How can machine learning be used to analyze data-filled Excel spreadsheets? Let's say you're sitting on a spreadsheet with hundreds of open-ended responses from a recent customer survey. Getting insights from a batch like that will mean hours of manual work. Sorting each answer by topic and overall sentiment will prove to be a cumbersome task. And, in the meantime, urgent matters may come up that require your team's attention. A machine learning model can take care of this analysis in an easy, fast, and consistent way. Having a model analyzing your Excel spreadsheets automatically can save your team hours of valuable time and productivity. Additionally, machine learning models can take care of large spreadsheets in a matter of seconds, scaling your team's productivity upwards. This Al Economics Project will show you how to analyze data-filled Excel spreadsheet for Business Intelligence. Depending on the quality of the answer, you are awarded up to 20-32 points for each assignment. Any…
You have been tasked with developing a research report based on an economy of your choice anywhere in the world. The economy you select should be a growing economy or an economy that has experienced growth at some stage in its development. Present the finding of your research under the following headings.
BACKGROUND AND ECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALS
Here you should include background info regarding the economy you have chosen (including geographical location, size of the economy, standard of living in the economy, economic growth rates, problems facing the economy). Include facts about your chosen economy that you believe are relevant to the different subsections of your report. Your discussion should also clearly highlight the diff between micro and macroeconomics by identifying some aspects of your chosen economy's micro and macro economy.

- 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.arrow_forwardConsider the endogenous growth model AK, in which the production function is given by Y = AK. Suppose s denotes the saving rate; that δ represents the depreciation rate; and that the variable that represents the population and that grows at the rate n.

Countries with a high real per capita GDP tend to also have a high human development index (HDI) on average. We use real per capita GDP to measure the standard of living because consumption makes you happy. We use real per capita GDP to measure the standard of living because variables that determine welfare seem to be positively correlated with it. A higher human development index (HDI) implies a higher real per capita GDP. Countries with high real per capita GDP tend to have a population with higher level of education and higher life expectancy on average. We use real per capita GDP to measure the standard of living because money makes you happy.arrow_forward
