Economics Commentary - Gas Prices

Economics Commentary - Practice Gas Prices: What goes down must go back up www.Fredericknewspost.com November 1, 2009 - Date of Extract Word Count - November 4, 2009 - Date Commentary Written Sections - Sheheryar Javaid - IB1-2 This article is describes the effects on oil prices mainly caused by the increase in the price of crude oil and the weakening of the US dollar. Due to these factors, price inflation is caused which forces the prices of gas to increase. Inflation is a general and sustained increase in the price of goods and services over a period of time. The major cause of inflation is the extra printing of money. Increasing prices are a reaction to this. With more money, it is reasonable to assume that the value of goods and services become less so therefore prices go up. The price of crude oil increased from the mid $60's to up to $82 per barrel. This was a very sudden change in price. The level of inflation never reached this high as it had maintained a $10 range starting at $65 for more than 11 weeks. Economic recovery is being shown and demand and supply for gasoline is predicted to increase in the future but none of this will stop the rise in price of oil. Demand is the willingness and ability of a consumer to buy a good or a service over a period of time at any given prices. On the other hand, supply is the willingness and ability of

Economics Commentary 1

Commentary Number 1 Emil Ursin Turkmenistan has agreed to start the building of the Nabucco pipeline in 2014, supplying European countries with even more gas. This happens almost simultaneously as the Russians have finished their plans for their new pipeline into Europe, the South Stream, which is seen as a major rival to Nabucco. Turkmenistan is planning to pump another 31bn cubic metres of gas into Europe every year, taking up the competition with the Russians who Europe are dependent on for gas. If European countries could rely less on gas from Russia, Russia would still be a big part of the market but their ability to control the price and flow of gas would decrease. In previous years Russia has unexpectedly turned of the gas flow into Europe. These gas flow shortages have been caused by international disputes between Russia and other countries in Eastern Europe. Countries in the eastern region will have a more reliable and dependent source in the Nabucco pipeline, so they can depend less on the Russians. Hence forth bringing another company/competitor onto the market making the price elasticity of supply more elastic. The Price elasticity of supply would go from inelastic to elastic. Price elasticity of supply (PES) is the responsiveness of quantity supplied to the changes in the price given. When one firm controls the whole production of an item, the item or

Economics Commentary: Ethanol as a substitute fuel.

Economics Commentary #1: Ethanol Word Count: 728 Scarcity has two definitions, and can be defined as when a good has more than one possible usage. This is the case with corn and soybeans. Corn can be used in two main ways; as food, or in the production of ethanol, a corn and soybean-based fuel that is gaining popularity in the United States. Ethanol is now being mixed with regular gasoline, and must constitute of 10% of the mixture in America in an attempt to become more environmentally friendly, as well as to be more self-sufficient. Since the United States is the top producer and exporter of corn, the production of corn-based ethanol protects the American economy from having to import as much high-priced oil from oil-producing nations. Ethanol is being touted one of the better eco-friendly fuel alternatives on the market today. A United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) report indicates supplies of corn and soybean crops will decrease going into 2011, pointing to strong quantity demanded, higher prices and an increase in corn and soybean plantings in the following years. The decrease in supply translates to an increase in quantity demanded and an increase in prices. Consumers plan to buy more gasoline with more usage of their cars as well as purchasing of more cars, thus more gasoline (with ethanol in it) is required. Therefore, the increase in quantity demanded of

Economics commentary. The article talks about the launching of the cheapest car ($2500 U.S only) in the world by Tata Motors, by the name Nano. In this commentary I will analyze its effects on demand[1], supply[2], externalities[3] and price[4].

Name: Vishal Bharam Commentary number: #1 Due Date: February 1, 2008 Source: Unknown author, (January 12, 2008), No lakh of daring, The Economist Section: 2, Microeconomics Word count: 747 The article talks about the launching of the cheapest car ($2500 U.S only) in the world by Tata Motors, by the name "Nano". In this commentary I will analyze its effects on demand1, supply2, externalities3 and price4. According to the law of demand5 ceteris paribus6, the launch of Nano in to the car market in India is expected to create a huge increase in demand because the lower middle class will start buying this car. An increase in demand will lead to a shift of the original demand curve7 (D) to the right (D') (refer figure 1). Nano market E The increase in demand will attract Tata (the producer8) to produce more of this car. Therefore, the supply of Nano will increase, leading to a shift of the original supply curve9(S) down to the right(S'). These shifts in demand and supply curve will lead to a change in equilibrium10 point (E) of the Tata Nano market. The new equilibrium point (E') will have a greater quantity traded between consumers11 and producers. The price of Tata Nano will fairly remain constant or undetermined. The second cheapest car in the world costs twice as much as this car. As a result of this shocking price, it will have both positive as well as

