...ECON 2013 Paper Fall 2012 Term: Written Assignment #1: Econ MIA Photo + Essay International airports are typically the engine and lifeblood of economic activities as they typically pump billions of dollars to a local economy. The Miami economy is highly dependent on the tourism, cargo and export/import industries as these are a tremendous source of employment and tax revenue for the city and arguably one of the main contributors to the tourism and export and import industries in any city is its main airport. Miami International Airport (MIA) is no exception to this cardinal rule as it contributes the following statistics to the city of Miami according to the Miami International Airport Website (http://www.miami-airport.com/about_us.asp) and Time Magazine: • an estimated economy impact of $26.7 billion • 282,000 direct and indirect jobs • 1 out of 4 jobs to the local economy • a capital improvement program of $6.2 billion • Nation’s second largest airport for international passengers and cargo • Approximately handles 38 million passengers a year • Largest cut-flower operation in the world (15000 boxes of buds from South America) • 1143 weekly flights to Latin America (largest gateway to Latin America) • 98% of all visitors to Miami arrive by air at MIA • 13.5 million passengers a year between MIA and Latin America • American Airlines with a hub in MIA is the city’s largest private employer The aforementioned statistics are eye popping when one considers that...

The world has taken a trip to a completely different way of working and functioning through what is just for people, what commodities are and the way people use their resources. The first major economic system that is traceable is that of the primitive economies, the early eras of society. Human behavior has evolved along with the rest of the world and how people act is directly responsible to what time period that they lived in and how they changed economics. First, in primitive economics, the main driving force was having enough supplies to survive and to strengthen communal bonds through cooperation of the tribe. During this time period resources and material wealth were largely shared with all members of the community to support reciprocity, everyone had equal income and would preform tasks for each other. Along with reciprocity, the chief or shaman sometimes redistributed goods for fairness and there was a division of labor. According to Polanyi, “Division of labor, a phenomenon as old as society, springs from differences inherent in the facts...

The core of our analysis lies in the determinants of the division of labor. We consider a world economy comprising two large countries, with a continuum of goods and one factor of production, labor. Each good is characterized by its complexity, defined as the number of tasks that must be performed to produce one unit. There are increasing returns to scale in the performance of each task, which creates gains from specialization, and uncertainty in the enforcement of each contract, which create transaction costs. The trade-off between these two forces pins down the size of productive teams across sectors in each country. Under free trade, the country where teams are larger specializes in the more complex goods. In our model, it is the country where the product of institutional...

...ECON 401 Assignment 2, version E 1. (a) Explain the new trade theory. What is the role of economies of scale in this theory? The new trade theory specialize in the production and export of particular products not because of underlying differences in factor endowments, but because in certain industries the world market can support only a limited number of firms. So a country’s pattern of trade may be a reflection of the ability of firms in that nation to capture first-mover advantages. Two important points: • Impact on economies of scale, trade can increase the variety of good available to consumers and decrease the average cost of those goods. • When output required attaining economies of scale representing a huge portion of the world demand, world trade in certain products may be dominated by countries whose firms were first movers in their production. i.e. Boeing The role of economies of scale is the ability to spread fixed costs over a large volume and the ability to high-volume producers to utilize specialized employees and equipment that are more productive than less specialized employees and equipment. Economies of scale are a major source of cost reduction in many industries. (b) Discuss the implications of the new trade theory. The new trade theory was designed to account for the ratio of trade to GDP has increased, trade has become more concentrated among industrialized countries...
