Explanation:-

The Gravity Model of international trade explains that international trade is greatly influenced by the size of GDP and distance between its economic capitals.The relative size of GDP attracts while greater distances weaken the trade relations.But in the case of U.K. in 19 th century Britain had trade relations with far off Asian African and other European countries because during this time free trade was possible as she had number of colonies in all these areas.Moreover there was plenty of cheap raw materials were easily available though there was a great distance between these countries. But in the recent past the nature of trade has changed since most of these colonies become independent and the formation of European Union which controls the trade activities by its rules and regulations .Therefore the pattern of trade has changed because of the following reasons

a.Change in relative exchange rate

b..Bi lateral trade agreements

c.Impact of emerging economies inAsian African countries

d.Change in comparatively advantageous industry.

Over that period, the extended family was replaced by the nuclear family. Use the concepts of economies of scope and path dependency to explain why this happened and why the transformation took several generations.

In a famous experiment done at the end of the 19th century, two metal electrodes were placed in an evacuated glass tube. A high voltage was applied between them. By using an appropriate metal for the cathode (e.g., sodium or potassium), it was found that a current could be made to flow when the cathode was illuminated with blue light, but no current would flow when red light was used, no matter how bright the light. Einstein was able to...

In the 19th century, cavalries were still an import- ant part of the European military complex. While horses have many wonderful qualities, they can be dangerous beasts, especially if poorly treated. The Prussian army kept track of the number of fatal- ities caused by horse kicks to members of 10 of their cavalry regiments over a 20-year time span. If these fatalities occurred independently and with equal probability for each regiment, then the number of deaths by horse kick per...

One subject they disagreed on was, the most likely way, the profit rate may go down in a capitalist economy, which would potentially end the growth of the output level within the system. According to Ricardo, the profit squeeze is the most likely way. For Malthus, growth rates are likely to go down because of a demand shortage. How do Ricardo...
