Module 1 Short Responses – Question 1 In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so?
The influx of unskilled Irish immigrants into New York City in the 1840s and early 1850s drives down wages for other workers at the low end of the salary ladder.
The historical lens in this scenario is economic. The reason that I think this is that the scenario involves the economy.
Module 1 Short Responses – Question 2 In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so?
In 1908 Aram Pothier, an immigrant from Quebec, is elected governor of Rhode Island with strong support from the Québécois community.
The Lens in this scenario is political. I believe this because the scenario involves politics.
Module 1 Short Responses – Question 3 In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so?
Irish immigrants and first-generation Irish-Americans come to dominate the hierarchy of the American Catholic Church in the late 19th century.
This scenario is through the religious lens. My reasoning is that the scenario involves religion. Module 1 Short Responses – Question 4 In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so?
Immigration to the United States comes to be seen as a "rite of passage" for young Québécois
women in the early 20th century.
I believe this would be a social lens because the scenario is about a certain society or group of
people.

Tourism Economics focuses on understanding the economic impacts of tourism on a destination's economy. A key component of this field is the analysis of how tourism affects local employment. In many destinations, tourism acts as a major employment driver, offering various job opportunities in sectors such as hotels, restaurants, transportation, and entertainment. For instance, a coastal town that becomes a popular tourist destination might see a surge in employment in these sectors. This economic impact is significant as it:
A) Decreases overall employment in the town
B) Increases unemployment rates
C) Contributes to job creation and economic growth
D) Has no effect on the local job market*

Scenario and activity:
Managerial economics helps in estimating the product demand, planning of
production schedule, deciding the input combinations, estimation of cost of
production, achieving economies of scale and increasing the returns to scale.
It also includes determining price of the product, analyzing market structure to
determine the price of the product for profit maximization, which helps them to
control and plan capital in an effective manner. Successful mangers make
good decisions, and one of their most useful tools is the methodology of
managerial economics. Mr Kevin Buffett, the renowned chairman and CEO of
Bedfordshire Companies, invested $100 and went on to accumulate a
personal net worth of $30 billion. Buffett credits his success to a basic
understanding of managerial economics. Buffett's success is a powerful
testimony
Managerial economics has a very important role to play by helping
managements in successful decision making and forward planning. To

Which of the below statements does NOT reflect one of the economic impact of immigration (legal and illegal)?
Group of answer choices
Immigration (legal and illegal) INCREASES the wages of the native-born population by an estimated $402 billion a year (2013).
Immigrant workers (legal and illegal) make the U.S. economy (GDP) an estimated 11% larger ($1.6 trillion, in 2013).
The collective gain from immigration to the native-born population was $35 billion, This is referred to as the "immigration surplus."
Nighty seven point eight per cent of the gain in GDP from immigration goes to the immigrants themselves and the net benefit of immigration to the native-born population is quite small.

Scenario 2:
Maritza is 19 years old and recently graduated from high school. Like Mark, she would like to work in a clothing
store. Martiza believes that she can work well with customers and has always been interested in fashion.
However, she needs some special training to realize her goal. To get the training, Maritza must apply to the
government, which decides what training is available and who will be trained.
The government sets production quotas for the clothing industry. In fact, Maritza's present job is a state position
that requires her to figure out how much of each type of clothing the stores in her town will need in the coming
year. Forms from all towns are sent to the central planning committee, which then tells the factory managers how
much and what to manufacture. If cloth or metal for snaps and zippers are needed for defense or export
purposes, shortages may develop.

The Black Death: (a) Wages were higher after the Black Death because of diminishing returns. Our production model exhibits diminishing returns to labor: each additional unit of labor increases output by less and less. So if the amount of labor is reduced, the marginal product of labor — and hence the wage — increases. The reason is that capital stays the same: each remaining worker is able to work with more machines, so his productivity rises. In fourteenth-century Europe, the marginal workers could move to better land and discard old broken-down tools. Graphically, this can be seen by considering the supply-and-demand diagram for labor in Figure 4.2(b). If the supply of labor shifts back (because a large number of workers die), the equilibrium wage rate increases. Draw this graph — including the shift in the labor supply curve — to see the result for yourself. Mathematically, the result can be seen in the solution for the wage rate in our production model,…

Your boss, who loves geometry, is excited because he has heard that the company's new foreign branch is going to be
employing a polycentric approach to hiring. He believes this means they want to hire people who are good at math. While you
are trying hard not to laugh, you take the time to explain that this means the company will be focusing on:
finding the best person for the job, regardless of nationality.
the human resource practices of the home country.
the human resources practices of the host country.

Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution.
***Please provide an answer for the boxes below as well as the question under.
Every year, management and labor renegotiate a new employment contract by sending their proposals to an arbitrator, who chooses the best proposal (effectively giving one side or the other $3 million). Each side can choose to hire, or not hire, an expensive labor lawyer (at a cost of $100,000) who is effective at preparing the proposal in the best light. If neither hires a lawyer or if both hire lawyers, each side can expect to win about half the time. If only one side hires a lawyer, it can expect to win four fifths, or 0.8, of the time.
Use the given information to fill in the expected payoff, in dollars, for each cell in the matrix. (Hint: To find the expected payoff, multiply the probability of winning by the dollar amount of the payoff. Be sure to account for lawyer costs, which are incurred with certainty if a lawyer is…

market is p=105-q. where p is the price of
labor (wage) and q is the number of workers
employed. There are 100 people who are
willing to work for any wage. In this situation,
the unemployment rate (UR) has been
recorded at 5%. This means that the current
wages are at a level where the UR is 5%. Now,

Figure 2 represents the Texas labor market. In this simplified model, labor and capital are the only factors of production. The initial supply of labor is denoted by S0 and consists entirely of U.S. workers. The demand for labor is denoted by D. Quantity of workers are in thousands and the wage rate is for a 40-hour workweek.
(a) At labor market equilibrium, what is total weekly labor income?
(b) At labor market equilibrium, what is the weekly income earned by U.S. capital owners? (Note: the capital owners are on the demand side – the demand curve reflects their demand for labor -- so the consumer surplus is the capital owner’s income.)
Mexican labor migration yields a new labor supply curve, S1, which is the combination of domestic labor supply and Mexican labor. Given this:

Consider an economy which is divided into different sectors, each producing a differentiated product. Workers in each sector are organized in a trade union which monopolizes the supply of labour to all firms in the sector. Because of its monopoly position, the trade union in each sector may dictate the nominal wage rate to be paid by employers in that sector. However, employers are free to choose the level of employment. For simplicity, assume that the number of working hours for the individual worker is fixed, so total labour input is proportional to the number of workers employed. Workers in sector are educated and trained to work in that particular sector, so they cannot move to another sector to look for a job. If a worker fails to find a job in his sector, he therefore becomes unemployed. His real income will then be equal to the real rate of unemployment benefit . An employed worker in sector earns the real wage where is an index of the general price level, so his net income…
