As of May, 2021; 40% of the COVID-19 vaccines administered globally have gone to people in 27 wealth nations that represent only 11% of the global population. Amidst this vaccine inequality in the backdrop of the pandemic in the world, every country should have the right to make its own vaccine. That's the principle, underpinning the campaign to temporarily waive Intellectual Property (IP) protection on coronavirus vaccines. (a) Suppose the IP is waived (the know-how is available to everyone) and Bangladesh can make its own vaccine. Using the theories of demand-supply and market, discuss the impact of this scenario on the price, quantity, profit margins of the vaccine producing firms, consumers' surplus, producers' surplus in the COVID-19 vaccine market of Bangladesh. (b) Suppose the Government of Bangladesh imposes a per-unit tax on the vaccines sold by "B". Who will bear most of this tax burden and why? (c) If the IP is not waived and only one company "B" is approved for producing…
Exercise 5. There are observed following behavioral equations in the economy: C = Co + c(Y-T) 1 = 1o - WR G = Go T = To where: Co > 0, lo > 0, Go > 0, To > 0, ce (0; 1), w > 0. Solve following problems: a) Find IS Curve b) Present graphically how change in government spending affects economy c) Present graphically how change in autonomous tax affects economy d) There is budget deficit in the economy. Government is able to reduce deficit either by increasing taxes or by reducing government spending. Explain, which instrument should be used to reduce budget deficit? e) Government is able to change either taxes or government spending.

1. Suppose that on the island, the currency is shell beads. The going price for coconuts is 1 bead and that for fish is 1 bead. You earn 20 beads per period from your job as a harvester. Given the data in the table, your equilibrium or maximum satisfaction coconut-fish combination will be ____?coconut and ____? fish. Explain why this will be the chosen combination. 2. Compare your new total satisfaction level with the old one. Old data: 2.5 beads for coconut, 1 bead for fish (optimal combination of coconut-fish was 5 coconuts and 8 fishes). Thank you.
