Signature Assignment: International Trade Summary

Assignment Content

Promoting international trade is not a zero-sum game. It is a win-win proposition; both parties gain from trade.

Consider the following:

Tariffs are paid by the citizens of the country imposing tariffs, not by the citizens of the country producing the products upon which the tariffs are levied.
The term trade deficits is a misnomer. Every countrys trade is always in balance.
Trade deficits do not mean the US no longer produces anything to export. The US is the worlds second largest manufacturer and the worlds second largest exporter of manufactured goods.
Trade deficits reflect a strong economy. Trade deficits rise during economic expansions and fall during economic contractions. Unemployment falls as trade deficits rise and rises as trade deficits fall.
Imports and exports are complements, not competitors. Both are necessary and both contribute to economic growth.
Roughly one-third of all US imports and exports is trade between US

answer the question

Question 1. Compare the intensity of competition in the government and market sectors. In other words, which sector -- the government or the market -- has more competition?

answer the question

question 1. When political officials are elected democratically, can they be counted on to pursue policies that promote the general welfare of the populace?

2. What is the special interest effect? What does it imply about the efficiency of how goods and services will be allocated through the political process?

3. Visit the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis FRED Database ( http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/FYFSD ).  Locate the latest budget figure available. What is it in millions of dollars? What does this figure indicate about government revenues and expenditures?

*Please answer these questions above in your own words but via reference the ebook I sent you

Immigrants and impact on economy

I need to have an abstract, hypothesis, use 3 scholar articles, and a policy


Topic: Immigration and impact on the economy


    In my research paper I will be talking about immigrants. More importantly about their impact on the economy. In the American society typically when you hear the word immigrant you think of the individual in a negative perspective. Due to the history, public view and social media has made. Talking about the history and the experiences in the past there will be positive and negative actions, perspectives of immigrants. In addition to learning about their past the main focus will be on the impact to the American economy in both positive and negative way. 

Research Question: How do undocumented immigrants persevere the image of legal immigrants in the United States of America? 

Hypothesis:
-Social media, and media by itself has shown the general idea of an immigrant as the antagonist of the society.

Environmental Sustainability and International business

Watch the animation video, "Climate Change, Greenhouse Gases, Emission Trading Scheme?"

There has been discussion about the pros and cons of climate treaties like the Kyoto Protocol and the Copenhagen Accord. There has been discussion about the advantages of firms and specific business opportunities that might be generated by going green. Let us also consider the other side and play devil's advocate on what may be any negatives? In addition, do you think regulation can ensure safe operations, or does business need to engage in activities like renewable energy production in order to learn to how to do it right, and safely?

How can we curb emissions without, at least less, hurting our economy? How can we get other countries to curb their emissions as much as we do? What about developing countries that have horrid air quality, but can't afford to do much about it?

Requirement:
1.Exceptional level of the main discussion that brings value to the discussion while bu

major flaws in the American banking and financial system

Please tell us what you believe are the major flaws in the American banking and financial system, and what it is that we as a nation should do to fix them?   Long-lasting "fixes" to problems require a good understanding of their underlying causes.  So please also describe what you believe are the "root causes" of the flaws in the system that you identify.     For example:
 
-- If you think large banks now fund their investments with too much debt and too little equity, explain why banks are behaving that way now?    
 
And/or
 
-- If you believe it is wrong for large financial institutions to rely on statistical models to measure the size of "risks" they are taking because, like Keynes, you believe it is impossible to accurately predict the range of future outcomes, then please tell us why you think so many big banks and asset managers continue to use methodologies like "value at risk" even though these statistical measur

discussion

I. Many economists believe the strict definition of perfect competition does not exist in the real world. Yet, the market equilibrium in this market is claimed to be efficient, and all other markets (monopoly, oligopoly and monopolistic competition) that are more realistic, are evaluated in terms of their distance from the equilibrium in a perfect competitive market.

Would you be in favor of having only very competitive firms in your town? Try to explain the pros and cons of it with examples.
II. This week we focused on four different types of markets:  perfect competitive markets,  monopoly, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition.

To start this topic,  a student should give a link of a very recent business news article or journal article. Add a provocative comment/question for others in your group to continue the discussion, and build the empirical evidence needed for your project.

III. Chip makers (Qualcomm and Intel, for instance) and Smart

econ outline

just fix for my work!!!


1. You have the right data for a scatter plot, but your scatter plot is inappropriate. You are plotting a line graph, instead of a scatter plot. Please take a look at the templates provided for examples of appropriate scatter plots.

2. Please specify the definition of the renewable energy generation rate

3. Your weighted average table is also wrong. Here I think you want to have a weighted average of the renewable energy generation rate. How do you do the weighting depends on the definition of the renewable energy generation rate, if the definition of the renewable generation rate is: renewable energy (if measured in electricity the unit would be kWh or something like that) / total energy production. Then the weight should be: country A total energy / all energy in all countries you include.

4. I think the bar graph is trying to show the same point as the scatter plot, so you may want to consider deleting it from your work.
