Document Summary

De ning jurisdiction: the authority granted by law to hear a case. May be based on: age, type of crime, location of crime/ offender. De ning juvenile : each state determines when a juvenile will legally be considered an adult (i. e. no longer under juvenile court jurisdiction, states where juveniles become adults at 16: Connecticut, new york, north carolina: states where juveniles become adults at 17: Too young for juvenile court: minimum age 6: north carolina, minimum age 7: maryland, massachusetts, new york, minimum age 8: arizona, minimum age 10: arkansas, colorado, kansas, louisiana, minnesota, mississippi, De ning delinquency : any behavior prohibited by juvenile law, the difference between delinquency and crime is a matter of age. Juveniles who break the law are delinquents. Adults who break the law are criminals. However, there are some laws that are legal for adults but illegal for juveniles. Status offenses: behaviors that are legal for adults but illegal for juveniles.

Related Questions

Suppose one of your colleagues suggests a marketing plan for soft drinks which relocates most canned drink vending machines into low-income neighborhoods. 1. Based on your analyses so far, would you agree to her suggestion? Why or why not? What the descriptive analysis indicates and what the regression analysis suggests might differ from each other. And I donât suppose there is a clear-cut yes/no type answer to this question. Rather I will focus on your reasoning and persuasive writing skills here.

Demand can be estimated with experimental data, time-series data, or cross-section data. In this case, cross-section data appear in the Excel file. Soft drink consumption in cans per capita per year is related to six-pack price, income per capita, and mean temperature across the 48 contiguous states in the United States.

QUESTIONS

1. Given the data, please construct the demand estimation for soft drink consumption in the United States by

(1) a multiple-linear regression equation and (2) a log-linear (exponential) regression equation

2. Given the log-linear equation, please provide the price elasticity of demand and income elasticity. Comment on whether the demand is elastic or inelastic and whether soft drink is a necessity, normal good or luxury good.

The Demand for soft drink (in cans per capita per year) is estimated as Log Q = a + b log P+ c log I + d log T

where Q = Soft drink consumption in cans per capita per year

P = 6-pack price

I = Income Per capita

T = Mean temperature across the 48 contiguous states in the United States
