Comparing national output across nations Go back to the Week 7 Module and look at the three weblinks near the bottom (GDP, PPP GDP and PPP GDP per capita). Each link will take you to a Wikipedia page that offers three different measures for looking at national output. To be consistent let's use IMF estimates (the first column). 1. What is PPP GDP and why do we need to use it? 2. Why is PPP GDP per capita a better measure then GDP alone? 3. Look up the stats for the following countries: 4. Why does Luxembourg rank so high and China so low in PPP GDP per capita? is everybody in Luxembourg wealthy? 5. Which large country ranks the highest in PPP GDP per capita? 6. Take a closer look at the average income level per person per year, for people living in the Central African Republic? Offer an economic explanation about how they can survive on that?.

Etude PwC sur l'économie mondiale en 2050 (fév. 2015)
http://bit.ly/Worldin2050-CP
PIB en parité de pouvoir d’achat ou PIB aux taux de change du marché : il n’existe pas une seule méthodologie pour mesurer la taille relative des économies à différents stades de leur développement. Selon l’objectif de l’exercice, le PIB mesuré en parité de pouvoir d’achat ou aux taux de change du marché peut s’avérer la mesure la plus adéquate. En général, le PIB en parité de pouvoir d’achat est un meilleur indicateur du niveau de vie ou des volumes d’importations et d’exportations parce qu’il corrige les différences de prix, alors que le PIB aux taux de change du marché est un meilleur indicateur de la taille relative du marché pour les entreprises à un certain moment. Cependant, l’histoire montre que la mesure du PIB à taux de change du marché a tendance, sur le long terme, à rejoindre le niveau du PIB à parité de pouvoir d’achat pour les économies émergentes, à mesure que leur revenu moyen se rapproche de celui des économies matures. Les équations économétriques du modèle de croissance de long terme développé par PwC, qui reflète cette relation historique, forme la base des projections de PIB aux taux de change du marché dans l’étude. Il démontre aussi que les taux de change en parité de pouvoir d’achat restent constants en termes réels sur le long terme. Les projections en termes de taux de change du marché sont sujettes à de fortes marges d’incertitude, c’est pourquoi l’étude se concentre principalement sur les projections de PIB en parité de pouvoir d’achat.

1.) You are working at an investment firm that has many investments in Lithuania. You have been asked to do a simple simulation showing the potential effects of Lithuania building a high-speed rail network, and what will happen if there is worldwide pressure on interest rates. All amounts are in millions of Litas. (The Lita is the Lithuanian currency. For this example use the exchange rate you compute, not the actual exchange rate). Government spending is projected to rise by 50 percent due to construction of the high-speed rail network
This is the status quo scenario
Total Output is equal to 5,000
Government spending is equal to 1,000
Tax revenue is equal to 1,000
Consumption is equal to 250+0.75*(Y-T);
The level of investment is 1,000-50r;
Net Exports are 500-500ε,
the world real interest rate is five percent
Assume that there are three political parties in Lithuania and each think that building the high speed rail network will have different effects on the economy. They have hired you as a consultant (moonlighting from your investment firm) to do an analysis showing what happens if their beliefs end up being true.
a.
THE LIBERAL PARTY believes that increasing government spending to build the high speed rail network will increase both G and GDP. That is G, will increase to 1,500 and GDP will increase by 500 too. Compare what happens to the economy if the Liberal party is correct. How do private savings, public savings, national savings, Net exports, and the exchange rate change from the status quo? (10 points)
b.
THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY believes that building a high speed rail network will put people to work (thus increasing G), but that it will ultimately be useless (there will be no overall wealth created), so GDP will be unchanged. The conservatives are also concerned that the government taking on new debt will be a bad sign to Lithuania’s creditors, and that borrowing the money for the high-speed rail system will cause the interest rate to rise 20 percent. Under this scenario, how do private savings, public savings, national savings, Net exports, and the exchange rate change from the status quo? (8 points)
c.
THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY believes that taking tax money and using it to build a high-speed rail network does nothing more than take money from one group of people (taxpayers) and give it to another group of people (the construction industry) and that there is no productive economic impact. How do private savings, public savings, national savings, Net exports, and the exchange rate change from the status quo? (8 points)
d. Please compare situations a, b, and c. Who do you think is correct, and why?
(8 points)
e.
The Libertarians use a microeconomics explanation about taxation to argue that the economy will be helped most by simply reducing taxes, even if people only save the money that they don’t spend on taxes (C is not affected). They say that this phenomenon is assumed away by most macro-economists. What are they .

