5. The price of trade Suppose that Italy and Germany both produce oil and cheese. Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 4 barrels of oil while Germany's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 10 barrels of oil. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell thatItaly has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese andGermany has a comparative advantage in the production of oil. Suppose that Italy and Germany consider trading cheese and oil with each other. Italy can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than4 barrels of oil for each pound of cheese it exports to Germany. Similarly, Germany can gain from trade as long as it receives more than1/10 pound of cheese for each barrel of oil it exports to Italy. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of cheese in terms of oil) would allow both Germany and Italy to gain from trade? Check all that apply.

9 barrels of oil per pound of cheese
7 barrels of oil per pound of cheese
16 barrels of oil per pound of cheese
1 barrel of oil per pound of cheese

The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity.why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity
