Week Four: Discussion
Ends May 3
Must post first.
Subscribe
The topics for week 4 follow the format “Topic #.” There are 3 topics.
Participation Rules
Students must post a minimum of 3 entries per week in at least 2 separate days. Notice, that it is not 3 entries per topic, it is 3 entries in total. Do not wait until the last minute to respond to the threaded discussion. Doing it will certainly not benefit the group learning experience.
Content Rules
All entries need to meet the criteria of being content driven, complete, considerate, and 1 idea/1 paragraph:
Content Driven – this requirement means that the student actively thinks about the question or position stated and adds value to the discussion. Comments such as “I agree” or “That’s right” are not content driven and will not count as valid entries.
Short but Complete – Limit your posts to 1-2 paragraphs. However, thoughts need to be fully developed to ensure that when other students and the instructor read the comments they are cogent and coherent. This also means that the entries need to be written in proper business communications format.
Considerate – The comments are academic discussions not personal attacks. While you are certainly encouraged to express positions that disagree with other’s thinking, your thoughts must be presented as academic alternative positions with justification and examples to support your alternative position. I will indicate to the entire class what comments are personal attacks and these comments will not count as valid entries.
1 idea/1 paragraph – The entire paragraph should present ONE single idea. If you have other idea, that should go in a separate paragraph. Within a paragraph, the 1st sentence reflects the most important message. Following sentences support the idea mentioned in the 1st sentence. The last sentence concludes the idea.
Clearly label the topic (Topic One, Topic Two or Topic Three) you are discussing.
Grading Rules
Threaded discussions start on Monday and end on Friday midnight of each week, and grading will be done on Monday of the next week. However, I will moderate the discussions on Wednesdays and Fridays of each week and give some feedback. In terms of grading, if you post 3 or more entries that meet the previous criteria (Content Driven, Complete and Considerate) you will get 100 points. If you post 2 valid entries, you will get 70 points, and if you post only 1 valid entry, you will get 40 points.
Topic One: Rent Control and Price Ceiling
Go to our Library, Streaming Video Catalog (http://nu.libguides.com/streaming), Films on Demand section and search for Teaching Tools for Microeconomics by John Stossel (the screen you will see is below).
Watch Segment 6. Price Controls: Unintended Consequences (5 minutes) and answer: Would you support rent control in your city? Why?
Topic Two: Black Markets
Tickets to athletic events, concerts and other venues are often resold at higher than original prices. In some states, scalping is outright illegal, while in other states, scalping is legal under certain circumstances.
You may have your own opinion about scalping, and it may be related to moral issues. I would like you to use some of the concepts you have learned in this course to analyze the issue and answer the following questions:
1. Is the original ticket price necessarily an accurate measure of the equilibrium price?
2. Who are the winners and losers in scalping?
Topic Three: News and microeconomics
This week we focused on price controls and the market for labor.
To start this discussion, any student can post a link for a news about a current issue that relates to price controls or labor market. Add a comment to entice others to read your article and participate in the discussion.

– Answer the two questions. – 1000 minimum, 1500 maximum words per question – Minimum of 10 Academic References per question – Please refrain from using CHAT GPT – Assignment must be written in United Kingdom English

Read the article then answer question 1,2 and 3. Define the key terms in each question, use economic vocabulary, use the correct economic diagram to answer each question, and use real world examples as well as appropriate quotes from the article to answer each question (only 1,2 and 3). also read all the file below that explain the assigment and follow it, also please read the marking scheme and follow it for a 80% mark,

The goal of the final (individual) project is to apply the econometric tools discussed in class to an economic or business problem chosen by the student. The topic of the project could be inspired by an issue discussed in a course or based on real events. After having identified a topic of interest, the second step is to gather data that can be used in the empirical investigation. The deliverable for the project is a report that should be max 10 pages long (font 12, spacing 1.5) with the following structure:
Introduction: explanation of the topic of your project, its relevance, the main findings in the literature, and a brief discussion of your results.
Survey of the literature: here you discuss a few articles/papers that have investigated the topic. It is probably a good idea to start with the earlier papers and explain in reasonable detail the technique, data, and results. The discussion of latest papers on the topic should be related to the earlier ones: what are the latest papers adding or doing different compared to the earliest ones? different data and/or econometric technique? are their results different?
Model: provide an explanation of the empirical model that is used in the project. It can be a model suggested by economic theory or an empirical model inspired by the problem at hand.
Data: report the data source, the variables included in the dataset, and the sample size
Empirical Application: in this section you discuss the results of the model estimation and the econometric issues that you addressed in arriving to the final specification. In the final specification you might have dropped some irrelevant variables, played with the functional form, allowed for heteroskedasticity, serial correlation, stochastic trends, endogeneity, etc.
Conclusion: summarize the results of your project and whether they confirm or refute earlier results. The tools learned in class are: linear regression, with one and multiple regressors, hypothesis testing, panel data, nonlinear regression models, binary dependant variables, time series, instrumental variable regression, you have to Use pyhton for the regression, please make sure no plagiarizing at all and don′t make this too advanced.
for python, the tutor must be familiar with matplotlib, ggplot, pandas, statsmodel, numpy. The tools learned in class are linear regression with one or multiple variables, Nonlinear regression, panel data, binary dependent variables, instrumental variable regressions

I need an Econometrics paper on the impact of education on employment rates. The project is done on python already by me, I ran the regressions and will provide the code. I need a 10pg paper talking about the project and the code I have. I need someone who knows about python coding, and can write a research paper on my topic.
prepare an econometrics research paper analyzing the regression model you chose (Which is already done and will be used to write the paper)

1. A paper, 10 pages maximum, not including the appendix. (Do not single-space.)
2. An appendix, containing computer output of all results reported in the paper and the web page addresses where the data can be found.
3. All data used in the project, so that your results can be verified. (Send me the data as a Gretl or excel data file.)

Also Tesco has used acquisition strategy in its expansion to South Korea, Thailand, and Poland; used joint ventures in China and India. So I guess you can mention it’s (tesco′s) successful cases before as part of your reasoning?
Include the advantages and disadvantages of both alternative approaches from a managerial economics perspective.
Essential: Please only use credible sources such as The Financial Times, The Guardian, Reuters, jstor, Research Gate, and New York Times
Use sources for example when writing about the previous acquisitions and joint ventures.
