Imagine you are an economic consultant to the national government of a developing country. A multinational corporation (MNC) has announced it wants to build a major production facility in the country, which will be the first from the MNC. Write a memo to the president in which you present an argument either in favor or opposed to allowing the MNC to build the facility. The memo should include at least 2 benefits and 2 potential drawbacks, but should present a case why you chose to be in favor or opposed. Lastly, include two policy recommendations to maximize domestic benefits if the president decides to approve the project (even if you argued against).

The climatologist you were consulting with last week has moved on to look at the effects of hurricanes. The hurricanes dataset includes the estimated damage caused by each hurricane in millions of 2013 dollars (damage_norm). The climatologist would like to know whether the average damage is over $1 billion (i.e., a value of 1000 for damage_norm). The climatologist decides to use a � = .05 significance level with a two-sided test. a. Examine a histogram of the damage amounts and comment on its characteristics. b. Why might it be helpful to use the median damage, rather than the mean damage caused by the hurricanes? From the perspective of statistical inference, what might be the drawback of using the median, instead of the mean? c. What is the best guess for the median damage caused by hurricanes? d. What test statistic will you use for a test of the median? (Explain how you found your answer.) e. Find the p-value for the test of the median. Explain what this p-value represents in the context of this research scenario. f. What conclusion should the climatologist draw about hurricane damage? g. The climatologist doesn’t understand why his best guess for the damage of hurricanes seems to conflict with the conclusion you said he should draw from the statistical test. How would you explain this apparent conflict to him?
