Many people struggle with the idea that economics has any place in a discussion of relevant environmental issues. The unfortunate reality, however, is that policy making surrounding these issues is often influenced by budgetary factors.  Environmental/ecological/sustainability economics can help in making sure our natural resources are appropriately valued in these budget analyses.  For each of the following methods used to value natural resources, offer a brief explanation of how they work. Cost of illness method Replacement cost method Defensive expenditures approach Contingent valuation
Suppose that this particular study compared a large group of individuals who play squash regularly with those of an equal-sized group who get no exercise at all. Playing squash does provide a good cardiovascular workout. However, we also know that squash players tend to be affluent enough to belong to clubs with squash courts. Wealthy individuals may have great access to health care, which can also improve cardiovascular health. If our analysis is sloppy, we may attribute health benefits to playing squash when in fact the real benefit comes from being wealthy enough to play squash (in which case playing polo would also be associ ated with better heart health, even though the horse is doing most of the work). Or perhaps causality goes the other direction. Could having a healthy heart “cause” exercise? Yes. Individuals who are infirm, particularly those who have some incipient form of heart disease, will find it much harder to exercise. They will certainly be less likely to play squash…

In Agricultural Financial Management, 'Financial leverage', or 'gearing', refers to the use of the borrowed funds for additional asset acquisition.

    Naboni Enterprises was established in 1991 by Mr. Nicholas Menyani following the liberalization of the Zambian economy by the government. Prior to 1991, there was little or no scope for the private sector to own and run business in the mining, agricultural and commercial sectors of the economy.  All this changed in 1991 when the government decided to liberalize the economy. State owned companies were privatized and the window was opened for the private sector to invest in major sectors of the economy.  In the case of the mining sector, the government further offered tax incentives to attract investment.   Nicholas Menyani had worked as a technician for a mining company in Kitwe for twenty-five years before his retirement in 1985. When he retired, he did odd jobs in and around Kitwe. However, the income from doing the odd jobs was typically insufficient for him to meet his daily needs and Menyani longed for an opening that would bring him a steady income. The opportunity came when,…

    The standard neo-classical assumption is that a business strives to maximize profits. Profit maximization is the process by which a firm determines the price and output level that returns the greatest profit, where marginal cost is equal to the marginal revenue. This assumption is made because despite the growing importance for market survival and frequent calls for corporate social responsibility, creating a profit appears to be the most significant single objective of organizations in our market economy. Economists' have used the traditional profit maximization theory as a matter of debate whether the firm survives and develops in order to provide a profit or makes a profit by which it can survive and develop. Any firm has to take into account how the market determines the price for goods or services which they supply. Do you agree? Why might a business firm pursue other objectives besides the objective of maximum profits? Why is profit maximization, by itself, an inappropriate goal?…

  • During the early 1990s, Hoover was faced with a period of economic recession in which discretionary expenditure on consumer durables was held back. In these conditions, most vacuum sales were replacements for worn out machines or first-time buys for people setting up home. The challenge was to increase the sales of machines bought to upgrade existing equipment. The company came up with the idea of offering free airline tickets to America for anybody buying one of its vacuum cleaners. For many people, a holiday in the USA may have been perceived as an unnecessary and unaffordable luxury during a period of recession, but one that might be justified if it came free with the purchase of an 'essential' vacuum cleaner. The immediate result of the sales promotion was to boost the company's sales of vacuum cleaners to more than double the level of the previous year. So far so good, but then serious problems set in. The first problem occurred when Hoover could not satisfy demand for its vacuum…
    In the case of Frank and his experiences at HEDB, poor planning emerged as a primary problem that had a cascading effect on various aspects of the organization (Doe and Smith 2021, 355-356). Frank joined the company with high hopes, attracted by its reputation for job security and employee development (Doe and Smith 2021, 347). However, he witnessed significant changes in the financial services industry over time, driven by deregulation and technological advancements, which pressured companies like HEDB to adapt rapidly (Doe and Smith 2021, 348). Poor planning is evident in the abrupt shift from traditional leadership appointments to hiring an external CEO, Richard, to navigate these industry changes (Doe and Smith 2021, 350). The lack of succession planning and internal talent development left long-term employees uncertain and sceptical about the future (Smith 2023, 220). This change in leadership and strategy with a clear execution plan created clarity and resistance within the…
