“Are Microfinance Institutions effective in lifting poor households and small businesses out of poverty? Is the social impact of microfinance institutions limited because of the high interest rates and high default rates? What could households or small businesses do to use the loans prudently? How can microfinance organizations reduce the default rates?”
Discuss with reference to any two organizations. Reflect on the challenges and limitations of microfinance in the light of the above prop.

I need someone to take a multiple choice micro-econ practice final examm on the following subjects:

production theory and business costs

market model pure competition

market model pure monopoly

market models monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and strategic behavior

resource market

The testt is timed so we need to make a time to meet and take it at the same time. I will send multiple choice questions and you send answers. The testt includes calculations and other theoretical concepts so this person needs to be very good at micro econ. I can send notes to help, but this person shouldn’t need them and should be able to teach the concept. I need someone to send the answers so i can be prepared with good notes for the real one.

I’m working on a economics multi-part question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

The economy is currently at equilibrium point D on the AD curve marked C. Potential GDP, Y* is at point E. The government engages in an expansionary fiscal policy which moves the economy from AD curve C to AD curve B

1. What was the size of the autonomous increase in government purchases of goods and services?
2. Explain the adjustment process from point D to level E. Consider, changes in the level of inventory, employment, income to the household sector and consumption. NOTE: The multiplier is 10. You can use arrows(↑,↓, →) Et. Cetera. For up, down, causes)

I’m working on a micro economics discussion question and need guidance to help me learn.

Locate a firm in the U.S. or in the country where you reside and distinguish the difference between factor markets and product markets.

Examine how households influence factor markets.

Locate a recent article or event (published within the last year) that highlights your relevant microeconomics topic. Use the Hunt Library, newspapers, new stations, or other credible sources to discover how your topic aligns with microeconomics.

THE FOLLOWING WILL BE COMPLETED

Consider the following for our discussion:

• State the article or event you selected.
• Identify the microeconomic concept(s).
• Describe your findings.
• Analyze the relevance to real-life applications.

In responding to your peers state:

• Whether you agree or disagree with the findings and why
• A probing question that facilitates further discussion of the topic

Capital budget analysts in the State Department of Corrections would help develop and make recommendations for the capital budget plan.

Imagine you are a capital budget analyst for the State Department of Corrections. You are helping develop the capital budget plan for the agency and are tasked with analyzing two options to deal with a growing prison population.

Option 1

Construct 1,000 new prison beds in an additional wing at the state facility.

Option 2

Contract with a private prison company to rent 1,000 prison beds.

Review the Capital Budget Cost Data resource, which describes both options.

Write a 525- to 700-word recommendation on which option you recommend, including in the capital budget, and provide a detailed explanation of why you recommend this option.

Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each option, including political considerations.

Identify short- and long-term cost considerations for both options.

Here is a little secret… MGRM is back (and has been back for a while…they had reopened the oil hedging program…but with a twist.

They are selling 10 year forward contracts, with quarterly oil delivery…..but hedged the exposure with ATM quarterly options.

Take the following example.

• MGRM sells a 10 year forward at the start of 2012. They delivery the required barrelseach quarter…so on the expiry dates of March, June, Sept, and December.
• Global Shipping Enterprise (GSE) came to them at the start of 2012, wanting to hedge120,000,000 barrels of oil over the 10-year window.

• Explain the performance difference of using options to hedge versus futures contracts over this time period….(qualitative question)

I need. Question 6, and question 4 found below done. I also need. question 8 done. it can be found in the attacheed doc

QUESTION 4.

Many school districts pay for new school buildings with bond issues that must be approved by majority vote in an election. Supporters of these bond issues typically argue that new buildings improve schools and thereby boost housing values. A recent economics paper used RD to test whether passage of school bonds caused housing values to rise.

1. (a) (5 pts) What is the assignment variable (a.k.a. the running variable)? Hint: time is not the assignment variable.
2. (b) (10 pts) Explain how to use a basic sharp RD approach to estimate the e ect of school bond passage on housing values.
3. (c) (5 pts) Provide an equation that implements the approach you described in (b). Assume you observe sale prices of individual homes. Be sure you properly subscript your variables.

QUESTION 6

For each of the following examples, explain: i) a simple di erence-in-di erences strategy; and ii) a generalized DD strategy with controls for time-invariant (cross-sectional) di erences and time-varying forces that a ect both treated and control units. In order to design strategy ii), it may be helpful to look at the Angrist & Pischke analysis of the minimum legal drinking age in the DD chapter. For both i) and ii), write out the estimating equation that corresponds to your strategy.

(a) (10 pts) California implemented a rst-in-the-nation program of paid family leave in 2004. Did this policy increase use of maternity leave? (Unpaid leave was available before the policy change.)

(b) (10 pts) Fourteen countries engaged in expansionary austerity policies in response to the 2008 nancial crisis. Did these austerity policies work? For simplicity, treat austerity as a dummy variable equal to 1 for countries that engaged in it, 0 otherwise.

(c) (10 pts) Some neighborhoods in Los Angeles changed zoning laws to make it easier to mix com- mercial and residential buildings. Did these changes reduce crime? 8. (10 pts)

I’m working on a economics multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Monetary Policy in the United States is conducted by the central bank known as the Federal Reserve (also known as the Fed), and it employs three basic tools that impact both the producers and consumers in the economy: Reserve Requirements Tool, the Discounting Tool, and the Open Market Operations Tool.

1. Describe the basic procedure of the Open Market Operations tool when it is used to engage in U.S. expansionary monetary policy.
2. Then, describe the basic procedure of the Open Market Operations tool when it is used to engage in contractionary monetary policy.
3. As a business manager monitoring the actions of the Federal Reserve, you observe that the Fed has been implementing contractionary monetary policy in the use of all of its basic tools, and this policy is likely to continue for the next year or so.  Based on this information alone, explain if this would be either a good or a bad time for your firm to engage in additional borrowing to help expand your business operations.
4. International monetary policy: Choose a non-U.S. country and research how that country has recently engaged in expansionary monetary policy. What country did you research? What mechanisms did the nation use? In what year? What was the goal of this policy? What was the impact of this policy?
5. International monetary policy: Choose a non-U.S. country and research how that country has recently engaged in contractionary monetary policy. What country did you research? What mechanisms did the nation use? In what year? What was the goal of this policy? What was the impact of this policy?
