"Island destinations like Sri Lanka are considered fragile as islands have fragile ecosystems. However, many island destinations are highly dependent on tourism to drive economic growth and survival. Meantime, tourism produces around 8% annually of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions globally. CO2 emissions contribute to global warming which will eventually further exacerbate the existential crisis caused by rising sea levels that confronts so many island communities. And therein lies the paradox: the same industry that is seen as crucial to economic survival is also the main element in impending destruction. It is for this very reason that sustainable tourism for islands is being brought into greater focus."
Write a critical essay on the statement given. You can cite examples from any island destination but must include more examples from Sri Lanka. Instructions: The word limit is 1000 words, excluding references. You can include pictures if you want. Proper citations and references should…

If all fishermen had abided by the agreement, yields could have been maintained at high levels. LO4 Model this situation as a prisoner’s dilemma in which the players are Company A and Company B and the strategies are to keep the quota and break the quota. Include appropriate payoffs in the matrix. Explain why overfishing is inevitable in the absence of effective enforcement of the quota agreement. Provide another environmental example of a prisoner’s dilemma. In many potential prisoner’s dilemmas, a way out of the dilemma for a would-be cooperator is to make reliable character judgments about the trustworthiness of potential partners. Explain why this solution is not avail- able in many situations involving degradation of the environment.arrow_forward
- You manage one of three firms in a market. You expect that one of the other firms will produce 20 units of output and the other firm will produce 10 units of output. Your monopoly quantity is 40. How much output should your firm produce given your expectations regarding the output levels of the other two firms? O 25 O 15 O 30 O 40arrow_forwardPls help with this homework.arrow_forward4. * Two companies each own property (and mineral rights) in an oil field. Each firm therefore has the legal right to drill for oil on its land and take out as much oil as it can. The problem, of course, is that one company's actions affect how much oil the other can produce. The following matrix represents how each of these companies view the situation. The terms outside the matrix represent oil output by each firm (low, medium, or high), while the numbers in each cell show the present value of all oil to be extracted by each company, given the 2 extraction policies. The first number represents the value to Company A and the second number represents the value to Company B. As an example, if Company A pumps at a "low" rate, and Company B pumps at a “low” rate, then the value to Company A of all the oil it expects to take over the life of the field is $100 while the value to Company B of its oil is $8. Company A's Extraction Rate Low Medium High a. Company B's Extraction Rate Low High…arrow_forward
- Suppose U.S. drivers purchased $50 billion of ExxonMobil-produced gasoline during a recent year, with one-half purchased directly from ExxonMobil-owned gas stations and one-half from independent (or third-party) gas stations. Suppose further that ExxonMobil purchased the oil (which it refined into gasoline) from foreign producers for $20billion and that it receives 60 percent of the sales revenue that independent stations generate from selling ExxonMobil gasoline. In this case, the value added by ExxonMobil to U.S. GDP is $__billion.arrow_forward18.

The profits that each firm earus depends on both the member of wells it drills and the number of wells drilled by the other firm.

Rockets have ever held the first place among single fire-works since the invention of the art; and to which they are justly entitled, both for the pleasing appearance they produce when fired by themselves, and the extensive application of them to increase the beauty of the other exhibitions.They are called by the Italians Rochette and Raggi; by the Germans Raketen and Drachetten; by the French Fusées; and by the Latins Rochetæ; from which appears to be derived the name given them by the English.Which effect does the author create when providing the term for rockets in Italian, German, French, and Latin? a reasoning effect a sequencing effect a clarifying effect a summarizing effectarrow_forwardPlease answer only if you are sure about the correct answers:thearrow_forward
