Case Study: Employee Absence
by Stephen Adams

Joan, an employee of Great American Market, was warned about her excessive
absenteeism several times, both verbally and in writing. The written warning
included notice that "further violations will result in disciplinary actions," including
suspension or discharge.
A short time after the written warning was issued, Joan called work to say she was
not going to be in because her babysitter had called in sick and she had to stay
home and care for her young child. Joan's supervisor, Sylvia, told her that she had
already exceeded the allowed number of absences and warned that if she did not
report to work, she could be suspended. When Joan did not report for her shift,
Sylvia suspended her for fifteen days.
In a subsequent hearing, Joan argued that it was not her fault that the babysitter
had canceled, and protested that she had no other choice but to stay home. Sylvia
pointed out that Joan had not made a good faith effort to find an alternate
babysitter, nor had she tried to swap shifts with a co-worker. Furthermore, Sylvia
said that the lack of a babysitter was not a justifiable excuse for being absent.
Questions:
1) Was the suspension fair?
2) Did Sylvia act responsibly?
3) Should Joan be fired?
4) Should the babysitter be fired?
5) Was Sylvia fair in her actions?
6) Is there ever a solution for working mothers?
7) Should working fathers take turns staying home?

Suppose that kenji, an economist from an am talk radio program, and lucia, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing over health insurance. the following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: lucia: a popular topic for debate among politicians as well as economists is the idea of providing government assistance for health benefits. kenji: i think it is oppressive for the government to tax people who take care of themselves in order to pay for health insurance for those who are obese. lucia: i disagree. i think government funding of health insurance is useful to ensure basic fairness. the disagreement between these economists is most likely due to . despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials. minimum wage laws do more to harm low-skilled workers than them. tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.

Suppose that two firms produce differentiated products and compete in prices. as in class, the two firms are located at two ends of a line one mile apart. consumers are evenly distributed along the line. the firms have identical marginal cost, $60. firm b produces a product with value $110 to consumers. firm a (located at 0 on the unit line) produces a higher quality product with value $120 to consumers. the cost of travel are directly related to the distance a consumer travels to purchase a good. if a consumerhas to travel a mile to purchase a good, the incur a cost of $20. if they have to travel x fraction of a mile, they incur a cost of $20x. (a) write down the expressions for how much a consumer at location d would value the products sold by firms a and b, if they set prices p_{a} and p_{b} ? (b) based on your expressions in (a), how much will be demanded from each firm if prices p_{a} and p_{b} are set? (c) what are the nash equilibrium prices?
