Economic Development Policy

The unemployment rate based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics from the 1960 - 1961 peaked at 7.1% which the 1960s are considered to be a recession because of the decrease in real GDP and the increase in unemployment. Based on the federal reserve during 1950s - 1960s, the Federal Reserve followed a monetary policy that worked toward to keep both inflation and economic growth reasonably stable, this shows that monetary policies can also cause a recession which means that keynesians economics can actually be an economic disaster. This is significant

Lowering tax rates was another economic change that people said lead to the recovery. Unemployment went from 10.8 percent in December of 1982 to 7.4 percent in December of 1984. Inflation fell from 10.3 percent in 1981to 3.2 percent in 1983. Industries that were hit the hardest during the recession made dramatic improvements; these industries were paper and forest products, rubber, airlines, the auto industry, construction and manufacturing, and the savings and loans industry. During the recession and towards the end of the recession in 1983, President Ronald Regan’s approval ratings were at an all time low.

According to Feason in his book, Kansas in the great depression, he said; “Price falls also had a destabilizing effect in the farm community. Farm income was suddenly reduced, and it became especially services for operators holding mortgages who feared the real burden of their debt dramatically increased. Farm closures and the desperate, even violent attempt to prevent them became increasingly common news”, (p.2). This statement is showing how difficult, it was for the farmers and other U.S. firms to export goods. And being that the farmers make up to 1/3 of the nation in the 1930’s, their decrease in export and lack of income had a big severe effect on the nation’s economy.

Case Study: 1980 Japan RE Boom The governments main purpose weathere local of federal is to put their influence on land use for the “highest and Best use”. There are a few possible ways it can do this, some are: deregulation, regulation, or higher and lower taxes. This essay will discuss the issues that caused the Japanese market boom. I will summarize an answer the case, analyze the situation, the incentives that were gained from the roles of credit, and the government influenc it had in the market. In the article, “ The effect of bank credit on asset prices: Evidence from the Japanese real estate boom during the 1980s” it goes over on whether bank credits fuel assest process after seeing the comparision between banks losing their blue chip

The great depression had affect Canada socially, as population changes occurred, as less immigrants go to canada, and birth rate changes, as well as death rates. Throughout the 1930s, Canada’s population growth reached their lowest point since the 1880s. Canada’s birth rate dropped from 13.1 live births per 1000 people in 1930 to only 9.7 per 1000 people in 1937. The lowest ratio until the 1960s. This affected the nation significantly, as the population decreases, not much children would grow up to work for the nation, thus creating less income and therefore not increasing the nation’s GDP as much as it can.

During the war, production increases for farmers whose land was not battle zones, although the end of the war gave way back to European production, thus providing a downfall in agricultural commodities. Many farm prices decreased between the years of 1920 to 1921, resulting in low incomes for farmers. Agriculture incomes remained stationary while “the United States moved rapidly from an agrarian to an industrial nation” (Leuchtenberg 229). It was not uncommon that many rural Americans did not trust the urban Americans, this is portrayed in the election of 1928 because “Alfred E.Smith and the campaign of 1928 all the tensions between rural and urban America reached their highest pitch” (Leuchtenberg 229). The rural Americans experienced the Great Depression beginning in 1920 rather than the urban Americans in 1929, causing decreased incomes, playing a role in the development of the Great

Because of the excessive objectives that had to be reached the government limited production of the consumer’s goods. This lead to famine, and housing, clothing, and other necessities shortages. Document 3 shows that coal production increased by 110 million metric tons in ten years from 1928 to 1938, during the two Five-Year Plans. However, Document 5 shows how drastically livestock decreased during the two Five-Year Plans. In ten years the livestock population decreased by 16 million.

Development is a normative concept due to which there is a constant tussle in conceptually defining development. There are different models of development parse but it has been increasingly equated to economic development and wrongly paralleled to economic growth. In strictly economic terms, development has conventionally meant a sustained annual increase in GNP (or GDP) at rates that vary from 5 percent to 7 percent or more (Kapila, 2013). Till the 1960’s the term economic development was used as a synonym to economic growth; where the latter meant increase in per capita GNP in real terms (adjusted to inflation). According to the economic historian Kindleberger, “Whereas economic growth merely refers to a rise in output, economic development

Between 1965 and 1980 number of community hospitals increased from 5,736 (741,000 beds) to 5,830 (988,000 beds) and the admission rate has increased from 130 to154 (AHA, 1990). Role of Government in the Decline of Hospitals There has been a tremendous shift and downfall in the hospital growth since the mid-1980s to almost 2005 and this shift is because of decreased utilization of inpatient services and increased use of outpatient services. The three main forces responsible for this shift are the changes in hospital reimbursement, the impact of managed care, hospital closures (Shi. L and Singh. D, chapter 8, 2015).

However, there is plenty of evidence that all was not well with the American economy in the 1920s, and in 1928 the 'boom' began to slow down. Farming- overproduction led to the fall of wheat prices, wheat fell from $183 a bushel in 1920 to only 38 cents in 1929. The average income of a farmer was only 40% of the average american wage and most farmers couldn't afford to pay their mortgage. In 1924 about 600 thousand farmers went bankrupt. Low wage earners- unskilled and just any normal worker or the 2 million unemployed could not seem to prosper just like the rest of the american people.
