...Trade Policies on the Solar Energy Market Outline Abstract Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Literature Review Chapter 3: Method of Procedure Materials Procedure Chapter 4: Results Limitations Chapter 5: Summary Chapter 6: Conclusions References Appendix 1: Graphs and Charts Graph of Solar Energy Market Growth, Graph of Polysilicon in the Global Market Appendix 3: Survey (simulated) Abstract The United States and Europe have stated goals of increasing renewable energy usage (Lewis & Wiser). Solar energy is a key component of any renewable portfolio (Scheer, 2007). However, many industry professionals have stated that countries such as China and Vietnam have an unfair trade advantage due to heavily subsidized industries (Lewis & Wiser). The aim of this research is to examine how implementing tariffs have affected the market growth of the solar energy market. This paper will rely on secondary sources for market information and for growth predictions. It will also rely on examples of previous markets and the historical record of market contraction after implementing severe trade restrictions. Using these sources, it can be shown that trade restrictions slow growth in the solar market in countries that implement them. This paper is designed to be used by professionals who work in the solar energy industry in order to make predictions of market changes as future trade tariffs are implemented or repealed. Introduction Solar energy projects are considered...

...interlinked which each and other. When we talk about business, we can never neglect the environment factor and vice-versa. If a person opens a business of manufacturing Glue and Adhesives, He has to be aware of the environmental factor. The interaction\relation between environment and business can be positive as well as negative. The positive relation between these two components could be the awareness which is being spread all over the world about the importance of environment in someone's in today's world. Business produces the goods and services that meet our needs, wants and desires. It is this process that has lead to much of the destruction of the environment that has taken place. This damage continues on a daily basis. Purpose There can be little doubt that mankind and indeed the whole planet is facing an environmental crisis. The environment crisis can be seen as global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, tropical deforestation or top soil erosion. The role of business is playing a crucial role in creating this crisis and what it can do to help protect the environment in the future. So the purpose is to know how the business can help our environment and in which way it can bring up the positive change. The goals are: * To know how the business is affecting the environment. * To know in what way the business can contribute to the society. * To know what is the present scenario of the businesses and what they are doing to preserve the environment. *...

...3%) for the Euro-zone (Nederlandse Vereniging van Banken, 2014). Home ownership is a goal that has been aggressively promoted by the Dutch government, particularly since the mid 1980’s. Significant and prolonged fiscal benefits, mainly tax incentives, have been given to the Dutch people to stimulate demand with the aim of shifting residents out of the tightly held social rental market (Global Property Guide, 2014). This essay will review the result of fiscal policy and intervention in the housing market and the effects of providing ongoing fiscal benefits to first homebuyers. These effects will be discussed to the backdrop of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), what was occurring in the lead up to the GFC (circa 2008), and the role the GFC played in exposing the problems that had occurred due to the government intervention. Finally we review the measures taken by the government to roll back the incentives provided to create a more sustainable and stable property market going forward. The Dutch Housing Market Prior to the Global Financial Crisis Homeownership traditionally, has not been common in Holland. From a period until up until the 1950’s owner occupants accounted for just 29% of the housing stock. The balance was made up of a large social rental housing sector (Global Property Guide, 2014). These rented houses were heavily subsidised with government policy also...

...Ecological Footprint Since the industrial revolution, human’s demand for natural resources is greater than ever. Consumption and waste are extremely high in some countries and this is negatively impacting on our natural environment. If human’s develop the world by destroying the environment, that will not be lasting and sustainable development. We need to find the way to deal with the human development and also preserve the natural resources. The definition of the ‘ecological footprint’ is a way of measuring our impact on the natural environment as a result of our resource use(WWF, n.d). The purpose of this essay is to find out the ecological footprint in different countries and how resources being used and give to my personal suggestions. This essay, will compare the ecological footprint between two countries, Japan which is developed country and China --- developing country. China consumes 15% of the global biocapacity, and is in the second place in the world but also has the largest population. In 2003, China’s ecological footprint was 1.6(China Ecological Footprint Report, 2012), under the global per capita average of ecological footprint. Carbon footprint occupies half of the whole ecological footprint. From the same year’s figure of The Ecological Footprint Countries (China Ecological Footprint Report, 2012), Japan 4.4 per capita is in the first of Asian countries. Japanese mountain accounted for 73% of total land area, in addition to agricultural land, one percent...

...The airline industry itself is a major economic force, both in terms of its own operations and its impacts on related industries such as aircraft manufacturing and tourism, to name but two. This sector had its share of heightened challenges during the global financial crisis of 2000-2005 and 2008-09. The airline industry lost billions of dollars and some airlines struggled to remain in business. Today, the global airline industry consists of over 2000 airlines operating more than 23,000 aircraft, providing service to over 3700 airports. In 2006, the world’s airlines flew almost 28 million scheduled flight departures and carried over 2 billion passengers [1]. The growth of world air travel has averaged approximately 5% per year over the past 30 years, with substantial yearly variations due both to changing economic conditions and differences in economic growth in different regions of the world. Historically, the annual growth in air travel has been about twice the annual growth in GDP. Even with relatively conservative expectations of economic growth over the next 10-15 years, a continued 4-5% annual growth in global air travel will lead to a doubling of total air travel during this period. The economic importance of the airline industry and, in turn, its repercussions for aircraft manufacturers, makes the volatility of airline profits and their dependence on good economic conditions a serious concern for both industries. This concern has grown dramatically since airline deregulation...

