Voluntary export and import restraint agreement quota

Voluntary export restraint agreement quota is both beneficial and disadvantageous to the involved countries. The trade ministries in both countries should therefore weigh its consequences to a country that imposes the quota before they come to such an agreement. Moreover, its resultant effect may not only affect the imposing country but also the citizens of the recipient country who might not buy the new product (Jones, 1984).
The restraint export quota has economic effects to a country’s development and in my opinion; it might immensely affect the importing quota country economic status. Raising the products costs to a foreign government ...

Carbon credit refers to a permit allowing a company or state to emit a ton of carbon dioxide awarded to firms that have decreased the emission of greenhouse gasses below their quota. It follows that a country that produces carbon beyond its quota needs to purchase carbon credits from the energy-efficient ones (those producing less) in what economists call “cap-and-trade.” Although most people believe that the cap-and-trade on carbon emission works, I think this is a false assumption.
Some economists opine that funds raised from trading on carbon credits would help them come up with alternative fuels reducing the ...

Introduction
In Afghanistan, security contractors play a vital role after the bulk of the U.S. troops stationed there officially departed at the end of 2014. The Department of Defense (DOD) has increasingly relied on contractors to support its operations in Afghanistan, which has resulted in numerous foreign contractors working in the country. The foreign contractors in the country number 110,000 individuals. The critical role played by the foreign contractors is in supporting various military operations. Lack of adequate contract management can prevent troops from receiving support and can also lead to wasteful spending (Schwartz 2009, p. 3).

The NAFTA was created in 1994 in order to improve the condition and process of business trade in North America. Specifically, it does this by getting rid of the tariff barriers and improving the trade infrastructures (“Chapter 8”). One particular business that benefited from the emergence of NAFTA was Walmart in Mexico. The combination of Mexico’s low-costs labor and NAFTA’S improved infrastructure and lower tariffs gave Walmart an extremely high competitive advantage. This is because while businesses like Comerci, Walmart’s main competitor, chose to make a profit out of the differences the lower tariffs made, Walmart ...

The stop and frisk procedure has been operating in The United States for over a decade now, but recently has been brought to the forefront of media attention.

A highly debated police action is the stop and frisk search. According to The Legal Dictionary: “This ...

C13 Economics Assignment 08 Part 1
Monopolies develop in several ways (Vandewetering, n.d.). There are “natural” monopolies that emerge from the scales of some businesses. Electric generation utilities, for example, require multi-million dollar investments in the plant and more millions to build the distribution infrastructure. At these levels of entry costs, virtually no competition can develop. Some monopolies develop around ownership of a scarce resource. The DeBeers company, for example, controls a large percentage of the world’s supply of diamonds.
The third form of monopoly is the result of government action. For example, patent and copyright protection ...

Question 1: Race, Racialization and the Law

Asian Americans were always viewed in the context of “Asian immigrants”. This is for several reasons.

One of the problems that Vietnam faced entering its third Five-Year Plan (1981-1985) had to do with producing enough food to feed the nation (Porter). This is why the Vietnamese Communist Party made solving food production problems a major priority at its 1982 meeting. However, the party at the time reaffirmed its commitment to keeping industry and agriculture combined as far as efforts went, because both were considered foundational to growth of the other, and Vietnam remained committed to developing an economy based on industry (Tan). Interestingly, the whole idea of agricultural development serving as an element of socialist ...

The point that fascinated me the most is, the use of scales is to present information numerically to facilitate the interpretation of data either as analysis, or in presenting the findings of research. The purpose is though apparently very simple but the real part depends on the type of scale chosen to represent it.

All these kinds of scales are different in strength, weakness, and ...
