Your competitive intelligence team is predicting that the digby company will invest in adding capacity to their dug product this year. assume digby's product dug invests in increasing its capacity by 10% this year. because of this new information, your company anticipates all other products in the core segment will increase their capacity by the same amount. how much can the industry produce in the core segment the next year? consider only products primarily in the core segment last year. ignore current inventories. figures in thousands (000).product segment capacity next rounddug core 1200dune core 1450beetle core 1040bat core 1050new core 100adam core 1200if you take these numbers and add the 10% you get 6,644 for next year's capacity. however, the choices on the homework are not one of those, they are 8,585; 7385; 9564; 4840; 4025; 13288; and 8364 == this makes no sense.

Ajustification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. however, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in ohio. in particu- lar, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of nondefective items produced per worker hour (output). (i) carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question. (ii) does it seem likely that a firm’s decision to train its workers will be independent of worker characteristics? what are some of those measurable and unmeasurable worker characteristics? (iii) name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity. (iv) if you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you have convincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? explain.
