Three Ideologies of Political Economy and beyond By Bernardo Creamer The ‘Prezi’ presentation “Copy of Three Ideologies of Political Economy”, used in class, is based on the ideas contained in the book by R Gilpin about political economics. Gilpin states that there are three ideologies that differ over a wide variation of questions such as: - What is the importance of the market for economic growth and distribution of wealth among groups and societies? - What should be the role of markets in…

In his pioneer model for dividend smoothing, Lintner (1956) proposed that firms in general have a long-run target payout ratio. The role of the managers is to gradually adjust firm payment of dividends toward the target. However, in this model adjustments are partial because they are not free and the firm has to incur a cost for the adjustment. The Lintner model for partial adjustment is given by: Dit – Dit-1 = ai + ci (D*it – Dit-1) + εit (1) where Dt and Dt-1 are dividend payments at…

4. There are many aspects of the Expectancy-Value Theory. The higher expectancy and value someone has, the higher amount of motivation they have. Usually when someone has a high motivation level, they are rewarded with a better outcome than they ever thought they could have. When it comes to expectancy, there are: the perceived difficulty level, instructional quality, the amount of resources that available, and someone’s past experience. Value is made up of cost, utility, importance, and…

In the clause, “Housing and unemployment: The search for the “American Dream”, by Robert Reed and Ejindu Ume evaluated that there is an important link between labor market actives and the housing market. The two authors will also compose a model of search and bargaining over both markets. They also highlight facts that argue that housing costs and friction in the housing market can hold an immense impact upon both markets.

First, let’s talk about what supply and demand actually represents. Supply and demand is the theory explaining the collaboration among the supply of a resource and the demand for that resource. The theory that governs supply and demand defines the effect of availability of a particular product and the desire (or demand) for that product has on price. Normally, a low supply and a high demand increases price, and the greater the supply and the lower the demand, the lower the price tends to…

general rule for hiring, because this is when the firm is not losing money, so by hiring it will not cause the firm to lose money. There are four determinants of elasticity for MRP, number one: the greater the elasticity of demand for the final product, the greater the demand for labor. Meaning, when more of a product is wanted by consumers, more laborers are required to help produce the product. Number two: the easier it is to find a substitute factor. Meaning if it is easier for a consumer…

focus on and try to prevent. Deflation comes in two different forms. One kind of deflation is malign deflation. Malign deflation occurs as the result of a collapse in aggregate demand. This type of deflation has been linked with a weak economy and continually decreasing prices (Powell, 14). The collapse in aggregate demand causes these things, which then forces the…

Price-gouging that occurs after an emergency, such as hurricane Harvey, has its obvious ethical dilemmas, but free market economists argue that it prevents scarcity. Laissez-faire economists believe that when quantity demanded increases the price must also rise because the higher price will become a necessary incentive for suppliers. They claim that when there is a scarcity, the distribution of goods and services are best done in a free market economy. The pricing system that is vital to the…

are in the group. They do not behave in such a way to maximise profits and compete against each other due to saturated market. 4. Indeterminateness of demand curve which is a direct result of interdependence. It creates uncertainty for all the companies as under oligopoly no firm can predict the result of its price policy. As a result, the demand curve facing oligopolistic firm losses its determinateness. 5. Elements of monopoly are also present in oligopolistic companies as each firm controls…
