Your consulting company is now working with another company that would like to expand its business into other countries. You have been asked to provide a comparison of the different economic systems and how the company would need to operate in each country.

Select two countries and write a 525- to 700-word paper in which you:

• Compare the economic systems of the two countries and their impact on business growth/development.
• Identify the major economic/political systems of each country.
• Discuss which major economic/political system the United States uses and why.
• Discuss the problems a business may encounter when operating in each country’s economic systems.

Question 1

A. the Japanese yen has appreciated in value.

B.U.S. citizens will buy more Japanese imports.

C. Japanese will demand less U.S. exports.

D. U.S. citizens will buy more Japanese imports.

Question 2

An increase in the value of the Japanese yen relative to the U.S. dollar will

A. increase aggregate demand in the United States.

Question 3

Table 20-1
Suppose the economy of Macroland is described by the following:
C = 200 + .8DI (DI = disposable income)
I = 300 + .2Y − 50r (Y = GDP)
(r, the interest rate, is measured in percentage points. For example, a 9 percent interest rate is r = 9).

For this economy, assume that the Federal Reserve uses its monetary policy to peg the interest rate at
r = 6
G = 750
T = .20Y
X = 200
M = 150 + .2Y
Hint: DI = Y − T

From Table 20-1, compute equilibrium GDP for Macroland.

A. 2,917

B. 2,778

C. 2,625

D. 2,525

Question 4

For the U.S, a major open economy with extensive capital flows, what is the effect of a decrease in interest rates due to expansionary monetary policy?

A. a currency depreciation and increased net exports

B. a currency depreciation and reduced net exports

C. a currency appreciation and increased net exports

D.a currency appreciation and reduced net exports

As a consultant, you need to use the Hospital database and construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the average census for hospitals. Change the level of confidence to 99%. What happened to the interval? Did the point estimate change?

Determine the sample proportion of the Hospital database under the variable “service” that are “general medical” (category 1). From this statistic, construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the population proportion of hospitals that are “general medical.” What is the point estimate? How much error is there in the interval?

Suppose you want to “prove” that the average hospital in the United States averages more than 700 births per year. Use the hospital database as your sample and test this hypothesis. Let alpha be 0.01.

On average, do hospitals in the United States employ fewer than 900 personnel? Use the hospital database as your sample and an alpha of 0.10 to test this figure as the alternative hypothesis. Assume that the number of births and number of employees in the hospitals are normally distributed in the population.

Part 3 - Inferential Statistics (2-3 paragraphs)

Use the Part 3: Inferential Statistics document.

• Create (formulate) hypotheses
• Run formal hypothesis tests
• Make decisions. Your decisions should be stated in non-technical terms.

1. Minorities in Higher Education

You are a social psychologist interested in the adjustment of international students who go to school at American universities. You decide to examine whether there are differences in scores on the Acceptability by Others Scale (AOS). The AOS is a scale that ranges from 1 to 20 (1 = feeling completely isolated – 20 feeling completely accepted) that measures acceptance within the college community. You collect scores on the AOS from a sample of international students (Int) at a small college in the United States and another sample of United States (U.S.) citizens attending the same college. The data is provided below. Conduct a two-tailed independent-samples t-test by hand using an alpha level of .05 to determine whether there are differences in AOS scores between the two samples. Record your answers below.

1. Step #1: A priori expectations
   1. Question of interest:

2. Prediction:

2. Step #2: Set up hypotheses
   1. H₀:

2. H₁:

3. Step #3: Set criteria for decision
   1. t_cv (critical value for rejecting the null hypothesis)

2. Decision rule for when to reject the null hypothesis:

4. Step #4: Collect data/ compute statistic

5. 
   Step #5: Report results in standard format – Must include test statistic , degrees of freedom, p-value , 95% confidence interval (95% C.I.) and conclusion (reject or fail to reject H₀)

​​​​​​​6. Step #6: Interpret the results of the statistical test in terms of the research question

Analyzing the macroeconomic status of a country examines the behaviors within a whole economy. In addition to the macroeconomic factors introduced in the reading materials, other components must be considered when analyzing the economic status of a country. The first component is the misery index, which is the unemployment rate and the inflation rate combined. Another consideration is the economic freedom index, which is an exploration of the overall position of a country in comparison to other countries. Finally, there is the human development index, which focuses on the people within the economy, not just the economic growth within a country. For this assignment, compare the United States and one other selected country of your choice approved by the instructor. Throughout this course, multiple resources have been included in all topic materials to provide websites that will assist in the research required for this assignment. Collect the economic data outlined in the "Country Analysis Matrix," located in Topic Materials and conduct additional research through a minimum of three readings from The Economist. You must provide citations for the three articles from The Economist. In addition to completing the matrix, write a 250-word summary identifying two major economic strengths and two major weaknesses for your selected country. Focus on identifying factors that contribute to the country's overall performance and support the growth of the economy as a whole. For example, has the country grown primarily through export promotion or domestic growth? Finally, point out any significant differences you observe between your selected country and the United States. Use the matrix you have developed and the readings from The Economist to support your analysis. GCU format is required for essays only. Solid academic writing is always expected. For all assignment delivery options, documentation of sources should be presented.

Question Set 2: Growth Rates

The data in the table below comes from FRED® Economic Data, a database compiled at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The data represents annual nominal GDP for the United States from 2011-2016. The data for nominal GDP is Gross Domestic Product, Billions of Dollars, Annual, Not Seasonally Adjusted. The data for the GDP Implicit Price Deflator is annually (not seasonally) adjusted, with a base year of 2010. The U.S. population data comes from Worldometers.[1] The U.S. annual population growth rate comes from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Use the data in the table above to calculate U.S. economic growth rates for the following years:

2016

2014

2012
