The article titled “There’s a reason the world is a mess, and it’s not Trump” focuses on the myriad reasons nations’ economies across the globe are suffering, or at least starting to show signs of distress.  These reasons include a shift from manufacturing to services aka “deindustrialization,” stagnant productivity growth, and slowing population growth and an aging population.  This is resulting in lower GDP growth rates, increased inequality, and social discontent. The article then offers several approaches to addressing this global threat of economic stagnation.  For full credit, discuss in detail one or more of these proposed solutions, and tie your argument to our class discussions and/or textbook theory. Even if you did not read the article, for partial credit explain in detail your opinion on what might be done to restore global stability from an economic standpoint in light of all that we have studied this semester.

We have a table below, and we want to apply user-based collaborative filtering to recommend music to Chan. To simplify the calculation, we are going to use the Manhattan distance as our measure. First, please calculate the distance between Chan and other users.   (1 pt) Angelica – Chan: (1 pt) Bill – Chan: (1 pt) Dan – Chan: (1 pt) Hailey – Chan: (Please continue calculating the distance between Chan and the rest of the users) (3 pts) Next, which band/artist should we recommend to Chan?

We apply item-item collaborative filtering to predict User 5’s rating for Movie 1. To do this, we first calculate the similarity between Movie 1 and the other movies. The Pearson correlation scores between Movie 1 and the other movies are shown on the right-hand side of the figure below. Based on these similarity scores, which two movies are most similar to Movie 1?
