- Explain your answer comprehensively about the question stated below: Suppose Congress were to mandate that all employers had to offer their employees a life insurance policy worth at least $50,000. Use Economic Theory and concepts, both positively and normatively, to analyze the effects of this mandate on employee well-being. How this mandate will influence or affect poverty, wages, labor migration, and economic growth.arrow_forwardIn his State of the Union address in 2003, President Bush supported the idea of changing from the use of internal combustion engines to fuel cells based on hydrogen as a way of reducing air pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases. Fuel cells are nonpolluting because they only emit water vapor. President Bush proposed having the government subsidize research and development of hydrogen fuel and fuel cell technology. The president did not propose raising taxes on gasoline as a way of encouraging the use of fuel cells and reducing greenhouse gases. Currently, hydrogen is more expensive than gasoline. Would an increase in the tax on gasoline encourage the development of hydrogen-based fuel cell technology for automobiles?arrow_forwardSadie T.M. Alexander (1898-1989) was the first black woman in the U.S. to receive a PhD in Economics (1921). Alexander wrote and spoke extensively on economic and racial justice. She emphasized that black Americans experienced disproportionate income losses during the Great Depression of the 1930s relative to white Americans and that income inequality may have contributed to the Depression: Our economy went into a downward spiral… because our distribution of income was such that the masses had no income to purchase goods and the investors refused to place their income and capital in industry because there was no one with money to buy the products. (Alexander 1945 as cited in Banks 2008). She also objected to high unemployment: She saw it as leading to heightened discrimination against black workers and argued in favor of “the right of all individuals to earn a decent living” (circa 1930s/40s as cited in Banks 2008). Is Alexander’s position on the ethics of labor market and income…arrow_forward
- Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and Elon Musk of Space X have taken risks to build to their businesses and been successful at it. The fundamental premise for their success mostly hinges on the ownership of private property and free market forces. For billionaires like them who have made their wealth mostly based on their own effort and perseverance, would it be fair to impose high income tax on them to redistribute their wealth to help the poor?arrow_forwardDifferent Schools of thought propose theories to explain government failure. Based on public choice theory, briefly explain the foundations of government failure.arrow_forwardIn Germany in 2009 there was considerable debate about the extent to which the government should be intervening in the economy. For example, its citizens were worried about the future of Opel, a German car brand that was part of the ailing General Motors. Some wanted the government to make sure jobs were saved no matter what. Others, however, were more hesitant and worried about becoming the government becoming too interventionist. Traditionally since the Second World War the German government has seen itself as a referee in market issues and has avoided trying to control parts of the economy. It would regulate anti-competitive behaviour, for example, but not try to run many industries. However in the recession of 2009 when the economy was shrinking the government was forced to spend more to stimulate demand and had to intervene heavily to save the banking sector from collapse. The government also had to offer aid to businesses to keep them alive.Questions1. What are the possible…arrow_forward
- Answer this question under 100 words and draw a Lorenz graph to explain it. In the Financial Times’ article “How the pandemic is worsening inequality” (31 Dec 2020) we can read: “About 600m people work globally in the hardest-hit sectors such as hospitality and retail [...]. In addition, the informal economy has been hard-hit – and that is where some of the world’s most vulnerable workers are employed. [...] At the height of the pandemic-induced surge in unemployment, joblessness among people aged 15 to 24 in OECD countries was 7.5 percentage points higher than the start of this year, whereas among those aged 25 and over it rose by 3.2 percentage points. Pandemic-induced job losses have potentially long-lasting consequences: people who start their career during a recession experience lower earnings for a decade after graduation. [...] Around the world, relatively privileged workers have avoided the worst of the pandemic’s economic impact. Up to 40 per cent of those in the ILO’s top…arrow_forwardImagine an economy with only two people. Larry earns $20,000 per year, while Roger earns $80,000 per year. As shown in the following figure, the Lorenz curve for this twoperson economy consists of two line segments. The first runs from the origin to point a, while the second runs from point a to point b. a. Calculate the Gini ratio for this two-person economy using the geometric formulas for the area of a triangle (= ½ × base × height) and the area of a rectangle ( = base × height). (Hint: The area under the line segment from point a to point b can be thought of as the sum of the area of a particular triangle and the area of a particular rectangle.) b. What would the Gini ratio be if the government taxed $20,000 away from Roger and gave it to Larry? (Hint: The figure will change.) c. Start again with Larry earning $20,000 per year and Roger earning $80,000 per year. What would the Gini ratio be if both their incomes doubled? How much has the Gini ratio changed from before the doubling…arrow_forward- It is reported in the news that the Malaysian Government will continue to focus on reducing the country's poverty rate, particularly, following the Covid-19 outbreak. The pandemic has affected people’s livelihood, resulting in rising incidence of poverty. Since (the poor) and (the needy) are two of the eight categories of asnaf (zakat recipients), zakat authorities need to increase the amount of zakat and sadaqah collections to address the rising incidence of poverty. With the use of specific examples, suggest and explain in detail 3 (THREE) strategies that the zakat authorities could implement to increase the collections of contributions.arrow_forward
