Using data from 1988 for houses sold in Andover, Massachusetts, from Kiel and McClain (1995), the following equation relates housing price (price) to the distance from a recently built garbage incinerator (dist):

log(price) = 9.40 + 0.312 log(dist)
n = 135, R² = 0.162

(i) Interpret the coefficient on log(dist). Is the sign of this estimate what you expect it to be?
(ii) Do you think simple regression provides an unbiased estimator of the ceteris
paribus elasticity of price with respect to dist? (Think about the city's decision on where to put the incinerator.)

Norbert and suzie are both lineworkers for a utility company who have been working together for almost two years. norbert frequently tells suzie that the job is called "lineman" and not "linewoman," and thus, it is not a woman's job. he plays practical jokes on her such as hiding some of her tools and sabotaging her truck. he asks her when she plans on getting pregnant and staying at home to take care of her children and gives her copies of " wanted" ads for secretarial and waitress jobs. such behavior has kept suzie disturbed at work. if suzie complains about norbert's conduct:
