Slides for video chapter 7 consumers producers and efficiencySue Guzek
This document provides an overview of key economic concepts related to consumers, producers, and the efficiency of markets. It defines willingness to pay, consumer surplus, cost, and producer surplus. It explains that consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay for a good and what they actually pay. Producer surplus is the difference between the price received and the cost of producing a good. The document states that market efficiency is achieved when total surplus, the sum of consumer and producer surplus, is maximized. This maximizes the overall benefit to society.
Trails and outdoor recreation have significant economic impacts according to an analysis by Fred Guzek, a professor at Kansas State University. Trails increase tourism and spending in local communities as people travel to use trails and visit surrounding attractions. Trails also encourage active lifestyles that lead to health and quality of life benefits for residents. A network of trails helps draw both residents and visitors who boost local economies through spending on goods, lodging, and other services.

This document summarizes key concepts from a macroeconomics textbook chapter on tax distortion and elasticity. It discusses how the elasticity of supply impacts the deadweight loss of a tax. If labor supply is elastic, an increase in taxes will cause people to work fewer hours, but if inelastic then taxes will have little effect on labor supply. It also examines how the level of taxation impacts tax revenue, as depicted by the Laffer curve, where small taxes generate little revenue, moderate taxes generate more revenue, and very high taxes reduce revenue. The document defines the terms deadweight loss and Laffer curve.
Slides for chapter 6 supply demand and gvt policy 1 prev versionSue Guzek
This document contains slides from a macroeconomics lecture that discuss key economic concepts like supply and demand equilibrium, price ceilings and floors, tax burdens, and tax incidence. The slides contain diagrams and explanations of how price controls and taxes can impact markets and result in surpluses or shortages depending on whether the price is above or below the equilibrium price level. They also explain that a tax burden typically falls more heavily on the side of the market that is less elastic, meaning it has fewer alternatives if the price changes.
This document discusses unemployment and inflation in macroeconomics. It defines the labor force, unemployment rate, and natural rate of unemployment. The natural rate of unemployment includes frictional, structural, and cyclical unemployment and is influenced by demographics, public policy, technological change, and sectoral shifts. Okun's Law states that for every 1% decline in real GDP, the unemployment rate rises by 0.5%. Unemployment and inflation policies discussed include unemployment insurance and minimum wage laws.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is used to measure the overall cost of goods and services purchased by a typical consumer. It is an important gauge for measuring inflation rates over time. The CPI basket includes categories like food, housing, transportation, medical care, recreation, and others. It is calculated by fixing the basket of goods, finding current prices, computing values, choosing a base year, and then computing price changes as a percentage from the base year. While the CPI is a key economic indicator, it has limitations like substitution bias and an inability to measure quality changes in goods.

This document contains information about saving and investment from an economics textbook chapter. It includes definitions of key terms like saving, investment, GDP, and loanable funds. It also presents some basic formulas for calculating GDP and the relationship between saving and investment. The document uses interactive multiple choice questions to test the reader's understanding of whether examples represent saving or investment. It demonstrates how a tax increase on investment income would reduce the supply of loanable funds, increase market interest rates, and lower the quantity of loanable funds available.
This document is a quiz on research methods concepts from lessons 1 through 4. It contains 7 multiple choice questions testing understanding of key terms like hypotheses, study types, internal validation, and applying results. The quiz provides feedback to the user on whether their answers are correct or incorrect and directs them back to the question if needed.
The document outlines a recruitment plan for an ESC program with the goals of increasing inquiries, applications, enrollments, and student satisfaction while decreasing abandonment rates. It describes the current recruitment sources and factors influencing student decisions. The strategy proposes increasing social media presence and relationship building, improving the application and information process, and providing more guidance to students on visa processes and life in Clermont Ferrand to achieve recruitment and retention targets over the coming year.
