The preferences of a consumer are represented by the utility function U = X + 2(Y)1/2 a) In the initial situation, the prices of the commodities and the income of the consumer are P X = 5 , PY = 1 and I = 150 Determine the optimal consumption vector (X* , Y* ) and compute the maximum utility (U* ) of the consumer. b) Assume the government implements a commodity tax (t). In this situation, we have P X = 5 + t , PY = 1 and I = 150 and t = 5 i. Determine the optimal consumption vector, the maximum utility of the consumer, and (iii) the government revenue from the tax. ii. Given the new prices induced by the commodity tax, determine the additional income the consumer would need to reach the same level of utility (U*) as in the initial situation. How does this additional income compare to the government revenue from the tax? Explain. .

The president of Russia is considered the head of the state and the government, while the prime minister serves as his deputy (the equivalent of a Vice President in the United States of America). They are co-heads of the government, and they both belong to the same political party – United Russia (though Putin ran as an independent in 2018). The president of Russia has a central role in the government’s political system. The president mainly influences the executive branch’s activities. He also appoints the prime minister and other members of the government, chairs the cabinet’s meetings, and gives orders to his deputy and other members regarding governance. He can also revoke any act or law passed by the government. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev (left) with Russian President Vladimir Putin (right) “Russia needs to radically overhaul its administrative and judicial systems and embrace new technology otherwise economic stagnation could threaten its security, Vladimir Putin’s chief adviser on economic reform has warned. Alexei Kudrin, the former finance minister, was asked by Mr Putin last year to come up with a new strategy for economic policymaking for the next term, following the president’s planned re-election next year. Outlining his plans on Friday, Mr Kudrin said: “We have come to face the problem that Russia has fallen behind technologically in the world. That, in my view, is the most serious challenge we face in the coming 10 to 15 years.” Financial Times, Jan 13, 2017 Alexei Kudrin Kudrin… “We will struggle with diminishing defense potential and threats to national sovereignty if we don’t become a technological power. Even military experts say that technological challenges facing Russia are bigger than geopolitical and military ones,” Mr Kudrin said. “Our entire foreign policy should be subordinated to the task of technological development.” Russia is popularly known as the world’s second largest natural gas producer and the 3rd largest oil producer. The country has a large number of major oil and gas companies. Most of the top oil companies in Russia have continued to maintain significant downstream and upstream gas and oil operations. This includes retail service stations, exploration and production divisions and petroleum refineries. This is the largest oil company in Russia. Reports show that the company produced around 1.5 billion barrels of oil in the year 2014. Besides, the company is also ranked as the 3rd largest natural gas company in the world with a production of more than 347 million barrels of oil equivalent. The company’s market capitalization is around $38.7 billion which automatically makes it the highest valued gas and oil company. Rosneft operates 13 refineries in the country and has shown tremendous interest in around seven refineries based in Eastern and Western Europe. The company maintains exploration and production operation in countries such as Canada, Vietnam, USA, Norway and.

The presidential election of 1912 was the most Progressive in US history, with the two frontrunners, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, both espousing Progressive philosophies. Although both Wilson and Roosevelt were Progressive, their attitudes toward Progressivism differed, at least in theory. This paper will provide an opportunity to review the complex nature of Progressivism, and to explore how presidents’ policies while in office often differ from their rhetoric on the campaign trail. Using the primary sources below, compare and contrast the two men’s principles based on their writings, and then, using the textbook and at least one secondary source from the library’s JSTOR or Project MUSE databases, compare each presidents’ political principles with his actions while in office—how well did their actions match their rhetoric?

The presentations yesterday and today covered these three important women in the Progressive Era: Ida Wells, Lillian Wald and Emma Goldman. We briefly covered some areas of activity that they were, respectively, involved in. What I would like from you is to do some additional research on any one of the three and tell me something more about them. You can choose to focus on their overall life's work, or a particular issue that they spoke out in favor of (or against). Examples of what you could write about: Wells' role in the National Negro Conference and formation of the NAACP; Wald's advocacy of nursing, especially in public schools; Goldman's advocacy on behalf of female contraception or same-sex relations (for Goldman, leave alone her life after 1920, when she was not in the U. S., unless you chose to write about her reaction to the Sacco and Vanzetti trial and executions). Two or three paragraphs should suffice, but I'm looking for more than just a few sentences in each. .

The Presidency During the 19th century, Congress was America’s dominant institution of government, and members of Congress sometimes treated the president with disdain. But that has all changed with the rise of the imperial presidency that began in the 20th century and has carried forward into the present. With that realization in mind, please provide a brief answer to each of the following parts of this essay question … A) Identify two methods by which contemporary presidents have increased the administrative capabilities and power of their office ? B) How has the White House specifically attempted to increase its control over the federal bureaucracy ? C) How can a president expand their power by going public ? … (In your answer, identify the most common method of going public today and explain how they use this political tactic) D) What is the OMB and how can this executive agency be utilized to increase the power of the president ? E) What is a presidential executive order ? .

Text Reading 7.2 "The Management of Organizational Justice" READING 7.2: The Management of Organizational Justice Russell Cropanzano David E. Bowen Stephen W. Gilliland Executive Overview Organizational justice has the potential to create powerful benefits for organizations and employees alike. These include greater trust and commitment, improved job performance, more helpful citizenship behaviors, improved customer satisfaction, and diminished conflict. We demonstrate the management of organizational justice with some suggestions for building fairness into widely used managerial activities. These include hiring, performance appraisal, reward systems, conflict management, and downsizing. Justice, Sir, is the greatest interest of man on earth —Daniel Webster Business organizations are generally understood to be economic institutions. Sometimes implicitly, other times explicitly, this “rational” perspective has shaped the relationship that many employers have with their workforce (Ashforth & Humphrey, 1995). Many organizations, for example, emphasize the quid pro quo exchange of monetary payment for the performance of concrete tasks (Barley & Kunda, 1992). These tasks are often rationally described via job analysis and formally appraised by a supervisor. Hierarchical authority of this type is legitimized based upon the manager’s special knowledge or expertise (Miller & O’Leary, 1989). Employee motivation is viewed as a quest for personal economic gain, so individual merit pay is presumed to be effective. Using the rational model, one can make a case for downsizing workers who are not contributing adequately to the “bottom line.” And the rational model is found at the heart of the short-term uptick in the stock price of firms that carry out aggressive cost-cutting measures (Pfeffer, 1998). Businesses certainly are economic institutions, but they are not only economic institutions. Indeed, adherence to this paradigm without consideration of other possibilities can have problematic side effects. Merit pay is sometimes ineffective (Pfeffer & Sutton, 2006), downsizing often has pernicious long-term effects (Pfeffer, 1998), and bureaucratic management can straitjacket workers and reduce innovation. We should attend to economic matters, but also to the sense of duty that goes beyond narrowly defined quid pro quo exchanges. It includes the ethical obligations that one party has to the other. Members may want a lot of benefits, but they also want something more. Organizational justice—members’ sense of the moral propriety of how they are treated—is the “glue” that allows people to work tog.
