In The Budget Balance powerpoint, I pointed out that the real economic sacrifice imposed on the country by government borrowing could be zero – or it could be substantial - depending on what the government does with the money. In the article, "Entitlements, Public Investment, and the Changing Nature of the U.S. Government," on Tim Taylor's blog, Conversable Economist, we find that ‘what the government does with the money’ has been changing over time in a consistent manner. I want you to consider three points related to that article: 1. How has the composition of government spending changed since the 1960's? Support your answer with examples from the article. 2. Then explain how the various categories of federal government spending (such as spending on entitlements, or infrastructure or basic research) qualify as either consumption or investment spending. In your answer, be sure to define the terms ‘consumption’ and ‘investment.’ 3. Explain how the changing pattern of gove
I want you to consider three points related to that article:
- How has the composition of government spending changed since the 1960's? Support your answer with examples from the article. (One paragraph)
- 2. Then explain how the various categories of federal government spending (such as spending on entitlements, or infrastructure or basic research) qualify as either consumption or investment spending. In your answer, be sure to define the terms ‘consumption’ and ‘investment’ (see next slide) (One paragraph)
- Explain how the changing pattern of government spending affects the real economic burden of the national debt. (See the Budget Deficits and the Public Debt powerpoint. (Two paragraphs)

One-period production economy Consider the case of a consumer who lives only for one period. Answer the following questions. For all these questions assume that her felicity function is given by the function u(c, l) = ? ln c + (1 ? ?) ln l, where c stands for consumption, l for leisure and ? denotes how she values consumption relative to leisure. For instance, if ? = 1 then shes does not care about leisure. In addition, she earns a wage w per hour worked. 1. Assme that her only source of income is her labor income. Derive algebraic expressions for the optimal leisure and consumption 2. Assume now that she receives a lump-sum subsidy S . What is the e?ect of this susbsidy on her optimal hours-worked and consumption? 3. Assume now that she receives the same lump-sum subsidy S but in addition she pays a lump-sum tax T of the same amount. Determine what happens with her optimal leisure and consumption 4. Assume that she pays a labor income tax t for every dollar earned. Determine what happ

- Compare the three (3) current health care financing and funding models (i.e., employee based, government based, and individual based) used with the health care delivery system of the United States.
- Compare and contrast key economic goals of public and private health insurance plans. Evaluate the success potential of key economic goals in terms of populations covered, services included, financing arrangements, reimbursement strategies, and economic competition policies.

PTO policies have become good tools for HR staff to use in terms of organizational incentives. Now, let us go back to Company A and Company B from Module 1.
While reviewing the information from the two merged companies, the HR Director has found out that each company has two different PTO policies.
Company A has a PTO system in which employees are given 30 days of paid time off each year, which accumulates at the rate of 2.5 days a month. Under this policy, vacation and sick leave are all rolled into one paid leave and any absence whether scheduled, such as vacation, or unscheduled, such as sick leave, are taken from the accumulated leave the employee has earned.
Company B has a more traditional leave system in which employees are given 12 days of vacation, 10 days of sick leave and 10 holidays. The company is closed on those holidays. Vacation is accumulated at a day per month. Sick leave has an unlimited accumulation, but unlike vacation would not be paid out upon