Economics Commentary - U.S. Concerned Over Indian Trade Barriers

U.S. Concerned Over Indian Trade Barriers Tensions are increasing between the U.S. and India over concerns of international trade1 and India's restrictive trade policy. Both India and the U.S. need each other to "meet ambitious export targets" because of fears of global imbalances sparking a standoff. International trade results in countries having comparative advantage over the other. Comparative advantage, a theory developed by David Ricardo, is the ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost that another producer (Mankiw). Comparative advantage is based on the country's resources and is the idea that if countries produce the goods that they specialize in then it would result in an efficient use of the world's resources. There are a number of gains to be made from trade including lower prices, greater choices, differences in resources, and increased competition between producers. By reducing imports, India is limiting its economic efficiency. Trade results in a consumer surplus2 because consumers have the choice of buying the same goods at cheaper prices. (See Graph Below) In the graph above, the world price (PW) is perfectly elastic because as long as consumers are willing to pay the world price3 they can import as much as they want. Trade also results in domestic suppliers losing out. This is why trade barriers and protectionism4 are employed. Trade

Luxury Marques Look to India

COMMENTARY COVERSHEET Economics Commentary Number: HL Number 1 Title of Extract: Luxury Marque's Look to India Source of Extract: The Financial Times Date of Extract: 07/12/2008 Word Count : 740 words Date the Commentary was written: 12/12/2008 Section of the Syllabus to which this commentary relates: Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 Candidate Name: Abhishek Puri Luxury marques look to India By Joe Leahy in Mumbai Sunday Dec 7 2008 18:25 The moves come as Tata Motors faces increasing criticism over its $2.3bn takeover of the two luxury marques, which analysts say do not fit with its stable of lower-cost trucks, commercial vehicles and cars. The acquisition is also looking ill-timed. Tata Motors is struggling to refinance a $3bn bridge loan used for the takeover, leading to successive downgrades by credit ratings agencies. Analysts say the collapse in Tata Motors' domestic market is also a concern. Truck and car sales have fallen by up to 50 per cent in recent months, forcing Tata and its rivals to suspend production at various plants. Mr Kant said Jaguar and Land Rover managements remained autonomous but he felt they should pursue the India opportunity quickly to help make up the deficit in western markets. Jaguar, which has recently released popular new models, has been selling relatively well in spite of the crisis but Land Rover sales have been hit badly. Mr Kant

Wealth Doesnt Require Morals

Ryan Marschang AP Macroeconomics Final Exam Essay Question 1 Wealth Doesn't Require Morals American society is constantly evolving. Over the past three centuries Americans have experienced a wide array of economic, social and political change. Regardless, American society has always attempted to embody the ethos of individualism and the American dream; rags to riches. However, history clearly depicts the potential negative consequences of unregulated individualism - large economic disparity. In the early 1900's, captains of industry such as J.P Morgan and others acquired significant amounts of wealth and gained seemingly insurmountable amounts of power in society. Contrary to this, the majority of the citizens were left with remarkably small amounts of money. After Black Thursday and the New Deal, society cleaned itself up and became more egalitarian. Yet, the past three decades seem to hint that American society is undergoing a gradual socioeconomic transformation into a new 'Gilded Age' composed of inequality and implications for economic efficiency and political harmony. This is at least what Paul Krugman argues in his article "For Rich". In order to analyze the status quo to the fullest extent, historical comparisons must be explored, in particular, the first 'Gilded Age' in the early 1900's. During this time, there was a substantial growth in population and

Privatization in Bolivia

The Privatization of Water Systems in Cochabamba, Bolivia Submitting to increasing pressure from the World Bank in 1999, the Bolivian government privatized the public water system of its third largest city, Cochabamba. In response to the skyrocketing price of water, in February and March 2000, protests became violent to the extent that Bolivia was consequently placed under martial law. Yet, despite their obvious grievances, the Bolivian people continued to see their bills triple or even quadruple, only weeks after Aguas del Tunari of London-based multinational International Water Ltd. and American Bechtel Enterprise Holdings, took over the city's water system. The governor of Cochabamba failed to persuade the central government to cancel the contract with del Tunari, and before long, then President Banzer prohibited gatherings of more than four people and severely limited freedom of the press. According to Jim Shultz, the Bolivia-based director of the Democracy Center, water rates soared by as much as 300 percent, while del Tunari maintained that the increases were no more than 35 percent. Yet, for thousands of families, the hiking rate of water diminished sometimes half of their monthly incomes; for a developing nation such as Bolivia, also the third poorest country in South America, this was a complete calamity. At long last, on April 10 the protesters were heard and

Resumen of Physics

The location of our coursework was on the city of Huaraz, Ancash, Peru. Location Maps Map of South America Map of Peru Map of Ancash City of Huaraz, our place of research Section of Map of Huaraz Background Information The city occupies large part of the valley bottom & lower slopes at 3000m in the Rio Santa Valley. It is a nodal point between two valleys. It has many mines in the area, including 2 large open cast gold Mines operated by a Canadian Company, since the Andes is mineral rich. Agriculture dominates the landscape, and in 1970, an earthquake destroyed much of Huaraz, so the majority of the buildings belong to that time. The Cordillera Blanca is the most accessible high altitude mountain range in Peru, including the Huascaran (6768m, it's the highest point in Peru), which attracted many tourists into climbing + trekking & other associated businesses. Huaraz has many functions: - Administration of the Department of Ancash. - Agriculture. - Mining. - Tourism. Aim While investigating about the Human Geography of Huaraz, I only had one thing in mind, and it was the aim, which was: "To delimit the CBD of Huaraz". We were to mark the limits or boundaries of the CBD of Huaraz. We expected the CBD to have a concentration of commercial buildings, lots of people and vehicles, with little amount of green area, lots of littler and
