Economics - November 2006

exploitation of the devloping and the under-developed countries is widely seen all around the world. businesses and industries are taking over, and even though there is an overall decrease in poverty all around the world, there is still a lot that needs to be fixed!
what do you think? how can it be fixed? i mean, the world can merge into one government but think about it, that's not the best idea!
please give me your views

I think the Republicans sucked, but the Democrats will be worse. I really don't think we need a minimum wage raising, union backing, Universal Health Care backing, anti business party right now. The world is changing, and while we may have the best economic climate in the developed world, it is more expensive to conduct business here than in developed areas of developing nations. Will the trickle of outsourcing become a torrent? How will the US's economy look if the Democrats get their way?

I'm looking at a multiple regression model using natural logarithms for the x's. I understand what the betas mean (they are the elasticities), except for beta-1 (b1-the intercept). Here's the equation:
yi=b1+b2*ln(xi2)+b3*ln(xi3)+...+b7*ln(xi7)+ei
I just need to know what b1 means.

Why not raise it to 10 dollars an hour?
$15 an hour. Who cares?

The bottom wage earners will still be the bottom wage earners right?

People at the top of the pay scale will make more money to adjust with inflation.
Prices will rise and inflation will increase.
The demand for illegal laborers will increase.
People will still buy a new car and a new TV before they buy health insurance.

It seems that Democrats think a minimum wage increase will take money from the rich and give it to the poor. Like a Robin Hood effect.

Is this really true?

I read somewhere about 40 years ago that after World War II, Japan was in trouble regarding her econony, thus, the Japanese needed to save everything and there's an idea of doing so that they could save wood used in the match manufacturing process.
I'm sorry I can't recall if it's an article or a book, moreover, it didn't mention the person concerned. Therefore, your info on the person or the source is appreciated.

The European Union is the first comercial power and largest market in the World! it makes exterior purchases of 851 millions of dollars. Its gross internal product is equivalent to that of the U.S.
The European Union is our second commercial associate and the second source of direct foreign investment.
Mexico received 67.4 millions of dollars of direct foreign investment between 1999 and September of 1999.
Up to September of 1999 the almost 4 thousand companies having European capital represented the 23% out of the 17,521 direct foreign investment partnerships.

The commerce between Mexico and the European Union is less dynamic and the participation of the latter in the total commerce of our country has decreased because of the preferential treatment that both Mexico and the U.S. give to third countries.
