Description Listed below are several summary statements from the 2010 Census report: The official poverty rate in 2010 was 15.1 percent—up from 14.3 percent in 2009. This was the third consecutive annual increase in the poverty rate. Since 2007, the poverty rate has increased by 2.6 percentage points, from 12.5 percent to 15.1 percent. In 2010, 46.2 million people were in poverty, up from 43.6 million in 2009—the fourth consecutive annual increase in the number of people in poverty. Between 2009 and 2010, the poverty rate increased for non-Hispanic Whites (from 9.4 percent to 9.9 percent), for Blacks (from 25.8 percent to 27.4 percent), and for Hispanics (from 25.3 percent to 26.6 percent). For Asians, the 2010 poverty rate (12.1 percent) was not statistically different from the 2009 poverty rate.1 The poverty rate in 2010 (15.1 percent) was the highest poverty rate since 1993 but was 7.3 percentage points lower than the poverty rate in 1959, the first year for which poverty estimates are available. The number of people in poverty in 2010 (46.2 million) is the largest number in the 52 years for which poverty estimates have been published. Between 2009 and 2010, the poverty rate increased for children under age 18 (from 20.7 percent to 22.0 percent) and people aged 18 to 64 (from 12.9 percent to 13.7 percent), but was not statistically different for people aged 65 and older (9.0 percent).2 Source: http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/data/incpov...

Description This assignment is designed to show how the economic theory of 3rd-degree price discrimination is implemented in the airline industry and reflected in airline pricing. To obtain some limited price data, choose any city-pair and two competing airlines. A network and low-cost-carrier make an interesting comparison, but any airlines of interest are acceptable. For each airline, obtain the 4 prices for a typical round-trip itinerary with bookings 1 day in advance, and then for 1, 2 and 4 weeks in advance of the departure date. Itineraries with closer departure dates are more likely to be purchased by business travelers. Leisure travelers, on the other hand, usually book well in advance of the travel date. To isolate the effects of advance purchase, the itineraries should depart and return the same days of the week at approximately the same times of day. Try to avoid the influence of holidays or other seasonal effects on demand. Use the airlines’ websites for all fare information. **I HAVE PROVIDED THE ABOVE RESEARCH INFORMATION. SEE ATTACHED** In a short paper, first explain the theory of 3rd-degree price discrimination using a graphical model. Use the model to explain how the airline determines the price and quantity of seats for passengers traveling for business and leisure. Next, discuss how airlines actually practice price discrimination. Then, present your hypothesis, your specific expectation of what the price data will show as evidence of the practice of price discrimination. Follow this with your research methodology including the choice of airlines, the itinerary, class of service and fares, and sources of data. Then, present the data. A simple table or a graph may be the best method for showing the itineraries and fares. Finally, discuss whether the data provide evidence of price discrimination (because of small sample size, the data may be conflicting). Draw appropriate conclusions. An introduction should begin the paper with the conclusion demonstrating how the objective was met. Incidentally, this organization is typical of a research paper. There is no page limit, but 3 to 4 pages not including the title page, reference page, and any appendices, should be sufficient. Incorporate the standard elements of APA style including running head, page numbers, section headings, citations, and references.
Description For each of the following situations, the market system has failed and/or just will not allocate resources efficiently: Situation 1: Firm A produces cement sifters. The process includes the melting of metals and chemicals which give the sifters strength. In the production process, waste is produced and released into the river that runs alongside of the plant. Situation 2: Some states allow students to attend certain universities within the state tuition free if they are a resident of that state. As a result of this policy, the state’s population is more educated and more productive in the workplace than many other states. Situation 3: You live in a small subdivision with several residents. The subdivision has one short dirt road that provides access to all the homes. Bob, one of the residents of the subdivision, just inherited a large sum of money and decides to have the road in the subdivision paved. After the paving, Bob asked the other residents to pay their fair share of the costs for the paving, but they all refused. Situation 4: The President of the United States has determined that the cost associated with national defense has become too expensive. In an effort to reduce costs and balance the budget, the President has asked the public to voluntarily pay for their fair share of the costs associated with national defense. One of his advisors insists that this would not work, another advisor thinks it’s good policy. Which advisor is correct? Deliverables: Using the situations above, prepare a 5-10 page Microsoft Word document that addresses the above situations and meets APA standards. Include a summary section in your report that contains 5-7 bullet points identifying your major findings or conclusions of your paper.
