Pharmaceutical Marketing and Market Behavior
Examine the economics of the pharmaceutical industry. Marketing accounts for a much larger portion of the expenses in the pharmaceutical industry than in other healthcare industries. The FDA lifted restrictions on TV ads for prescription drugs in 1997, ollowing manufacturers to advertise drugs without inclusing lengthy disclaimers explaining the often numerous side effects.
How has this regulatory change affected the market for pharmaceuticals?
Why do you think so much more money is spent on marketing drugs than on marketing surgery or psychotherapy?
What is the role of pharmaceutical marketing within distribution control?
Great Debates: Keynes vs Hayek
This week we have a Rap Video and some Reading to do about a long-standing debate in Macroeconomics. I think the best way to do this is to watch the video, read the material, and then watch the video again.

And a fun video about spontaneous order (not required, but super cool)
Discussion Assignment
Each Discussion Assignment will need to be completed with a Main Post and two (2) Follow Up posts.
After you read, listen, or watch the assigned material, you will create a Main post that consists of your own personal Economic Analysis of the material. This should be written in the third person view and must include in-text citations for any claims, assertions, or facts that you include in your post. An in-text citation should be done in MLA format.

(Note: you can write your discussion in many different forms, as long as you provide analysis, prove that you completed the material, and show that you understand the material)
You must be careful to not espouse your opinion and do not just recap or summarize the material. Opinion is for Starbucks and does not belong in the classroom. We are here to use economics to learn about how economists view the world and to use critical thinking to discuss a particular topic for the week.
Your first post should be a critical economic analysis of the material for the week. Use the economics you have learned in the class to complete a first main post. Your first main post should be about 500 words.
After you complete a first main post, then you will need to respond to 2 other students with a follow-up post of about 150 to 250 words. This is a total of 3 posts. Main post (500 words) and 2 follow up posts (150 to 250 words each).
Please make sure to refer to the Discussion Rubric, this is how you will be graded for the assignment.
Decision making in a Global Economy
400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
In 1944, finance specialists and bankers from around the world met to discuss what the post-WWII monetary system would be. Given the instability of the pre-war period, the goal was to create a new system. The outcome of this was the Bretton Woods system, which had the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency linked to gold at $35 an ounce. All other currencies were tied to the dollar with limits on how much they could appreciate or depreciate. The system lasted until the 1970s, when the United States decided to move away from gold convertibility. The modern system is based on supply and demand for currency and a managed float. Discuss the following in your main post:
- The U.S. dollar remains the world’s reserve currency. Is this good for the United States, and if so, why?
- People usually think a “strong” dollar is good. Is this true for U.S. businesses, and does it help or hurt the U.S. balance of payments?

Market Structures and Cost Management
Market Structures and Cost Management” Please respond to the following:
- From the scenario for Katrina’s Candies, determine the appropriate type of market structure for the situation in question. Cite at least four (4) defining characteristics that have helped you reach this decision regarding the appropriateness of the chosen structure.
- Imagine that you are a manager of a chemical company. An accident has occurred in which chemicals leaked into the ground water nearby. The community is unaware of the accident. Compare the primary costs involved in cleaning up the water immediately (and thus confessing) versus hiding your culpability now and possibly paying more in the future.

Economics 301 Regresion Analysis
The study was based on the correlation of unemployment and crime. Needs to utilize an excel document in this analysis.
Submit the results of your regression analysis for the demand function you are estimating for your term project. Include:
- The data used to estimate the demand model
- The results of the analysis, an analysis of the results
- Description of remaining issue that needs to be addressed before the final paper is submitted.
Using your inventory of data collected, you will estimate and perform various analyses which will lead you to an evaluation. At the conclusion of your analysis you will address how this example can inform other real-world decision making in other organizations as well as your own decision-making and management skills.
Statistical Analysis and Tests
1. Evaluate Adj R2.
2. Each variable (independent variables have to be tested by using t-test, so as to see whether each of the variables (exogenous or independent) that you have include in the function has an effect on the dependent variable (left hand side).
3. For t-test, the following steps should be followed:
(i) H0: β0 = 0
(Null hypothesis)
HA: β0 ¹ 0
(Alternate hypothesis)
If t calculated > t table value (n-k) degrees of freedom
where:
n = # of observations
k = # of parameters, i.e. # of right hand side variables plus the constant
then H0 is rejected, i.e. the variable you are testing has an effect on the dependent variable.
4. Do F-test, by following these steps:
(i) H0: β0 = β1 = β2 = 0
(Null hypothesis)
HA: At least one β is not equal to zero
(Alternate hypothesis)
(ii) If F calculated > F table value
Then H0 is rejected, i.e. all the right-hand-side variables are important.
