Erik observes that when he dresses in business casual, people seem more comfortable approaching him. He wants to know if this is
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: If Erik uses the scientific method to investigate this, what type of research would he be doing, would be, observational as full participant.

Explanation:

In observational research methods, a person simply tries to answer a question, or solve an issue, by literally observing and experimenting on the field, without making changes to what is around. The question, or issue, will be resolved as the researcher observes the development of certain characteristics that would prove, or disprove, the question being researched, or solve, or not solve, the problem for which an answer is being sought. In this case, Erik wishes to see if his previous experiences dressing in business casual attire will repeat themselves when he is in college, and so, he not only wishes to test the theory that people approaches him easily if he is dressed in business casual, rather than in another attire, but he will become the test subject himself, becoming thus, a full participant. Erik will then observe the results of his experimentation, and thus come to an answer to his query.

What are the positive effects of growing cities?
Ksju [112]

Today, a majority of the world’s population<span> lives in cities</span>. By 2050, two-thirds of all people on the planet are projected to call urbanized areas their home. This trend will be most prominent in developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America: More than 90% of the global urban growth is taking place in these regions, adding 70 million new residents to urban areas every year.

For the many poor in developing countries, cities embody the hope for a better and more prosperous life. The inflow of poor rural residents into cities has created hubs of urban poverty. One-third of the urban population in developing countries<span> resides in slum conditions</span>. On the other hand, urban areas are engines of economic success. The 750 biggest cities on the planet account for 57% of today’s GDP, and this share is projected to rise further. It is thus unsurprising that rapid urban growth has been dubbed one of the biggest challenges by skeptics and one of the biggest opportunities by optimists.

One reason for this disagreement is that the relationship between economic development and urbanization is complex; causation runs in both directions. In the study “Growing through Cities in Developing Countries,” published in the World Bank Research Observer, Gilles Duranton from the University of Pennsylvania examines this relationship in depth. The strong positive correlation between the degree of urbanization of a country and its per-capita income has long been recognized. Still, the relationship between these two variables is only partially understood in the context of developing countries. In reviewing studies that focus on the impact of cities both in developed and developing countries, Duranton tries to identify the extent to which urbanization affects economic growth and development. (“Agglomeration” economies refers to physical clustering.