...with well-designed, consistent, and thoroughly implemented policies. Specific policy measures varied but were generally aimed at easing supply-and-demand constraints faced by private entrepreneurs. Some of these interventions were direct, and others, indirect. On the supply side, for example, the capitalist states helped facilitate the availability of capital, labor, technology, and even entrepreneurship. Thus supply of capital was boosted at times by superior tax collection and public investment, at other times by using publicly controlled banks to direct credit to preferred private firms and sectors, and at yet other times by allowing inflation to shift resources from both agriculture and urban labor to private industrialists. In this essay there will be two ideal-typical historical patterns of how state authority is organized and used in the developing world: neo-patrimonial states and developmental state. Firstly the term neo-patrimonial has been used for the state that perform on the basis of patron-client relations and personal rules. Neo-patrimonial states often emerged in societies with weak private sectors, but instead of strengthening the private sector, these states appropriated scarce economic resources and diverted them everywhere but toward productive investment. Inconsistent economic policies, failure...

...collaboration, as he had started to move away from Feud’s theories and disagreed with some vital areas, including the nature of libidinal energy, which Freud saw as mostly sexual and Jung saw as mostly spiritual and infantile sexuality as a cause of neurosis. There was also disagreement as to the importance of the libidinal energy, as Freud saw it as pivotal and the primary motivating force, while Jung saw it as one of several forces with equal importance. This led to Jung discarding Freud’s importance of the development of the child, as Jung was concerned with the development of the person across the life-span. From this point on he worked at developing his theory based on personality types. Here in is the beginning of Carl Jung’s theory of Personality Types, which I will now attempt to explain in my own words, but before I do I would like to use one of the infamous quotes from Carl Yung himself… "We need more understanding of human nature, because the only real danger that exists is man himself . . . We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil." —BBC interview, 1959 (http://www.alternativereel.com/soc/display_article.php?id=0000000022) Contrary to previous observations based on temperamental or emotional behaviour patterns, Jung was amongst the first to look at the psychic energy and ‘the way in which one habitually or preferentially orients oneself in the world.’ (Personality Types, page 12, para 2) Jung...

...AF4320 Corporate Finance Semester 1, 2013-2014 Individual Written Assignment This essay will trace the dividend payouts of three public companies in the last consecutive fifteen years and find the key factors which affect a company’s payout policy. The three public companies, namely Hutchison Whampoa Limited (HWL), CLP Holdings Limited (CLP), and The Bank of East Asia (BEA), are all the constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Index. HWL Dividend Payout History over Last Fifteen Years Figure 1.1 A glance at the figure provided reveals changes in HWL’s dividend payout in the last consecutive fifteen years. During this period, HWL’s dividends per share (DPS) climbed steadily from $1.16 to $2.08, with only four changes, while the company’s earnings per share (EPS), an indicator valuating a company’s financial performance in terms of how much earnings made for equity holders, fluctuated greatly, ranging from a low of $1.72 to a peak of $27.65. It should be noted with great attention that HWL’s DPS had remained unchanged at $1.73 for ten consecutive years before it rose again to $1.92 in 2010. Dividend Policy As one of the biggest corporations in Hong Kong, HWL has long been dedicated to providing stably increasing returns to its investors (HWL, Annual Report 2012). The actual dividend payouts follow quite consistent with the company’s statement: four moderate rises without any decrease, as demonstrated by the above figure. Figure 1.2 The dramatic difference between the...

...Western Alienation Western alienation is defined as a “political ideology” or regional discontent, this is rooted with the dissatisfaction of western provinces in the federal government by representation. This essay will examine the causes of western alienation in Canada by examining 3 main causes: Inter-state federalism, the senate and the importance of Quebec emerging in late 1900's. Governments in Canada have developed relations between themselves, involving government and legislation. Inter government relations resemble international diplomacy( meetings with prime minister, provincial premiers, staff and flags). Conducted by government and politicians who have to be sure of the fact that what they do in inter government relations is public and people are watching them. Proponents of the western alienation may suggest that complaints in western Canada most often have to do with matters falling within the jurisdiction of the federal government, such as trade policy, tariffs, equalization procedures, and various aspects of fiscal arrangements pertaining to federal social program investment and expenditure. The West wants fair rules and regulations regarding these matters of federal concern. Thus, this desire should not be correlated with the demand for more provincial powers or jurisdiction. The most popular form of representation in the house of commons is the senate, in Canada the senate is appointed by the Prime Minister. Although the senate in Canada does not represent...
