Q4. Suppose that two pre-industrial societies have the same technology and marriage and other institutions, but one of them has a higher murder rate than the other. Depict the two societies on ONE diagram of Malthusian framework. Also, comment on what will be the difference in living standards and population? (Note: You must show the impact and transitions using the Malthusian framework including all required labeling and support your answer with brief reasoning. )

By taking into consideration the history of the Caribbean, the economic theories underpinningCaribbean development as well as the features of the typical Caribbean economy, construct ahypothetical (ideal) economic model that you consider suitable for the economic development ofthe Caribbean. Ensure that you carefully explain/justify the reasoning behind the development ofyour model.You will now need to analyse your new model. Be sure to clearly show how your “new”model improves on the other models that exist ( charts or graphs of necessary)
Some resource-rich countries have succeeded in converting resource wealth into longterm and equitable economic development, while many others have not. Naturalresources have played a fundamental role in the growth of several industrializedeconomies, including Germany and the United Kingdom, where coal and iron ore depositswere a precondition for the Industrial Revolution. The United States was the world’sleading mineral economy from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century and in thesame period became the world’s leader in manufacturing (van der Ploeg 2011). Morerecently, countries such as Botswana, Chile, and Norway have used abundant oil andmineral resources as the foundation for economic growth. However, in many othercountries, resource extraction appears to have undermined governance, fed corruptionand capital flight, and increased inequality.Required:(a) Discuss the main challenges posed by resource revenues; and(b) Discuss the special fiscal institutions and mechanisms…
(a). Provide a definition of ‘technological capability’ and ‘social capability’ and describe the differences between them. Why can we say that innovation has a ‘systemic’ nature? (b). Financial development, social capital, favourable business regulation, trade openness are different aspects of ‘social capability’ influencing innovation processes and, therefore, economic development. Make a ranking of these factors according to their observed degree of importance for economic development. Explain why ‘inclusiveness’ and ‘equality in opportunities’ can strengthen the innovation capability of an economy. (c). Figure 1 below shows the cross-country correlation between the development of the education system and the level of economic development. Analyse Figure 1 by arguing about the importance of the education system for economic development in low, emerging, and developed countries. Please answer all the parts of this question.
Using a production possibilities frontier (PPF) diagram, determine how does the PPF change in response to the events describe below.Make sure to explicitly indicate what sectors you are representing, and what sort of assumptions each event implies (i.e., a neutral effect vs a sector-biased effect). The latter follows from your assumptions on the factor intensity of the sector you are representing.d) An increase in the retirement age.e) Government policies supporting the provision of services, without affecting

Suppose that country A and country B currently have identical production possibility frontiers, but that country A devotes only 5 per cent of its resources producing capital goods over each of the next 10 years, whereas country B devotes 30 per cent. Which country is likely to experience more rapid economic growth in the future? Illustrate using a production possibility frontier graph. Your graph should include production possibility frontiers for country A today and in 10 years, and for country B today and in 10 years.

how different economic systems and different social norms can create very different business and social incentives. Note that there are a lot of different things to consider here, but just as an example, just consider how an economic system characterized by respect for property would have a fundamentally different incentives for production and trade than one which automatically assumes that all resources are common property.
Explain why converging economies may present a strong argument for limiting flows of capital but not for limiting trade.
