...companies from USA that consider Mexico as one of the best places to invest Latin America, not only for being near USA, but also because the Mexican government has made major changes in order to keep the economy stable in the last years. Also, If we add that Mexico offers other advantages such as; the free trade agreements with USA, low labor cost (compared with USA), and the increase in the number of middle class, we might think that Mexico is one of the best countries to install this company. However, we have to consider that the corruption is still an issue, several companies take a long time to initiate activities due to bureaucracy, and the toll roads are expensive. From the economic point of view, we can consider that Mexico has grown steadily in recent years (around 3-4% per year), with a similar growth projection for the following year. Even though, Mexico has a moderately consolidate political party systems, and a low political consensus (this could not allow a successful prospects for economic reforms from Packenham model), it is projected that Mexico continues its economic growth, led by its president Enrique Peña Nieto. We must also consider that Mexico has a low probability of currency devaluation, because it has an autonomous central bank, flexible interest rate, among other factors, allowing considering Mexico as a business platform. Second, the power bargaining acquires relevant importance in the negotiation between this company and the Mexican government about the...

...Econ 545 Micro Analysis Project 1 Business Economics 545 Fewer Physicians Project 1 INTRODUCTION Based in recent surveys, reports show a trending decline on the rate at which physicians move. Statistically, this may suggest the economy is preventing or affecting physicians from frequent job changes, or retirement. According to survey results, the move rate was reported as follows: 18.2% in 2008, 15% in 2009, 12.4% in 2010, and 11.3% in 2011. In as much as this reflects an obvious trend of lower move rate over the years, and may be attributed to a number of factors, it is however not enough scientific measure to ascertain the market supply and demand for physicians. PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current position of physicians, and to establish an informed/detailed study of the trends. The research will also establish a theoretical framework of these trends, and their relatedness to the law of Demand and Supply with a focus on physicians. This review will among other things, institute recommendations. DEMAND DETERMINANTS The Law of Demand: As an initial approach, the analysis in this research paper will not be far-reaching if the concept of Demand is not critically examined. Demand has been defined in Economics as the goods and services people are willing and able to buy during a certain period of time at various prices, holding all other relevant factors constant. A simple way to explain this would be to use an everyday example of say - a café. If for instance...

...Yell Group Case The purpose of this memorandum is to briefly introduce what the deal is about, how to determine the bid value with appropriate approach, how sensitive our final value is to relative factors and discuss the case questions. Introduction Macroeconomic Analysis Based on the industry life cycle, Yellow Pages UK is most likely in the late maturity / early decline stage while Yellow Book USA is still in the growth phase. Although financing the acquisition of Yellow Pages will be a challenge due to the illiquid and lacking European high-yield markets, the recent reversal of high-yield spread coupled with major issuances indicate that investors’ risk appetites are growing and fuelling the growth of this European asset class. As more and more funds/private equities venture into the Europe market, exiting Yellow Pages will be more than viable. Industry Analysis Bargaining power of buyers is fairly high. In the US, there are no switching costs for buyers and they have the option of switching brands or utilize various means to obtain directories listing. However, in the UK, Yellow Pages have other businesses in addition to its core directory business to capture customers who prefer online/phone. Threat of new entrants is very low in both UK and US. For instance, the position of incumbents in US is so strong that it is a common practice to offer advertisers a free year of advertisement which require an upfront sunk cost of $4million. Likewise in the UK, the barriers...

...Should all cars be required to have backup cameras? Tanard Hill Professor Christian Faught English 215 March 13th, 2016 The government, in April 2014 passed a law that all cars built new after May 2016 must have backup cameras. Have backup cameras reduced accidental deaths? The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHITSA) reports that “58 to 69 lives are expected to be saved each year once the entire on-road vehicle fleet is equipped with rear visibility systems.” USA Today’s website listed an article written by Chris Woodyard (2015) who investigated that many automakers, responding to consumer demand, have gotten ahead of the regulation by putting standard or optional cameras on new models as they are redesigned, even on their smallest, most economical cars. Vehicles should not be required to have a backup camera because it is not always as clear of a picture as you may think, especially during weather and foggy days. (Woodyard, 2015 Administration, 2014). The backup cameras fog up in a little rain or any other precipitation, which causes the backup camera to be insufficient to use. Although having back up cameras has reduced the accidents by a large percentage; once it is completely abolished in 2018; will drivers attempt to only use the backup camera without the notion of looking behind them? In a 2010 report, the DOT's NHTSA said, “that each year 210 people die and 15,000 are injured in light-vehicle backup incidents, with about 31% of the...

