As a guideline, your paper should include:
 

  1. DESCRIBE: A description of the subject’s ethical beliefs and practices. In two pages (approximately) you should address the following: What challenges have they encountered in the workplace that have shaped their views on ethics? How have they addressed those challenges (their ethical reasoning)?
  2. ANALYZE: An analysis of the subject’s ethics.  How did he or she evolve their view of ethics?

What ethical theories are expressed or implied in his or her discussion of ethics.  Examine whether there were inconsistencies, deficiencies, inadequacies in his or her ethical theory. If there were no shortcomings, account for the strength of the subject’s ethical position. What motivated the leaders to act appropriately or inappropriately, in your opinion? This should be approximately two-three pages.

    1. SYNTHESIZE and EVALUATE: Do you agree with your subject’s approach to ethics? If not, why not, and if so, then why?  What did you learn from this interview and your research?  About two pages are adequate for this portion.

 
You are to summarize and analyze the content of the interview, not provide a verbatim transcript of the interview. This is due on Sunday of Week Six, and is worth 300 points. The grading rubric for this paper is provided in Course Information in Blackboard.

Economics – GR5410: Mathematical Methods in Economics
Homework 4

This problem set (PS) is due on Wednesday, December 9 at the beginning of class. The maximum score is 100 points. Be sure to review the syllabus for details about homework assignments an their grading!

Feel free to contact me or Cesar or Vinayak via e-mail if you have specific questions about the HW assignment.

Note that some Exercises have several parts, and each part may conceal more than one task for
you. Be sure to answer every question thoroughly for full credit!

Exercise 1 (16 points)
Suppose that you repeatedly toss a fair coin:
(a) What is the probability that you get TT (two heads in a row) before HT?
(b) What is the probability that you get TT before TH? What is the expected number of tosses
until you get HH for the first time?
(c) What is the expected number of tosses until you get HT for the first time?

Exercise 2 (20 points) This question connects Riemann integration to Lebesgue integration. Throughout, we consider the integral of a function f over a compact interval [a, b].
(a) Suppose f is unbounded (on this interval), show it is not Riemann integrable.
(b) Suppose f is discontinuous at a positive measure set A, show it is not Riemann integrable.
(Hint: For each n, let An be the set of points x
such that limsupx→x0 f(x) ≥ liminfx→x0 f(x)+1n. Argue that the sets An are increasing in n, with limnAn = A Thus some An has positive
measure. Note that in any partition of [a, b], if a subinterval contains some point x  HW40 ∈ An
then the sup and inf of f(x) differ by at least 1/n on this subinterval. Argue why this implies
that the upper and lower Riemann sums cannot converge to the same number.
(c) Conversely suppose f is bounded and continuous almost everywhere, show it is Riemann
integrable.(Hint: Without loss of generality assume [a, b] = [0, 1] and 0 ≤ f ≤ 1. Fix any
> 0, it suffices to demonstrate a partition such that the upper and lower Riemann sums differ
by no more than . Consider the partition Pn that divides [0, 1] evenly into 2n
subintervals.
Let Bn be the union of those subintervals in Pn such that the sup and inf of f(x) differ by at
least /2 on each of these subintervals. Argue that the sets Bn are decreasing in n and that
each point in the limit set limnBn is a point where f is discontinuous. Thus m(limnBn) = 0,
so that m(Bn) ≤ /2 for some n. Argue why this implies that Pn is a desired partition.
(d) Show that when f is Riemann integrable, it is also Lebesgue integrable, and the two forms of
integration lead to the same answer. (Hint: argue that the Lebesgue integral is larger than
every lower Riemann sum, and smaller than every upper Riemann sum)
Exercise 3 (16 points) A gambler starts with 0 dollars. On each day, he either wins an additional
dollar, or loses all his money, with equal probabilities.
(a) Write down the Markov chain (state space and transition matrix) that keeps track of the
gambler’s total earnings at the end of each day.
(b) Is this Markov chain irreducible? Is it aperiodic?
(c) What is the distribution of the random variable that represents the first time that the gambler
has no money again?
(d) Is the Markov chain recurrent, and is it positive-recurrent?
(e) Find the stationary distribution for this Markov chain.
(f) Verify that the distribution of Xn converges to the stationary distribution as n → ∞. (Hint:
prove by induction that the distribution of Xn agrees with the stationary distribution on the
states {0, 1, 2, …….., n − 1}.
Exercise 4 (16 points)
A machine has two parts, A and B. Each part is checked at the beginning of each day. If at
least one of the two parts is working, the machine is in working order and neither part is replaced.
If neither part is working, the machine is in repair for the day, and both parts are replaced with
working parts. If both A and B are working, each will fail independently with probability 0.1 the
next day. If A is working but B is not, then A fails with probability 0.2 the next day (and B
continues to fail). And if B is working but A is not, then B fails with probability 0.3 the next day.
(a) Determine the transition matrix for the day-to-day status of the machine, on states 1, 2, 3,
4 which code (in order) the parts that are working: A and B, A but not B, B but not A,
neither A nor B.
(b) Is this Markov chain irreducible? Is it aperiodic?
(c) Does this Markov chain admit a stationary distribution? If so, find it.
(d) What is the long-run fraction of days on which part A is working?
Exercise 5 (16 points) Suppose that two (standard) fair dice are rolled and their scores recorded.
(a) Describe the sample space Ω for the experiment and define the probability space associated
with Ω.
(b) Define a random variable X as the sum of the values on the two dice. Determine the new
probability space generated by the random variable X and describe the probability measure
induced by X.
(c) Define a random variable U as the minimum score of the two dice, and the random variable
V as the maximum score of the two dice. Determine the probability space generated by each
of the random variables U and V. Describe the probability measure induced by U and by V.
(d) Determine the P r{U = u, V = v} for each pair (u, v) in the Cartesian product of the probability spaces you found in the previous part.
Exercise 6 (16 points)
A jar has 3 coins, one of which is fair, another is double-headed, and the last one is double-tailed.
You first pick a random coin and toss it once. Suppose H comes up:
(a) Given this, what is the probability that the chosen coin is fair/double- headed/double-tailed?
(b) If you then pick another coin from the remaining 2 coins in the jar, what is the probability
that the new coin is fair/double-headed/double-tailed?
(c) Afterwards you toss the second coin twice in a row. What is the probability that you see TT
(again, conditional on the initial observation of H)?

