Now Easton has asked you to evaluate the effectiveness of the spending increase. Their data show that before the spending increase, the average annual salary of recent high school graduates was $25,000 and that now that average salary has risen to $28,500. Fortunately for your analysis, a neighboring community (Allentown) did not change its annual spending on education. Ten years ago, recent Allentown high school graduates earned an average of $22,500, and now that average is $23,750. (a) Use a difference-in-differences estimator to determine whether Easton’s spending increase caused the wages of their high school graduates to increase.

Consider a world in which production of a good or service consists of a number of definitive tasks, which must all be performed correctly for the product to have positive value. Each task is filled by a single worker i whose skill level qirepresents the probability the worker performs her task correctly. Mathematically, if there are n tasks in the production of a good, and average production per worker with one unit of capital is 1 when all tasks are performed correctly, the production technology can be represented as: A) Give an example of an industry for which this might be a good model of production. What does this production function imply about the tradeoff between quality and quantity of labor in a given task? In this, how does it differ from a Cobb Douglas production function?
