Writing an Introduction for the Final Project
In this Application, you will complete the first step of your quantitative research proposal, which is your Final Project for this course. You will begin your research proposal by writing a thorough introduction.
To prepare for this Application:
• Review the Campbell and Stanley text, Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs for Research.
• Review the Final Project Description handout provided in this week's Learning Resources.
• Consider the focus of the quantitative research you would like to propose for this course, your personal interests, and the designs presented in Campbell and Stanley.
The assignment:
• Craft a 2- to 3-paragraph introduction for your final project that includes the following components:
o The background of the problem
o A brief problem statement
o The purpose of the study

Determine the profit-maximizing output for firm
: A perfectly competitive firm’s cost of producing q units of output is T C = 18 + 4q + q2. Its corresponding marginal cost is MC = 2q + 4. The firm faces a market price p = $24. Determine the profit-maximizing output for the firm and the corresponding..

What is the firms optimal capital-labor ratio
: Suppose a firm’s production function is: f(E,K) = 40K0.25E0.75 The corresponding marginal product functions are: MPK = 10K-0.75E0.75 and MPE = 30K0.25E-0.25 Suppose initially that the hourly wage is $9 and the price of each unit of capital is $15. If..

Preference methods of valuing non-marketed goods
: Economists tend to favor revealed preference methods of valuing non-marketed goods like environmental quality and natural resources. What are two reasons why revealed preference methods may lead to poor estimates of these values?

What is equilibrium wage and employment level
: In a particular industry, labor supply is Es = 10 + w and labor demand is Ed = 40 – 4w, where E is the level of employment and w is the hourly wage. What is the equilibrium wage and the employment level if the labor market is competitive? What is the..