Often, in engaging in survey research, we need to control for factors that have an effect on the dependent variable (DV) but for which we do not have hypotheses (they might matter, but we don’t care how they matter). These factors are called control variables. They often take the form (in surveys, anyway) of background questions.
Using the various materials available in Weeks 4 and 6, construct a “Background Questions Section” of a survey using the instructions given below.
Your questions/items should inquire in a polite, useful, precise manner, in line with Prof. Heiman’s advice on survey questions about the following data:
Respondent’s age.
Respondent’s gender.
Respondent’s income.
Number of years respondent studied abroad.
Years lived in the USA by the respondent.
Time in years in the respondent’s current job.
Hint: Use intervals, where appropriate (e.g., “0-2 years living in the USA”). Indicate, as part of the survey, how each question is scored (how each possible response would be turned into a number.
Create the WHOLE Background Questions section, including response areas (for example, check boxes, or fill-in lines, or something else. The survey format should be USER FRIENDLY. Do NOT copy the words I have given you above. That is not a move that will earn a passing grade.
This assignment is worth up to an extra 7% of the final grade, a generous chunk of XC.

In Assignment 2, you began to reflect on your skills and goals and how the 10 Skills have helped you reach accomplishments. Your understanding of the skills have been refined, and now it‘s time to reflect on your strengths and areas for growth again in order to develop a plan moving forward.
    For this assignment, you‘ll identify three skills that you‘d like to focus on and develop a plan for. As you think of which skills you‘d like to improve upon, consider choosing skills at varying levels. You might, for example, choose a skill that you are already strong in, but would be excited to continue exploring and building upon, as well as a skill that you might have more room for growth in. At the end of the assignment, you‘ll leave with the beginning of a tangible plan for personal and professional development that you can review with the Career Center team.
    Your goal for this assignment is to: Practice your communication skill by using the Skill Development Plan Template to outline a plan for developing skills to support a successful learning experience and career. (See the Skill Development Plan Sample.)
    Steps to complete: In Week 9, complete and submit your Skill Development Plan using the following steps:
    STEP 1: Identify the targeted skill. Summarize your strengths and areas of improvement in this skill area. Then, identify your desired outcomes around this skill area and write a positive goal statement. Complete the following sections of the template: Target Skill, Strengths, Areas of Improvement, Desired Outcome, and Goal Statement.
    STEP 2: Specify the actions you can take to work towards your goals, with specific strategies and practices that you can apply. Identify any potential obstacles and challenges to achieving your goal. Complete the following sections of the template: Practices for Growth, Action Steps, and Potential Obstacles and Challenges.
    STEP 3: Keeping your action plan in mind, identify trusted supporters and university resources that can help you in your skill development plan. Complete the following sections of the template: Key Supporters and Supporting University Resources.
    STEP 4: Reflect on the connections between skill development and your overall personal, academic, and professional goals. Complete the following sections of the template: Benefits From Change and Connections to Personal, Academic, and Career Goals.
    STEP 5: Complete Steps 1‐4 for the two other skills you have identified.
    STEP 6: Save the template with your completed responses as a Word file titled Your Name, WRK100_Assignment 3 Skill Development Plan and submit in Blackboard in Week 9.
