Which of the following statements characterizes the thinking that emerged from the Hawthorne studies? (A) People are motivated primarily by money. B Workers will perform their jobs as they are told to and will maximize their output so as to increase their pay. (C) Workers generally dislike work and need to be closely supervised to ensure adequate productivity. If jobs are properly designed and proper incentives provided, predictable results will follow. E Concern for the worker will lead to greater worker satisfaction, which will then lead to increased output.

Problem 2. (Approximate a Symmetric Matrix) 1) Let A and B be m × k matrices. Denote the entry on the ith row and jth column of A as $a_{ij}$, and the entry on the ith row and jth column of B as $b_{ij}$ ($1 \le i \le m$, $1 \le j \le k$). We can then evaluate the difference between these two matrices by calculating the sum of square differences between corresponded entries. Show that, this difference can be represented as following: $$ \sum_{i=1}^{m} \sum_{j=1}^{k} (a_{ij} - b_{ij})^2 = tr[(A - B)(A - B)'] $$ 2) Now let us focus on a $p \times p$ symmetric matrix A with spectral decomposition: $$A = \sum_{i=1}^{p} \lambda_i e_i e_i';$$ We can use a lower rank matrix B to approximate A, in particular, let us define $$B = \sum_{i=1}^{q} \lambda_i e_i e_i';$$ for $1 \le q < p$. Show that: $$tr[(A - B)(A - B)'] = \sum_{i=q+1}^{p} \lambda_i^2$$ That is, the error of approximation equals to the sum of the squares of the eigenvalues not included in B.

Texts: Read "Vaccine Nationalism Is Doomed to Fail" and "Democracies Keep Vaccines for Themselves" (both articles from The Atlantic). Also read these short informational articles from the UN and NPR. "Vaccine Nationalism Is Doomed to Fail" - The Atlantic "Rich Countries Give Money but Keep Vaccines for Themselves" - The Atlantic 1. Explain what "vaccine nationalism" and "vaccine inequity" refer to and summarize some important issues raised in the articles. 2. Summarize one of the theories of distributive justice (i.e., a utilitarian, libertarian, communitarian, contractarian (Rawlsian), or egalitarian theory of justice). 3. Then evaluate the United States' current approach to international vaccine distribution from the standpoint of the theory of distributive justice you summarized in (2). Reference facts from the news articles as evidence to support your evaluation. 4. Outline what you think would be the most just way for the United States to approach distributing vaccines internationally. Propose at least one concrete solution or action. Show how this approach is justified according to the theory you outlined in (2).
