For each question, explain whether the given statement is true, false or uncertain. Start your answer by selecting one of the options – “True”, “False” or “Uncertain” and then provide arguments to justify your selection (be brief and concise and present your arguments in 100 or less words). You need to ensure your assumptions are clear, reasonable and explicit if making any. a) On an average, real GDP per capita has grown at a much slower rate in USA than in Japan after the second world war. This is because of much lower levels of GDP per capita in USA than in Japan around the second world war time. b) The saving rate (gross domestic saving as a % of GDP) in Singapore, a small open economy, was 48% in 2017 while the investment rate (domestic investment as a % of GDP) was 25%. As a result, there was net outflow of capital from Singapore in 2017. c) Janet, a mother of two, decides to reduce her working hours to spend more time with her children.

This is not a writing assignment, this is a multiple-choice question As a result of the coronavirus crisis of 2020 and the consequent lockdowns that followed across the U.S. economic activity in many of the states with the highest levels of economic activity prior to the crisis, have come (came) to a standstill. As stock and other financial markets also declined, millions of jobs were lost weekly, and both personal and investment incomes plummetted, it is expected that the tax revenues collected by the Federal government will also be much below the previously expected levels in 2020. In order to boost the economy and avert an economic depression (a serious economic recession) the Federal government pumped over $2 trillion dollars of economic stimulus so that people whose incomes had dropped sharply or disappeared entirely, would still be able to continue making basic purchases, and this will give businesses a reason to produce and hire workers. This increased Federal spending in the…
explain whether the given statement is true, false or uncertain. Then provide arguments to justify your selection. Janet, a mother of two, decides to reduce her working hours to spend more time with her children. By itself, assuming everything else being the same, this development has necessarily resulted in a lower quality of life for Janet due to a fall in income (and resultant fall in economic activity as measured by GDP).
Identify the false statement. a. The productivity increases in manufacturing sector in the USA during the industrial era can be attributed to automation, technology advances, and business process reengineering (BPR). b. In a single-queue, single-server queuing system, if the value of Mu (µ) exceeds the value of lambda (λ), then no queue will form. c. For a single-queue, single-server queuing system, the value of lambda (λ) may exceed that of Mu (µ). d. The SERVQUAL model can be used to assess customer satisfaction based on service quality gaps.
This is not a writing assignment, this is a multiple-choice question Which of the below statements related to the Covid19 (coronavirus) crisis would you consider to be the LEAST CORRECT? Group of answer choices The Covid19 has impacted the U.S. economy and financial markets by causing fears regarding the rapid spread of the virus, and the resulting lockdowns, deaths, and the volatility in the financial markets. The economic crisis resulting from the coronavirus or Covid19 is an economic issue contained within the boundaries of Wuhan, in the Hubei province of China, and the rest of the world is able to carry on their lives and economic activities as usual. The U.S. economy has been impaced by the Covid19 because it has disrupted supply chains for resources it needs for production, to international markets for U.S. products and services. The economic impact of the Covid19 has spread to more than 160 countries in the world, and it has been declared a pandemic.

Based on what you know about Expectancy Theory, will she join her friends to play golf this summer? Group of answer choices Yes. Instrumentality and Valence are high. No. Valence is too high. No. Expectancy is low. Yes. Instrumentality is high.
Assume that John has the same political affiliation as the President of his country. For his country: the Unemployment rate is going up (indicating less people have jobs), but non-farm payrolls are going up (indicating that more people have jobs). John tells all his friends about the non-farm payroll numbers, and ignores the increase in the unemployment rate. This is an example of... Loss Aversion. Confirmation Bias. Increasing relative risk aversion. None of the above.
This is not a writing assignment, this is a multiple-choice question Which of the below stated possible desirable roles of the government in the economy does Wheelan, the author of the book, Naked Economics, consider to be the "one of the most controversial"? Group of answer choices Should the government play any role in lowering the cost of doing business in the private sector by providing uniform rules and regulations, by rooting out fraud, or by circulating a sound currency? Should the government protect people from themselves? Should the government enforce antitrust laws that forbid companies from conspiring together in ways that erase the benefits of competition?

Consider a model of revolutions. Society is made up of N > 1 people. Simultaneously, each person chooses whether or not to participate. If n people participate, the probability the revolution succeeds is n/N. If the revolution succeeds, each member of society receives the benefits of a public good worth B. In addition, each person who participated in the revolution receives a benefit R if the revolution succeeds. (This extra benefit called a club good, might represent special access to government jobs for people who helped unseat the government once the new government is formed, or it might just represent an expressive benefit of participating in a victorious revolution.) The cost of participating is c > 0. Assume that R > cand that B + R < N × c. a. Suppose a player believes n other people will participate. What is her expected utility from participating? b. Suppose a player believes n other people will participate. What is her expected utility from not participating? (c)…
