Should a Government Fiscally Intervene in a Recession and, If So, How?
Taiji HARASHIMA*
April, 2017
Abstract
The validity of discretionary fiscal policy in a recession will differ according to the cause and
mechanism of recession. In this paper, discretionary fiscal policy in a recession caused by a
fundamental shock that changes the steady state downwards is examined. In such a recession,
households need to discontinuously increase consumption to a point on the saddle path to
maintain Pareto efficiency. However, they will not “jump” consumption in this manner and
instead will choose a “Nash equilibrium of a Pareto inefficient path” because they dislike
unsmooth and discontinuous consumption and behave strategically. The paper concludes that
increasing government consumption until demand meets the present level of production and
maintaining this fiscal policy for a long period is the best option. Consequent government debts
can be sustainable even if they become extremely large.

1 INTRODUCTION
Discretionary fiscal policy has been studied from many perspectives since the era of Keynes
(e.g., Keynes, 1936; Kopcke et al., 2006; Chari et al., 2009; Farmer, 2009; Alesina, 2012;
Benhabib et al., 2014). An important issue is whether a government should intervene fiscally in
a recession, and if so, how. The answer will differ according to the cause and mechanism of
recession. Particularly, it will be different depending on whether “disequilibrium” is generated.
The concept of disequilibrium is, however, controversial and therefore arguments continue even
now about the use of discretionary fiscal policy in a recession. In this paper, the concept of
disequilibrium is not used, but instead the concept of a “Nash equilibrium of a Pareto inefficient
path” is used.
Recessions are generated by various shocks (e.g., Rebelo, 2005; Blanchard, 2009;
Ireland, 2011; Schmitt-Grohé and Uribe, 2012; McGrattan and Prescott, 2014; Hall, 2016).
Some fundamental shocks will change the steady state, and if the steady state is changed
downwards (i.e., to lower levels of production and consumption), households must change the
consumption path to one that d.

Multiple Choice (0.5 point each) 1. Sam orally agreed to sell .docx
Multiple Choice (0.5 point each):
1. Sam orally agreed to sell Jamie some land for $500,000. Jamie paid Sam the $500,000; Sam gave Jamie the deed to the land. Jamie took possession of the land and began building a cabin on it. One month later, Sam tried to retake possession of the land by arguing that the contract for the sale was invalid because it was oral, not written. Sam sued Jamie to invalidate the contract and retake the land.
The court will likely conclude that Sam will:
a) Win; the sale exceeded $500 so the contract must be written to be valid under the Statute of Frauds.
b) Win; all land sales contracts must be written.
c) Lose; because the contract was fully executed Sam cannot rescind the contract.
d) Lose; because Jamie had begun building a cabin on the property, Sam cannot rescind the contract.
2. On Tuesday, Jon offered to sell his CD collection to Sandy for $100. Sandy replied, "I'm interested. I'll think it over and let you know Thursday whether I want to buy the CDs." On Wednesday, Jon agreed to sell the CDs to Jason, and Jason immediately gave Jon a letter that stated:
"Jon, I will buy your CD collection for $100. As we agreed, I will pay you on Friday when I pick up the CDs. Yours truly, Jason."
Upon Jon's receipt of this letter on Wednesday, what best describes Jon’s contract agreement(s)?
a) By forming an agreement with Jason, Jon breached his contract with Sandy because he did not effectively revoke his offer to Sandy.
b) Jon has formed contracts with both Jason and Sandy because Jon did not effectively revoke his offer to Sandy and created an enforceable written agreement with Jason.
c). Jon and Jason have formed a valid, enforceable contract; Jon’s offer to Sandy was properly revoked.
d) Jon effectively revoked his offer to Sandy, but has not formed an enforceable contract with Jason because Jason has not yet paid for the CD collection.
3. Mac and Rhamad signed a business contract with a clause that provides that if a dispute arises they must submit to binding arbitration to resolve the dispute. After they had been doing business together for a year, a dispute arose under the terms of the contract. Rather than submit to arbitration, Mac filed a lawsuit against Rhamad. Most likely the court will:
a) Hear the lawsuit because Mac cannot be compelled to submit to arbitration; he is constitutionally entitled to a jury trial if he requests a trial.
b) Conduct a hearing, then order a remedy without compelling Mac to submit to arbitration or to a jury trial.
c) Compel Mac to submit to arbitration to resolve the dispute.
d) Hear the lawsuit in a trial, then compel Mac to submit to arbitration, if Mac is not satisfied with the trial decision.

