Suppose the price of gold is initially 300 U. S. dollars per ounce in New York and 450 Canadian dollars per ounce in Toronto, Canada. If the law of one price holds for gold, the nominal exchange rate is Canadian dollars per U. S. dollar. If Canada experiences inflation, such that the price of gold rises to 510 Canadian dollars per ounce, but the U. S. does not experience any inflation, the nominal exchange rate would be Canadian dollars per U. S. dollar.

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
