Changes to SRAD
Aggregate demand is measured by adding consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports (C+I+G+(X-M)). Congress has yet to adopt a contractionary fiscal policy because they want to continue stimulating the economy during recovery from the pandemic recession. The short-run aggregate supply curve slopes downward because in the short-run, a fall in price leads to an increase in quantity supplied as producers take advantage of the opportunity to sell existing inventory at a higher price and quantity.
Mon printing press
The document discusses the impact of the printing press invention by Johannes Gutenberg in the 1400s-1600s. It notes that before the printing press, all books were handwritten which was a long and difficult process. The printing press allowed books and new ideas to spread widely across Europe, helping to end ignorance. This was a factor in the Renaissance period, a time of "rebirth" in European culture and society. The document suggests Gutenberg is one of the most important people to ever live due to his role in popularizing printing.

Key aspects covered include the project plan, change control process, and tracking progress against the schedule. The goal is to enable teams to communicate project status easily to management.
The power of perception
The document discusses the importance of perception and attitude in communication. It provides tips for getting in the right attitude by focusing on being positive, relaxed, and confident. Great communicators understand that perceptions are powerful and can use them to their advantage. The document also discusses avoiding assumptions, paying attention to the other person through active listening techniques, and using the right sensory words when communicating with different personality types.
Lose The Weight And you'll Feel Great!
The document provides tips for losing weight in a healthy manner by focusing on clear goals and making sustainable changes like avoiding skipping meals, substituting cauliflower mash for potatoes, choosing skim milk over creamer, eating with others to avoid overeating, dancing for exercise, using positive affirmations, and changing diet and exercise habits rather than looking for a magic pill. The overall message is that steady lifestyle changes are more effective for weight loss than crash diets or quick fixes.
Primary vs secondary source
The document outlines the daily lesson plan for a history class. It includes a bellringer activity asking students to describe an unbelievable story, a quiz on evaluating sources, and an activity where students trade items from their backpacks to make inferences about each other from 100 years in the future. Students then sort examples as primary or secondary sources and discuss theories for the fall of Rome by acting them out without saying the theory name.
Cost curves
This document provides data on the costs of producing hot dogs per hour for a business. It includes the fixed costs (FC), variable costs (VC), total costs (TC), average fixed costs (AFC), average variable costs (AVC), average total costs (ATC), and marginal costs (MC) for outputs ranging from 0 to 10 hot dogs per hour.

The striking similarity of Belly Dances - Arab, Russian and Brazilian and the Indian Classical Dances such as Bharathanatiyam, Carnatic Dance, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Mohiniyattom and Odissi has been discussed mainly with the help of pictures. They are embedded with Eroticism, Spirituality and Aesthetics. This work may be useful for the dancers, dancing students, dance critics and above all lovers of dances.
Seize ICT enabledTransformation
The document discusses how governments can help societies fully realize the benefits of networked technologies. It argues that while technology provides great promise for well-being, living standards, and social progress, its benefits are not automatic and require resilient public policies to maximize gains. Policymakers need to craft reform agendas that promote widespread adoption of ICT, address regulatory challenges, and get the fundamentals of innovation and diffusion right to achieve an ICT-led transformation of the economy and society.
Tire safety
Tires are a vital but often overlooked component of vehicles. It is important to check tires for expiration dates which are stamped on the side in a four-digit code indicating the week and year of manufacture. Tires should be replaced within four years of this date. Additionally, proper inflation is critical for safety - tires should be inflated to the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall but not above. Overloading tires or exceeding their weight ratings can also lead to failure and accidents.

Chapter 9 notes
Spain was influenced to support Columbus's voyage by a desire to convert people to Christianity and find wealth, especially gold, to finance wars and strengthen the Spanish economy. Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand expelled Jews and Muslims from Spain and wanted to spread Catholicism globally to "save souls." Columbus made four voyages with increasingly larger fleets and instructions to establish permanent colonies, hoping to find riches like gold in the Americas.