Much has been written on the self-perceived ability of individuals t.docx
Much has been written on the self-perceived ability of individuals to change the nature of their lives (Rotter, 1990; Judge & Bono, 2001). While many psychologists interpret ideas such as "locus of control" and "self-efficacy" as individually variable personality characteristics, they may actually reflect worldviews of a nation, ethnic group, or geographic community. How might these worldviews affect the self-perceived ability of individuals to change the nature of their lives? How should these worldviews be addressed or compensated for in the scholarly research?

Much has been written on the self-perceived ability of individuals t.docx
Much has been written on the self-perceived ability of individuals to change the nature of their lives (Rotter, 1990; Judge & Bono, 2001). While many psychologists interpret ideas such as "locus of control" and "self-efficacy" as individually variable personality characteristics, they may actually reflect worldviews of a nation, ethnic group, or geographic community. How might these worldviews affect the self-perceived ability of individuals to change the nature of their lives? How should these worldviews be addressed or compensated for in the scholarly research?

Next, discuss the main steps that management could take in order to address the reasons why IT fails to deliver returns. Provide a rationale for your response. From the e-Activity, review the main factors that challenge the realization of IT value within health care organizations. Next, select one (1) health care provider, and discuss the manner in which the chosen organization assesses the value of IT investments and ensures that the value is delivered.
The reasons discussed in Chapter 17 are:
The magnitude of the organization's IT operating and capital budgets is large.
The projected growth in IT budgets exceeds the growth in other budgeting categories.
Regardless of the amount spent, some members of the leadership team feel that not enough is being spent.
It is difficult to evaluate IT capital requests.
When asked to " list three instances over the last five years where IT investments have resulted in clear and unarguable returns to the organization" leaders may return blank stares.
Failing to clearly link IT investments and organizational strategy.
Asking the wrong question.
Conducting the wrong analysis.
Not stating Investment Goals.
Not managing outcomes.
Leaping to an inappropriate solution.
Mangling the project management.
Failing to learn from studies of IT effectiveness.

Context
Motivational Theories
Motivation refers to the set of factors that initiate, sustain, and direct behaviors. Several motivation theories, including instinct theory, drive theory, incentive theory, and arousal theory have been widely applied in psychological practice where they are linked to other theories. For example, recent attachment theory studies examined the circumstances surrounding motivation and behavior in adolescents. In medical practice, drive theory is combined with neuroendocrine theory to understand the relationship between homeostasis and hunger. Understanding the neurobiology of hunger and appetite may ultimately lead to treatments for obesity and eating disorders.
Show More
Emotion
Emotion is an increase or decrease in physiological activity that is accompanied by feelings that are characteristic of the emotion and often accompanied by a characteristic behavior or facial expression. According to the James-Lange theory, emotional experience results from the physiological arousal that precedes it, and different emotions are the result of different patterns of arousal. According to Schachter and Singer's cognitive theory, physiological arousal contributes only
to the emotion's intensity, while the identity of the emotion is based on the cognitive assessment of the situation.
Memory Acquisition
Anterograde amnesia refers to impairment in forming new memories, while retrograde amnesia is the inability to remember events prior to impairment. Anterograde and retrograde amnesia are common learning and memory disorders. They have been linked to damage in certain brai.
Motivation at New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc (NUMMI)By Gary.docx
Motivation at New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc (NUMMI)
By
Gary Convis
Origins of NUMMI.
The Fremont plant of General Motors opened in 1965, and after experiencing nearly decades of labour-management conflict, closed in 1982. At the time of its closing, over 6000 workers lost their jobs and nearly an equal number of grievances remained unresolved.
Soon after the closing, two forces set in motion events that would lead to a reopening of the plant with very different management philosophies and practices. GM needed to build a compact car for its product line to compete with the popularity of smaller imports, and management wanted to study the production methods of Japanese auto makers. Toyota needed to manufacture automobiles closer to its major offshore markets and wondered how well its highly efficient Toyota Production System would transfer to American workers and suppliers.
What emerged from these two independent management motives was an agreement to form a 50/50 joint venture to build both GM and Toyota vehicles in the Fremont plants. A separate corporate entity was formed, New United Manufacturing, Inc (NUMMI – pronounce “new me”), and the plant was reopened in 1984 with a decidedly different approach to management.
The UAW Labor Contract.
For starters, the new management team negotiated with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union a unique contract. While former plant employees would be given first chance at the new jobs, former seniority rights were abandoned. Management focused on a new ideology that targeted building the highest quality vehicles at the lowest possible costs. Workers would be involved in deciding work standards, job allocations and layout, training, job rotation, and other work elements.
The dozens of former specialised job classifications were abandoned. Only two classifications are used at NUMMI for hourly workers – skilled trade and nonskilled. Within each classification workers are piad the same hourly rate with only a modest difference between the two classifications. A small 60 cents per hour premium is paid to team leaders who guide the planning and work of four to five people. Even professional people recruited to the firm, such as engineers, occupy their first several weeks on the job working on the line. This helps inculcate in them an appreciation for the tedious and stressful pressures workers face on the line.
A no-strike, no-layoff agreement was part of the contract, a form of job security. Gary Convius, NUMMI’s senior vice president until he was promoted to head up North American operations in 2000, believes the contract provision “buys the hearts of people.” Flexibility prevails instead of the confrontational enforcement of rules.
Management Philosophy and System.
When Convis was recruited into his original position as general manager of the plant, he was advised by a Toyota executive, “Manage as if you had no power.” The advice was to forget the command-and-control legacy of Detroit and strive i.

