MP believe that there is a causal relationship between earnings and years of schooling. They show you an estimate of the impact of years of schooling on annual earnings: There are two groups of individuals – group 1 and group 2. Group 1 on average earns £60,000 per year with the average level of post-compulsory education of 6 years, while group 2 earns on average £40,000 with the average post-compulsory education of 4 years. The MPs conclude that the annual return to an additional year of education is 25% using the following equation [(£60,000-£40,000)/40,000]/(6-4)=25%. Ignoring time preferences and discounting, and if both groups face the same cost of schooling, you need to explain to the MPs why this is not a good estimate of the annual return to an additional year of education. Propose methods to the MPs to deal with the problem
H3. Empirical evidence has highlighted noticeable income convergence across difference regions in the US. It has been discussed in many classical studies, including Barro and Salai-Martin (1991). However, researchers also noticed some different pattern in reality. For example, there are two cities in central Arkansas. They are 40 miles apart from each other next to an inter-state highway. The two cities were similar in several aspects, for example infrastructure, demographics and industries until the 1980s. For example, both cities had about 5,000 total population and roughly $10,000 of average household income in the mid-1970s. After 40 years, one city still has about 5,000 people and with $28,000 average household income. The other city, however, has grown into a decent metro-area with about 30,000 residents and $50,000 average household income. 1) From the story above, can you find any evidence to support or invalidate the Solow growth model, which is the core of modern economic…

Researchers questioned 1000 individuals fromCalifornia between the ages of 20 and 85 about their eating habits, andmeasured their weight and height. On average, participants ate chocolatetwice a week and had a body mass index (BMI) of 28. There was anobserved difference of five to seven pounds in weight between those whoate chocolate five times a week and those who did not eat any chocolate atall, with the chocolate eaters weighing less on average.
