This document discusses fiscal policy and government expenditure. It defines fiscal policy as the manipulation of public spending, taxation, and borrowing to achieve macroeconomic objectives. It outlines the main areas of government expenditure as capital expenditure, current expenditure, and transfer payments. It then explains the concepts of balanced and unbalanced budgets, expansionary and contractionary fiscal policy, cyclical and structural budget deficits, and the public sector net cash requirement. Finally, it discusses the UK fiscal rules around borrowing only to invest and repaying welfare increases during recessions.

Abstract: The paper examines the impact of public sectoral expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria for the period 1981-2013. It was observed that the growth of government expenditure has not fully felt by the economy. The econometric methodology employed is the ARDL model and results show that while the impact of government expenditure on administration and debt servicing were positive on economic growth in the long and short run, expenditure on economic and social sectors has negative impact. We argue that this may not be unconnected with the high level of corruption prevalent in the public sector where funds that are meant for provision or maintenance of social-economic activities like agriculture, roads, transportations, schools and hospitals are diverted for personal use. The CUSUM and CUSUMSQ test show the model is stable as neither of them cross the 5% boundary. The paper recommended that government should increase expenditure to the social and economic sectors while debts or debt servicing should be reduced. Also, corruption so prevalent in the public sector must be minimized if cannot be eradicated.
This presentation discusses austerity measures as part of a government fiscal management cycle. The emphasis of the presentation is to look government debt and deficits as way to understand how to managed those areas.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
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.
2. Fiscal Policy
• Manipulation of
– Public Spending
– Taxation
– Borrowing
• To achieve macroeconomic objectives
• Fiscal Policy is going to have impacts on
Individuals and Business
Aquinas College Economics Department
3. Government Expenditure
• Includes both Central and Local Government
Spending
• Three Main Areas
– Capital Expenditure
• Schools, Hospitals, Roads etc.
– Current Expenditure
• Day to Day running of public services e.g. Pay teachers
– Transfer Payments
• Money transferred from tax payers to benefit
claimants or pensioners etc.

4. Budget Balance
• ECON2 Recap:
– Main announcements of spending come in the
Budget usually in March, and the Autumn
Statement in October/November.
– Autumn Statement used to be called the Pre
Budget Report
– Budget is delivered to the Commons
– Governments must pass budgets every year
– If a budget fails to pass, the government
crumbles
Aquinas College Economics Department
5. Budget Balance
Balanced Budget
i.e. Expenditure = Tax Revenue
Balanced Surplus
i.e. Expenditure is less than Tax Revenue
Balanced Deficit
i.e. Expenditure is greater than Tax Revenue
• G = Government Spending
• T = Taxation
Aquinas College Economics Department
7. Fiscal Stance
“whether the government is seeking to increase
or decrease AD through fiscal policy”
• A neutral fiscal stance is where G=T, so a
balanced budget course is being followed
• A neutral stance should have very little impact
on the economy as a whole.
Aquinas College Economics Department
8. Expansionary Fiscal Policy
• Sometimes known as Keynesian
Economics
• Governments will run a large budget
deficit and spend on capital projects to
boost AD and general economic activity
• Government may well try and reduce
spending after the economy picks up
Aquinas College Economics Department
9. Contractionary Fiscal Policy
• This occurs when the government runs a
large surplus in it’s budget.
• G<T
• It can be called deflationary fiscal policy
• It seeks to depress or reduce AD in an
economy.
• Typically it avoids over heating the
economy

12. Deficits
• With ceteris paribus a deficit will follow
the business cycle with recessions causing
a deficit and a boom causing a surplus in
the budget.
• These are called cyclical budget deficits
and cyclical budget surpluses
• Automatic Stabilisers help to minimise
the changes in the economy during the
cycle
Aquinas College Economics Department
13. Structural Deficit
• However these occur when the economy
under goes structural changes
– Deindustrialisation
– Rise in benefit claimants as a result of a rise
in single parent families
• This means that a government may run
deficits when they would not typically
have to
Aquinas College Economics Department
14. PSNCR
• Public Sector Net Cash Requirement
• This is the amount of money required to
cover the difference between
government spending and taxation
• Money often comes from selling Bonds on
the Bond Market
• A Negative PSNCR indicates a budget
surplus and will allow a government to
pay off national debt
Aquinas College Economics Department
15. Pros and Cons of a Deficit
Problems with a Deficit Benefits of a Deficit
Financing the deficit – interest If spending is used in capital
payments cause a leakage on the expenditure such as infrastructure
circular flow of income and schools it can increase the long
term growth prospects of an economy
Consistent deficits will cause the Avoids a large negative output gap
National Debt to increase
Fiscal Crowding out – Public sector
deficit deters private sector
investment and consumption

16. UK Fiscal Rules
• Fiscal policy now tends to influence supply side
policies more than anything else
• 1998 – Government establishes the Code for
Fiscal Stability
– GOLDEN RULE: Govt. should only borrow to invest in
new social capital e.g. schools and hospitals
– Any increase in borrowing as a result of increased
welfare payments in a recession must be repaid in a
boom
