Economics discussion post

1) Let’s discuss a controversial topic – the illegal drug trade. Currently, we have a ban on most illicit drugs, which is a direct control. Based on the reading, why do you think this path was chosen to regulate drug use? Is there an approach you think would be better? How does this approach deal with externalities pertaining to drug use?

Now that Proposition 64 has passed, legalizing recreational marijuana use in California, does that change any of these dynamics?

2) The Project will be due next week. Discuss the topic of your project here.

What is the basic research question your project concerns? Tell us about the economic factors concerning the firm and the problem or story topic you are writing/have written about. What are your ultimate conclusions about the efficiency of the firm’s production and whether government involvement might be necessary?

Written analysis and comparison of two paintings.

Maesta by Duccio and Adoration of the Magi by Sandro Botticelli

Written analysis and comparison of two paintings. Choose two European paintings created between the 1200s and the 1500s. (I have already chosen two paintings, Maesta by Duccio and Adoration of the Magi by Sandro Botticelli). The paintings Must be from two different periods, which makes it easier to explain the reason for the differences.

Write in paragraph form and double space.

I am attaching a file for detailed instruction!

Use Python to search a dataset of genes for a protein motif

Hi, these are the questions I need help with:

1. Write a Python program that will translate each of the 770 cDNA sequences into an amino acid sequence. It should use the gene sequence data file “mRNA_database.fasta” as input. (50%)
2. The program should then search these amino acid sequences for the following protein motif: GXXXXGKT/S. How many of the sequences contain one or more of these Walker motifs? (50%)

Segmentation and targeting

In this post, respond to the following:

Review “Interactive Illustration 1: Segmenting the Dog Food Market” in the reading. Study each of the segments.
Apply the Who, What, Why framework discussed in the reading to evaluate the dog food market segmentation.
Imagine you are a new dog food manufacturer. State which segment(s) you would target based on the six characteristics of a useful segmentation: identifiable, substantial, accessible, stable, differentiable, and actionable.
Recommend a marketing mix (the 4Ps) for the new dog food. Briefly, specify what product to offer, how to distribute the product, how to price the product, and how to promote the product—based on the information in Illustration 1.
Address all of the items listed and follow APA citation guidelines. Refer to the syllabus for length requirements.

Before attempting to complete this discussion, review the following learning materials:

From your Harvard Business School Publishing Course Pack:

Gupta, S. (2014). Marketing reading: Segmentation and targeting. HBS No. 8219. Harvard Business School Publishing.

This reading introduces two of the integral parts of any marketing strategy: segmentation and targeting.

It covers, first, all of the methods, techniques, and variables with which a business first uncovers the full range of its potential customers and then distinguishes between them. It then shows how a company judges the potential of each market segment, selects the segments worth pursuing, and designs marketing programs to serve them.

The reading includes two interactive illustrations. The first, “Segmenting the Dog Food Market,” shows how successfully marketing a product consumed by dogs depends on first understanding and segmenting their owners.

The second, “Segmenting the Market for Early Pregnancy Test Devices,” shows how the most important category for segmentation is not demographic or geographic, but is concerned rather with consumer psychology and motivation.

The reading also includes a six-part video mini-case study on how GE Healthcare developed and applied segmentation for its Imaging Systems business.
