Economics - January 2007

When politicians are running for office they often claim
that the they should be elected because of the short term
effect of their policies on the economy. How valid are these
claims? Does the state of the economy have a long memory?
(i.e. depends upon the policies of political predecessors?).
How can we evaluate the claims of politicians to be responsible
for a good economy?

Could someone please explain to me what would happen to the market for CD players if the price of CDs increases?

Obviously the quantity of CD players demanded would decrease, but would the price of CD players rise or fall?

Many thanks

...because graduate starting salaries haven't even kept pace with inflation, never mind the housing boom which makes inflation barely relevant for the young starting out in life.

I haven't done much research in this department, economics gives my liberal head a headache. I've heard that Ahmadinejad is considering selling oil in Euros instead of dollars and this will totally mess up the US economy. If he gets his friend Maliki to do the same are we in big trouble?

How would gov't deficit spending that is directed toward "public capital" such as roads, bridges, dams, harbors, and industrial sites increase the expected rate of return on some potential private investment projects?

In a system of capitalism, why would an employer give a raise to an employee? If I opened a business, why would I want to pay my employees more than the other businesses, and why would I provide healthcare?
