Which quotation supports the analysis that money only holds value if a government can insure it with actual goods? "People bartered. Bartering is trading goods or services without the exchange of money. So, a family that had a goat but needed seeds to plant crops might barter with another family that had seeds and wanted goat milk." (paragraph 3) "They used cacao in important rituals and associated it with the gods. But the Aztecs O found it difficult to grow cacao trees. To make sure they always had a supply of cacao, the Aztecs demanded that conquered groups pay tribute in cacao beans." (paragraph 6) "The Congress promised that they could be redeemed at a later date. But the Congress printed too many bills. They were easily counterfeited. And they were not backed by any asset that gave people confidence that they would hold their value. The Continentals soon became worthless." (paragraph 11) "Or, as in the case of the European Union, nations have joined together to develop a O shared currency for greater economic stability. Most nations use a combination of coins and paper money." (paragraph 15)

Consider the following dialogue between two economics students, Janet and Larry, after a recent economics lecture. JANET: Hi Larry. Today the professor said that money is helpful because systems of exchange work better when everyone agrees to use a single common item to buy and sell things. But I don’t see how money is useful. As long as I specialize in something I have a comparative advantage in, like making cookies, I should be able to trade my cookies for whatever I need! I wouldn't need money! LARRY: Okay, I see where you are confused. Let’s run through it one more time. Suppose there is no money and you continue your job making cookies. With no money, you will actually have to be paid in cookies. Now, you still need water to survive, right? Well, in order to get water, you'll need to pay the water company your _______ (options: cookies, water, cash) in exchange for the water company's _________ (options: cash, cookies, water). JANET: Yes. So what’s wrong with that?…

127.) Suppose Robinson and Crusoe are stranded on a desert island in the Pacific Ocean and discover a large amount of currency from a previous shipwreck. Friday catches 20 fish and sells them to Robinson Crusoe for $40 apiece. Robinson Crusoe uses the fish he purchased from Friday to make 40 gallons of fish oil, which he sells to Friday for $20 per gallon. If the transactions above are the only ones that take place in 2002, what is the GDP of the island in 2002? $0 $800 $1600 $2400
1) Suppose the U.S. government wants to stop importing foreign cars. They believe by not importing cars from other countries they will have absolute advantage in manufacturing cars, and this will help the U.S. economy. Explain what is wrong with this idea. Use a graph to illustrate your point.
5. The price of trade Suppose that Ireland and Liechtenstein both produce beets and wheat. Ireland's opportunity cost of producing a bushel of wheat is 5 bushels of beets while Liechtenstein's opportunity cost of producing a bushel of wheat is 11 bushels of beets. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wheat in the two countries, you can tell that Ireland production of wheat and Liechtenstein has a comparative advantage in the production of beets. Suppose that Ireland and Liechtenstein consider trading wheat and beets with each other. Ireland can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of beets for each bushel of wheat it exports to Liechtenstein. Similarly, Liechtenstein can gain from trade as of wheat for each bushel of beets it exports to Ireland. long as it receives more than Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of wheat in terms of beets) would allow both Liechtenstein and Ireland to…

Gains and Losses from Trade in the Specific-Factors Model - End of Chapter Problem Home produces two goods, computers and wheat, for which capital is specific to computers, land is specific to wheat, and labor is mobile between the two industries. Home has 100 workers and 100 units of capital but only 10 units of land. a. Suppose that when Home opens up to international trade, the price of computers rises. In the accompanying diagram, shift the appropriate curve to show this change, holding the price of wheat constant. b.

Q.1.1 Consider the information contained in the table below. The table shows output rates in France and Holland for two goods (cheese and wine), when resources are fully and efficiently utilised. Country Cheese Wine Holland 450 150 France 400 100 Based on this information: (1) Holland should specialise in wine production and should export wine to France; (2) Holland has the absolute advantage in both cheese and wine production and consequently will not benefit by trading with France; (3) France should specialise in wine production and should export wine to Holland; (4) Holland should specialise in both cheese and wine production and should export both goods to France.
Questions: 1. What do you think are the possible causes of overpopulation in our country? 2. Is there any positive side of having huge population in our country? 3. What do you think will be the implications of this issue in our country? 4. Explain how the other field or sector in the country will be greatly affected by overpopulation in our country? (For example, in terms of food supply etc.) 5. What do you think are the things that the government should do to resolve this issue?
4. Specialization and trade When a country specializes in the production of a good, this means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Because of this comparative advantage, both countries benefit when they specialize and trade with each other. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Maldonia and Lamponia. Both countries produce lemons and sugar, each initially (that is, before specialization and trade) producing 18 million pounds of lemons and 9 million pounds of sugar, as indicated by grey points (star symbols) labeled point A.
