Two travelers on a plane have identical luggage and each contains an identical plate of rare china. Both plates are worth the same amount and only the two travelers know their true value. The airline loses both bags. The travelers are informed that the airline is liable to compensate them only up to $300. In order to determine an honest appraisal of the value of the plates, each traveler is taken to a separate room and asked to write down

Suppose employers care about overall productivity Z, which is made up of two components, X and Y, such that Z=X+Y (and employers know this productivity function). Suppose there are two groups (male and female) whose average Zs are the same (i.e. Z_M =Z_F), but X_M < X_F and Y_M > Y_F (and again, employers know these population averages). Researchers decide to run a resume-based audit study where they randomize names based on gender (using typically male or female names) but hold constant Y. They provide no information on X. Which of the following would suggest taste-based discrimination? ● The call-back rate is the same for both sexes. ● The call-back rate is higher for men than for women ● We can't use differences in call-back rates to find suggestive evidence of taste-based discrimination because there's too many other factors that are different across the resumes. ● The call-back rate is higher for women than for men

One of the oldest principles of marketing is that sellers may sell features, but buyers essentially buy benefits. This is a distinction sometimes lost on technology ledorganizations, and the service sector is no exception. Recent experience of the UK’s largest telecommunications company, Della’s, illustrates how crucial it is to see service offers in terms of the benefits they bring to customers. The company was aware of extensive research which had found high levels of confusion among purchasers of mobile phones, with a seemingly infinite permutation of features and prices. With four main networks to choose from, dozens of tariffs and hundreds of handsets, it is easy to see why buyers sought a way of simplifying their buying process. Throughout the 1990s, Della’s had positioned its UK network as superior technically to its competitors. Advertising focused on high coverage rates and call reliability.Della’s was the UK's most popular mobile phone operator, with almost eight million…
