What responsibilities should government and business have in respect of society?

Do you think, in most liberal democracies, society’s role is increasingly relevant? Alternatively, are social interests increasingly threatened?

Are you positive or pessimistic about the potential for corporate social responsibility?

Are you optimistic that corporations will respond positively to demands that they pay their ‘fair share’ of tax?

Esping Andersen (1990, p.10) makes the controversial statement that ‘liberals discovered that democracy would usurp or destroy the market’. What does he mean? Do you agree?

What are the varieties of capitalism?

Is this just a lot of nit-picking? Are capitalist relations of production inherently similar, and therefore we should analyse the ‘wood’ rather than the ‘trees’?

Do you think certain varieties of capitalism are ‘better’ than others? Why?

Are the world’s major corporations getting more or less global? In what respects?

Do you agree with Wilks (2013, p.42) that ‘corporations transcend the nation state’?

Or do you think that the world’s major corporations reflect the power of their home states? Or vice versa? What are the implications of the former versus the latter?

Why do you think that the globality, often transnationality, of the world’s major corporations is so often stressed?

How ‘real’ is the concept of globalisation? Which interpretation of it seems most relevant to you?
What does a ‘global corporation’ look like?

Where do you think they ‘fit’ in the international political economy theories? What role do they play as opposed to states and society?

How does a three faces of power approach help us to understand the power corporations possess? Give examples of the political power they possess in each of the three ‘faces’.

ECON 103: Sources of Long-term Economic Growth

Purpose:

Your case study paper is due at the end of Week 7. The purpose of the assignment is to apply your knowledge of the sources of nations’ long-term economic growth to develop a proposal for economic policies that encourage growth. This assignment is based on Chapter 19 in Meyer’s Everything Economic Book and on supplementary readings.

During Week 4, we studied concepts related to the sources of long-run economic growth. This growth benefits our society by advancing our well-being and improving our standard of living over time. The paper assignment for this course asks you to define and explain examples of each of the sources of economic growth, and to develop proposals for economic policies that would encourage and promote each source of growth. First, review Chapter 19 and then click on the links below to read an article and watch the video on economic growth:

You may read other articles as well and include them in your bibliography.

Using these resources:

1. Define the sources of long run economic growth.

2. Give an example of each of the sources of growth.

3. Propose one policy for each source of growth that could enhance or strengthen that source.

4. For you as an individual, what are the benefits of achieving strong economic growth in the United States? What are the main challenges?

5. Finally, at the conclusion of your paper include a brief statement reflecting on what you feel you have learned from the assignment and how that learning may be applied to your life or work going forward.

Analyse the economic factors of Chile and Canada as a possible site for a firm to establish a subsidiary

Task Overview: Analyse Chile an emerging/developing economy and Canada a developed economy as a possible site for a firm to establish a subsidiary.

1. Assume that you are responsible for a large Australian manufacturing firm that is keen to internationalise by establishing a subsidiary (office) in the host economy. Consider the economic factors that would help you make such a business decision.

2. In the context of economic factors, what are the advantages and disadvantages of investing in each economy?

The report should be a balanced consideration of the potential positive and negative aspects of each economy. Consider the opportunities and the risks for each economy. It should be a balanced consideration of the overall prospects for successful investment there. Finally, you should conclude as to which economy will be the host of your investment – your final decision/recommendation must be supported and justified.

4. Analysis

This section will cover the following sub-sections:

Economic factors

Outline the advantages and disadvantages of each economy

Consider drawing on (but do not limit yourself to) elements discussed in lectures and from your text.

5. Recommendations

Identify the choice of economy for strategic investment

Justify your reasoning drawing on and expanding on relevant sections from Part 4.

Make sure that you elaborate on key arguments from Part 4 (do not repeat arguments from Part 4, expand on them)

Ensure that your reasoning is internally consistent

Consider short term and long-term goals of the investment

 What can you say about the statistical significance of the price coefficient in this second sample?Does both examples results are important for making a decision?

Demand for iTunes

(First Example)

The standard error of this estimated coefficient is 32.78

The standard error= estimated coefficient/ t-statistic

SE= -413/-12.6

(Second example)

Suppose we had another focus group sample, ran a regression on that sample, and obtained the same coefficient on price but with a standard error 10 times as large. The standard error would be 327.78 and the new t-statistic would be -1.26. The price coefficient wouldn’t be statistically significant because the p-value is higher than 0.05 (5%).

Why is statistical significance of the price coefficient important in the second example?

Task 1: Annotated Bibliography

The first stages of the research writing process involve topic selection, formulation of a research question, preliminary research, and the development of a working thesis statement.

Now you will begin identifying and evaluating sources to determine how effectively they can support your argument. If needed, the “Topic Ideas” web link below can be used for selecting your research topic.

For this task, you will create an annotated bibliography by finding 8-10 sources for your research paper, listing the sources in APA-formatted references, and providing an annotation for each source.

Each annotation should offer a summary of the source, an evaluation of its author’s or publisher’s credibility, and an assessment of its relevance to your topic.

REQUIREMENTS

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly.

An originality report is provided when you submit your task that can be used as a guide.

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work.

Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one c aspect.

The  aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.

Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in an assessment, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing.

It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the assessment.

A. Compose an appropriate, arguable thesis statement that previews two to four main points and that you plan to use in your research paper.

B. Create an annotated bibliography of eight to ten appropriate, credible sources that you plan to use in your research paper.

Note: You may use the attached “Annotated Bibliography Template” to complete your annotated bibliography, but use of the attached template is not required.

1. Provide a full, APA-formatted reference citation for the 8–10 sources.

2. Provide an annotation (suggested length of 150 words) for each of the 8–10 sources by doing the following:

a. Summarize the information presented in the source.

b. Analyze the credibility of the author of the source or of the publication (e.g. journal, publisher, or website), if no author is present.

c. Analyze the relevance of the source to your chosen research topic.

3. Write each annotation in your own words, without the excessive use of direct quotation or extensive paraphrasing, for the 8–10 sources from part B.

C. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
