Many economists and international financial consultants suggest that capital account liberalization is an important strategy for developing countries in order to spur economic growth. Specifically, the International Monetary Fund once called for the emerging markets and other developing countries to tap into the possibilities of capital account liberalization (Gallagher & Antonion, 2013). The positive impact to developing countries of heightened access of capital flows resulted in the less attention on the risk associated with it (Takagi, 2005). However, recent pronouncements from leading financial organizations suggests that while there are benefits derived from capital account liberalization, there are disadvantages associated from ...

The research indicated a strong relationship between owning alcohol-branded merchandise (such as caps and shirts) with actual drinking of alcohol.

Keynesian Prescription To Fix Insufficient Aggregate Demand

Why Keynesians Believe That The Economy Is Demand-Driven The most important plank in all of Keynes´s economic theories is the belief that aggregate demand is the primary determinant of the health of an economy (Jahan, Mahmud, & Papageorgiou, 2014). Keynes disagreed with Say´s Law – which was largely considered demand.¨ Keynes on the other hand believed the exact opposite to be true. Namely that demand drives production. He believed that economies are composed of aggregate demand which are caused by an aggregate amount of spending. Therefore when people spend an insufficient amount of money unemployment will occur (Keynesian Economics ...

Part 3: Disadvantages, Answers with visuals

Introduction Many studies have elucidated the centrality of outsourcing in the contemporary business platform. Companies assign their business processes to external firms instead of driving innovation agenda to strengthen the local workforce. Offshore outsourcing enables businesses to register significant profits margins and enhance their competitive advantage. Studies by Rajan & Srivastava (2007) revealed an increasing turnaround time for companies that outsource services from offshore firms. Despite the apparent benefits of outsourcing such as reduction of costs and time-saving, the practice can potentially reduce the morality of employees and make them less-connected with the company. This paper explores the disadvantages of ...

The progressive taxation means that the taxes are being collected in proportions in the ability to pay, which means the people who are earning more are taxed at a high rate while the people with less income pay a lower percentage of tax.

I believe the progressive taxation is good, but still many changes must be done for the United States since the country is based on the statistics on the first place ...

The 46-year-old female patient reports pain and discomfort in her right ankle. Because she can still bear her weight on the ankle, it is possible to conclude it is not fractured. The most likely cause is strenuous physical activity, which resulted in an ankle sprain.

When collecting the patient’s medical history, it is important to focus on previous athletic injuries and previous instances of painful joints because that ...

The most important economic policy today is one that will spur economic growth. The economy has to emerge from the serious problems it is currently engulfed in which include: high unemployment, reduced consumer demand, a shrinking middle class, a large national deficit and the mishaps of the housing estate. Unemployment is a major issue of concern to date. It is critical that a policy that will spur economic growth be implemented because the other variables are largely dependent on the level of economic growth (Von Mises, 2006). A fiscal policy that will increase incomes of household will raise aggregate demand, and then firms ...

Introduction The characteristics or features of islands, especially small islands or Small Island Developing States (SIDS), are such that the local economy in these territories or regions would depend on tourism unlike larger states (Briguglio & Briguglio n.d., 1). We can attribute this to the prevalence of tourist-related activities, specifically people choosing to visit SIDS for vacations or holidays. As argued by Jack Carlsen (2012), islands are appealing tourist locations because of the images that these territories engender. The desire of people to separate themselves from fast-paced, contemporary life influence them to view islands as idyllic spots for holidays ...

Summary

The book, “Adam Smith in Beijing,” was written by Giovanni Arrighi. In his work, Giovanni portrays how China has extraordinarily risen over the years hence inviting the reassessment of the concept of “The Wealth of Nations”. In the eighteenth century, Adam Smith made predictions that eventually there would be equalization of power existing between the West and the territories conquered by the West. The book vividly explains the growth of capitalism from the days of Iberian Peninsula, Genoa, Venice, the Dutch Empire, the Spanish empire to today’s United States. Thus, the book provides a detailed explanation of the interconnections ...

Introduction

In order to ventilate on whether poor countries around the globe get richer, the author explores the possibility that poverty trips exist, and they ensure that even if the economic performance of poor countries is at par or even better than that of rich countries over a similar period, poor countries remain poor over time. I argue that the possibility of poor countries getting richer is impeded by protracted periods of negative economic growth and stagnation in the national incomes.

This is very unfortunate in countries that require talents, skills and expertise to spur economic development.

Introduction and thesis statement:

One may see beauty in several forms but essentially this is how we perceive others in our own light. McCuen Metherell and Winkler advise that one can take a story regarding a film as a typical example and look at the diverse aspects of beauty as perceived here (McCuen Metherell, Winkler Ch 10). Although American Beauty is a film which may perhaps not fit the bill perfectly in this respect, the authors in the book will most certainly appreciate the techniques and skills which are used to focus on beauty as an intrinsic natural issue.

A typical example would be when one person ...

Introduction:

American Beauty is a fine film which demonstrates the mid life crisis a person goes through when his/her marriage is failing and an affair is entered into. It contains some typical embodiments of the American dream as well as some materialistic aspects which continue to dominate the plot like a leitmotif during the film. Obviously there are comparisons and contrasts as both parents played well by Kevin Spacey and Thora Birch, the latter in the role of the materialistic wife Jane. Ultimately Lester Burnham who is the main character in the film has an affair with a cheerleader friend of his neighbor and ...

Does gender inequality reduce growth and development in India?

The ability to make the aforementioned conclusions depends on one’s ability to distinguish inherent ...
