This document contains a chapter on supply and demand from an economics textbook. It includes multiple choice questions that test understanding of key concepts from the supply and demand model such as equilibrium price and quantity, shifts in supply and demand curves, shortages and surpluses. It also includes diagrams and tables illustrating how supply and demand determine market prices and quantities through the interaction of buyers and sellers in a market.
An economist studying the relationship between money supply, interest rates, and inflation rate is engaged in macroeconomic research, which examines an economy's overall performance rather than individual choices. A basic difference between microeconomics and macroeconomics is that microeconomics examines individual choices while macroeconomics considers overall economic performance. After years of slow growth, rising global demand for oil was met by increased non-OPEC supplies, and OPEC was unable to restrain output to lift prices, reflecting a rightward shift of the demand curve for oil.
This document provides a sample economics final exam with 30 multiple choice questions covering topics in microeconomics and macroeconomics. The questions assess understanding of concepts like elasticity, costs of production, market structures, international trade, and more. Taking this exam would help evaluate a student's mastery of core economic principles and applications.
The document discusses key concepts in microeconomics including:
1) Utility refers to how consumers rank goods and services based on satisfaction. Marginal utility is the additional satisfaction from consuming one more unit of a good. The law of diminishing marginal utility states that utility grows at a slower rate as more is consumed.
2) Consumers maximize utility when the marginal utility per dollar is equal for all goods purchased. Demand curves slope downward because consumers want less of a good at a higher price. Substitution and income effects explain how consumption changes when a good's price increases.
3) Elasticity measures the responsiveness of quantity to price changes. Demand is more inelastic for addictive drugs than casual drugs.
This document contains 30 multiple choice questions about macroeconomics, microeconomics, and other economic concepts. The questions cover topics such as the differences between microeconomics and macroeconomics, supply and demand curves, elasticity, costs of production, market structures like perfect competition and monopoly, international trade, and more. The correct answers to each question are also provided.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
