PSY303 Paper #1

Part 1. A data paper is an article that describes a dataset or a collection of related datasets. In their data paper, Liu et al. (2020) describe four datasets that contain variables regarding beliefs about free will and determinism and other related constructs. For this course, we will be using dataset 4 from this paper. The following questions refer specifically to dataset 4.

When was the data collected?

Where were the participants recruited from? (hint: 2 locations)

True or False: All participants were students. (hint: answer is on page 1)

Sample properties:
n =

International collaboration and globalisation

Your Policy Brief needs to consider the ways that the Australian economy is part of the Asian-Pacific region and connected to the rest of the world. Your team is analysing the ways that countries interact with each other for the purpose of elevating economic prosperity and overall wellbeing.

a) Explain what is meant by the term ‘globalisation’ and what is the link between globalisation and wellbeing? (2-3 sentences)

b) As the world looks to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, give some examples of the ways that international collaboration and co-operation are important for the global recovery? In what ways has international collaboration been under threat during the pandemic, and what policy arrangements and institutional settings can help to ensure that countries continue to co-operate with each other in the future? (2-3 sentences)

c) The Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) reports on Australia’s trade patterns with the rest of the world, as illustrated in the map below. In its 2021 Benchmark Report, Austrade noted that “12 of Australia’s top 15 export markets are in the Asian region. China remained Australia’s largest trading partner in 2020, accounting for around 31% of total two-way trade. Japan and Korea continue to be important trade partners, representing around 13% of total trade.”

Source: Austrade, Benchmark Report 2021 https://www.austrade.gov.au/benchmark-report/global-ties (Accessed 1 September 2021).
Much of Australia’s exports with these Asia-Pacific countries include commodities such as iron ore, coal and agricultural products, but also include services such as tourism and international education. When Australia’s international borders reopen and visitors from China, Japan and South Korea can travel to Australia again, what do you predict will happen to the value of the Australian dollar, and why? (2-3 sentences)

a) Your team of economists is constantly monitoring economic conditions around the world, on the lookout for any potential economic shocks that could disrupt the global economy. In recent weeks, your attention has been focused on the UK economy which has been experiencing multiple economic challenges: shortages and price rises in fuel; shortages in transport workers due to the consequences of Brexit; and large disruptions to supply chains that are preventing the transportation of many essential products.
Visually illustrate this shock to the UK economy using the following AD-AS diagram. For simplicity, assume that the economy is initially at Y*.
Imagine that your economist colleagues working at the Bank of England have contacted you to ask for your economic advice. Australia has recently signed on a new trade deal with the UK and it is in Australia’s interest for the UK economy to restrengthen. What ‘doubly problematic’ macroeconomic concerns would you alert them to in relation to this type of economic shock? (1-2 sentences)
The Bank of England is trying to figure out the most appropriate monetary policy response in this situation. Your colleagues inform you that they are concerned about unemployment, but even more concerned about inflation. What monetary policy prescription would you recommend? (2-3 sentences)
Adding on what you have already illustrated in your AD-AS diagram, illustrate what would happen to the UK economy if they adopt your policy advice. Use the bullet points to explain each step Be sure to show the final effect on Output and Price Level, relative to your starting equilibrium.

Illustration of the economic shock on the UK economy and your recommendation for the Bank of England’s monetary policy response

Use these bullet points to firstly explain the shock being experienced by the UK economy, followed by an explanation of your policy advice to the Bank of England. Be sure to refer to every element on your AD-AS diagram:

Problem solving assessment

Philomena owns a bookshop which specialises in acquiring and selling rare books. She recently saw an advertisement in a specialist book magazine for a first edition of a book written by Niccolò Machiavelli. The advertisement, which had been placed by Mark Harrington of Harrington’s Rare Books, stated that it was ‘on offer for £1000’. Philomena telephoned Mark on Monday morning. She informed Mark that she would buy the book for £750. Mark replied that he would sell it for £900. Philomena responded by saying she would need some time to think about buying the book for £900. Mark informed Philomena that he would not sell the book to anyone else until Philomena phoned him back in three days’ time with her final decision.
On the same day that Philomena had telephoned Mark, Ronan visited Philomena’s shop that afternoon. Ronan asked Philomena if she had a first edition of the book written by Niccolò Machiavelli and told Philomena that he would be willing to pay £1500 for such a book. Philomena informed Ronan that she would be able to obtain and sell him the book. Ronan was delighted and paid Philomena the £1500 in cash. She informed Ronan that he would be able to collect the book on Friday at 4pm. As soon as Ronan left the shop Philomena telephoned Mark. She informed Mark that she would purchase the book for £900. However, Mark informed Philomena that he had already sold the book to Greta for the asking price of £1000.
Philomena has been searching the internet and managed to find another first edition of the book written by Niccolò Machiavelli. It is on sale in a bookshop called Golden Treasures which is owned by Herbie Tomkins. Philomena telephones Herbie on Tuesday morning and asks if he still has the first edition of the book written by Niccolò Machiavelli. Herbie confirms he has the book and the asking price is £1300. Philomena informs Herbie that she needs some time to think about the price but will call him back at 5pm today.
Philomena decided to purchase the book from Herbie for £1300 as she will still make a £200 profit on the resale to Ronan. Philomena telephones Herbie at 5.35pm. Unfortunately, Herbie closed the shop at 5.30pm and her call is taken by the answer machine. Philomena is informed that the shop is now closed and will reopen on Thursday at 10am and to leave a message. Philomena leaves the following message for Herbie: ‘Hi Herbie, this is Philomena. I telephoned you today about the purchase of the first edition of the book written by Niccolò Machiavelli at a purchase price of £1300. I wish to accept your offer and will collect the book this Friday no later than 11am. I will put a cheque for £1300 in the post with a covering letter confirming my purchase. Bye for now.’ Philomena then writes a short letter confirming she is buying the book and places a cheque for £1300 inside the envelope with the letter. She writes the address of Herbie’s shop on the front of the envelope and posts the letter on Tuesday evening.
On Wednesday morning Herbie’s shop cleaner let’s himself in to the shop. He unplugs the answer machine, so he can use the vacuum cleaner but forgets to plug the answer machine back into the electrical socket when he finishes.
On Thursday morning Herbie opens his shop and his first customer is Tanisha. She asks Herbie if he has a first edition of the book written by Niccolò Machiavelli. He informs Tanisha that he has one copy of the book and the asking price is £1300. Tanisha agrees to buy the book, pays and leaves taking the book with her.
On Friday morning at 9am Herbie discovers that his answer machine has been unplugged. He immediately plugs in the answer machine and listens to Philomena’s message. Ten minutes later Philomena’s letter, along with the cheque for £1300 arrives. At 11am Philomena arrives at Herbie’s shop only to discover that the book has been sold to Tanisha.
Advise Philomena of any potential liabilities in contract law.
