I) Read the chapters (chapters 8 and 9) on the early Baroque period. As you read, please make note of the approximate beginning and ending dates for this period and its general historical outline (for example, what was happening in politics and culture at the time?). Also, please make note of the major genres of this period (such as the Opera), and what are the features that distinguish one from the other. Please note that chapter 9 is a pivot chapter that helps us transition to the material that we will be listening to next week.

II) Listen to the musical examples for the music of the early Baroque period contained in the audio CD’s that come with the textbook.

III) Select at least two of those examples and do this:

A) Post a short essay with our personal reaction to the music that we are listening to this week, and

B) Read the essays posted by other students and respond to those ideas.

You are free to post at any time this week, but do keep in mind that the forum will only be available for one week.

Here are the specifics:

1) About the essay:

1.1) The essay should be at least 300 words in length (but of course could be longer).

1.2) The essay should engage at least two listening examples of your choice from this period. You should listen to all the examples, but I encourage you to focus your writing on those examples that you find most interesting. If you wish to write about more than two examples that’s OK too!

1.3) The content of the essay is your own subjective reaction to the music. However, this week we are transitioning away from “Early Music” (the music of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the early Baroque periods), to music that may sound relatively more modern and familiar. For example, it is likely that very few (if any) of us had heard of Guillaume de Machaut, Guillaume Dufay, or Palestrina. But it is likely that many of us have heard of Johann Sebastian Bach. Although this is our own subjective reaction to the music, we now have the music of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance as a point of reference. How does this music differ from what we have heard so far? How does the experience of listening to this music differ from what you listen to today?

1.4) Your essay should be posted on this forum, on the body of your post (not as an attachment). I suggest the following procedure:

A) As you listen to the music over the next few days, write down any thoughts that come to mind. Towards the end of the week you’ll have a few insights that you can use to begin to develop your essay.

B) I suggest that you write your essay on a word processor such as Microsoft Word, because it will allow you to run a spell check, and because it will allow you count the number of words in your essay.

C) Please post your essay according to the following format:

– Your name (“John Doe”)

– Essay No. 3. the Early Baroque period

– Number of words: (“301”)

2) About your response to the work of other students.

Just read what other have posted and reply to their essay with your own thoughts. The idea is to foster civil conversation, there are no further instructions to follow.

If you follow these guidelines you are guaranteed full credit for this week’s assignment. If you do this every week you have 60% of your grade in the bank.

a. I encourage you to write this in chronological order. Within the chronology you might find it useful to identify some main themes/trends in the city’s development.
b. In documenting the chronology of the city’s planning history, make sure to clearly identify the time period covered by your website. It should cover at least the last one hundred years (roughly 1900 – 2014), but you are more than welcome (in fact encouraged) to go back further in time.
Literary evidence and annotated bibliography (15 points max)
c. Identify the different types of resources that document the city’s planning history: primary and secondary sources, fiction, and academic scholarship.
d. I do not expect you to identify everything that has been written about your city; rather, identify those documents that seem to be most useful and informative.
e. Check to see if the city has a municipal archive since these are often great sources of information.
f. The city’s planning department might also be a useful resource to explore.
g. Explore the library website for the universities in your city. For example, look at this resource guide prepared by Boston University:
h. The annotated bibliography must include at least 20 sources – this is the combination of all of the sources used by the group members.
i. IMPORTANT: Each narrative must include source material from at least two academic journals and two academic books. You may also use public documents, but you may not use random source material found on the Internet. Do not use Wikipedia.

ASSIGNMENT:

CHAPTER 21

1. Jennifer divides her income between coffee and croissants (both of which are normal goods). An early frost in Brazil causes a large increase in the price of coffee in the United States.
a. Show the effect of the frost on Jennifer’sbudget constraint.
b. Show the effect of the frost on Jennifer’s optimal consumption bundle assuming that the substitution effect outweighs the income effect for croissants.
c. Show the effect of the frost on Jennifer’s optimal consumption bundle assuming that the income effect outweighs the substitution effect for croissants.

2. Compare the following two pairs of goods:
• Coke and Pepsi 

• Skis and ski bindings 

a. In which case are the two goods complements? In 
which case are they substitutes? 


b. In which case do you expect the indifference curves 
to be fairly straight? In which case do you expect 
the indifference curves to be very bowed?
c. In which case will the consumer respond more to a 
change in the relative price of the two goods? 

3. You consume only soda and pizza. One day, the price of soda goes up, the price of pizza goes down, and you are just as happy as you were before the price changes.
a. Illustrate this situation on a graph. 


b. How does your consumption of the two goods 
change? How does your response depend on in- 
come and substitution effects? 

c. Can you afford the bundle of soda and pizza you 
consumed before the price changes? 


7. A college student has two options for meals: eating at the dining hall for $6 per meal, or eating a Cup O’ Soup for $1.50 per meal. Her weekly food budget
is $60. 

a. Draw the budget constraint showing the trade-off between dining hall meals and Cups O’ Soup. Assuming that she spends equal amounts on both goods, draw an indifference curve showing the optimum choice. Label the optimum as point A.
b. Suppose the price of a Cup O’ Soup now rises to $2. Using your diagram from part (a), show the con- sequences of this change in price. Assume that our student now spends only 30 percent of her income on dining hall meals. Label the new optimum as point B.
c. What happened to the quantity of Cups O’ Soup consumed as a result of this price change? What does this result say about the income and substitution effects? Explain.
d. Use points A and B to draw a demand curve for Cup O’ Soup. What is this type of good called?
8. Consider your decision about how many hours to work.
a. Draw your budget constraint assuming that
you pay no taxes on your income. On the same diagram, draw another budget constraint assuming that you pay 15 percent tax.
b. Show how the tax might lead to more hours of work, fewer hours, or the same number of hours. Explain.
10. 10. Draw the indifference curve for someone deciding how to allocate time between work and leisure. Suppose the wage increases. Is it possible that the person’s consumption would fall? Is this plausible? Discuss. (Hint: Think about income and substitution effects.)
CHAPTER 22
2. Suppose that the Live-Long-and-Prosper Health Insurance Company charges $5,000 annually for a family insurance policy. The company’s president suggests that the company raise the annual price to $6,000 to increase its profits. If the firm followed this suggestion, what economic problem might arise? Would the firm’s pool of customers tend to become more or less healthy on average? Would the company’s profits necessarily increase? 

4. Some AIDS activists believe that health insurance companies should not be allowed to ask applicants if they are infected with the HIV virus that causes AIDS. Would this rule help or hurt those who are HIV-positive? Would it help or hurt those who 
are not HIV-positive? Would it exacerbate or mitigate the problem of adverse selection in the market for health insurance? Do you think it would increase or decrease the number of people without health insurance? In your opinion, would this be a good policy? Explain your answers to each question. 

10. The government is considering two ways to help the needy: giving them cash or giving them free meals at soup kitchens.
a. Give an argument based on the standard theory of 
the rational consumer, for giving cash. 

b. Give an argument, based on symmetric information, for why the soup kitchen may be better than 
the cash handout. 

c. Give an argument, based on behavioral economics, 
for why the soup kitchen may be better than the cash handout
