1.Read the article Asset Price Booms and Current Account Deficits. Explain the basic premise of the article and describe the impact of the real estate and financial asset prices on the U.S. current account deficit. The U.S. stock market experienced pronounced growth preceding the crisis which hit its peak in 2008. This growth coincided with reduced rates of savings (even a negative savings rate at times) as assets were valued highly and used as collateral for additional debt taken on by consumers

more than 50pc of merchandise exports. Current account balances should be examined for explaining currency movement. A surplus current account implies Pakistan has become a net exporter of capital to the rest of the world. It can either use this surplus to invest in foreign portfolios or allow its companies to invest directly in other countries. For a poor country the best bet is to add this surplus to the country’s foreign exchange reserves. The current account is, however, only one part of

bulbs and resistors the relationship between the voltage across a light bulb and the current through the light bulb was compared to a resistor. A power source was used as a source of potential difference. The change in resistance was observed as well as change in the applied voltage. The voltage versus the current was analyzed using ohms law it was predicted that if voltage across a resistor increases the current through the resistor will increase as well. Introduction While debating about the

(SW1) near the positive terminal (what we would consider the end of the electron flow path) does not matter. A switch anywhere in the circuit will have the same effect of stopping current flow. ◦ Switches are shown in the open (off) position so they are easier to spot in the diagram. In a closed (on) position, the current would be able to flow through the whole circuit. Illustration 1: A simple schematic diagram of a battery connected to a switch and resistor. Most circuits used in modern devices will

outlet or circuit. A safety procedure that could potentially be life-saving is the usage of a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). It protects people from electrical shocks by monitoring the amount of current flowing in a circuit (from hot to neutral), and thereby locating a loss of current. If it senses an imbalance, the circuit trips fast enough to prevent an electrical accident because it cuts off the electricity right away. Since ground-fault is the most common electrical shock hazard, it
