Jury weighing evidence
Consider the following simplified view of a jury weighing evidence (treat the jury as a single decision maker). A defendant in a court case is accused of committing a crime. Independent of guilt (G) or innocence (I), with probability 3/4, the defendant possesses evidence. This evidence is in the set {d1, d2, d3}. When he possesses evidence, the probability of which document it is depends on whether he is guilty or innocent. We denote the probabilities with which di is realized, conditional on I or G, respectively, (and conditional on evidence being realized) by pIi and pGi. Suppose these are given by pI3 = 3/8, pI2 = 3/8, pI1 = 1/4, pG3 = 1/8, pG2 = 1/8, and pG1 = 3/4.
Assume the prior belief that the defendant is innocent is 3/8. Suppose that the jury believes that both guilty and innocent types of the defendant do not disclose d1, but both do disclose d2 and d3. What is the jury’s posterior belief that the defendant is innocent when it observes no document disclosed?
A particular model of used car comes in four categories: perfect, good, bad, and hopeless. There are equal numbers of cars in each category. The market consists of at least two potential buyers and sellers of the car. Assume that there are equal numbers of buyers and sellers. All agents are interested in maximizing the expected surplus they obtain from having a car net of any payments they give or receive. They obtain surplus of zero if they do not own a car. The table below gives both the buyer and the seller’s valuation of each type of car.
Category Buyer Seller
Perfect 48 46
Good 44 42
Bad 40 38
Hopeless 36 34
So, for example, if a buyer pays the price 44 for a perfect car, he obtains
net surplus of 48 − 44 = 4. If a seller receives the price 48 for her
hopeless car, then she obtains surplus of 48 − 34 = 14.
The game works as follows: Simultaneously each buyer announces a price that he is willing to pay for a car. Each seller decides whether or not to sell her car (and to whom to sell it). If more than one seller accepts the price of the same buyer, then one of the sellers is randomly selected to sell the car.
Find the equilibrium price (or prices) assuming that the sellers know the value of the car that they own, and buyers do not. Describe which cars are sold.
TASC standards to the CEC standards
Compare the In TASC standards to the CEC standards to identify at least two common themes. Explain how these themes are represented in each standard set and how they relate to the knowledge, skills, and values of effective teachers.
Describe how each set of standards addresses professional collaboration and student-driven, data-informed instructional decision-making.
According to the expectations of the profession expressed in the InTASC standards, describe how teachers are expected to assume the responsibilities of improving practice and advancing the profession.

Elasticity Of Demand
Pick a product or service that you consume on a regular basis and speculate on what the elasticity of demand might be for that product. What might be the income elasticity of demand for that product? Explain and support why you think the product has the elasticity that it does based on how price sensitive you think people are when it comes to this product or service.
Theory Of Self-Efficacy
critique the theory of Self-Efficacy using the internal and external criticism evaluation process.
The impact of price controls on the economy.
This past week we discussed the impact of price controls on the economy. There seems to be a big divide when it comes to the role of the market and the role of the government in today’s society. Use this week’s discussion as an opportunity to discuss your opinion on what the role of the government and the role of the market should be in allocating resources. How does the concepts we have discussed like price ceilings, price floors, surpluses, and shortages ect. play a role in your forming your opinion on the subject.

WH Framework
Scenario:
Steven J. Trzaska was the head of L’Oreal USA’s regional patent team, managing the procedure by which the company patented products. As an attorney barred in Pennsylvania, Trzaska had to adhere to professional rules of conduct established by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in addition to rules promulgated by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). In 2014, L’Oreal S.A., the French parent company of L’Oreal USA, enacted a global quota of patent applications each regional office had to file each year. Employees were informed that failure to meet the quota would negatively impact their careers and even their continued employment at L’Oreal. Meanwhile, L’Oreal USA simultaneously enacted a rule to increase the quality of patent applications filed with the USPTO. The second rule led to a decrease in number of patents that could be filed with the USPTO. Trzaska’s team would not be able to fulfill the patent quota.
Faced with the problem, Trzaska informed management that his team would not file patents that they did not believe in good faith were patentable. Several weeks after Trzaska’s meeting with the management, he was offered 2 severance packages that he did not accept. Finally, Trzaska was let go. Trzaska subsequently sued L’Oreal, alleging that he was fired for refusal to violate ethical rules that regulate the legal profession.
Create a WH Framework chart, similar to Exhibit 2.2. Refer to L’Oreal’s core values and the primary values in Exhibit 2.3 to determine the guidelines to include in the WH Framework.
Write an explanation of how you decided on the list of stakeholders and guidelines to include in your WH Framework. Address the following questions in your explanation:
Which stakeholders did Traszka and the management of L’Oreal cater to? Why?
What values did L’Oreal’s management choose when they made the decision to fire Trzaska? Why?
In addition to your explanation, address the following self-reflection questions:
How did the WH Framework help you analyze the situation?
Now that you’ve put together the framework, how does the WH Framework help managers with making business decisions?
What type of decisions would the WH Framework chart help you make as a manager?
Monetary Policy and Macroeconomic Dynamics
All variables in the model below are measured in percentage deviations from their long-run levels
(percentage deviations of gross rates in the cases of ináation and the interest rate).
Suppose that the dynamics of output (yt) are determined by the following intertemporal condition:
yt = Et (yt+1) + yt1 [it Et (t+1)] + ut
; (1)
where 0 < 1 captures the impact of past output dynamics on current output (for instance, because of habits in consumption behavior), > 0 is the elasticity of intertemporal substitution,
it
is the nominal interest rate between t and t + 1 decided by the central bank at time t, Et (:) is
the expectation operator, t+1 is ináation at t + 1, and ut
is an exogenous output demand shock.
Ináation is determined by the following modiÖed New Keynesian Phillips curve:
t = t1 + yt + Et (t+1) + zt
; (2)
where 0 < 1 captures persistence in ináation implied, for instance, by indexation mechanisms, > 0, 2 (0; 1) is the representative householdís subjective discount factor, and zt
is an exogenous
supply-side shock.
Finally, the central bank sets the interest rate to respond to ináation and output according to
the Taylor rule:
it = 1t + 2yt + t
; (3)
where the policy response coe¢ cients are such that 1 > 1 and 2 0, and t
is an exogenous
interest rate shock.
Assume that the shocks ut
, zt
, and t are such that:
ut = uut1 + “u;t; (4)
zt = z
zt1 + “z;t; (5)
and
t =
t1 + “;t; (6)
where the persistence parameters u
, z
, and are all strictly between 0 and 1, and “u;t, “z;t,
“;t are identically and independently distributed innovations with zero mean and variance
2
“u
,
2
“z
,
and
2
“
, respectively.
We can guess that the solution of the system (1)-(3) can be written as:
yt = yyyt1 + yt1 + yuut + yzzt + yt
; (7)
t = yyt1 + t1 + uut + zzt + t
; (8)
and
it = iyyt1 + it1 + iuut + izzt + it
; (9)
where the ís are elasticities that can be obtained with the method of undetermined coe¢ cients.
Explain why we make this guess based on the information I have given you.
Now assume that the parameters and are such that = = 0. What do you
think happens to yy, y, y, , iy, and i in this case
