...EC3010 - Economic Policy Assignment 1 The nature of the ongoing financial crisis merely confirms what Economists have known for some time, namely, that the interconnectedness of global economic activity renders macro-management by single governments redundant. Their function is now to regulate markets to ensure economically efficient solutions. Module Leader :Paul McKeown Student Name: Chen JiaHui Student number: G20555142 1.0 Introduction This report argues that the ongoing financial crisis merely confirms the global political consideration what economists have known for some time. Firstly, it briefly explains how the financial crisis spread around the world in such a short time by globalisation. This report points out that the global financial system is inherently flawed, showing how economies go from stability to instability. Subsequently, it focuses on the link between economic globalisation and macro-management by single government, considering whether Macro-management of a country’s economy is redundant, given the global interconnectedness economy’s activity and business. This report shows government policy has reduced the effectiveness of interconnected economies, such as fiscal policy and monetary policy. After that, it emphasizes that it is imperative for governments to regulate financial markets so as to ensure economically efficient solutions. Consequently, this report concludes that although macro-management by single government is less effective...

During this report, there will be a focus on economic and political aspects as they are most relatable in the tourism industry. Destination NSW is a state agency set up by the Australian Government to promote tourism in Sydney and regional NSW. With a plan to double visitor expenditure by 2020 and build the biggest events calendar in Australia – Destination NSW is at the forefront of the tourism sector in Australia. It has a large government funding backing and a vision to be successful. Destination NSW supports the Australian economy at large purely by the huge amount of revenue it generates from NSW every year. ‘Visitor Economy’ is the term used to describe the businesses and communities that benefit from the economic activity generated by visitors. In June 2014, 29.7 million visitors were welcomed into New South Wales, which is more than any other Australian state or territory. The visitor economy contributes $28.1 billion to the State’s economy and supports 158,000 direct jobs (Destination NSW Annual Report, 2013/2014). One macro environmental economic factor that will have a negative influence on Destination NSW is that tourism is not essential or a necessary. In fact it is for leisure and businesses that sell leisure or luxury products such as holidays, or special events like music festivals tend to suffer during low economic times more than companies that sell something...

...TAKE HOME ASSIGNMENT Ukraine Module: Please add Faculty Name Faculty: Please add Faculty Name Due Date: January 5, 2015 Macro Economics: Ukraine 1. Executive summary Geo-political tensions have pushed Ukraine into a deep crisis. Real GDP is in sharp decline, expected to contract by 8% in 2014 with a continued retrenchment in 2015. The conflict in the East has disrupted economic activity, which in its turn made the collection of taxes difficult. The exports have declined and the overall consumer and investor confidence fell significantly. At the same time weak national revenue performance, rising expenditure to tackle the crisis along with a growing Naftogaz deficit make fiscal adjustment more challenging. Ukraine government has allowed a free floating exchange rate resulting in a 50% devaluation of the currency (figure 4). Import gas prices are high and energy efficiency of the national industries is poor. The balance of payments pressure remains high due to large external debt refinancing needs, low FDI and limited access to external financing. This means that challenges are ahead of Ukraine with deteriorating relations with Russia, a weak banking sector, low FX reserves, large debt repayments needs (for the next 2 years) together with constrained domestic consumption altogether pose risks and affect prospects for recovery. Positive factors for Ukraine are as follows: (i) the strong external support for Ukraine ($27bn in the next 2 years), (ii) authorities...