...DEMAND OF PHYSICIANS: In terms of quantity, it shows that people in the United States are willing to pay minimum prices to get healthcare. The demand for physicians is dependent on many factors. Some of the factors are but not limited to income of the people, population, behavior of the buyers, expectations about future prices and incomes. According to reports and past projection, there is shortage of physicians in the country. This directly influences the policies and prices of the current healthcare system. Due to this shortage, we have more medical schools in the country. The government has also been subsidizing admission to such schools. At present, there are about 900,000 physicians working in the market for 300 million patients or customers. So clearly, the population of customers is large. The price at providing healthcare has gone up due to scarcity of professionals and limited amount of income people can spend upon healthcare. The behavior of buyers is such that they want to spend as much less as possible on getting healthcare now, because they expect the price of getting healthcare to shoot up. So they want to save money now in order for rainy days, when they would really need it.

...oil-price.net posted an astonishing report on the US government's trade restrictions on its own oil industry. While other governments protect their home industries and give preference to their own national interests, by a convoluted path of logic, successive administrations in the US stymied the producers of crude oil in the USA. You can read that full report here: Oil Export Ban Hurts US Oil Industry. However, moves are now afoot to ease this restriction. By one method or another, the crude oil export ban may be undermined to the point that it is meaningless. This is one more battle in the war between US oil producers, who want the export ban lifted, and US oil refiners, who want to keep the ban. The battleground is the definition of what constitutes "crude" and "refined" oil. Introduction; The export ban on crude oil was put in place following the oil price shock of the 1970s. Arab governments held the Western world hostage by restricting their oil exports and hiking the world oil price. US legislators vowed to insulate their nation from future actions by Middle Eastern governments and put in place a series of measures to ensure a constant supply of oil to US refineries. The crude oil export ban was just one of the measures contained in the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) of 1975. However, the measure skewed the oil trade within the USA greatly in favor of the refining industry who were allowed to import oil from abroad. Domestic oil producers were hampered...

...administration's capacity to make future instalments on its debts, therefore emphatically influencing Indonesia's cost of borrowings, government security yields and global credit assessments when this debt is as low as on account of Indonesia. This improvement is especially because of the judicious monetary arrangement methodology of the Indonesian government and consistence with financial principles that set cut-off points on the upper level of debt. Biggest Contributors to Government Debt in Indonesia Biggest creditors of Indonesia is united states and japan and other 25% is borrowed from the international organisation like world bank, asian development organisation and etc. The forecasts done about indonesia’s GDP again moderate sliding in governments debt due to appreciation in rupiah, reduction in interest rates, and robust economic growth. Debt of Indonesian to GDP Ratio from 2008 to 2015: There is only little impact in Indonesia’s debt ratio in macroeconomics. depreciation of currency in Indonesia is 30% and it would increase the public debt ratio about 25 % of GDP.

...recent and projected population growth rate in detail, including the factors contributing to the growth rates and trends in those rates. Compare with similar information for the United States or Canada. India’s history over the past 70 years has made remarkable progress. Improvements in the health and education systems, making Indians live longer as well as more schooling, which has had tremendous results. However there are still issues to be solved in order to improve living conditions across geographic and gender lines. “The future population size largely depends on whether the birth rate continues to fall, especially in the heavily populated north and in rural areas where contraceptive use is currently lower. United Nations 2015 projections show India at 1.3 billion in 2015 and possibly reaching 1.7 billion people in 2050”. India is currently the second most populous country in the world. With approximately 19 million people added every year, the country provides more to annual world population growth than any other country. In the next 10 years India is set to reach two major milestones. The first will exceed China to become the world’s most populous country and secondly reach replacement fertility as families have fewer children. With a growing population there is always the pros and the cons of the expansion of the land. Some of the issues India will start to find as the population is rapidly expanding are the amount of land and quality of land, water availability, and...

...Overview: The US government currently has over $16.4 trillion in debt and spends 40% more than the revenue it collects per year. This continues to be a highly debated topic within our legislative and executive branches of government. One reason the Federal Government’s major entitlement programs are difficult to control is the way they are designed. A second is that current budgeting process ignores long-term impacts of short-term expansions. A third is that these programs are not subject to regular review, like the other annual discretionary programs are. The means that Congress rarely evaluates the costs and effectiveness of entitlements except when it is proposing to expand them. Costs of healthcare continuing to rise, funding numerous war campaigns, and a broken tax system are all contributing to the widening deficit in the budget. It is quite clear that sacrifices must be made. The question remains: where do we begin? Background: Alexander Hamilton, the first Treasury Secretary, set up federal debt to pay off debt incurred by the Revolutionary War. Until the Great Depression in 1933, federal debt was used only to fund wars. In 1933, President Roosevelt began spending and raised the federal debt to around 40% of the GDP. From that point on, the federal debt has ranged from 122% of the GPD following WWII, to 50% of the GDP during the Cold War to the current value of 99.4% as presidential policies and goals changed (see Figure 1). During the end of the Clinton administration...
