The Current Population Survey is based on a large random sample of the US population. Among other things, the survey captures education and income values for the respondents. Numerous studies of this data over many years have shown that there is a high positive correlation between educational attainment and income. Identify all of the true statements among the following. (a) The true correlation is very possibly zero. The observed high correlations are just chance observations due to the random nature of the data. (b) We can conclude that higher income causes higher educational attainment. (c) There may be a lurking variable that causes both higher educational attainment and higher income. (d) We can conclude that higher educational attainment causes higher income.

Tom and Jacob are college students. Each of them will probably get married later and have two or three children. Each knows that if he studies more in college, he'll get a better job and earn more money. Earning more will enable them to spend more on their future families for things such as orthodontia, nice clothes, admission to expensive colleges, and travel. Tom thinks about the benefits to his potential children when he decides how much studying to do. Jacob doesn't. a. What type of externality arises from studying? b. Draw a graph showing this externality, contrasting the responses of Tom and Jacob. Who studies more? Who acts more efficiently? Briefly explain.
