When Russia invaded Ukraine no one knew how long the ensuing conflict would last, or how deep the shockwaves sent through Europe, or the rest of the world would be. As the war approaches its third month, however, the economic fallout from the conflict is becoming clearer and the outlook does not look good. Against an already turbulent backdrop of global inflationary pressures amid rising food and energy prices and disrupted supply chains following the coronavirus pandemic, the war between Russia and Ukraine is exacerbating supply and demand tensions, damaging consumer sentiment and is threatening global economic growth. QUESTION: what actions should the President do to help businesspeople and workers if this situation will continue?

Suppose analysts agree that the losses resulting from climate change will reach x dollars 100 years from now. Use the concept of present value to explain why estimates of what needs to be spent today to combat those losses may vary widely. Would you expect the variation to narrow or get wider if the relevant losses were 200, rather than 100, years into the future? Complete the following using a principle amount = $100. Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. Discount rate / years 2% 5% 20 yrs O the higher rate O the lower rate 50 yrs 100 yrs Is there greater volatility with a lower discount rate or higher discount rate?
Nations across the globe are dealing with the effects of global warming. As the Earth's temperature rises, we are seeing dramatic examples of how that plays out for Earth's inhabitants. These examples include many animal species becoming extinct as habitats decrease or change; more frequent and more devastating fires in Australia and the western United States; rising water covering the city streets of Venice, Italy and threatening homes and farmland in The Netherlands; intense heat waves in India killing humans and animals alike. Here in North Carolina, we have seen more severe storms in the last year than in any 12-month period since weather reporting began in our area. Last summer, many people in our area complained about the abundance and ferocity of poison ivy. It turns out that increased CO2 levels in the environment create perfect conditions for poison ivy to thrive. What responsibility do we owe our fellow human beings to protect the environment? What responsibility do we…
Several countries currently have national laws against ecocide -- the willful or negligent destruction of ecosystems -- but these laws rarely result in penalties. Advocates believe that international prosecution for crimes of ecocide via an "ecocide law" at the International Criminal Court (ICC) would allow the prosecution of powerful firms and countries for environmental harm violations. What overall impact do you think an international ecocide law would have on globalization? Explain your answer.

Tourism Economics also explores the concept of seasonality, which refers to the fluctuating demand for tourism services throughout the year. Many destinations experience peak and off-peak seasons, impacting businesses' revenue and employment levels. For instance, a ski resort may see high demand in winter but low demand in summer. This seasonality can create challenges for sustainable economic development in tourism-dependent regions. To address these challenges, destinations often: A) Close during off-peak seasons B) Develop alternative tourism attractions for different seasons C) Ignore the impact of seasonality D) Focus only on peak season revenue
Explain why relying heavily on a single commodity like oil makes the economy vulnerable to global economic conditions and fluctuations in oil prices.
The China and ASEAN Free Trade Area (CAFTA) was officially launched on January 1, 2010. 90% of the trade products between China and ASEAN will achieve zero tariff and substantially open the service trade market. After the completion of the free trade area, the trade between ASEAN and China accounts for 13% of world trade. It has become a huge economy covering 11 countries, 1.9 billion people and a GDP of US $6 trillion. It is not only the most populous free trade area in the world, but also the largest free trade area among developing countries. 2.

The blue curve on the following graph shows the tradeoff between security and tourism; that is, combinations of security and tourism above the blue curve are not possible, and those on or below the curve are possible. The vertical axis measures security, defined as the probability that a terrorist is intercepted before entering the country. The horizontal axis measures the number of yearly visitors to the United States, in millions. Suppose that before 9/11, there were 55 million visitors per year, and the probability of intercepting any particular terrorist at customs and immigration was 10%, as indicated by the purple point (diamond symbol). After the 9/11 attacks, a debate is held in Congress. Members of both parties agree that security measures need to be improved. However, there is some disagreement as to how much additional security is needed. Suppose the first bill that is introduced mandates that security be improved so that the probability of catching a terrorist at the border…
In Germany in 2009 there was considerable debate about the extent to which the government should be intervening in the economy. For example, its citizens were worried about the future of Opel, a German car brand that was part of the ailing General Motors. Some wanted the government to make sure jobs were saved no matter what. Others, however, were more hesitant and worried about becoming the government becoming too interventionist. Traditionally since the Second World War the German government has seen itself as a referee in market issues and has avoided trying to control parts of the economy. It would regulate anti-competitive behaviour, for example, but not try to run many industries. However in the recession of 2009 when the economy was shrinking the government was forced to spend more to stimulate demand and had to intervene heavily to save the banking sector from collapse. The government also had to offer aid to businesses to keep them alive.Questions1. What are the possible…
