Question

label each statement as either a direct or an indirect incentive. a label may be used more than once. drag each item on the left to its matching item on the right. note that every item may not have a match, while some items may have more than one match. a college administration decides students who do not wear a face mask on campus will be expelled and will not receive a refund of their college tuition. during the great recession, congress authorized the extension of unemployment benefits beyond 26 weeks, which led to an increase in the average length of time a person remained unemployed. students who prefer not to wear a face mask do not sign up for face - to - face classes, and those classes are cancelled. a college administration decides to award all students with as during the covid lockdown.

Explanation:

1. For the college - expelling students who don't wear masks and not refunding tuition, it's a direct incentive as it's a clear and immediate consequence for a specific action.
2. For Congress extending unemployment benefits which led to longer unemployment, it's an indirect incentive. The extension was not directly aimed at increasing unemployment duration but had that secondary effect.
3. For students not signing up for face - to - face classes due to mask requirements and classes being cancelled, it's an indirect incentive. The mask requirement indirectly led to class cancellations through student behavior.
4. For the college awarding all students A's during COVID lockdown, it's not an incentive related to direct or indirect incentives in the traditional sense as it's not a measure to encourage or discourage a specific behavior but rather a decision due to the pandemic situation. But if we have to classify, it has no clear link to direct or indirect incentives for behavior modification.

Answer:

1. A college administration decides students who do not wear a face mask on campus will be expelled and will not receive a refund of their college tuition: direct
2. During the Great Recession, Congress authorized the extension of unemployment benefits beyond 26 weeks, which led to an increase in the average length of time a person remained unemployed: indirect
3. Students who prefer not to wear a face mask do not sign up for face - to - face classes, and those classes are cancelled: indirect
4. A college administration decides to award all students with A's during the COVID lockdown: N/A (not applicable as not a direct/indirect incentive for behavior)
