For instance, they could match, lead, or lag the market depending on their financial standing and performance expectations (Paul & Elder, 2012, pg. 347). Alternatively, they could employ a combination of the three options to match their performance needs.

The main goal of the state at all stages of its development is the stabilization of the economy. At the present time, the state actively uses the tools of intervention in the economy. The main 2 types of state intervention in the market economy include fiscal and monetary policies. Fiscal policy has been a key policy tool in addressing the aggregate demand consequences of the financial crisis in the United States. (Follette & Lutz, 2010)

Objectives of fiscal policy as any stabilization (countercyclical) policies aimed at smoothing cyclical fluctuations in the economy are to ensure:

Stable economic growth; Full employment (primarily a solution to the problem of cyclical unemployment); Stable price level (problem of inflation). (Strauch & Hagen, 2000) Fiscal policy ...

Relationship between inflation and interest rates

Introduction Predominantly, most economic agents base their decisions on the current and expected changes in the economic conditions. Variations in interest rates have been used as a major variable by most researchers and policy analysts. Additionally, the behavior of interest rates in the economy has been studied since the interest rate is a significant macroeconomic factor to help in the understanding of how it is related to other macroeconomic variables and its impact on the economy. Primarily, interest rates entail the percentage of the loan that lending institutions charge as interest to borrowers, and it is mostly expressed as ...

Introduction

Over time, the growth of a city of a locality leads to the increase in the demand for electricity. The growth in population and the commercial activity puts pressure on the national grid. Without commensurate investments in the generation of power, the increase in demand results in shortages. To supplement the shortage of electricity in the region, more power can be brought in from the generation sources. However, this is complicated if the power generation plants are located far away. This is because more high voltage overhead transmission lines would be required. The Ministry for the Environment (2010) finds ...

Introduction:

With the growing possibilities of work opportunities, employees have multiple jobs to choose from. One of the key influential factor to take up the decision of a job change is compensation.

The fundamental differences between discretionary and automatic stabilizers lie in the timing of the implementation and ways of achieving particular objectives. In this regard, discretionary stabilizers involve macroeconomic policies basing on the judgment of the decision makers at a given moment as opposed to the policies set by former rules. It follows that discretionary policy would not follow preexisting rules strictly. In this regard, the discretionary stabilizers are reactionary i.e. responds to changes in the economy. For instance, the government can create a job drive for its citizens. Moreover, the subjective judgment of the policy makers is an essential ...

Measuring Campaign Effectiveness

The importance of proper coordination between the sales and marketing functions of any organization is a matter whose importance cannot be overemphasized. Although both functions are geared towards maximizing sales and profits, improper coordination often leads to wastage of resources as the sales agents chase leads of low quality, delay the follow-up of leads or dedicate insufficient selling effort towards high potential leads generated by the marketing team. The selling units, on the other hand, more often accuse the marketing team of generating low-quality leads. This situation necessitates the need for an Integrated Marketing Communications Framework (Clow & Baak 2004). ...

When a muscle is stimulated, do all motor units fire? Why, or why not?

Not all motor units fire when a muscle is activated. This is because in the reflex, not all motor units are activated (Brown et al, 2006).

1b). Explain how the force of contraction changes with recruitment.

The force of contraction depends on the activation of muscle fibers. When more motor fibers are recruited, a greater contraction force results (Zatsiorsky & Kraemer, 2006). The stimulation of the smallest muscles such as the slow twitch fibers result from the recruitment of the smallest motor nerves which, occurs first (Zatsiorsky & Kraemer, 2006).

1c). with continues recruitment, is there a point at which there is ...

- Phase response curve An understanding of how light and temperature pulses perturb circadian oscillation systems is very essential in the analysis of circadian systems entrainment. When light or temperature pulse of a given intensity falls in a specific phase in a free running oscillation, it can generate some phase advances in the preceding activity. When a pulse of light falls at some phases, it can cause phase delays. A phase response curve is therefore a plot of phase changes both in magnitude and sign expressed as a function of the perturbed oscillation phase (Pavlidis, 1973). The data of the response curve provided ...

Impact of using lowly-differentiated Stimuli on the Working Memory

Abstract Sternberg Paradigm has been used as a measure in short term memory studies since the model was developed in 1966. Several subsequent studies have, however, not being successful in duplicating the exact results achieved by Sternberg. The reason for this has been identified as the other researchers’ use of faster stimulus presentation rates. The results from these subsequent studies indicate the impact of the presentation rate on the recall capability of the working memory. It is essential to highlight that all these studies used highly differentiated stimuli. This study will, however, analyze the impact of using lowly differentiated ...

Discrimination defines the distinguishing or prejudicial treatment of a person on the basis of their perceived or actual membership in a certain category or group. This includes gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion or national origin. This forms the basis under which members of a group are restricted from the privileges and opportunities that are offered to another group (Haslyn 2012). This leads to the exclusion of a person or entities on the basis of irrational or logical decision making. Discrimination has been experienced in the United States especially between the whites and the black Americans. This has affected many aspects of black ...
