Suppose that there are two large economies in the world, country A (the foreign country) and country B (the home country). Suppose that initially, both countries have a zero current account balance and the world real rate of interest is 5 percent. Suppose now that there is a technological innovation in country A (the foreign country) only. In this case, which of the following is correct? A. The world real interest rate will rise and country B (the home coun- try) will have a current account balance surplus. B. The world real interest rate will rise and country A (the foreign country) will have a current account balance surplus. C. The world real interest rate will fall and country B (the home coun- try) will have a current account balance surplus. D. The world real interest rate will fall and country A (the foreign

Each term (3 months) the current group of economics students completed a questionnaire as to how much they would spend on new purchases compared to how much they would save/pay off bills, if they suddenly and unexpectedly received a check for $1,000. The average MPC is shown in the table below. Month in which student poll was taken Average of students’ responses as MPC March 0.41 June 0.30 September 0.22 December 0.56 What do these MPC’s imply about the students’ thinking over the course of the year? (Enter response here.) What is likely happening in the economy during the same period of time?
Greenhouse gases trap heat and make the planet warmer. Human activities are responsible for almost all of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the last 150 years. In this part, you will draw two pie graphs. A pie graph is used to show how a certain quantity has been divided into several parts, as well as to show the comparisons among these parts. 1. The data table below shows the total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by economic sector in 2013, in million metric tons of CO2. On the pie graph provided, complete the graph to show the percent of greenhouse gas emissions for each economic sector. Label each section of the pie graph with its economic sector. The percent for "Agriculture" has been drawn and labeled for you. Economic Sector Electricity Transportation Industry Commercial & Residential Agriculture Percent of Greenhouse Gas Emissions 31 27 21 12 9 80 75 70- 85 65 95 90 wlad Percent 0 100 Agri- culture 55 50 45 10 40 35 20 25 30

A country’s gini co-efficient was 0.46 last year and is now 0.48. What can we infer from the change? What would it mean if a country had a co-efficient of 0 or 1?
This question is intended to have a written response given. The writtenresponse should be 2-3 paragraphs maximum and focused on answer the specific questions of interest using the tools/concepts from lecture/tutorials. You may include agraph to support your argument/ideas, but this is not required (note: I would recommend you sketch a graph when thinking about how to answer this question, thoughthat does not need to be submitted). Leung and Seo wrote an article “How do government transfer payments affect retail prices and welfare? Evidence from SNAP” (Jan,2023) in the Journal of Public Economics. To answer this question, you do not need togo read the paper. I would in fact recommend against it as the paper is very technicaland assumes a knowledge of statistics that most students taking Econ 201 will nothave (some of the ideas will be discussed in Econ 233 and Econ 333). We will use theinformation/main ideas as a starting framework.In the United States, one of the largest welfare…
