Thirlwall’s growth model: Thirlwall in his model argues that for true form of growth to exist the growth must be export oriented and there should be balance of payment equilibrium. As a starting point he takes the (Keynesian) demand-turned approach to know the major limitations on demand. He argues that instead of national income (output) being the sum of investment, consumption expenditure and exports, minus imports, it should be in growth perspective that national income growth be the weighted…

The company follows a differentiation strategy because all of the products they sale are similar, if not the same from their rivals. The products on the shelves are the commodity and price is the primary basis of competition. Price wars between competitors are one reason that Best Buy is in the position that it’s in. Buyer’s price sensitivity determines if the customers will buy from you or simply go to a rival company due to the price of the product. Just as I thought they would when I began…

needs to come up with a certain model based on the various sectors of this economy. The Leontief model is an attempt in this direction. Based on the assumption that each industry in the economy has two types of demands: external demand (from outside the system) and internal demand (demand placed on one industry by another in the same system), the Leontief model represents the economy as a system of linear equations. The Leontief model was invented in the 30’s by Professor Wassily Leontief…

Price discrimination Price discrimination is a pricing strategy whereby firms charge customers different prices for the same product or service that the offer. It is often that the seller charges each customer the maximum price that he or she is willing to pay. Such discrimination will allow a company to generate higher profits compared to standard pricing as it allows the firm to capture every last dollar of revenue available from each of its individual customers. (Anon., 2015) The Budget…

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “money often costs too much” (Berger). The world seems to revolve around money, and it often distracts people from the joys of life that bring them fulfillment. This is shown in almost every main character of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Although on the surface the characters of The Great Gatsby seem to live glamourous and joyous lives due to the riches they have, when they are examined more closely, it is evident that their money actually does not…

The conflicting and perplexing observation that water, which is more useful than diamonds, is priced lower than diamonds was proposed by economists in the 1800s as a means of understanding the role utility plays in the demand and price of a good by differentiating between total utility and marginal utility. Adam smith is considered to be the first presenter of this paradox. The diamond - water paradox states that even though water which is relatively more useful for human activity (it is…

. What is inflation risk? Inflation is the rise or fall of a price by a certain time. It could something right now then be raised tomorrow or fall tomorrow. This makes it difficult to buy items at a certain time because everyone wants to save money, so if they hear that its 900$ tonight and tomorrow it’s going to be 1200$ then you’re going to want to get the item tonight. Black Friday is a big example of inflation risk. 2. What are opportunity costs? Give an example of an opportunity cost. It…

Making an attachment on how in the future across a given period of time with limited or scarce production resources concerning what goods to produce, how much each the goods to produce, to whom the goods are to be produced and which among the goods are to be given. According to Roger Le Roy Miller (1998), the author of Economics, today and tomorrow says Economic goes to a situations in which attachment must be made about how to get with limited resources, when to apply them and for what…

Introduction Inflation is defined as the sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer buys fewer goods and services. Accordingly, inflation reflects a drop in the purchase power per unit of money, a loss of real value in the medium of exchange and unit of account within the economy. A major measure of price inflation is the inflation rate, the annualised percentage…
