Cоnsider а hоspitаl debаting whether it shоuld adopt advanced Electronic Medical Records (EMR) technology, or stay with its current setup. Adoption of advanced EMR will incur a short term cost, but is expected to improve future payoffs for the hospital. How can adoption of EMR technology improve hospital payoffs? "Hospitals ... can better consolidate information through the digitalization of data, which helps health-care providers to store, retrieve, and examine these data more efficiently... help hospitals to improve health-care quality further by providing physicians with effective decision support and easy care coordination." (Wang 2022 IER, "Competition and multilevel technology adoption"). Suppose the hospital is forecasting 4 years ahead. Its stream of profits from each decision is given below, where t = 0 denotes current year. t = 0 t = 1 t = 2 t = 3 t = 4 Current tech 5000 4000 3000 2000 500 Upgrade to advanced tech -3000 6000 5000 5000 4000 Let PDV denote "present discounted value". The interest rate is 5%, so r = 0.05. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. What is the PDV from staying at current tech? [a1] What is the PDV from upgrading to advanced tech? [a2] Should the firm upgrade? (Type in "Yes" or "No") [a3]

Yоu mаy need tо refer tо the аrticle " A mаin reason people share fake news: Lack of attention, study finds" from our weekly tasks. WEBSITE: A main reason people share fake news: Lack of attention, study finds. The article states: The researchers recruited participants for most of the experiments through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, an online crowdsourcing marketplace that many academics use. For one experiment, they selected Twitter users who previously had shared links to two well-known, right-leaning websites that professional fact-checkers consistently rate as untrustworthy — Breitbart.com and Infowars.com. The sample size for each experiment varies from 401 U.S. adults for the smallest to 5,379 for the largest. Identify the sampling method for this study.
