More perhaps that any other subject in economics, urban economics is about the environment in which we lead our daily lives. This problem set is unconventional in that it asks you to think quantitatively about a particular city, Denver. The exercise is aimed to give you experience at tracking down data on-line, and also at coming up with ballpark estimates. A quantitative answer will be judged correct if it is between one-half to double the correct value. For some of the questions, you can readily find the correct answer on- line; for others, the correct answer can be found on-line with a bit of detective work; for yet others, data are available at the country or state level, but not for the City itself (in which case, you should make an educated guess about how the Denver data would differ from the national or state data). But since you are not asked to come up with exact numbers, educated guesses should work for most questions. PLEASE WRITE YOUR ANSWERS ON THESE FOUR SHEETS.