Context
Motivational Theories
Motivation refers to the set of factors that initiate, sustain, and direct behaviors. Several motivation theories, including instinct theory, drive theory, incentive theory, and arousal theory have been widely applied in psychological practice where they are linked to other theories. For example, recent attachment theory studies examined the circumstances surrounding motivation and behavior in adolescents. In medical practice, drive theory is combined with neuroendocrine theory to understand the relationship between homeostasis and hunger. Understanding the neurobiology of hunger and appetite may ultimately lead to treatments for obesity and eating disorders.
Show More
Emotion
Emotion is an increase or decrease in physiological activity that is accompanied by feelings that are characteristic of the emotion and often accompanied by a characteristic behavior or facial expression. According to the James-Lange theory, emotional experience results from the physiological arousal that precedes it, and different emotions are the result of different patterns of arousal. According to Schachter and Singer's cognitive theory, physiological arousal contributes only
to the emotion's intensity, while the identity of the emotion is based on the cognitive assessment of the situation.
Memory Acquisition
Anterograde amnesia refers to impairment in forming new memories, while retrograde amnesia is the inability to remember events prior to impairment. Anterograde and retrograde amnesia are common learning and memory disorders. They have been linked to damage in certain brai.
Motivation at New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc (NUMMI)By Gary.docx
Motivation at New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc (NUMMI)
By
Gary Convis
Origins of NUMMI.
The Fremont plant of General Motors opened in 1965, and after experiencing nearly decades of labour-management conflict, closed in 1982. At the time of its closing, over 6000 workers lost their jobs and nearly an equal number of grievances remained unresolved.
Soon after the closing, two forces set in motion events that would lead to a reopening of the plant with very different management philosophies and practices. GM needed to build a compact car for its product line to compete with the popularity of smaller imports, and management wanted to study the production methods of Japanese auto makers. Toyota needed to manufacture automobiles closer to its major offshore markets and wondered how well its highly efficient Toyota Production System would transfer to American workers and suppliers.
What emerged from these two independent management motives was an agreement to form a 50/50 joint venture to build both GM and Toyota vehicles in the Fremont plants. A separate corporate entity was formed, New United Manufacturing, Inc (NUMMI – pronounce “new me”), and the plant was reopened in 1984 with a decidedly different approach to management.
The UAW Labor Contract.
For starters, the new management team negotiated with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union a unique contract. While former plant employees would be given first chance at the new jobs, former seniority rights were abandoned. Management focused on a new ideology that targeted building the highest quality vehicles at the lowest possible costs. Workers would be involved in deciding work standards, job allocations and layout, training, job rotation, and other work elements.
The dozens of former specialised job classifications were abandoned. Only two classifications are used at NUMMI for hourly workers – skilled trade and nonskilled. Within each classification workers are piad the same hourly rate with only a modest difference between the two classifications.
