Economics - July 2007

I've been searching on line and can't make out the name of the person that is pictured on the $10,000 dollar bill.

Can anyone help?

Hi,

I am finishing a Bachelors in Economics, and will probably do masters too in Economics. The problem is that I is that I cannot find any information on on opportunities in Economics.

I don`t want to work in the public sector, so my question is;

1) Will I be able to find a well paying job.
2) Will this education give me a good quality of life.
3) What are the earnings out there?
4) How do earnings compare to other sectors?

I plan to take Mathematical Economics/Econometrics/Macro and Micro Economics as my core subjects throughout, and also some electives.

Can anyone give me an idea, as I have e-mail recruitment agencies, and done research on the internet, and I still can`t find any decent answers!!! Anyone that has hands on experience working in the industry??

In my finance textbook, it says that owning 30 individual stocks is considered diversified. Is there a connection between this assertion and the statistical concept that a random sample size needs to be at least 30 to be distributed normally around the mean? If so, why is 30 this magic number? Is it special like Pie and E?

Many now acknowledge that the US is no longer a dominant world economic power as measured by money flow and profits and that our status now is more the result of weak dollar and "globalization" which is only temporary and not sustainable

I've heard this saying before; what does it mean to base or judge money according to the "gold standard?"

I'd like some in-depth, unbiased information on this issue (especially all you econ majors out there).

Define the term 'cash rate'. What does this measure? Is it measured by tightening and contracting inflation rates or interest rates?

I am curious about how there can be two sides to this argument. How is it that some people believe wealth can be created while others believe it can only be redistributed?

I am not personally sure which answer is right. I am looking for proof, or at least well reasoned responses. I am not looking for politics, trash economics, or opinions.

As far as I can tell, arguments that wealth is infinite seem to be poorly reasoned. They generally depend on vague situations which appear true at first glance, such as "If you have a great idea and get people to pay you for it, you are creating new wealth."

On the other hand, the proponents of the finite wealth side seem to use outdated examples that tie wealth to natural resources and the services that support them. Has something changed in the last hundred years that has changed wealth from being a finite thing to a infinite thing?

Should the U.S., a free economy, specialize in a new procedure that would make the rich have a financial ceiling, once the ceiling is reached, the funds contribute back into society, I.E. Myself, a poor college student who worries about 100 dollars between getting kicked out and living for another month? Shouldn't we have a program that flushes the money back into college students, health care, insurance (Cough-FEMA)?

Only mature responses.

Some people think our economy will be damaged when the U.S. population plateaus (because parents are finding large families too expensive).

But if you look at countries with serious overpopulation problems like Haiti and Rwanda, it's obvious that when the population exceeds the available resources, the economy crashes.

Any economists out there who can clarify the relationship between population size and the health of an economy?

Since this is all time low for the dollar (vs. Euro), should everyone (in Europe) for instance be investing in dollars since it has nowhere to go but up? And so, ideally, shouldn't this be simply a passing phase?

In my town, Hershey made the announcement last February that they will shut down several American plants and move the work to Mexico. They site high sugar and labor costs as reasons for the move. The mexican workers will make around 8.00 an day as opposed to the 18.00 a hour the American workers are making. This month the first 100 employees were laid off and by the end of the year they will let the other 500 go. This seems to be a growing trend, the movement of jobs. Everyone has been focused on illegal immigrants taking jobs away from Americans but I am wondering which is worse?So, which do you think is a bigger threat, illegal immigrants or the exportation of jobs? Why?
