Economic Effects of the Iraq War
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing the economic effects of the Iraqi war. War nearly always provides an economic boost, even if only temporarily. The war in Iraq lifted the American economy to an extent, but the benefits of the gains will not be lasting ones as the federal government seeks funds sufficient for rebuilding the country. The cost of reconstruction equates in the US to less opportunity for economic growth, for billions of dollars are being dedicated to Iraq to assist in its rebuilding from the most recent war. Though the beginning of the war increased American economic fortunes, that general effect is being negated by the staggering costs of reconstruction and conversion to a coalition government in Iraq. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Economic Forecasting and the End of 2000:
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses the larger concerns of how year-end economic reports
relate to quantifiable economic goals and objectives and how the

the nation’s economic growth rate. Over the last decade or so,
most economic analysts and forecasters have come to believe that
the number of events that have occurred, viewed collectively,

Economic Growth and the Solow Growth Model
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing economic growth and the Solow growth model. Robert Solow’s growth model emphasizes all of the aspects of the importance of economic growth within a society. It includes components of the supply and resources of a nation which can expand opportunity for a country’s production. The supply component however is determined by its labor force growth rate and increases in the productivity of the workers. This increase leads to increases in the capital/labor ratio which in turn results in improvements in technology. Above all, savings are critical in that they must be high enough to replace the depreciated capital and also provide for the workers. Lower savings means lower worker productivity and lower living standards. The Solow growth model basically defines the conditions of different nations’ approach to an equilibrium level of capital stock (a steady-state). While developed nations such as the United States have reached this level of steady-state, other developing nations are still experiencing rising levels of high savings and rising capital/labor ratios.
Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Economic Growth and the Solow Growth Model: Includes Country Comparisons, Formulas, Stylized Facts and “The Golden Rule”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 9 page paper discussing Solow’s Economic Growth Model including country comparisons, formulas, stylized facts and “the golden rule”. Robert Solow’s economic growth model (1956) takes into account various important economic determinants of growth which include capital, labor, human capital, life expectancy, technology, trade and geography among other components which help to answer certain discrepancies which appear throughout the world economies today such as why some countries are rich and others poor; why some countries grow faster than others; how some countries manage to sustain economic growth; and why growth miracles and disasters can occur. Stylized facts included with Solow’s assumptions and model are those which have found that there are large variations in per capita income across economies; rates of economic growth vary a great deal across economies; growth rates are not constant over time; countries can move between being rich and poor; growth in output and trade are related among others. Solow’s growth model emphasizes all of the aspects of the importance of economic growth within a society. It also includes components of the supply and resources of a nation which can expand opportunity for a country’s production. Above all, savings are critical in that they must be high enough to replace the depreciated capital and also provide for the workers. Lower savings means lower worker productivity and lower living standards. The Solow growth model basically defines the conditions of different nations’ approach to an equilibrium level of capital stock (a steady-state). While developed nations such as the United States have reached this level of steady-state, other developing nations are still experiencing rising levels of high savings and rising capital/labor ratios.

[ send me this paper ]

Economic Policies: George W. Bush And Al Gore
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Considered perhaps the most important concerns in any presidential candidate's political platform is that which addresses economic policy; indeed, this is certainly the case with regard to the current stance between George W. Bush and Al Gore's candidacies. It can readily be argued that while studying each man's stance on economic policy, there exists a combination of similarities as well as great disparities -- an expected occurrence when issues such as these remain in the campaign's political forefront. The writer discusses that with Bush successfully appeasing his loyal followers and Gore effectively accommodating his, as well, the two presidential candidates believe that their own individual perceptions of economic policy are both exact and correct for continuing forward with the country's prosperous future. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Economic Policies: George W. Bush And Bill Clinton
[ send me this paper ]

Economic Policy of Three Presidents, 1989-2003
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the economic policies of Presidents George H. Bush (1989-93), William J. Clinton (1993-2001), and George W. Bush (2001-present). Five tables list Dow Jones and S&P 500 averages; interest rates, unemployment rates and personal income for each year. Thankfully, the three presidents of 1989-2003 could see the value of maintaining a largely hands-off policy regarding the economy. George Bush Senior preserved Reagan’s changes so that they could have full effect; Clinton instituted NAFTA and Welfare-to-Work, easing existing pressures. To date, it appears that George W. Bush has no domestic economic policy, but the lessons of the past indicate that too little action is much to be preferred over too much, too late. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Economic Policy Recommendations in the United States
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing the economy in the US in 3Q2005 and making recommendations for the future.

Tax revenues could be lower in the future but tax rates should remain at current levels to continue to encourage business growth and to maintain consumer spending in the face of likely fuel-related price increases of consumer goods.

Economic Principles Applied to Pharmaceutical Companies
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page paper applies a number of economic principles to pharmaceutical companies in the way in which they produce and then sell drugs. Pharmaceutical companies can produce drugs for only pennies a pill. These companies are protected by patent laws for new drugs they develop and with a patent protecting their product; they have an effective monopoly on the drug. If this drug is sold at marginal cost, no new drugs would ever be developed as the company must take into consideration the research, development and the drug approval costs which must be recovered. The company must find a balance in maximizing profits (as a monopoly) and having their marginal revenue cover their high initial costs (in order for consumers to afford their product). This paper discusses order these principles and includes 2 supply and demand graphs to illustrate the points raised in the paper. The bibliography cites 5 sources.
