DQ 1
The price of gasoline goes up and
down quickly, yet consumer demand for gasoline stays relatively steady. Does
this mean the demand for gasoline is inelastic, or is something else at work?
Explain.
DQ 2
Of the factors listed in the
textbook that are related to demand, identify 1 or 2 that were instrumental in

LATEST
DQ 1
Selecting a complete set of
independent variables is always an issue when using regression analysis to
estimate demand. For example, analysts often use price and advertising to
estimate quantity demanded. However, how do they know that these two variables
were sufficient? How do we know that we didn’t omit other variables which would
have had a significant impact on demand? How do we know that we didn’t include
variables that were not needed? Explain how analysts would answer such
questions.
DQ 2
Suppose you want to use regression
analysis to estimate the selling price of single family homes in a given
neighborhood. You assemble data on selling price, square footage, number of
bedrooms, number of bathrooms, age of the house, and lot size. Which
variable(s) are dependent? Which are independent? For each independent variable
you listed, indicate whether you would expect the sign of that variable to be
positive or negative, and why.

The text identified three goals of
macroeconomic policy:
- Minimize unemployment

Obviously, these goals have elements
that conflict with one another. Which do you think we are doing the best job of
accomplishing in the U.S. currently, and which do you think should receive
greater priority? Explain, and cite relevant statistics on the economy’s
performance where possible.

interaction between Fed policy and this issue. What do you think she should do

Why might these values differ at present? What (if anything) do you think must

interest rates impact our balance of trade? Explain your answers.
