the doctor find a private solution with the surfboard designer that will make both better off? What is the minimum and maximum payment the doctor would make to the surfboard designer to get the doctor to install the noise-reducing equipment? NOTE: Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Minimum: $ Maximum: $

3. Voluntary contributions toward a public goodLarry and Raphael are considering contributing toward the creation of a public park. Each can choose whether to contribute $400 to the public park or to keep that $400 for a new suit.Since a public park is a public good, both Larry and Raphael will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.80 of benefit. For example, if both Larry and Raphael choose to contribute, then a total of $800 would be contributed to the public park. So, Larry and Raphael would each receive $640 of benefit from the public park, and their combined benefit would be $1,280. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table.Since a new suit is a private good, if Larry chooses to spend $400 on a new suit, Larry would get $400 of benefit from the new suit and Raphael wouldn't receive any benefit from Larry's choice. If Larry still spends $400 on a new suit and…
