Microeconomics considers the behavior of individuals, households, and firms in making economic decisions with scarce resources. It contrasts with macroeconomics which looks at the overall economy. Supply and demand determine the price in a market where producers and consumers interact. Demand depends on price, income, and preferences, and is usually inversely related to price. Supply depends on price, costs, and objectives, and is usually directly related to price. The equilibrium price is where supply and demand are equal.

This document provides an overview of money, including its definition, evolution, characteristics, types, functions, demand and supply. It defines money as anything widely used and accepted in transactions. Money has evolved from commodity money backed by precious metals to modern fiat currency not backed by any commodity. Key characteristics include durability, divisibility, transportability and limited supply. The main types discussed are commodity, fiat and bank money. Functions of money include serving as a unit of value, medium of exchange, store of value and standard for deferred payments. Demand is influenced by transactions, precautionary and speculative motives, while supply includes currency and bank deposits measured by indicators like M1, M2 and M3.
The document discusses the four main functions or jobs of money: medium of exchange, standard of value, store of value, and standard of deferred payment. It explains each function in detail. Money serves as a medium of exchange by facilitating transactions and reducing the inefficiencies of bartering. It acts as a standard of value by providing a common unit to measure and compare the relative worth of goods and services. However, money is only a short-term store of value and standard of deferred payment as inflation erodes its purchasing power over the long-run.

Finance Forum Reply #1
By using ratios, financial analysts are able to “
predict financial variables and to evaluate relative performance” when looking at financial statements (Giacomino and Mielke, 1993).
This provides the advantages of being able to evaluate the strength and profitability of a company, as well as being helpful in identifying and predicting possible bankruptcy and financial distress (Giacomino and Mielke, 1993).
A disadvantage of using financial ratio analysis is that to be effective, a company has to have another company to compare to.
Without comparison, all of the financial data analyzed for a particular business could be useless.
This is especially the case with small, niche-type businesses (Accounting Explained, 2013).
Another disadvantage of using financial ratio analysis is that it is analyzing historical information, while the users of the data are more interested in “current and future information” (Accounting Explained, 2013).

Advantages and Limitations of Ratio Analysis.
Finance Forum Reply #2
Making a choice of a ratio is determined on the present need and purpose of the individual. Liquidity, leverage and investment return are what can be used to study the usage of ratios. Strong liquidity, cash and capital help with the financing that a company has for any given project.
In the article by James Horrigan, it provides a short history of financial ratio analysis. It tells of the five financial ratios that are used for the studies. The financial ratios are: working capital-to-current liabilities ratio (WC/CL) for short term liquidity; cash flow-to-current liabilities ratio (CFCL) for cash position; net worth-to-total liabilities ratio (NW/TL) for long-term solvency; return on total assets (EBIT/TA) for profit-generating ability; and revenue-to-total (REV/TA) for managerial performance (Halim, Jaafar& Osmon). Ratios are formed to be simple and are an advantage with analysis.
In the article by Paul Barnes he gives two principals for using ratios, 1. To control for the effect of size on the financial variables being examined. The use of ratios was necessarily based on a hypothesis about the relationship between the numerator variable and the denominator size variable. 2. To control for industry-wide factors. Ratios aid comparisions between subject firm and its industry. As financial ratios are constructed from two accounting variables, the joint distribution will depend on the behavior of both the numerator and the denominator and on the relationship between these two coordinates.

1) Money refers to anything that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services or debt repayment. The document defines related terms like wealth, income, stock, and flow.
2) The functions of money are discussed - as a medium of exchange, unit of account, store of value, and standard of deferred payment. The history and evolution of money is also outlined, from barter systems to modern digital payments.
3) The advantages and disadvantages of barter systems are compared. Characteristics of good forms of money are defined as portable, acceptable, durable, divisible, scarce, recognizable, and uniform. Works cited in MLA format are listed at the end.
The document defines money and describes its main functions. Money serves as a medium of exchange, a measure of value, and a standard of deferred payment. It can also act as a store of value, though inflation can weaken this function. There are two main classifications of money: commodity money, which derives its value from the commodity it is made from, and token money, which is representative of something with value but has no intrinsic value itself. Examples of each type are given.
Money serves four main functions: medium of exchange, standard of value, store of value, and standard of deferred payment. As a medium of exchange, money facilitates transactions by serving as a universally accepted way to purchase goods and services. It allows for exchange without bartering. Money also acts as a common unit of measurement that allows the relative values of goods to be expressed. However, its usefulness as a store of value and standard of deferred payment depends on its ability to maintain purchasing power over time, which it does not always do well, especially over the long run due to inflation. Without money, exchange would be difficult and require bartering goods and services directly.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
