A certain economy consibt ing of the two sectors of goods and servicessupports a defense system that consumes $90 billion wort h of goods and$20 billion worth of services from the economy but does not contributeto economic production. Suppose that 50 cents worth of goods and 20cents worth of services are required to produce $1 wort h of goods andthat 30 cents worth of goods and 60 cents worth of services are requiredto produce $1 wort h of services. ·what must the total output of theeconomic system be to support this defense system?

READ CAREFULLY You are to pick two out of the seven political philosophers we have discussed in class, and explain regarding one of them why you most favor how this philosopher has laid out his way of seeing the world, and how he explained how best to organize society and government. Then regarding the second political philosopher, explain why you most disfavor how this philosopher has laid out his way of seeing the world, and how he explained how best to organize society and government. Consider how they both viewed human nature and the equal/unequal nature of humans, and how that helps explain their world view. The length of your response for each philosopher should be 1-2 pages, double spaced with one inch margin all around. If you quote someone, be sure to reference the quote, and everything else should be written in your own words. Here is the list of political philosophers we have discussed in class: Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Marx and Nietzsche I
Let us now turn to the decisions that the governments would make if they were inde- pendently choosing whether to impose a tax or not. In the US, firms using the clean technology emit a total of 0 tonnes of CO2 emissions, while firms using the polluting technology emit a total of 900 tonnes of CO2 emissions. In Fiji, firms using the clean technology emit 0 tonnes of CO2 emissions, while firms using the polluting technology emit 100 tonnes of CO2 emissions. The governments of each country care about three things: (1) how much net profits their representative firm makes, (2) how many total CO2 emissions are emitted in the world, and (3) how much tax income they receive. In particular, let πi (qi) denote the profits of the representative firm in country i when it chooses technology qi and E(qu, qF) = Eu (qu)+EF (qF) the total CO2 emissions in the world. Then each country's payoffs are given by: - Uu (qu, qF, E) = 1000 × [TU (qu) — TU] — E(qu, qF) + 1000 × TU UF (qu,qF, E) = πF (qF) — TF –…

Imagine a scenic canyon, visited by many local people as well as tourists from beyondthe local area. Consider a scenario in which a mining company has proposed to the localauthority that it be closed to the public and put into the production of coal. Thinking interms of economics as a way of adjudicating the relative value of one use of the canyon overthe other, what would you need to know in order to make a comparison or assessment?What kinds of quantitative data would inform your decision, and where might they comefrom? What kinds of things might you need to know that are hard to measure? Once youhave listed the kinds of information and data that might be available to inform this decision, do you think it would be sufficient to making this decision, why or why not?
