There Are Two OkunÕs Law Relationships Between Output and Unemployment Humberto Barreto and Frank Howland* Wabash College Abstract This paper corrects a fundamental error in the literature examining the OkunÕs Law relationship between the unemployment rate and the rate of growth of output. Since OkunÕs original work‚ biased estimates of the Okun Coefficient on Unemployment‚ output gaps‚ and potential GNP have been reported by authors who mistakenly assume that unbiased coefficient estimates

Negligence : An Economic Perspective To try and understand which rule of negligence is most efficient for use in real world environments and to estimate why so‚ we will take into account a hypothetical situation‚ erased of all complexities. We assume a case of accident such that there are only two parties and we also assume that probability of an accident occurring is absolute. The driver has three ways to drive : Rapid

Spartan billing department is a department that processes and bills invoices to customers. In current process‚ a supervisor audits around 10% billing account. Commercial accounts with special contracts will be handled through another process. For other accounts‚ the department just bills in regular process and no special process is required. The current process contains necessary steps but runs inefficiently. As an administrator of Spartan billing department‚ I will investigate the current process

A point estimation is a sample statistic that gives a good guess about a population parameter. In the same way‚ a point estimate of the mean overpayment is simply a good guess about what the average overpayment for the population is. Investigating all 1‚000 claims and obtaining the overpayment amount for each would either be impractical‚ unfeasible or both. Thus‚ the auditor deems a sample size of 50 claims to be adequate and sufficiently representative of the entire population. The mean overpayment

need to use the law of iterated expectations in proving the BLUE. With Assumptions (B)‚ the BLUE is given conditionally on Let us use Assumptions (A). The Gauss-Markov Theorem is stated below Under Assumptions (A)‚ the OLS estimators‚ are the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE)‚ that is 1. Unbias : 2. Best : Real data seldomly satisfy Assumptions (A) or Assumptions (B). Accordingly we should think that the Gauss-Markov theorem only holds in the never-never land. However‚ it is important

1. Decision tree for Friday pressing Mr. Ward is trying to decide on how many CDs to press on the first night of the festival. His intuition combined with his experience allowed him to make some predictions of demand. These take the form of probabilities. “The probabilities may be subjective estimates from managers or from experts in a particular field‚ or they may reflect historical frequencies. If they are reasonably correct‚ they provide a decision maker with additional information that can

Boeing’s situation after the unsuccessful 737 and 747 programs straight away demanded a new successful airplane intended at enormous returns. This new project also aimed at bringing great prestige‚ power‚ and influence to the company and managers that created it. Overall the project was divided into four equally important phases – Program Definition‚ Cost Definition‚ Supplier Management‚ and Production Management. The factors critical to the successful completion of the Boeing 767 program:
