1. Conservative commentators in the US often attribute the slow recovery to market
concerns about what Obama might do in the future. In particular, it is often argued
that people are worried that he might raise taxes and spending in the future, and
that this is holding back the recovery today.

(a) Use the market-clearing Real Business Cycle model developed in chapters 9-11,
to analyze the effects of expectations of higher future government spending and
(lump-sum) taxes. Under what conditions can this explain a slow recovery?

(b) Now suppose that taxes are not lump-sum, but instead have the effect of
reducing incentives and productivity. Explain how this would change your analysis.
Would the ‘Obama effect’ become more or less convincing?

2. There has been much debate among economists about Classical versus Keynesian
business cycle models. It would be nice to be able to distinguish between them.
Some people have argued that we can do this by looking at how employment responds
to productivity shocks. Explain why this is. Compare and contrast what each model
predicts about how employment responds to productivity shocks. If possible, use
graphs to illustrate your answers.

3. There has been much debate among economists about Classical versus Keynesian
business cycle models. It would be nice to be able to distinguish between them.
Some people have argued that we can do this by looking at the correlation between
output and the price level. Explain why this is. Compare and contrast what each
model predicts about the correlation between output and the price level. If
possible, use graphs to illustrate your answers.

4. Use the Keynesian IS-LM model to provide one possible explanation of the recent
financial crisis. Use a graph to illustrate your answer. Describe how monetary and
fiscal policies could be used to respond to the crisis, and discuss the pros and
cons of each

Macroeconomics
A price-discriminating monopolist faces the following inverse demand functions:

In Market One it is P1 = 20-Q1 where P1 is the price charged in Market 1 and Q1 is
the quantity demanded in Market one. In Market Two it is P2 = 15-1.5Q2 where P2 is
the price charged in Market 2 and Q2 is the quantity demanded in Market Two.
Marginal cost is constant at $5. Find the profit-maximizing quantity and price
charged in each market. Calculate profit in each market and joint profit.

What would this firm’s price, quantity and profit be if it were constrained to
charge the same price to all consumers?

Assume a continuous-time solow growth model with no technical progress. The economy
is closed and there is no government sector. Labor supply is given by L_t = e^nt,
n>0. The average propensity to save out of GDP is s,, with 0<s<1. GDP is given by a
Cobb-douglas aggregate producntion function Qt=AK^aL^(1-a), where A is constant.
Solve for steady state of kt where kt=K/L

Suppose the Solow model from this question applies to two seperate economies i=1
and i =2. The economies are the same except for A1>A2 and s1<s2. Let c(i)* and y
(i)* be the steady state consumption per labor and output per labor for economy
i=1,2. Show how C(1)* comparse to c(2)* and how y(1*) compares to y(2)*. (Assume at
equilbrium for both k of each economy such that k1=k2). Then solve for k1>k2 and
k2>k1.

1. The Internet may not make corporations obsolete, but corporations will have to
change their business models. Do you agree? Why or why not?

2 The Relationship Between Ethical, Social, and Political Issues in an Information
Society.

“The introduction of new information technology has a ripple effect, raising new
ethical, social, and political issues that must be dealt with on individual,
social, and political levels.

These issues have five moral dimensions: information rights and obligations,
property rights and obligations, system quality, quality of life, and
accountability and control.” Give a business example of each.

Write an 8-to 10-page report for the CIO of Kudler Fine Foods.

This report should cover the material from the previous weeks, providing a
comprehensive look at the key safeguards needed for the project at each stage of
the systems development processes.

The report should have clear recommendations to ensure that the final frequent
shopper program system is properly secured against likely threats.

Include the requirements for future audit provisions the internal staff may use to
validate the security measures in the system

Cybersquatting
In some cases, individuals engage in cybersquatting so that they can sell the
domain names to companies expensively. In other cases, companies engage in
cybersquatting by registering domain names that are very similar to their
competitors’ domain names in order to generate traffic from people who misspell Web
addresses. Discuss each practice in terms of its ethical nature and legality. Is
there a difference between the two practices? Support your answer.

The filter bubble
Eli Pariser, the author of the book The Filter Bubble focuses attention on the way
information is being presented to individual Internet users due to the use of data
filtering practices. Please watch Pariser’s TED Talk for this discussion activity.

Discuss your reaction to this issue and the implications this issue causes. Can you
see the pros and cons of this from the business point of view versus the personal
point of view? Discuss your thoughts. Do you support this? What impact does this
have on you, from a personal perspective? Do you think this is an issue that can be
addressed?

Compare U.S. and E.U. policies and underlying philosophies of privacy. Include references to monitoring and privacy in the workplace, surveillance, and disclosure/data privacy. In your estimation, could self-regulation be effective or does it need to be supplemented by laws and regulations? Is the European model worth emulating in the U.S.? What ambiguities exist?

Computer Network Security
After a computer forensics investigation, you require to meet with your section or
group of fellow investigators and critique the case in an effort to improve your
work. Explain how to make a self-evaluation of your work by answering the following
questions and write a report:

1. How could you improve your performance in the case?
2. Did you expect the results you found? Did the case develop in ways you did
not expect?
3. Was the documentation as thorough as it could have been?
4. What feedback has been received from the requesting source?
5. Did you discover any new problems? If so, what are they?
6. Did you use new techniques during the case or during research?