Presentation reviewing Divergence, Big Time by Lant Prichet (2007). The article shows that while theory suggests that diminishing returns will cause national economies to converge over time, reality present a different picture.
Degree of economic_freedom_and_relationship_to_economic_growth
Freedom is an intrinsic element of the life of every person, yet is often noticed only
in the event that attempts are made at limiting it. It is possible today to select many
areas in which it is more or less consciously diminished. One of these is the field of
economic freedom, which may be reduced through bureaucracy for example, as well as
through various forms of concession. The means of preventing this particular
weakening of the development of an economy may be a gradual liberalization of it.
Individuals aspire to gain happiness through the fulfillment of their needs, assistance
in which may be provided by an increase in income. Economic growth triggers an
increase in the income of individuals, but is also equated with an increase in access to
such goods as better medical care or education. On account of this it becomes vital to
investigate the influence of the liberalization of an economy on economic growth

1.) You are working at an investment firm that has many investments in Lithuania. You have been asked to do a simple simulation showing the potential effects of Lithuania building a high-speed rail network, and what will happen if there is worldwide pressure on interest rates. All amounts are in millions of Litas. (The Lita is the Lithuanian currency. For this example use the exchange rate you compute, not the actual exchange rate). Government spending is projected to rise by 50 percent due to construction of the high-speed rail network
This is the status quo scenario
Total Output is equal to 5,000
Government spending is equal to 1,000
Tax revenue is equal to 1,000
Consumption is equal to 250+0.75*(Y-T);
The level of investment is 1,000-50r;
Net Exports are 500-500ε,
the world real interest rate is five percent
Assume that there are three political parties in Lithuania and each think that building the high speed rail network will have different effects on the economy. They have hired you as a consultant (moonlighting from your investment firm) to do an analysis showing what happens if their beliefs end up being true.
a. THE LIBERAL PARTY believes that increasing government spending to build the high speed rail network will increase both G and GDP. That is G, will increase to 1,500 and GDP will increase by 500 too. Compare what happens to the economy if the Liberal party is correct. How do private savings, public savings, national savings, Net exports, and the exchange rate change from the status quo? (10 points)
b. THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY believes that building a high speed rail network will put people to work (thus increasing G), but that it will ultimately be useless (there will be no overall wealth created), so GDP will be unchanged. The conservatives are also concerned that the government taking on new debt will be a bad sign to Lithuania’s creditors, and that borrowing the money for the high-speed rail system will cause the interest rate to rise 20 percent.
Under this scenario, how do private savings, public savings, national savings, Net exports, and the exchange rate change from the status quo? (8 points)
c. THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY believes that taking tax money and using it to build a high-speed rail network does nothing more than take money from one group of people (taxpayers) and give it to another group of people (the construction industry) and that there is no productive economic impact. How do private savings, public savings, national savings, Net exports, and the exchange rate change from the status quo? (8 points)
d. Please compare situations a, b, and c. Who do you think is correct, and why?
(8 points)
e. The Libertarians use a microeconomics explanation about taxation to argue that the economy will be helped most by simply reducing taxes, even if people only save the money that they don’t spend on taxes (C is not affected). They say that ...

Presentation reviewing Divergence, Big Time by Lant Prichet (2007). The article shows that while theory suggests that diminishing returns will cause national economies to converge over time, reality present a different picture.
Degree of economic_freedom_and_relationship_to_economic_growth
Freedom is an intrinsic element of the life of every person, yet is often noticed only
in the event that attempts are made at limiting it. It is possible today to select many
areas in which it is more or less consciously diminished. One of these is the field of
economic freedom, which may be reduced through bureaucracy for example, as well as
through various forms of concession. The means of preventing this particular
weakening of the development of an economy may be a gradual liberalization of it.
Individuals aspire to gain happiness through the fulfillment of their needs, assistance
in which may be provided by an increase in income. Economic growth triggers an
increase in the income of individuals, but is also equated with an increase in access to
such goods as better medical care or education. On account of this it becomes vital to
investigate the influence of the liberalization of an economy on economic growth

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Comparing national output across nations Go back to the Week 7 Module.pdf
- 1. Comparing national output across nations Go back to the Week 7 Module and look at the three weblinks near the bottom (GDP, PPP GDP and PPP GDP per capita). Each link will take you to a Wikipedia page that offers three different measures for looking at national output. To be consistent let's use IMF estimates (the first column). 1. What is PPP GDP and why do we need to use it? 2. Why is PPP GDP per capita a better measure then GDP alone? 3. Look up the stats for the following countries: 4. Why does Luxembourg rank so high and China so low in PPP GDP per capita? is everybody in Luxembourg wealthy? 5. Which large country ranks the highest in PPP GDP per capita? 6. Take a closer look at the average income level per person per year, for people living in the Central African Republic? Offer an economic explanation about how they can survive on that?
