Assume a sharp increase in government deficit occurs and it is financed by issuing new bonds. Using the supply and demand in the bond market model, what would be the resulting effect on the interest rate? Explain your answer.

Your explanation shall at least include the following: (i) specify whether this shock refers to shifter/determinant of the demand curve or the supply curve, (ii) what happens to such curve, (iii) what is the impact on the market equilibrium--whether it remains the same or changes--, and (iv) what the effect is on the interest rate.

1. As you begin your practicum course, reflect on your professional career and consider the reasons you are interested in the nurse executive role. What are the aspects of your professional career that have led you to the goal of becoming a nurse executive?

2. Significance of the Resistance to change based on literature that speaks to the relevancy of the concept selected in terms of interprofessional leadership.

Businesses hold inventories of goods, partly as finished products and partly as goods-in-process and raw materials. Suppose that we think of inventories as a type of capital, which enters into the production function. Then changes in these stocks represent investment in inventories. (Typically, economists assume that the rate of depreciation on inventories is near zero.)

1. How does an increase in the real interest rate affect the quantity of inventories that businesses want to hold? What happens, therefore, to inventory investment?

2. Consider temporary adverse shock to the production function. What happens to the amount of inventory investment?

Imagine yourself in a wheelchair and take a walk around your neighborhood. (If you can, ask a friend to push you in a wheelchair.)

1. What did you notice?

2. Would you have any difficulties getting everywhere you want to go?

3. What changes would you like to make in your community to benefit someone who uses a wheelchair? Why?

4. Did you observe anything that would be a regulatory or legal concern? (Keep the Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations in mind.)

Focus now on determinants of health. What are these? Why are they so important? How do they impact health? Review the data we have examined and think about changes we can make in the community that can have an impact on health. The vast majority of determinants of health exist outside the realm of medical care or public health. Identify an initiative designed to positively impact determinants of health. How was it mounted? By whom? Has it been successful? Why or why not? By what measure? Cite evidence of what is taking place to address the issues.

Expenditure on housing is one of the major expenses individuals face in their lifetime.

However, over the last 20 years, housing prices have fluctuated quite considerably. You have been hired by a consumer affairs think-tank and tasked with producing an economic analysis explaining economic reasons why housing prices fluctuates over time (last 20 years) and its impact on relevant markets in the economy. Finally discuss some of the welfare implications (think of consumer and producer surplus) of changes in housing prices.
