Economic development projects often hinge on the availability of financing and funding. Myriad resources, programs and tools exist to address this access to capital challenge. The goal of financing is to remove barriers to project completion.

International trade is projected to outpace growth in global GDP. While economies will increasingly rely on trade, climate change will affect trade patterns and specialization. On the other hand, the free trade and investment regime do have the environmental consequences. So, there is a two-way interaction between the trade and the environment. In the first part of this assignment, review the channels through which the environmental degradation impacts the trade and how free trade impacts the environment (2 pages) highlighting the connections between Trade, Environment, and the Economy (1 page) and the Conflicts between Trade Policy and Environmental Policy (2 pages). In the second part, write two pages especially focusing upon any two of the following macroeconomic consequences resulting from the mutual interaction of free trade and environmental degradation. 1.      Impacts on Comparative Advantage 2.      Free trade and the structural change and likely impact on GDP of a country 3.      Likely impacts on Employment 4.      Likely Impacts on Balance of Trade and Payments 5.      Terms of Trade Impacts

Gas prices fluctuate often and in both directions. In your initial post, respond to the following: How responsive do you think consumers will be to the price change when these fluctuations occur due to changes in supply? Why? Use the various determinants of elasticity to explain your answer. How does the price elasticity of demand for gasoline impact the effectiveness of taxes on gasoline aimed at correcting a negative externality? Consider incorporating the supply-and-demand model to demonstrate the elasticity of demand for gas and to show the effects of tax on the market for gas. In your response posts to peers, describe in detail how your own actions reflect the ideas shared in the discussion, and relate that to the concept of elasticity.

This assignment is aligned to these course outcomes: Explain economic principles and their applications in the real world. Summarize the different types of market structures and the role of government in economics. In the workplace, we are often asked to create “briefs.” A brief provides a snapshot, or short, written summary, of a situation or event that has occurred. It is generally just a few pages long and may include additional visuals like a graph, chart, or table. In this assignment, write a brief about economic concepts in an industry that interests you. Industry Selection Use this resource to select an industry and learn about the products and services it provides: NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) Select the number next to the industry to see its subsectors, e.g., select 52 to see Finance and Insurance. Select that same number again to read about the industry as a whole or select a sub-category. For example, Mining is 21, and Oil and Gas Extraction, a sub-category, is 211. develop an economic brief that is two to three (2-3) pages long in which you: Select an industry and describe the goods and/or services this industry produces. Use the NAICS resource above to help you select an industry (and/or subsector) for your brief.  Identify this industry’s market structure and at least two or more market characteristics that support this market structure. (Market structures are covered in Weeks 3 and 4.) Describe any notable microeconomic relationships, market outcomes, and/or trends in this industry. Include a graph, chart, or table containing related data. (Microeconomic relationships and market outcomes are covered in Weeks 2 through 4.) How might government impact this industry’s market prices, output, and/or market structure? (Government intervention through price controls, industry regulations, and antitrust enforcement is covered in Weeks 2 and 4.) This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different compared to other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details. (Note: You’ll be prompted to enter your Blackboard login credentials to view these standards.) Your brief should include a cover page. Your brief should be two to three (2-3) pages in length (not including the cover page), double-spaced, 12-point font. Your brief should include a minimum of one (1) reference/citation in the text.

The policies of the federal government influence the outcomes of the various activities in that economy. When government policies change or unplanned events occur, the resulting economic events or activity will usually change.  Listed below are several policies or events that affect the performance of the economy: • The federal government employs a budget plan over several fiscal years that results in significant increases in the national debt, with no relief or plans to deal with the problem. • The federal government enacts new tariffs and quotas on all imports. • The general public loses confidence in their leadership, in terms of their ability to manage the economy, especially in the area of job creation. • The federal government, in an effort to stimulate the economy, decreases taxes on all individuals except those earning over $250,000 per year.• The level of investment decreases because of a lack of confidence in the economy.• Interest rates are kept artificially low by the Federal Reserve for several years.For each of the items above, describe what would be the likely outcomes in the economy. Use the appropriate tools of analysis, such as aggregate demand and aggregate supply where appropriate, to justify and explain your answer.Submission Details:• Prepare a 3-5 page Microsoft Word document that addresses the above-noted concerns and meets APA standards.• MUST ALSO Include an additional summary page that contains 5-7 bullet points identifying the major findings or conclusions of the paper. • MUST utilize APA Standards and have IN TEXT CITATIONS. NO PLAGERISM!! All resources must be properly acknowledged.

Ability to communicate the economics of asymmetric information creating hard choices. Ability to understand policy dilemma. Ability to understand controls for moral hazard and the role of cost-effectiveness analysis. Ability to understand how regulation of various health markets is approached and why. Ability to address the difference in the Bismarck, Beveridge, and US models and the problems differently. Briefly describe how three example countries approach the issues of importance which are 1) Insurance provision (and addressing adverse selection) 2) Health care provision (and addressing arms races, monopoly, innovation, access, costs, and supply) 3) Rationing (and addressing access, moral hazard, costs, and winners and losers in each instance). For instance, if you are looking at England, Germany, and the U.S., section one would contrast how insurance provision differs among them and the tradeoffs; section two on provision; section three on rationing.
