Question 1
The novel corona virus disease (also known as COVID – 19) which started in WUHAN in December 2019 has grounded the global economy to a halt. World crude prices reached their lowest and trade among nations have generally slowed. Production has slowed and jobs are being lost across the globe.
Globally, over seven million people have contracted the virus and over four hundred thousand have died. Ghana announced its first two confirmed cases of COVID – 19 on 12 March, 2020 and as at June 14, 2020, the number of confirmed cases stood at 11,964 with 54 deaths. The impact of the COVID – 19 pandemic on Ghanaian economy and the global economy at large is predicted to be very severe. The government of Ghana, like many other governments, is spending more funds on containing the pandemic and limiting the effect of the pandemic on the economy. The IMF Executive Board approved the disbursement of US$1 billion drawn under the Rapid Credit Facility (RCF) for Ghana on April 13, 2020 after receiving application from the country’s government.
Given this background, briefly discuss
1) the repercussions of the corona virus pandemic for the Ghanaian economy and foreign exchange market.
2)Suggest ways of mitigating the effects of covid – 19 on Ghana’s balance of payments (BOP).

The Schumpterian hypothesis suggests there may be a direct relationship between firm size or seller concentration and the output of process and product innovation. With regard to this, if comparatively high levels of seller concentration are associated with greater technical or dynamic efficiency, what are some factors which might account for it?

Does the hypothesis imply that there may be a policy conflict between the pursuit of dynamic efficiency and the pursuit of other objectives like pareto/allocative efficiency?