European expansion
European powers expanded their global influence between 1450-1750 due to a desire for trade, resources, and spreading Christianity. Portugal pioneered exploration down the coast of Africa in search of routes to Asia following Marco Polo's accounts of the East. Christopher Columbus' voyages for Spain in 1492 opened up European settlement and colonization of the Americas, though indigenous peoples had long inhabited the lands. Spain and Portugal raced to establish colonial empires in the Americas and Asia, while other powers like England, France, and the Netherlands soon followed to establish North American colonies focused on fur trading and other economic activities. By the 1600s, European colonial holdings had been established across large parts of Africa, Asia, North America, and South America
Age of Exploration ppt2
Europeans were driven to explore India for economic, religious, and prestige motives in the 1400s. There was demand for spices in Europe which Muslims had controlled the trade of, so Europeans wanted to cut out the middleman and find new trade routes directly to India. Christians also felt a duty to spread their religion and convert people, not leave them as Muslims. Explorers sought fame and glory for being the first to discover new areas, trade ports, or control foreign countries. New maritime technologies like the caravel ship and navigation tools helped enable these long voyages of exploration.

EarlyChristianArt.pdf
Early Christian art developed from the 1st to 5th centuries AD. Key events that influenced its development included the spread of Christianity by St. Paul and its acceptance by Emperor Constantine in the 4th century. Art forms included frescoes, mosaics using small cubes called tesserae, sculptures, and illuminated manuscripts with decorative borders and illustrations. Mosaics became more advanced and were used to decorate walls and vaults of churches. Illuminated manuscripts were hand-crafted books containing illustrations. Ivory carvings were produced and used to decorate luxury religious objects. Under Constantine's patronage, Christianity became the state religion and large basilica churches were constructed, influencing architectural styles.

06 age of exploration
There were three main motivations that drove Europeans to explore India in the 1400s: wealth, religion, and prestige. Europeans wanted to gain direct access to lucrative spice trade routes and cut out Muslim middlemen, seeking new sources of wealth. They also hoped to spread Christianity and convert locals, as promoted by the Crusades. Explorers wanted fame and glory too, hoping to be the first to discover new lands, trade ports, or claim territories, boosting their prestige. New maritime technologies like the caravel ship and navigation instruments empowered them to explore further.
Age of exploration slideshare
The document discusses the factors that inspired the exploration of the New World. It explores the push factors that encouraged Europeans to explore, such as war, competition, and new technologies. It also examines the pull factors that attracted explorers to new lands, including gold, glory, and the spread of Christianity ("God"). The document analyzes how these factors led to changes for both the explorers and indigenous populations, such as wealth generated in Europe but disease and violence inflicted upon native peoples in the Americas.

03 ch17 oligopoly
The three market structures are perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. They seem to depend on the number of firms in the industry and level of product differentiation. Oligopoly is characterized by having a few large firms, similar but not identical products, and interdependent decision making. The concentration ratio measures the percentage of total market output produced by the top four firms, with higher ratios indicating less competition. Several US industries have very high concentration ratios, including video game consoles at 100% and credit cards at 99%.

This document discusses different types of economic efficiency including allocative efficiency, productive efficiency, and dynamic efficiency. It examines these efficiencies in the context of perfect competition, monopoly, and monopolistic competition market structures. Productive efficiency refers to producing at lowest cost while dynamic efficiency involves reinvesting supernormal profits into lowering costs further. The document considers which market structure results in each type of efficiency.

