In both years, districts that supported the candidate for president were more likely to support the opposite party for Congress. The increase in split districts from 2012 to 2016 was smaller for districts supporting the for president. Based on the number of split districts in 2016, it is possible that will have more opportunities to flip seats during the midterm elections in 2018. Ticket splitting, 2012 and 2016

Suppose a firm faces a fixed price of output, 푝푝= 1200. the firm hires workers from a union at a daily wage, 푤푤, to produce output according to the production function 푞푞= 2퐸퐸12. there are 225 workers in the union. any union worker who does not work for this firm is guaranteed to find nonunion employment at a wage of $96 per day. a.what is the firm’s labor demand function? b.if the firm is allowed to choose 푤푤, but then the union decides how many workers to provide (up to 225) at that wage, what wage will the firm set? how many workers will the union provide? what is the firm’s output and profit? what is the total income of the 225 union workers? c.now suppose that the union sets the wage, but the firm decides how many workers to hire at that wage (up to 225). what wage will the union set to maximize the total income of all 225 workers? how many workers will the firm hire? what is the firm’s output and profit? what is the total income of the 225 union workers? [hint: to maximize total income of union, take the first order condition with respect to w and set equal to 0.]

Andy purchases only two goods, apples (a) and kumquats (k). he has an income of $125 and can buy apples at $5 per pound and kumquats at $5 per pound. his utility function is u(a, k) = 6a + 2k. what is his marginal utility for apples and his marginal utility for kumquats? andy's marginal utility for apples (mu subscript a) is mu subscript aequals 6 and his marginal utility for kumquats (mu subscript k) is
