Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 2P
Suppose that repeated application of a pesticide used on orange trees causes harmful contamination of groundwater. The pesticide is applied annually in almost all of the orange groves throughout the world. Most orange growers regard the pesticide as a key input in their production of oranges.
- Use a diagram of the market for the pesticide to illustrate the implications of a failure of orange producers' costs to reflect the
social costs of groundwater contamination. - Use your diagram from part (a) to explain a government policy that might be effective in achieving the amount of orange production that fully reflects all social costs.

What is the purpose of The Council of Economic Advisers?
By taking into consideration the history of the Caribbean, the economic theories underpinning Caribbean development, as well as the features of the typical Caribbean economy, construct a hypothetical (ideal) economic model that you consider suitable for the economic development of the Caribbean. Ensure that you carefully explain/justify the reasoning behind the development of your model.
NOTES:
start with the models and theories discussed in this course. You should carefully examine each model. Based on this, you should be able to identify what aspects you think are relevant/necessary for the Caribbean context and which are not.
Once you have the aspects of the model you deem relevant, you need to organise them into the “ideal” model of Caribbean economic development. This should include model objectives and assumptions that describe the setting and the behaviour of the economic agents, model inputs, etc.
You will now need to analyse your new model. Be sure to clearly show…
We want identify the effect of years of education on wage. In the dataset, educ (X) is
measured in years, and wage (Y) is defined as hourly wage and measured in dollars.
Specifically, we want to estimate
