Economic growth typically results in rising standards of living and prosperity. However, it also invites negative externalities such as environmental degradation due to over-exploiting of natural resources. As such, the world is confronted with the dilemma of growth versus environmental sustainability. Developing a model explaining the disparity of economic development concentrating on drivers such as tourism sustainability, technological innovation and the quality of leadership would be important not only to facilitate future economic growth in developing countries, but also to the environmental and sociocultural sustainability which ultimately lead to global sustainable development. The present research objective is to develop and test framework of sustainable development by considering the elements of tourism, technological innovation, and national leadership. This further would facilitate growth, environmental and socio-cultural sustainability. Understanding the integration of…

Paper 1 is part of a 3-paper assignment considering the relationship, if any, between state restriction policies and infection rates. We are interested in this because economists now believe that controlling the pandemic is a key to economic growth. Our ultimate question (Paper 3) is whether state restrictive policies were a useful tool to control infections. But first we need to describe what economists believe concerning the relationship between economic growth and the pandemic, and what the evidence is. That is the purpose of Paper 1. The required elements: Explain the belief that the economy cannot grow unless the pandemic is controlled. This must be based on outside sources which must be cited. Media sources are appropriate. Provide evidence on economic growth in 2021 that shows how the economy changed—considering element 1. This must be cited as well. Media sources and/or data sources can be used.

Different businesses establish parts of their business in different parts of the planet in order to provide work for the underdeveloped or developing nations. Most of these nations profit from the globalization processes of the world because this is the way in which they acquire profit. Having a Multi-national Corporation (MNC) invest in one of those nations provides good opportunity not only for the government but also the people. Among the entities involved in the process of globalization, the people are said to profit most for the reason that they are given opportunities and jobs for their family. However in another perspective, the MNCs could be seen as the most profitable entity in the aspect of globalization. It is known to many that the labor pay for the people of the developed and…
