Cases: Applying Economics to the Real World
Prepare a three-page written analysis of each case (six pages total).
Case 1: Government Spending and Taxation
Read Special Topic 1, pages 404 through 418 of Macroeconomics: Private and Public Choice. You may also want to review Chapters 5 and 6 as the role of the government and the political process were covered in detail.
Using the Government Spending and Taxation case, Chapters 5 and 6, the knowledge you have gained in this course, as well as at least three additional credible resources, analyze the case by addressing the following:
• Describe how government spending and the composition of the government changed in recent decades. In other words, in what areas has the government cut spending and in what areas has the government increased spending in recent decades?
• Determine if this change in government spending and composition will help Americans achieve a higher living standard. Be sure to support all opinions with research.
• Assess if democracy can survive if the majority of the U.S. citizens pay little or nothing in taxes while benefiting directly from a higher level of government spending. Why or why not?
• Propose the composition of government, government spending, and taxation that you believe would work best. Be sure to be specific and support your proposal with research.
Case 2: The Economics of Social Security

Develop an annotated bibliography that you can use in your Doctoral Study.

/in /by

In each week of this course, you will research and select three (3) peer-reviewed, scholarly sources to develop an annotated bibliography that you can use in your Doctoral Study. You will need to take the three sources and synthesize the references into a single narrative annotated bibliography that compares/contrasts or supports your study. For example, you may develop three references that will fit into the Nature of the Study (or any other component) and then the synthesized version will help you in developing your Prospectus/Proposal. Please see this week’s Learning Resources for the Sample Annotated Bibliography Template, which you should use to complete your annotated bibliography.

Describe a business organization for which you are proposing design of an information system.

/in /by

You will develop a PowerPoint proposal presentation for your plan for fulfilling a business need that would help the organization achieve its goals. Please note, you will use the same proposed business information system each week in presentations assignments and in your final paper in Week 5. The topic would be of your choice, however, some examples of topics are listed below (these are only examples, you should select a topic that you are personally interested in and have some knowledge of):
An employee expenditure tracking system (tracking of trips, travel expenses, food costs, etc.)
A health club membership system (for tracking members’ charges, visits, rental of equipment, etc.)
An event planning system (conferences, seminars, parties) planning and follow up system (planning, announcing, follow up and reporting)
A college admission system (registering applicants, charging fees, entering applicant data, generating reports and reminder letters)
A expenditure tracking system (allowing student membership, creating discussion topics and threads on courses, topics, etc.)
Your analysis content will be as specified in the chart below. Include citations to support your points throughout the presentation.
The format of your PowerPoint presentation should be:
Slide 1: Title of PowerPoint, Course, Instructor, Date Submitted, Student Name
Slides 2-4: Describe a business organization for which you are proposing design of an information system. Perform a brief research on similar existing systems and provide their background information. Some areas to investigate and report in the research include availability of off-the-shelf software, required technology platforms, cost issues, type of technology used in existing systems, etc.
Slides 5-7: Describe the business requirements of the proposed system. How would you elicit requirements of the system from the business information system stakeholders? Briefly discuss the functional requirements of the system. Describe the alternative system development methodologies (SDLC, prototyping, JAD, RAD, etc.) in the context of the proposed system and what would be the best approach for development.
Slides 8-9: Management would have several other projects to consider when authorizing approval of the proposed system. Since most organizations have limited resources, you would have to make a pitch for the proposed system. Discuss why your proposal is the one that should be funded, how the system would help the organization meets its business and strategic goals, and identify other benefits the system would provide for the stakeholders.
Slide 10: Reference List
The Proposal of Business Information System PowerPoint

8:25 PM (CDT)Assignment DetailsAssignment DescriptionGraduate Programs Discussion BoardsDiscussion Boards (DB) are a key component of online learning. They foster active participation of learners and dialog with fellow learners and instructors. Graduate­level coursesrequire learners to create original posts to course DBs and to engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the course. Original posts and responsesshould be substantive, and if references are made to the works of others, APA guidelines for in­text citations and references apply.Minimum Weekly DB ExpectationsPost an original and thoughtful Main Post to the DB prompt.Respond to at least 2 other posts from learners and/or the instructor (Response Posts).The first contribution (Main Post or Response Post) must be posted before midnight (Central time) on Friday of each week.Two additional responses are required after Friday of each week.For DB assignment prompts with a Part One and Part Two, Part One should be addressed in the first week of the unit with a Main Post and minimum of 2 ResponsePosts, and Part Two should be addressed in the second week of the unit with a Main Post and a minimum of 2 Response Posts.More on DBsAt the end of each unit, DB participation is assessed based on level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. DBs allow learners to learn throughsharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content. Because it is not possible to engage in two­way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB areaccepted after the end of the unit. Learners must demonstrate an appropriate depth of understanding of course content to receive credit for having submitted substantive posts.Typically, this is achieved with 3–4 strong paragraphs for Main Posts and 2–3 strong paragraphs for Response Posts.Discussion Board QuestionYou have subsequently hired recruiters who are not having a great deal of success recruiting and selecting scientists. The dilemma is that these same recruiters, who nowrepresent the bulk of your recruitment staff, are much better at recruiting and selecting sales personnel. The problem is that you probably should have split the difference andhired more sales­oriented recruiters, but you failed to do this.Your choices are the following:A. Allocate additional funds in the budget for additional scientific recruitersB. Train the existing recruitment staff so that they are prepared to recruit and select the appropriate scientists.Respond to the following questions:In your opinion, what are the main issues pertaining to conflict and conflict resolution?How do you demonstrate your ability to effectively deal with conflict?In your opinion, what are the real­life solutions to the problem?What are the criteria for success for this project and how will you measure success?

Time series decomposition seeks to separate the time series (Y) into 4 components: trend (T), cycle (C), seasonal (S), and irregular (I). What is the difference between these components?

/in /by

Time series are particularly useful to track variables such as revenues, costs, and profits over time. Time series models help evaluate performance and make predictions. Consider the following and respond in a minimum of words:

  • Time series decomposition seeks to separate the time series (Y) into 4 components: trend (T), cycle (C), seasonal (S), and irregular (I). What is the difference between these components?
  • The model can be additive or multiplicative. When we do use an additive model? When do we use a multiplicative model?
  • We have different ways of showing and projecting trends in a time series. the three most common are moving averages, exponential smoothing and our new friend regression analysis. How might any of these be used? Have you seen any in use?
