Sugar rush for hyperactive Brics By Robert Plummer, Business reporter, BBC News, 2/9/09 The price of raw sugar is hitting highs not seen for nearly three decades - and the surge is having a sweet-and-sour effecet on two of the burgeoning Brie economies. Sugar futures reached more than 24 cents a pound this week, the dearest they have been since February 1981. That makes it a valuable earmer for the Centre-South region of Brazil, the largest sugar-cane growing area in the world. At the same time, Brazil's position is strengthened by a collapse in production in India, the world's number two sugar producer. The weakest monsoon rains in the Asian subcontinent for many years have led to widespread drought, hitting crops hard. However, India remains the top consumer of sugar and is relying on Brazilian imports to make up the shortfall. Up to one million tonnes of Brazilian sugar have been bought by India in recent weeks, according to traders' estimates…arrow_forward

Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

The article notes that other financial firms, including banks, insurance companies, are using Al to decrease costs and increase the accuracy of compliance with government regulations, and to "free employees to work on more valuable jobs." Source: Scott Likens, "How Artificial Intelligence is Already Disrupting Financial Services" Barrons.com, May 16, 2019. Does the use of Al increase or decrease labor productivity? Increase, because the use of Al represents technological advance. Decrease, because the use of Al increases the stock of capital Increase, because the use of Al raises investment returns. O Decrease, because the use of Al reduces the number of work hours in the economy.arrow_forward
