Ariely, a scientist from MIT, did an experiment on what people would do when 21 things that were free.He 22 a group of students two kinds of chocolates: the good one for 15 cents each and the poor one for l cent each.The good chocolate was worth $ 1.00, so 15 cents was very cheap,23 the poor quality chocolate was worth 5 cents, so24it for 1 cent wasn't very cheap.
Most people chose the high quality chocolate for 15 cents.That's not a 25 .But then Ariely lowered the 26 of both pieces of chocolate by 1 cent.If people were 27correctly, then they should 28choose the good quality chocolate.But that 29 what happened.Most people chose the free chocolate.This doesn't make sense in our 30 way of understanding economic behavior.
What is happening here? Ariely 31 that people want to get a good bargain.But they also want to reduce risk.That is,they want to 32 the chance of making a 33 .If you pay 14 cents for a piece of chocolate, and then you don't 34 like it when you eat it, you have lost 14 cents.But when something is free and you don't like it, you haven't lost anything.People would 35 not to take a risk over getting a better bargain.

Use the Mundell–Fleming model to answer the following questions about the state of California (a small open economy). (15 points) a. If California suffers from a recession, should the state government use monetary or fiscal policy to stimulate employment? Explain. (Note: For this question, assume that the state government can print dollar bills.) b. If California prohibited the import of wines from the state of Washington, what would happen to income, the exchange rate, and the trade balance? Consider both the short-run and the long-run impacts.
Fords open policy towards employees ideas "generates tens of thousands of e-mails a month", according to Ed Sketch, the director of training and development in America and Europe. The company has even employed people to sift through them. Money-saving brainwaves are rewarded with big bonuses or a new car.
Companies might want to recruit innovative thinkers, but do they really want nonconformists on board? Peer Granger, the head of Insight Training, which runs innovation workshops for companies, believes that the risk of not having them on board is greater. "Its not like the old days, where companies could churn out the same old product year after year and customers would buy them. If companies dont innovate, they die. Just look at the high street. And almost by definition, you have to be difficult in order to innovate because it is about challenging the status quo."
The problem is that innovators are usually seen as trouble-makers and are often the first people to go if a company is downsizing. Theres such a blame culture that people are scared to step outside the norms. In our workshops we show people the value of breaking rules."
However, Granger thinks that difficult, innovative people would crumble without their conformist colleagues. "Crikey, you need the other people to say, Hang on, maybe this isnt a good idea, which can save you a lot of hassle later. And turning an idea into reality may involve office politics, which difficult people may not be good at."
