Hi Everyone,
We have now reached the voting stage of Challenge 4. Steemians now have the opportunity to vote for the winner of Challenge 4 of the Spectrum Economics 6 Week Challenge.
For Challenge 4 we have five entries, I think this challenge proved quite difficult for most Steemians but I certainly appreciate the effort put in by those that entered. The entrants are as follows:
Quick recap of the challenge
For Challenge 4, participants were required to conduct an economic analysis of several possible investment options and then offer advice regarding how money should be invested. The participants were provided with quantitative as well as qualitative information. The question recommends the use of cost benefit analysis (CBA) but other forms of quantitative analysis can also be accepted. If the participants deem information is insufficient for a meaningful quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis of the information is also acceptable.
The most important area to address in the question is the recommendation of how the money should be used to improve the infrastructure of the town. Creative responses are also encouraged. The responses should also be expressed so that everyday Steemians can understand the logic behind the arguments. Economic terminology can be used but needs to be clearly explained.

How to vote
The winner will be decided by votes placed in the comments section; the post that receives the most votes wins. The winner will receive 5 SBD. I expect voting to be based on the quality of the post and ability to address the criteria of the challenge post. I do not want voting to be based on the author or relationship or friendship with the author. Each vote will also be rewarded with a very small upvote. The upvote is an incentive to vote as well as an incentive to view each post. I would also appreciate a brief explanation as to why a vote has been cast.
To vote, enter the entrant’s number in the comment section followed by a brief explanation of why the vote was cast. The entrant’s numbers are as followers.
Spectrum Economics Favourite Posts
For this challenge I am giving out 2 awards for my favourite post. My favourite post will receive 10 SBD and my second favourite post will receive 5 SBD. I will be judging the posts based on quality and ability to address the criteria of the challenge. The judging is independent to the voting. It is possible that the post that has the most votes could also win a Spectrum Economics Favourite post award.
I would like to thank all the participants for their effort spent putting these posts together. May the best post win.