This document discusses the Reformation period in Christianity between 500-1500 AD. It provides background that during this time all Christians were Catholic, led by the Pope and bishops. The priests sold indulgences claiming they could reduce time in purgatory. Martin Luther protested the Catholic Church's corruption in 1517, sparking the Protestant reformation. Luther and other reformers disagreed with practices like selling indulgences and wanted people to be able to read the Bible in their own language. The document examines key figures and events of the Reformation like Martin Luther, his 95 Theses, and the new Protestant churches that formed.
Pharm mon to perfect
This document discusses demand for lifesaving pharmaceuticals and the pricing of drugs under a monopoly. It asks how the demand curve would look if a firm had a patent on a cure for cancer and what deadweight loss would be. It also asks if such a firm should be allowed to charge any price and how quantity supplied would change if the firm price discriminated. The document then provides a graph showing the transition from a monopoly market to a competitive market when a drug patent expires and generics enter. It asks about other similar markets and provides links about copyright and public domain works.
Price discriminating monopolist
This document discusses the concept of price discrimination. It begins by defining price discrimination as selling the same good at different prices to different buyers based on their willingness to pay. It provides examples such as student/senior discounts and differences in airline ticket prices. The document explains that under perfect price discrimination, a monopolist can capture all consumer surplus as profit and eliminate deadweight loss. However, in reality firms can only imperfectly discriminate by dividing customers into groups based on observable traits related to willingness to pay. It concludes by asking questions about whether price discrimination should always be illegal and discussing the "Soup Nazi" character from Seinfeld.
Monopoly types
This document discusses monopolies and public policy related to monopolies. It begins by explaining the key characteristics of a monopoly market, including that a monopoly has total pricing power as the sole seller of a good or service. It then discusses the different types of monopolies such as geographic, government-granted, technological, and natural monopolies. The document goes on to explain how a profit-maximizing monopoly determines its optimal quantity and price using demand and marginal cost curves. It notes that a monopoly produces a lower quantity and charges a higher price than would be produced under perfect competition, resulting in deadweight loss. Finally, it discusses various public policy options for dealing with monopolies, such as antitrust laws to increase competition, regulation

Shut down point and profit
The document contains examples and explanations of microeconomic concepts related to firm behavior including:
1. How a competitive firm determines its profit-maximizing quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
2. How the marginal cost curve determines the firm's supply decision - if price is above marginal cost, the firm will increase output.
3. The difference between a firm's short-run decision to shutdown if price is below average variable cost, versus its long-run decision to exit the market if price is below average total cost.

Perfect comp m t
This document discusses competition in markets through a series of examples and questions. It begins with an experiment involving different levels of competition and asks students to consider how it affects pricing power. It then discusses the benefits and drawbacks of competition for consumers and producers. Various market structures are introduced, including perfect competition as exemplified by markets like gasoline, salt, and paper clips. Firms in perfect competition are price takers, and the document explores how they can increase revenue and profit given these constraints.
Sports assignment
The Tohono O'odham tribe wants to build a soccer stadium next to their casino. This would create both positive and negative externalities for the local community and governments. Negative externalities could include increased traffic and noise, while positive externalities could include more jobs and tax revenue. Finding ways to minimize the harm to neighbors, such as addressing traffic issues, would help gain city support for financing the stadium project. Understanding the elasticity of demand for tickets, concessions, and merchandise through price changes would help the tribe maximize revenue.
Cost curves computer lab
This document provides instructions for creating graphs using an online graphing tool to illustrate various microeconomics concepts related to supply and demand, costs of production, and market equilibrium. Students are asked to create graphs showing: a unit elastic supply/demand curve with price controls; a market with negative externalities; the effect of a per unit tax; short-run cost curves and break-even analysis; and supply/demand shifts in response to current events. The final questions provide an additional economics game and a request for new classroom tools.
04 economies of scale
This document discusses short-run and long-run costs of production. It contains the following key points:
1. In the short-run, some inputs like factories are fixed, while in the long-run all inputs are variable as firms can build or sell factories.
2. A firm's long-run average total cost curve shows the lowest average cost for each quantity based on the most efficient factory size. It is determined by connecting the minimum points of different factory sizes' short-run average total cost curves.
3. Economies of scale cause average total cost to fall as production increases due to factors like specialization. Diseconomies of scale cause costs to rise due to coordination problems in
