Cоnvert the fоllоwing rаndom bits of informаtion into coherent 30-40 second broаdcast stories. For this assignment, imagine that you’re a reporter in Springfield. a) Land-based pollution is handled by the state, but pollution in the water is handled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA started Springfield River PCB dredging last spring.b) New studies will estimate how much PCB and other pollution is present in East Springfield . . . along with how much it could cost to clean it up.c) A lawsuit by the residents in the area and the town against General Wire and Metalworks for damages is pending.d) New state grants will pay for studies to spell out cleanup and revitalization plans for two polluted sections of East Springfield. Those areas make up over 300 acres and include 6 “brownfield sites.”e) Money for the studies will come from a $400,000 grant from the state, announced this morning, under a program meant to clean up socalled industrial brownfields. Those areas sit nearby the old GWM plant that released PCBs and other chemicals into both the river andthe land decades ago.f) Residents nearby have complained for years that the contamination makes their homes almost impossible to sell or even refinance.g) In that area of East Springfield, GWM has installed basement ventilation systems in some homes, to exhaust tainted air left from underground industrial pollution.h) East Springfield Mayor Janet Burroughs said the state will cover 90 percent of the study costs, but the town will have to cover 10 percent – which is likely to come in services rather than actual cash.i) Burroughs said East Springfield has been struggling for decades to recover from its history of pollution . . . and has trouble attracting new development because of the perception of widespread contamination.j) A state-mandated cleanup of a nearby storage area by GWM began in 2016 where as much as 100,000 pounds of PCBs were believed to be buried.

Bоnus Questiоn (5 pоints) An economist wаnts to аnаlyze the impact of self-driving taxi services on the demand for Uber and Lyft. To do so, the economist applies (1) __________ (a. linear regression, b. discrete choice model, c. supervised learning) to measure the marginal effect of self-driving taxi demand on Uber and Lyft. Here, Uber and Lyft's demand is treated as a continuous dependent variable. Next, the economist seeks to estimate potential consumers' willingness to pay for self-driving taxi services with personalized music options (e.g., allowing consumers to listen to their preferred songs while riding an AI-powered taxi). To measure willingness to pay, the economist surveys respondents, asking whether they would be willing to pay $2 per mile for a self-driving taxi. Each respondent can answer "Yes (=1)" or "No (=0)", making this a discrete dependent variable in the willingness-to-pay estimation. Based on the survey results, the economist applies (2) ___________ (a. linear regression, b. logistic regression, c. supervised learning) to estimate consumers' willingness to pay. This approach, known as the contingent valuation method (CVM), is commonly used to estimate willingness to pay for non-market goods (e.g., clean air) and newly introduced products. The methods used in (1) and (2) rely on (3) _________________ (a. in-sample prediction for interpretation, b. out-of-sample prediction for prediction). Now, the economist aims to forecast the demand for self-driving taxis, Uber, and Lyft in 2026. To predict continuous demand variables for 2026, the economist can use (4) ___________________ (a. linear regression, b. logistic regression, c. supervised learning) for (5) _______________________ (a. in-sample prediction for interpretation, b. out-of-sample prediction for prediction). In sum, (1) is for market and firm-level analysis. (2) is for pricing strategies and consumer welfare analysis. (3) is for forecasting market trends. By applying these methods, the economist can gain insights into consumer behavior, firm strategies, and market dynamics, leading to more informed, data-driven decisions regarding price, product, placement, and promotion (i.e., the 4Ps in marketing).
