The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity. why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity

5. real versus nominal gdp consider a simple economy that produces two goods: cupcakes and muffins. the following table shows the prices and quantities of the goods over a three-year period. year cupcakes muffins price quantity price quantity (dollars per cupcake) (number of cupcakes) (dollars per muffin) (number of muffins) 2014 2 115 5 175 2015 4 150 2 180 2016 1 100 2 160 use the information from the preceding table to fill in the following table. year nominal gdp real gdp gdp deflator (dollars) (base year 2014, dollars) 2014 2015 2016 from 2015 to 2016, nominal gdp , and real gdp . the inflation rate in 2016 was . why is real gdp a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal gdp? real gdp does not include the value of intermediate goods and services, but nominal gdp does. real gdp measures the value of the goods and services an economy produces, but nominal gdp measures the value of the goods and services an economy consumes. real gdp is not influenced by price changes, but nominal gdp is.
