Some MPs 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. (300 words)

The Ames Riders, a women’s professional basketball team, employs a head coach and two assistant coaches. The total number of employees of the team (including players) is 20.

how is the statment a good example of why qualitative methodologie is more valuable in advancing cross-cultural research? I think qualitative methodologies are very valuable in advancing cross-cultural research. Qualitative methodologies are used in cross-cultural research by cultural anthropologist for what are called ethnographies. Ethnographies involve observation and field-work within the cultural context and require descriptive qualitative analysis. Some of the advantages of studies involving two or three countries compared to studies that involve ten or more countries are a more concentrated and have a smaller study group. Another advantage is being able to report various cultural variables as it relates to the study and qualitative data. A few disadvantages of studies involving two or three countries compared to involving ten or more countries are the potential for inaccurate results if it does not include the entire population.
