A broad measure of an economy's size is its output. The most widely-used measure of economic output is the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). GDP generally is defined as the market value of the goods and services produced by a country. One way to calculate a nation's GDP is to sum all expenditures in the country. This method is known as the expenditure approach and is described below. 2 There are four government bodies that are involved in the national fiscal policies: * Department of Treasury - The Department of Treasury is the main body that will manage and design the fiscal policy. * Office of management and budget - The office of management and budget, is the section of the government that will develop and analyze fiscal policy. * Office of the president - The office of the president has an input on the decision making regarding the fiscal policy. * Government accountability - There is a government accountability office that will audit the fiscal policy. The Effects of Fiscal Policies on the economy’s Production and Employment: A good fiscal policy means having control...

...A. Summarize the four major pieces of legislation collectively known as the Antitrust Laws. Antitrust laws were put in place to make business’s compete fairly. These fall into four main areas: agreements between competitors, contractual arrangements between sellers and buyers, the pursuit or maintenance of monopoly power, and mergers. The four major pieces of legislation collectively known as the Antitrust Laws are; the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Celler-Kefauver Act of 1950. The Sherman Antitrust Act has two categories that are targeted; ○ to restrain or prevent trade among states or foreign nations ○ prohibit against monopolies. ○ Only the United States Department of Justice has the power to prosecute individuals who are suspected of violating this act, (unless the individual state has the power granted by its own antitrust legislation.) The Federal Trade Commission Act ○ created the Federal Trade Commission ○ gave the Commission the power to enforce United States Antitrust legislation. The Clayton Antitrust Act ○ passed to prohibit mergers and acquisitions when those would substantially lessen competition. ○ enabled state attorney generals the ability to prosecute and enforce federal antitrust laws. ○ outlawed price discrimination, regulated stock acquisitions, and tying contracts ○ The Robinson - Pitman Act amended the Clayton Antitrust Act by banning...

...The Cafeteria A friend of yours, Carolyn, is the director of food services for a large city school system. She is in charge of hundreds of schools, and hun- dreds of thousands of kids eat in her cafeterias every day. Carolyn has for- mal training in nutrition (a master’s degree from the state university), and she is a creative type who likes to think about things in nontraditional ways. One evening, over a good bottle of wine, she and her friend Adam, a sta- tistically oriented management consultant who has worked with super- market chains, hatched an interesting idea. Without changing any menus, they would run some experiments in her schools to determine whether the way the food is displayed and arranged might influence the choices kids make. Carolyn gave the directors of dozens of school cafeterias specific in- structions on how to display the food choices. In some schools the desserts were placed first, in others last, in still others in a separate line. The location of various food items was varied from one school to another. In some schools the French fries, but in others the carrot sticks, were at eye level. From his experience in designing supermarket floor plans, Adam sus- pected that the results would be dramatic. He was right. Simply by re- arranging the cafeteria, Carolyn was able to increase or decrease the con- sumption of many food items by as much as 25 percent. Carolyn learned a big lesson: school children, like adults, can be greatly influenced by small 1 ...

...REGULATION FOR CONSERVATIVES: BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS AND THE CASE FOR “ASYMMETRIC PATERNALISM” COLIN CAMERER, SAMUEL ISSACHAROFF, GEORGE LOEWENSTEIN, † TED O’DONOGHUE, AND MATTHEW RABIN INTRODUCTION Regulation by the state can take a variety of forms. Some regulations are aimed entirely at redistribution, such as when we tax the rich and give to the poor. Other regulations seek to counteract externalities by restricting behavior in a way that imposes harm on an individual basis but yields net societal benefits. A good example is taxation to fund public goods such as roads. In such situations, an individual would be better off if she alone were exempt from the tax; she benefits when everyone (including herself) must pay the tax. In this paper, we are concerned with a third form of regulation: paternalistic regulations that are designed to help on an individual basis. Paternalism treads on consumer sovereignty by forcing, or preventing, choices for the individual’s own good, much as when parents limit their child’s freedom to skip school or eat candy for dinner. Recent research in behavioral economics has identified a variety of decision-making errors that may expand the scope of paternalistic regula- Professor Camerer is the Rea and Lela Axline Professor of Business Economics, California Institute of Technology; Professor Issacharoff is the Harold R.

Glaeser December 2005 HARVARD UNIVERSITY Cambridge, Massachusetts This paper can be downloaded without charge from: http://post.economics.harvard.edu/hier/2005papers/2005list.html The Social Science Research Network Electronic Paper Collection: http://ssrn.com/abstract=860865 Paternalism and Psychology Edward L. Glaeser† Does bounded rationality make paternalism more attractive? This Essay argues that errors will be larger when suppliers have stronger incentives or lower costs of persuasion and when consumers have weaker incentives to learn the truth. These comparative statics suggest that bounded rationality will often increase the costs of government decisionmaking relative to private decisionmaking, because consumers have better incentives to overcome errors than government decisionmakers, consumers have stronger incentives to choose well when they are purchasing than when they are voting and it is more costly to change the beliefs of millions of consumers than a handful of bureaucrats. As such, recognizing the limits of human cognition may strengthen the case for limited government. INTRODUCTION An increasingly large body of evidence documenting bounded rationality and non-standard preferences has led many scholars to question eco1 nomics’ traditional hostility towards paternalism. After all, if individuals have so many cognitive difficulties then...

...Business Proposal Lindsey Brito ECON 561 Professor Ali Boloorian Business Proposal Until recently the United States health care system relied immensely on private health care insurance. In regards to public programs that provide medical coverage for the rest of Americans who cannot afford health care, there are two prominent public programs within the United States; Medicare, which is a federal social insurance program that caters to seniors. The other primary public program is Medicaid which is aimed more towards certain disabled individuals. Both Medicaid and Medicare are funded by the federal government but are managed at the state level. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed by congress and signed into law in 2010 by President Obama. The main objective of ObamaCare is to ensure the affordability and quality of healthcare, the Affordable Care Act Bill is also anticipating to curb the growth in healthcare spending in the United States (Obama Care Facts, 2014). Healthcare in the United States has historically been a private for profit industry, but with the emergence of Obamacare that is likely shift the market a bit. The prices of healthcare are tightly controlled and many practices are considered to be unfair. Only those who are able to afford insurance are the ones who are able to seek and obtain quality healthcare. For those who are unable to afford insurance and are successful in obtaining it through public programs such as, Medicare and or...

...capital and the production of goods and services. The combination of well developed financial markets and institutions, as well as a diverse array of financial products and instruments, suits the needs of borrowers and lenders and therefore the overall economy (Econ, 2005). The stock market is an economic indicator of how well the U.S. economy is doing. If investors are confident in the economy, they will buy stocks. Stocks are how companies get funded to grow larger. Usually, when someone wants to start a business, they pay for it with loans or even their own credit cards. Once they grow the company enough, they can get bank loans, or even float their own bonds to individual investors. Since the U.S. stock market is so sophisticated, it is easier in this country than in many others to take a company public. This helps the economy grow, since it provides a boost up to companies wishing to grow very large. The Federal Reserve is the nation’s central bank that works to keep the banking, financial, and payments system safe, sound and stable. It also provides financial services to the government and public. Finally, and very importantly, the Federal Reserve’s conduct of monetary policy contributes to the long run health of the economy by promoting maximum sustainable employment and stable prices (Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 2013). The chair of the Federal Reserve, known formally as the Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, is the...
