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)

    CASE STUDY: Since becoming an independent nation in 1965, Singapore has been on the rise economically. Although it occupies a small geographical area, its busy port has aided Singapore in gaining economic power. The per capita GNP is one of the highest in the world. The major exports include electronics and chemicals, creating profits that allow for the purchase of raw materials that are not native to the country. As a result, Singapore relies heavily on a strategy similar to entrepôt trading, which involves importing of raw materials and refining them into goods to be exported. ​Singapore’s economy is considered to be free market, and is developing at a very rapid pace. A strong educational system develops large, skilled workforce, and the business environment up to this point has been relatively corruption-free. Government intervention is generally kept to a minimum, but the government has undertaken several measures to promote further economic growth. Heavy investment in the…

    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. The head coach, a male, is known for his off-color sense of humor. He has been known to make remarks to the two assistant coaches regarding their marital and sex lives. This activity has not been frequent, but it has occurred more than once. However, there has been no evidence of any other acts and no evidence that the assistant coaches suffered in their employment.

What actions would you take against the head coach…
