Summarize, analyze, and compare the views of Smith, Marx, Keynes, Schumpeter, and one other “worldly philosopher” of your choosing represented in Teachings from the Worldly Philosophy on the long-term future of “the economy” or “capitalism” (Smith and Malthus did not use the term, but each had thoughts about the future of the economy they described).

Philosophy on the long-term future of “the economy” or “capitalism”

ALERT: You will need the following book to do this essay! Teachings from the Worldly Philosophy Robert L. HeilbronerApr 1997 W. W. Norton & Company Part 1.

Respond to the following in thoughtful, well-organized essays. Engagement with relevant course materials is essential.

You should use brief, informal parenthetical citations to identify sources (just the author’s last name and a brief title of the document or a page number). Approximately 4-5 pages (750-1000 words).

What do you see when you compare the coefficients on RootCause estimated in those two regressions? Why do we see those results in 2 and 3?

Math/Physic/Economic/Statistic Problems

Create a 1000 observation dataset. Generate variables RootCause and OtherThing as independent, uncorrelated variables each drawn from a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance

1. Create a set of normal error terms with mean 0 and variance 1. Let Outcome = 1 + RootCause + 3OtherThing + errors.

1. Draw a graphical representation of the data generating process (DGP) involving the variables Outcome, RootCause, and OtherThing, that is, show by drawing arrows how these three variables relate to each other in the data you generated. Are RootCause and OtherThing independent?

If you think they are independent, how would you represent graphically that they are independent in your DGP? If you think they are not independent, how would you represent graphically that they are not independent in your DGP?

2. Regress Outcome on RootCause. Report and interpret the result. Did you estimate the causal effect of RootCause on Outcome with this regression? Did you estimate the causal effect of RootCause on Outcome with this regression?

If you think you were able to estimate this causal effect, why do you think you were able to do so with this regression? If you think you were not able to estimate this causal effect, why do you think you were not able to do so with this regression?

3. Regress Outcome on RootCause and OtherThing. Report and interpret the result. Did you estimate the causal effect of RootCause on Outcome?

4. Compare the results of the regressions you ran in 2 and 3.

What do you see when you compare the coefficients on RootCause estimated in those two regressions? Why do we see those results in 2 and 3?
Problem set 8

Clear your work space and create a new data set with 1000 observations. Generate variable RootCause following a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance

1. Generate variable OtherThing = 2RootCause + noise where noise follows a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1. Create a set of normal error terms with mean 0 and variance 1. Let Outcome = 1 + RootCause + 3OtherThing + errors.

2. Regress Outcome on RootCause. Report and interpret the result. Did you estimate the causal effect of RootCause on Outcome with this regression?

3. Regress Outcome on RootCause and OtherThing. Report and interpret the result.

Did you estimate the causal effect of RootCause on Outcome? If you think you were able to estimate this causal effect, why do you think you were able to do so with this regression? If you think you were not able to estimate this causal effect, why do you think you were not able to do so with this regression?

4. Compare the results of the regressions you ran in 2 and 3. What do you see when you compare the coefficients on RootCause estimated in those two regressions?

Why do we see those results in 2 and 3? In your answer, explain how those results are related to the question whether the regression of Outcome on RootCause and OtherThing meets the conditional independence assumption.

Analyze the below scenario from Chapter 13 of the Whisenand textbook. You will then write and submit a memorandum, using the document template attached for content and format.

problem anyalysis and response memo

You will analyze the below scenario from Chapter 13 of the Whisenand textbook. You will then write and submit a memorandum, using the document template attached for content and format.

Scenario:

A local restaurant/bar in your area started featuring live amateur rock bands on weekends and the bands draw large crowds of young people.

Over the past two months, noise complaints have tripled in the area; citizens have called in and mailed in complaints of excessive trash, drunken bar patrons urinating in their yards, drug use in the area, fights in the street, speeding vehicles, and an increase in property damage. Drunken driving arrests have increased and have been linked to the bar. Also, two of the band’s staff members were arrested for possession of firearms.

The restaurant owner has ample security/bouncers and has done all he can do to mitigate problems, but he is making a lot of money and is in compliance with all the city’s requirements in terms of zoning, permits, business license, and so on. As a police manager, what steps would you take using the COP/POP philosophy to ensure this problem was solved?
