we are focused on the different environments in which companies operate and the market power related to each of these environments.

The environment in which a company operates is referred to as a market structure. There are four primary structures:  perfect competition; monopolistic competition; oligopoly; and, monopoly. A perfection competition has no market power to influence pricing while a monopoly has market power because it can set prices and in turn increase profits. The other two structures vary in degrees of market power based on combine characteristics of both competitive and monopolistic structures. For the first part of this weeks discussion complete the following task:

***Select one of the major market structures outlined on page 173 of the text, and then identify two existing companies that you believe represent this structure and explain why.

The level, or degree, of a companys market power is directly related to the principle of barriers into the market. Barriers are defined as any structural, legal, or regulatory characteristics of the company and the market structure that prevent other companies from producing comparable products at the same costs. Firms with market power will use several strategies to create these barriers: pricing; cost reduction; and, new product development. For the second part of this weeks discussion complete the following task by Friday and then respond to at least two of your classmates posting by Sunday:

***Using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index on pages 215-216 of the text identify the market power of at least two companies.

Discuss how structural shifts in the postwar period have interacted to shape the uneven development of the global economy. Elaborate your answer with reference from the provided materials to at least two of the following themes: trade, production, finance, labor, gender, and ecology.
Please note that the essay prompt is deliberately open-ended. There are no right or wrong answers to the essay prompt, though your answer can be more or less persuasively argued, more or less consistently developed, better or worse grounded in an analysis of the provided materials. You cannot possibly fit into the space of this essay all of the relevant information. You will have to be selective in your engagement with the material, i.e. emphasize certain dimensions of the postwar economic order over others, and accordingly identify the key concepts and arguments that illuminate the specific dimensions you focus on. IMPORTANT: Use of resources outside of the provided materials is strictly forbidden.

Welcome to Macroeconomics! In this first discussion activity, you will select a relevant macroeconomic topic and explore it to identify basic concepts. You can choose a topic such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Real GDP, GDP per capita, population, inflation, interest rates, unemployment, fiscal and monetary policy, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Government, poverty, or the Human Development Index (HDI).

Locate a recent article or event (published within the last year) that highlights your selected macroeconomic topic. Use the Hunt Library, newspapers, new stations, or other credible sources to discuss how your topic aligns with macroeconomics. Include the following in your discussion.

State the article or event selected.
Identify the macroeconomic concept(s).
Describe your findings.
Analyze the relevance to real-life applications.
Summarize your findings using at least 250 words and provide a minimum of one reference. Use current APA formatting to document your sources.

Paper #2: Macroeconomics Country Outlook
All students must pick a different country and must have the country approved by the professor. This is a major paper and should be a minimum of 1500 words.
Paper #2 is worth 20% of your overall course mark.
Forecasting the future is one of the most important things that economists are asked to do. Governments have a few macroeconomic tools that they can use to indicate how a countrys economy is doing. An important part of all macroeconomic courses is to develop an understanding of what these economic indicators are, as well as how they are created so that we can extrapolate into the future. In this paper, you are asked to use your newly acquired macroeconomic knowledge to predict the future.
It is expected that the paper will be free of grammatical errors.
This paper will be submitted through Turnitin to review for plagiarism.
Specifically, you are to forecast the following key macro-economic variables in your country of choice for five years starting with 2020 through 2024 using this simple chart:
Variable/Year    2020    2021    2022    2023    2024    5-year average
USD$ Real GDP/Capita                       
Growth rate of Real GDP/Capita                       
Inflation Rate                       
Unemployment Rate                       
Interest Rate                       

1.Real GDP/Capita in USD$
2. The growth rate of Real GDP per Capita (% change per year)
3.    The inflation rate (%)
4.The unemployment rate (%) and
5.Interest rates

Include the following sections in your paper.
1) Introduction
Explaining what you are going to write about.
2) Background and History
What are the important key historic factors? For example, did the country recently receive independence or become a member of the World Trade Organization or something else? What is the current economy like? Is it going through some sort of economic crisis or recession?
3) Definitions
Define each variable (Five listed above) and explain how they are determined.
Explain why each variable is an important economic indicator and why these numbers are important to you or to people in that country. In other words, what will the real impact of these forecasts going to be on the people?
4) Five Year Average Predictions/Calculations
For the calculation and actual numbers of your predictions, the basic approach will be to calculate a five-year average for each of the five forecast variables.
5) Explanation of Predictions/Forecast
The most important part of the paper is your explanation.
Use your own words.
Carefully and completely explain why you believe that your forecast is true.
Convince the reader that your numbers are based on solid predictions and explain why. You may wish to sight historical information.
You are free to consult published forecasts and use them as a basis for your prediction.
6) Conclusion
The conclusion is a summary that not only reiterates the main points of the paper, but draws the paper together, like a thread sewing the pieces of a quilt together. A strong conclusion that has been backed up in the main body of the paper will result in a winning paper.
7) References
References must be current and from multiple sources and from mixed media.

Be sure to use APA and reference any quotations or web material that you use in your paper. The various chartered banks and investment dealers also prepare macroeconomic forecasts which may be useful as a source of ideas.

Analyze the change in inequality between 1980 and 2014. Suggest some explanations for any similarities and differences you observe across time and in comparison to the United States. You may want to research your chosen(CHINA) country to see if there were any changes in government policy, economic events, or other factors that may affect the income distribution.
    Describe data analysis only the values for 1980 and 2014 are visible. You will be using this data as the basis for the Lorenz curves.
    Analyze how the distribution has changed over time by drawing the two Lorenz curves.
    With the Gini coefficients and perhaps discuss income shares of the bottom, middle, and top of the distribution.
    Add a reference section if you obtain addition country information, not included in page count.
