Debt Level vs GDP Growth

There is no doubt that the relationship between economic growth and debt levels is one of the most controversial topics that raise debates in discussions. It also generates varied interpretations among economic analysts and policymakers. The article structure in my opinion is essential as it provides arguments against previous conclusions and the authors' reasons to concede or not agree. Robert Pollin and Michael Ash (2012) have challenged previous findings by Rogoff and Reinhart on account of the methodology, omission and coding error. While Rogoff and Reinhart (2010) in their research concluded that, the average growth falls during periods when ...

This is an interview between Miller and Stephen Mosher about the impacts of population growth in a given country. Miller asks a question while Mosher answers the questions asked. In the first question, Miller is asking Mosher the reason why the imminent population have not materialised and where the mistakes could have come from. However, Mosher says that the consequences of overpopulation in some instances from Malthus and Paul Ehrlich’s are deliberately exaggerated in attempt to frighten individuals into having not more than one or two children.

According to Ozores-Hampton et al (2002), greenhouse pot trials conducted using immature and mature Municipal Solid Waste-biosolids (MSW) composts as a mulch decreased the percentage emergence and increased MDE (Mean Days to Emergence) of the seeds of several weed species. The greater the depth of composts, the more pronounced were the beneficial effects. Also, it was found that the immature composts, having higher percentages of acetic acid, required less depth of mulch to have the same effect. However, it was noted that the immature compost use would be most suitable where: a) the vegetable crop and the ...

Jobs in the production sector in Mexico increased in number. The only problem was that the jobs could ...

Article Review: Human Population, Carrying Capacity, and Resource Use

It is easy to forget that human beings are animals and that they must follow the same ecological and biological rules as the rest of the animal kingdom. Humanity has the biggest ecological footprint-- the amount of land that it would take to provide all the resources for a population and take care of its waste-- of any animal in the animal kingdom. Calculating the carrying capacity of the world for humanity is difficult, but research suggests that the ecological footprint of humanity is growing to the point where the earth may not be able to support the type of ...

Summary of Acemoglu’s video

In this video, economist Daron Acemoglu explains why nations fail economically. He singles out “extractive” political institutions as the biggest impediment to a nation’s economic prosperity. Acemoglu defines “extractive” political institutions as those that place power in the hands of a few individuals. This scenario features unfair regulations and high market-entry barriers. These factors conjure to enrich a clique in the society, while inhibiting economic progress for the majority of the people (Acemoglu). He contrasts this with governments that have expanded democratic space by protecting property rights. Nations with such political institutions encourage entrepreneurship from their citizenry as well as attract ...

Wyandotte County is situated in the US and is bordered by Johnson on the shores of river Missouri. The county has an average of 156 miles and is one of the smallest counties in the city, and this reason has forced residents to work or reside in the neighboring areas. As indicated by the county's population statistics, it is evident that the county had a steady growth but later declined during the ‘80's and ‘90's. However, it is worth noting that the decline in population growth negatively affected the economy of the county, but its revival in early 2000 ...

The “Equity premium,” written by Eugene F. Fama and R. French (2002) describes how to estimate equality premium using both dividend and the growth rate of earning to predict the rates of expected capital gain. The equality premium is important in making decisions on portfolio allocation and in estimation of capital gain. The expected market return is estimated using the returns on portfolio of stocks. To estimate the stock return, the dividend and earnings are used along with other evidence to determine if the expected return is higher than the realized average. In this case, the average stock return ...

Abstract

Cancer of the lungs is among the leading causes of cancer in the world. It has two forms; small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC constitutes about 85% of cases of lung cancer. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its mutations are found to have an important role in this cancer. Therefore, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can work effectively against NSCLC. Gefitinib, which is a first generation TKI, and afatinib, which is a second-generation TKI, are effective as a first-line therapy for advanced NSCLC. Erlotinib is effective as a second-line therapy for advanced NSCLC. ...

In the article Tableau Economique, Francois Quensay argues that real growth comes from the agricultural sector rather than the industrial and the manufacturing sectors. In an attempt to understand the causal factors of growth in an economy, Quensay defines three classes of people that include the productive class (farmers), sterile class (artisans & manufacturers) and the proprietors (the state). Quensay believes that only the agricultural sector is capable of producing a surplus that could be used to produce much more in the coming year and hence help in the spurring economic growth. The manufacturing industry, on the other hand, is incapable ...

Fiscal Policy – Aggregate Demand and Aggregate SupplyIntroduction
In managing the economy, the government may opt to carry out a fiscal policy. Fiscal policy comprises of expenditure and taxes and at times borrowing by the government. Provision of public goods is a government’s duty. A public good is a good that the private sector fails to provide either because of the fewer rewards derived from such investments or simply because of the high cost of investment in such projects (Creel 2009, pg. 141). It is thus a role of the government ensure that the citizen enjoy these goods and services. In financing ...

Fixed vs. Growth Mindset

I like the issue of human lives being daily shaped by the kind of mindset that they consciously or unconsciously choose to adopt. Psychologists have agreed on the existence of two types of mentality, fixed and growth mindsets. These have been developed in attempts to explain beliefs on personality and intelligence and to try to define different traits that are existent in populations today. I like the fact that the fixed mindset is based on the belief that a person’s characteristics are permanently carved in stone while the growth mindset is for the fact that basic qualities are ...

The link between poverty and overpopulation has caused numerous debates for many years. Arguments have emerged that poverty facilitates population growth. Poor communities have little access to quality education; therefore, they lack the exposure to family planning practices. Overpopulation has been attributed to poverty with the argument that high population growth increases competition for the limited job opportunities and overexploitation of resources. This can be explained further by the neo-Malthusian theory-the available resources on the earth become scarce when the population growth is not controlled. The growth of food production is slightly slower than the growth of population. Population ...

Introduction

Government interference play huge role in the economic processes: by conducting monetary or fiscal policy, policymakers are able to stimulate the economy during the periods of downturn and moderate too fast growth during the periods of economic boom: both these cases have devastating consequences for the general growth and development. Particularly, central banks, that make decisions regarding the monetary policy, are most important players. By using different tools, such as interest rates, open market operations, required reserves etc., central banks might influence on aggregate supply and aggregate demand, thus shifting equilibrium to the desired level (in other ...
