Part I: Learning by Doing We replicate parts of an academic journal article "Toward an Understanding of Learning by Doing: Evidence from an Automobile Assembly Plant," abbreviated Levitt et al. (2013). Datasets: For Levitt et al. (2013): learn do weekly.xlsx, where "learn do" abbreviates "Learning by Doing" from the title and "weekly" refers to the fact that these are the weekly (not daily) data. 1. Replicate Figure 1 below. Create the y-axis variable and name it ave_def_pc. Like the authors, display only weeks with the production of at least 100 cars in the figure. (For the x-axis tic values in Figure 1, just use the week number.) Average Defects per Car 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 WAY! W42/1 W50/Y WS/Y2 W14/12 Production Week/Year W22/12 W30/Y2 Figure 1 plots the average number of defects per car by week. When production begins in mid-August, average defect rates were around 75 per car. Eight weeks later, they had fallen by two-thirds, to roughly 25 defects per car. These strong initial learning effects are consistent with findings in the broader literature on learning by doing." (pp. 653-4)
