Discuss The Economics of Information in the second half of the 20th Century (maximum 1,000)

Explain to someone who knows the definition of inflation and not much else in economics why if expected inflation and/or inflation risk goes up, interest rates will also likely go up. More admiration for you if you use the present value, future value terminology and jointly present the case for interest rates and bond prices.

How does COVID 19 effect the financial markets, real economy and healthcare systems of the BRICS countries??

Assume a closed economy without Government. However, there exists a financial sector that creates an array of financial assets on which both households and firms invest. Let ? denote the average earnings from these financial assets. The consumption expenditure of the households is influenced by their wage income and the financial income and is given by ? = ?(?, ?); ?? > 0, ?? > 0, where ??, ?? are partial derivatives of consumption with respect to income ? and financial earnings ? respectively. Similarly, the real investment expenditure of firms is given by ? = ?(?, ?); ?? > 0, ?? < 0, where ??, ?? are the partial derivatives of the real investment with respect to income and financial earnings. Using either the Keynesian cross model or the Multiplier analysis, answer the following questions.

(i) Derive the relationship between output ? and financial earnings ?, and examine the analytical conditions under which the relationship is positive ( ?? ?? > 0) and negative ( ?? ?? < 0). [15]

(ii) Describe why the scenario where the expansion in output driven by the rise in financial earnings, i.e. when ?? ?? > 0, could make the economy unstable and vulnerable to crisis? [5]

- Explain the buying influences (four quadrants)

- For buying influences in the growth mode, what positives (revenue, retention, brand awareness, etc) could help them to increase growth?

- For buying influences in the trouble mode, what negatives (cost, waste, risk, etc) could help them to decrease trouble?

- For buying influences in the even keel or overconfident mode, what strategies could you use to deploy to move them to either a growth or trouble mode?

- What are two RESULTS (for each of the BI’s)? How do these RESULTS relate these BIs’ specific business concerns? How do these results improve or fix a process of concern?

- How do each of these two BIs WIN if the product/service is able to deliver these RESULTS?

You have been assigned to a leadership post, running the Multiagency Coordination System for an Emergency Operations Center that has been set up in response to a category three hurricane strike. The disaster is widespread, and there has been a lot of competing requests for resources such as generators, law enforcement, food and water, as well as clothing.

When faced with these competing requests, how would you go about determining which to fulfill first?

What would be the main criteria for your decision?

How might you deal with any backlash created by those who you deemed lower on the priority list and – thus – did not initially receive resources?

You should consider the case of a small to medium enterprise (SME) which may employ up to 200 people. There are different sections in the enterprise, such as accounting, sales, purchases, marketing, human resources, and general administration. The enterprise has a web site with general information about the company, e-commerce functions, to enable online orders to be placed and deposits to be taken, customer relationship management, including form-to-email facilities, and an online job quoting system. These applications and other enterprise software packages are available on the company’s intranet, which stores its (confidential) corporate data. All employees have a company email address, a personal login for access to the company’s intranet. There is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy implemented. The enterprise uses a cloud archiving service for all its corporate data.

Q.1) Consider a government that contemplates extending the mandatory school system from nine years to ten years in primary school. You are now asked to give recommendation about the implementation and are thinking about estimating the model:

?_i = ?₀ + ?₁ ?cℎ_i + ?_i,

where ?_i is the outcome (e.g. wage) of individual i, and ?cℎ_i is the years in school of the same individual. ?_i is an error term.

a) Describe in words why estimating this model can give rise to omitted variable bias.

b) Explain the research design that Meghir and Palme (2005) use in their paper to estimate ?₁

(DSR Chp 10, U6) Consider a small town that has a population of dedicated pizza eaters but is able to accommodate only two pizza shops, Donna’s Deep Dish and Pierce’s Pizza Pies. Each seller has to choose a price for its pizza to maximize profits. Suppose further that it costs $3 to make each pizza (for each store) and that experience or market surveys have shown that the relation between sales (Q) and price (P ) for each firm is as follows:

QP =12−PP +0.5PD.

Then profits per week (Y , in thousands of dollars) for each firm are:

YP = (PP −3)QP = (PP −3)(12−PP +0.5PD),

YD = (PD −3)QD = (PD −3)(12−PD +0.5PP).

(a) Use these profit functions to determine each firm’s best-reply rule and use the best-reply rules to find the Nash equilibrium of this pricing game. What prices do the firms choose in equilibrium? How much profit per week does each firm earn?

(b) If the firms work together and choose a joint best price, P, then the profit of each will be: YD = YP = (P −3)(12−P +0.5P) = (P −3)(12−0.5P). What price do they choose to maximize joint profits?

(c) Suppose the two stores are in a repeated relationship,trying to sustain the jointprofit-maximizing prices calculated in part (b). They print new menus each month and thereby commit themselves to prices for the whole month. In any one month, one of them can defect from the agreement. If one of them holds the price at the agreed level, what is the best defecting price for the other? What are its resulting profits? For what interest rates will their collusion be sustainable by using grim-trigger strategies?

Q.1)) Many countries impose payroll taxes on employers and employees to fund the social security system. a) Assume that a country wants to impose a payroll tax of 1$ on employers for every employee-hour hired. What is the effect on both wages and employment in competitive labor markets? Both explain in your own words and illustrate your reasoning graphically. Clearly mark all the important points in your graph.

b) Would it be better to tax workers instead? Why or why not? What determines how much of the payroll tax is shifted to the workers? Only give a short explanation here, a graph is not needed.
