Consider two countries, A and B, and suppose that both have identical physical endowments of, say, iron ore. But suppose that in country A, any profits that are made from mining the ore are subject to confiscation by the government, while on country B, there is no such risk. How does the risk of expropriation affect the economic endowment of the two nations? In which nation are people richer?

We think of ourselves as a 'green' country but we're really not.

There are some great things about being Canadian to be sure but being enviornmentally aware and doing our share to protect the planet is not one of them.

I've just gone for a walk around my local mall and they've already strung up all the Christmas decorations and holiday items... in the middle of September! =O

Coincidentally, and almost ironically, I saw it featured in the 6 o'clock news later that night: "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... in September." It seems that MOST retail outlets and malls are taking advantage of this "Holiday Spending" bonanza... =(

They said it was to augment and help increase the profit for the annual Christmas / Holiday sales.

Personally, I'd be pissed when they do these things so early that it seems ludicrous and out of place... also, if they ever skip Halloween, I would go nuts (Halloween is one of my favourite holidays = candy)!

What's your opinion on this? Would you do all your holiday shopping now? Does it really save you the money (like they said on the news)?

For all we know... next thing we might see is Christmas in July! =D

Coffee
Electronic car
Candy
Pizza
T-shirt

Ask yourself how much more of your items you would be willing to buy if the price decreased by 1%. If the answer is more than 1%, your demand is elastic; if the answer is less than 1%, your demand is inelastic.

If anyone knows how to explain their answers please do. Thanks.

What are signs we can look at to see if the value of the dollar will rise or fall?

I'm no economist, so I'd appreciate a little help in understanding what indicators there are to look at to see why/how the value of dollar has changed, relative to other currencies.

After all, the more the dollar slides, the more it hurts us consumers and us tourists.

thanks!!!!
