Case Study: Global Healthcare Public Policy Imagine that in the near future, the global community has been wracked by successive crises including economic upheaval, severe food and water shortages, and attacks on human dignity. In response, nationwide grassroots movements of young people have elected members of congress and parliament who support restoring leadership throughout the world in the areas of health, freedom, and human rights. Groundswells invoking liberty and justice are sweeping Europe, Africa, South America, Oceania, and the United States. Prompted by this worldwide atmosphere of new hope, the United Nations is convening a World Congress of Present and Future Human Flourishing. Conference sessions will focus on the right to healthcare, health disparities/health inequities, emerging infectious diseases, food and water security, and mechanisms for global environmental and climate governance.

A report from the American Council on Competitiveness​ notes: "there has been some recent progress in the digital health​ sector, which aims to better integrate information and software technologies into all aspects of​ healthcare." The report also concludes​ that: "the U.S. has rather poor health outcomes relative to other developed countries and stands out as having exceptionally low healthcare productivity when measuring outcomes against​ spending."

Briefly discuss the evidence for and against the U.S. health care sector having exceptionally low health care productivity when comparing outcomes to spending.

Body mass index (BMI) is a reliable indicator of body fat for most children and teens. BMI is calculated from a child’s weight and height and is used as an easy-to-perform method of screening for weight categories that may lead to health problems. For children and teens, BMI is age- and sex-specific and is often referred to as BMI-for-age.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports BMI-for-age growth charts for girls as well as boys to obtain a percentile ranking. Percentiles are the most commonly used indicator to assess the size and growth patterns of individual children in the United States.

The following table provides weight status categories and the corresponding percentiles and BMI ranges for 10-year-old boys in the United States.Page 241

Health officials of a Midwestern town are concerned about the weight of children in their town. They believe that the BMI of their 10-year-old boys is normally distributed with mean 19.2 and standard deviation 2.6.

In a report, use the sample information to

1. Compute the proportion of 10-year-old boys in this town that are in the various weight status categories given the BMI ranges.

2. Discuss whether the concern of health officials is justified.

As part of Cam Bowles Soup Company, Camilla Parker-Bowles has launched a new product Camilla Water Biscuits, they are sold as Camilla Crackers in the United States. Camilla Crackers are high end crackers made with premium white flour harvested in the United Kingdom, premium butter, and British spices.

How do you know if a currency is overvalued or undervalued

I have 2 questions with answers that don't seem to be matching:

If real exchange rate qUS/qforeign is more than 1, then US currency is said to be undervalued correct?

Question 1: You are given the following information. The current dollar-pound exchange rate is $2 per pound. A U.S basket that costs $100 would cost $120 in the United Kingdom. For the next year, the Fed is predicted to keep U.S. inflation at 2% and the Bank of England is predicted to keep U.K inflation at 3%. The speed of convergence to absolute PPP is 15% per year.

Answer: The dollar is overvalued because real exchange rate is 1.29 (=$120/$100). shouldn't it be undervalued since it is more than 1?

Question 2:

Suppose a new car costs 210,000 Mexican pesos in Mexico, while the same car costs $19,500 in the United States. The nominal exchange rat is currently at E$/Peso = $.10/Peso. If we assume PPP to hold, is the dollar under or overvalued? If so, by how much?

qUS/qPESO= (210,000)*(.1)/(19,500)=1.0769. The answer is that the US is overvalued as well.

Why is it that qUS/qForeign are both more than one but US currency is overvalued in one of them but undervalued by another. Is the answer wrong or am i missing something?
