Choose one question and give me a paragraph answer. 

A?Why do private (companies and corporations) and public institutions (cities, states and governments) use debt to raise capital for their operations? Why are tax revenues not enough to for the public sector? Why are revenues not enough for the private sector? Do you think there is an advantage to use debt for both private and public entities?

B?If the US government does not vote to increase the debt ceiling the Federal Reserve can overstep and create entities that will buy Treasuries from the government and give the government cash. The Federal Reserve is essentially printing money to give the Federal government through printing money and buying Treasuries, eventually the money has to be repaid to the shell entities and the Federal reserve though. Reflect on the problems/benefits you think this will have for our economy.

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

Now that you have watched the complete set of The Commanding Heights, take a moment and think about what you have learned.  You viewed a now ‘classic’ documentary where you witnessed over one hundred years of thought leadership on the U.S. and the global political economy.  In a thoughtful, final post, address the following:

1. How has your thinking on ‘how it all works’ been influenced on what you have learned from the film?
2. What is reassuring about the global economy?  Be specific.
3. What is most unsettling about the global economy?  Be specific.
4. What is your definition of ‘globalization’?

Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ugpdfBXTsM&t=115s (you’ll see that it is subtitled with ‘globalization’) – Enjoy.

I’m working on a economics question and need a sample draft to help me understand better.

Guyana is a country that uses the Guyana dollar (g). It has foreign reserves of $400 million. The government has issued $600 million worth of debt which is denominated in $US.

Assume Guyana discovers oil and, as a result, there is massive investment by SHELL oil company in extraction facilities. This is before any oil is exported.

If Guyana maintains a pegged exchange rate to the $US ($) at 200 g/$:

a. Explain how and why the $US S&D curves shift such that the peg is maintained

b. Does this result in a BOP surplus or deficit or no change (clearly explain why)?

Guyana is a country that uses the Guyana dollar (g). It has foreign reserves of $400 million. The government has issued $600 million worth of debt which is denominated in $US.

Assume Guyana discovers oil and, as a result, there is massive investment by SHELL oil company into extraction facilities with Guyana. This is before any oil is exported.

a. IF the Guyana dollar were initially floating at 200 g/$, would this investment be more likely to move the exchange rate to 300 g/$ or 100 g/$? Clearly explain how the $US S&D curves shift in the foreign exchange market (when measuring g/$).

b. Does this result in a BOP surplus or deficit or no change (clearly explain why)?

I recently read an article about bread makers who were upset about cheap foreign bread coming into the country. The bread industry was losing jobs and profits to foreign producers. As such, the industry requested a tariff in order to protect US jobs. Explain the political economy of protectionism and why, in general, economists would be for (against) this policy?

Many countries have issued substantial $US-denominated debt as they attempted to keep their economies afloat during the COVID pandemic. The US had also had extremely low interest rates. 

Now that the US economy is heating up, the US will soon begin raising interest rates.

What might be the impact of this (rising US interest rates) on the debt burdens and foreign reserves of countries that have taken on substantial $-denominated debt for:

a) countries that have a floating exchange rate,

and also for 

b) countries that have a currency pegged to the dollar?

The magic box story talked about my new “technology” that produced cheap, high-quality smartphones. And then someone (who was it… Maxim?) looked inside the box and saw a tube connected to South Korea. What was the point of that story?

I recently paid $400 for a case of Mexican Tequila (made in Mexico). Prior to this, the importer of tequila had to buy $400 worth of pesos. The person that purchased these pesos used $100 to buy a share of Zoom stock and used $300 to buy some COVID-19 masks produced by Pavel in Sunnyvale, CA. Just considering these transactions explain (in $) how each of these changed for the US:
