Evaluating sensitivity to risk

Select three companies from different industries. Each company must have stock prices continuously available for January 1, 2011 through November 1, 2016. Obtain monthly prices for the companies for the period indicated.
For each stock, select two different variables from the file: fall 2016 assignment 8 data.xlsx. (Do not use the same variable more than once.)
Using returns on the stock and returns or percentage changes for each selected variable (separately), determine the sensitivity of the stock price (i.e., company value) to each selected variable. (Note that for a few variables you will not be able to use all the stock returns. E.g., for vehicle miles traveled, data is only available through September 2016).

Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

 Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.
