The saving rate in the United States is low compared to many of the countries with which the United States currently trades. If the United States was a closed economy, what would be the consequences of that low savings rate? The United States is not a closed economy however, but rather than an open economy. How does that change the answer to the closed economy scenario? Be thorough in your explanation.

Services Marketing Differs from Product Marketing

Two national firms, the Prestige Hotel and Pro Fitness chains, strive to deliver quality service to their customers. To do so, they address the four core differences between services and goods. In the following scenario, you will be asked to categorize statements about the customer's experiences and the firm's marketing efforts by the core difference they represent.

Economies of developed countries like the United States have become increasingly dependent on services. For example, service industries like retail and information services account for about two-thirds of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) and the lion's share of U.S. jobs. The marketing of services differs from goods marketing because of the four fundamental ways in which services differ from goods: They are intangible, inseparable, variable, and perishable.

Conflicting Experiences

Suppose that with free trade, the cost to the United States of importing a shirt from Mexico is $15.00, and the cost of importing a shirt from China is $12.00. A shirt produced in the United States costs $20.00.

Suppose further that before NAFTA, the United States maintained a tariff of 80% against all shirt imports. Then, under NAFTA, all tariffs between Mexico and the United States are removed, while the tariff against imports from China remains in effect. Assume that the tariff does not affect the world price of shirts.

In the following table, indicate which country the United States imported shirts from before NAFTA. Then indicate which country the United States imported shirts from under NAFTA. Check all that apply. (Note: Leave the row blank if the United States doesn’t import from either country.)

In the following table, indicate whether each stakeholder gains, loses, or neither gains nor loses as a result of NAFTA.

This is an example of trade creation/diversion resulting from a regional agreement.

1. Based on information from a variety of sources, out of all countries –

Saudi Arabia ranks 26^th in healthcare while the United States ranks 31^st

Saudi Arabia ranks 95^th in the lack of civil unrest while the United States ranks 97^th

Saudi Arabia ranks behind the United States in terms of education

Saudi Arabia has investment of 30.75% of GDP while the United States is 19.754%

All of this suggests that the standards of living in the United States and Saudi Arabia are very similar - using this, answer the question below.

Suppose a country with a low standard of living asks for your advice on whether it should try to emulate Saudi Arabia or the United States in pursuing its goal of increasing its standard of living. What would you advise?

2nd PART OF MY QUESTION.

Economic growth:

4) Based on information from the World Bank, in 2016, GDP per capita was $57,467 in the United States and $59,977 in Iceland – very similar values (and high values compared to many countries). But, the annual rate of GDP growth averages 0.9% in the United States and 6.1% in Iceland.

Would you predict the United States or Iceland to have a more rapid increase in the standard of living in the long run? _________________ Discuss what evidence/theory from Chapter 11 you are using to support this prediction.

GOD BLESS WHOEVER HELPED ME ON THIS, HOW DO I PAY YOUR KINDNESS?

what is the population of china and the united state, what is mean gross income of china and the united states ,the gross national product of china and the united states?

For a given AD curve, a reduction in the availability of labor or raw materials would cause the short run aggregate supply to shift to the left which would cause prices to fall and output to increase in the short run.

Select one:

True

False

According to the AD/AS model, an economic contraction caused by a leftward shift of aggregate demand remedies itself over time as the expected price level falls, shifting the short run aggregate supply rightward.

Select one:

True

False

According to the AD/AS model, if the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical then the economy will always return to the level of output that occurs when the rate of unemployment is at its natural level.

Select one:

True

False

The sticky price theory of short-run aggregate supply says that when the price level falls unexpectedly, some firms will have higher than desired prices which increases their sales.

Select one:

True

False

As the United States entered World War II in the early 1940s, the U.S government increased military expenditures that caused the aggregate demand curve in the U.S. to shift to the left and that caused the rate of unemployment to rise to historic levels.

Select one:

True

False

The personal savings rate in Asian countries is often much higher than in Europe or the United States. For instance, the personal savings rate in the United States is around 5 percent, while the same rate in China is around 30 percent. What impact will this have on the growth of capital stock in the United States versus China?

In the above question, suppose that savers in China decide to put a significant portion of their savings into financial instruments in the United States. For example, suppose they decide to buy U.S. government bonds and the bonds of U.S. companies in order to invest their savings. How would that affect the growth of capital stock in the United States relative to China?
