Consider about the working conditions and regulatory environment in clothing factories in Bangladesh, in which many economists warn about quick fixes for wages and the imposition of U.S. safety standards on foreign factories. They offer the following figures to illustrate that the issue of labor conditions in other countries is complex. In Bangladesh, clothing factories get about $6.75 per shirt. These are the factory costs:

1. $4.75 for the fabric and thread
2. $1.00 for the shirt's labels
3. $0.38 wage costs for each shirt (workers earn $70 to $80 a month)
4. $0.15 per shirt for laundering

Hence, That leaves $0.47 per shirt for facilities, shipment, marketing, and perhaps the interest on loans. Furthermore, the cost of living in Bangladesh is $40 per month for rent, and food per adult is $13 per month. Milk for a child is $5 per month. Those who work in the factories are generally the main wage earners in their families because no other jobs pay as well.

Base of the case above, answer the following questions:

1. Given this analysis, where do you see some fixes for the safety and wage issues?
2. What needs to be done besides instituting codes of ethics and factory and labor standards?
3. Assume that you are a manager for a clothing firm in the United States and you are being sent to Bangladesh to select a new manufacturer for your clothing lines. Discuss some of the issues that will affect your decisions about choosing a new facility to work with.

Locate and retrieve the most current ranking of the best global brands (include your list) and identify the criteria used in compiling this list (provide cite and the source’s ranking criteria).

Which countries appear to dominate the top 100 global brands list? Why do you think this is the case? Look at which sectors appear to dominate the list, and try to identify the reasons.

Prepare a short paper identifying the countries that possess the most global brands and the potential reasons for the success of these brands.

Suppose that the government is going to auction off permits equal to one third of total emissions in the economy (so two-thirds of all emissions must be abated), and that there will be a competitive market for permits sold on an exchange (i.e., in a market) with publicly posted prices so that it is very easy to buy or sell permits. Suppose now that a firm with a marginal abatement cost of $8 has a special opportunity to buy 100 permits at a price of $15 per permit.

True or False: The firm should buy the permits even though their marginal cost is below $15.
