In a popular paper published in 1992 by the Quarterly Journal of
Economics (QJE), Gregory Mankiw, David Romer and David Weil
(MRW) conclude that:
“international differences in income per capita are best understood
using an [economic] growth model [where] output is produced from
physical capital, human capital, and labor, and is used for investment
in physical capital, investment in human capital, and consumption.”
(Mankiw et al. 1992 , p. 432)
Using the Eviews/GRETL dataset attached, carefully explain the
empirical evidence MRW provide in support in of their thesis. In
the light of this econometric analysis, do you share the authors’
conclusion above ?

The Critical Assignment of BUS 180, Principles of Economics course is part of a series of assignments designed to enhance students’ knowledge and skills in integration and implementation of a business plan during their four years undergraduate business program.
The specific objective of the Critical Assignment of BUS 180 is to enhance students’ knowledge and skills in evaluating and assessing the market structure for a start up business that they will develop. This exercise will provide the students with the opportunity of integration and implementation of theory to practice and will prepare them in development of a comprehensive business plan during their senior year in the capstone course.

In BUS 180, each student will experience creating a start- up business to produce a specific product (a good or service). A three to five (3-5) page written research paper on the start- up business, the product and the market structure of the industry is required. The paper needs to present sections on the product information, this may be a good (tangible product) or a service (intangible product); and the initial and potential scope of the market in which the product will be supplied.

In addition, the written paper should have sections on the degree of the existing competition and the characteristics of the rival producers/organizations; the characteristics of the buyers and the potential demand for the product; and the strategy of the start- up business for pricing with regards to elasticity, production and maintaining it’s competitive advantage. Finally, a critical analysis of the findings and conclusion and the implications for the start-up business need to be addressed in the paper.

The specific components of the proposed start up business should include:
• Product description
• Scope of the market
• Market Structure
• Degree of competition, availability of substitute and barriers to entry
• Potential demand
• Elasticity
• Industry Trends

The written plan should specifically address the following:
a. Product and the initial and future scope of the market (local, national, international/global) intends to serve.
b. Market structure, degree of competition and the availability of substitutes initially and in the future, locally and globally for the proposed product.
c. Various barriers to entry to the market in which the proposed business will compete.
d. Demand and buyers of the proposed product.
e. Price, income and cross elasticity of demand for the proposed product and their influence on the various pricing and production strategies of the proposed business.
f. Current and future industry trends of the proposed business.

The written paper is to be typed double–spaced, 1’ margins, Times New Roman and 12-point font, with correct spelling and grammar, proper citation, references, with a cover page and organized with headings. The instructor’s approval of the topic is required.

Book Review
All students are required to write a brief critical review of John McWhorter’s new book The Language Hoax: Why the World Looks the Same in Any Language.

REVIEW PARAMETERS:

Recommended length: 5–6 pages

Format: typed, double-spaced, title and section headings, 1-inch margins, 12-point text, 10-point footnotes. Make sure pages are numbered and don’t forget to include your name!

Style: Since this is not a writing course, you are free to choose your own preferred style for expository writing, but be consistent. (A standard manual for the social sciences is The Chicago Manual of Style and for the humanities is MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers.) Regardless, the review should be carefully structured and citations should be properly acknowledged. English should be literate. The more you proofread and edit, the better it will be get. Be precise, concise, clear, and persuasive!

Here is some info on writing a review:
http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/book_reviews.shtml
However, I expect something far more substantive than the exemplar provided.
Here are some of my own thoughts about possible content:
Present what you see as the most important conclusions of the book. Begin by stating the questions being addressed. Explain the author’s arguments and any new contributions being made. Lastly, discuss what conceptual or empirical problems the author might face.
A good review will consist of two parts. The first part of the review should summarize the main points of the work under review, and the second part should evaluate the work.
Reviews should answer the following kinds of questions:
What is the book about? What are the basic issues addressed?
What is the perspective of the author? What assumptions are being made and what exactly is being argued?
What previous interpretations and analyses of the phenomenon at hand are presented?
What evidence does the book provide to support or change some aspects of previous discussions?
What is the primary contribution of the book?
How well is it argued?
What are the strongest positive aspects of the book? What does they reveal about the nature of the phenomena under investigation?
What are the weakest aspects of the book? What, if anything, could be done to strengthen them?
What further questions does the book lead to? What is left unresolved?

GRADING:
15 points content:
your coverage of the issues in the book
your ability to connect them to other ideas and the course material
the strength of your argumentation

5 points form:
overall organization (how well you structure those ideas into a coherent whole)
clarity of presentation (how easily your critical review reads)
style (how carefully you craft that whole into a polished review)

Boss, I Think we Have a Problem” Central Steel Door Corporation has been in business for about 20 years, successfully selling a line of steel industrial- grade doors. 137 The company had gradually increased its presence from the New York City area, first into New England and then down the Atlantic Coast, then through the Midwest and West, and finally into Canada. The com-pany’s basic expansion strategy was always the same: Choose an area, open a distribution center, hire a regional sales manager, and then let that regional sales manager help staff the distribution center and hire local sales reps. Unfortunately, the company’s traditional success in finding sales help did not extend to its overseas operations, when Mel Fisher, president of Central Steel Door, decided to expand his company into Europe. He tried for 3 weeks to find a sales manager by advertising in the Interna-tional New York Times, which is read by businesspeople in Europe and by American expatriates living and working in Europe. Although the ads placed in the Times also ran for about a month on the Times’s website, Mr. Fisher so far has received only five applications. One came from a possibly viable candidate, whereas four came from candidates who Mr. Fisher refers to as “ lost souls”— people who seem to have spent most of their time traveling aimlessly from country to country, sipping espresso in sidewalk cafés. When asked what he had done for the last 3 years, one told Mr. Fisher he’d been on a “ walkabout.”

Other aspects of his international HR activities have been equally problematic. Fisher alienated two of his U. S. sales managers by sending them to Europe to temporarily run the European operations, but neglect-ing to work out a compensation package that would cover their relatively high living expenses in Germany and Belgium. One ended up staying the better part of the year, and Mr. Fisher was rudely surprised to be informed by the Belgian government that his sales manager owed thousands of dollars in local taxes. The two managers had hired about 10 local people to staff each of the two distribution centers. However, the level of sales was disappointing, so Fisher decided to fire about half the distribution center employees. That’s when he got an emergency phone call from his temporary sales manager in Germany: “ I’ve just been told that all these employees should have had written employment agreements and that in any case we can’t fire anyone without at least 1 year’s notice, and the local authorities here are really up in arms. Boss, I think we have a problem.”
