Using MRP, explain why athletes typically are not included in the top salaries for celebrities in the United States
Address the following hypothetical scenario: Suppose that hypothetical major league baseball player, Joe Batz, is awarded a $20 million three year contract to play for Team ABC. Using the information from Chapter 13, explain the economist's justification for why Joe is being paid this very high salary.
According to the Economics Policy Institute (Mishel and Wolfe, 2019) CEO pay has grown 940% since 1978 while the compensation of the average worker has only risen 12%. While you can easily find sources that provide statistics that conflict with these numbers, you would be hard pressed to find any credible source that refutes the idea that the rate of pay of CEO’s and other upper-level managers has not dramatically increased relative to an organization’s lower-level employees in just about any 10 or more year period over the past 60 years.
In the world of Adam Smith, the “invisible hand” of the free market capitalistic model would address inequities/out of balances. Are the forces represented by the “invisible hand” working? Why or why not?
Is there an ethical dimension to the discussion of upper-level manager compensation? Why or why not?
How does (or does it?) levels of pay of upper management impact the rest of us commoners?

At the same time, demand for nurses had increased due to the additional health care coverage associated with job growth over the previous decade since the recession and the Affordable Care Act.

This means that teams typically have a fixed amount of money that they can spend on players' salaries - that is, a salary cap. This is true of the National Basketball Association (NBA), for example. Suppose that the NBA has a salary cap of $100 million dollars, and a team has $30 million available to sign new players. That is, $70 million has already been committed to player salaries. The team has two further possibilities: either sign a star player for $30 million, or sign two good, solid supporting players for $15 million each. What is the opportunity cost of signing the star player, assuming the team spends its full budget?
