Subject:
Improving the Supply Chain Crisis
For this assignment, I want to pitch my own idea for this research topic. This topic is a serious issue that has affected most of us in one way or another.
Issue
The issue that will be presented is the current supply chain crisis affecting our state, along with the rest of the United States. Many of us are currently waiting months to receive parts to fix our items. There are
also massive food shortages in our local grocery stores. The supply chain crisis is a real problem affecting
most of our daily lives.
The CoVid-19 pandemic marked the beginning of shortages worldwide. With fewer workers in manufacturing/warehouses and truck drivers, it all affects the big picture as shipping containers have sat
at ports for months waiting to be unloaded. Another issue is that besides waiting weeks or months for products, people are having to pay more for products due to high shipping costs and low supply.
Implementation
Locally within Washington state, I think some things can be improved. The purpose is to encourage the state representatives to realize the supply chain crisis and figure out a way to incentivize local businesses. Another idea is to advertise the local trucking schools in our state and it could offer an employment opportunity to high school students just graduating and are unsure of their career path. It may also appeal to someone in their 30s or 40s who may have been laid off during the pandemic. If a solution is approved, the next step would be to determine how many workers and drivers are needed to make a successful plan in improving the supply chain.
Objectives
Some of the objectives I hope this project brings about include; increased employment for local citizens, and an increased amount of truck drivers able to transport goods to stores all over Washington state. As the supply chain is repaired, the shipping costs and cost of goods will decrease as a result.
Thank you for taking the time to read this memo. If you have any questions, please contact me via email at kelsey.l.hamilton@wsu.edu

Improving the Supply Chain Crisis
Issue
The issue that will be presented is the current supply chain crisis affecting our state, along with the rest of the United States. Many of us are currently waiting months to receive parts to fix our items. For example, I have been waiting 3 months for one part to arrive to get my clothes washer fixed. As a result, I have been going to the laundromat every week. The supply chain crisis is a real problem affecting most of our daily lives. The CoVid-19 pandemic created shortages all over the world. With fewer workers and truck drivers, it all
affects the big picture as shipping containers have sat at ports waiting to be unloaded. Another issue is that besides waiting weeks or months for products, people are having to pay more for products due to high shipping costs and low supply.
Implementation
Locally within Washington state, I think some things can be improved. I suggest investing in more locally owned businesses, both in Washington state and across the United States. If more items were manufactured here in the U.S., there would be more jobs for Americans but also fewer shipping delays and a stronger supply chain. My pitch will be addressed to the state governor and local representatives for my area. The purpose is to encourage the state representatives to realize the supply chain crisis and figure out a way to incentivize local businesses. If a solution is approved, the next step would be to determine how many workers and drivers are needed to make a successful plan in improving the supply chain.

International Macroeconomics-End of Chapter Problem
During his presidency, Donald Trump attempted to alleviate the U.S. trade deficit by passing a series of tariffs on Chinese
exports. Prior to President Trump taking office, the U.S. had an average tariff rate of 3.1% on Chinese exports, but by February
of 2020, the average tariff rate had increased to 19.3%. During the same time period, the U.S. dollar went from 6.27 Chinese
yuan per U.S. dollar to 7.10 Chinese yuan per U.S. dollar.
Based on an analysis of the foreign exchange market, implementation of the tariffs would cause the dollar to
O appreciate against the yuan, consistent with the data.
appreciate against the yuan, contrary to the data.
depreciate against the yuan, contrary to the data.

Topic A Problem: The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is a federal government program that
provides people with retirement income. Either buyers of labour (employers) or sellers
of labour (workers) could be taxed to pay for CPP, but instead, the tax to pay for CPP is
evenly split between employers and workers. In 2022, a worker pays a tax (5.7% of their
earnings) to CPP, and the employer pays a tax (5.7% of their worker's earnings) to CPP.
Most people believe it sounds fair for workers and employers to split the tax bill for
CPP. How would things change if the law changed, so employers no longer paid their
half, and instead, workers had to pay all of the taxes for CPP? What things influence
how much of the burden of the CPP tax is incurred by workers or employers? If CPP and
the CPP tax were eliminated would the number of workers with jobs change? In the

Background: A CARICOM Press Release on 16 November, 2006 stated that at the opening of the Twenty-Second Meeting of the CARICOM Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED), Secretary General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) H.
