Factor Endowment Theory critical thinking Economics Assignment Help

1. At one of your clinical sites (or a hospital where you work), search for the hospital’s ethics committee.
   1. Hint: You may need to try several search terms such as “medical ethics” or “ethics consult.”
   2. Hint#2: try searching both on the hospital’s internal network and on Google. You might be surprised at the differences you find.
2. Write a short 1-2 page summary of what you found (and/or the difficulty you had finding the ethics committee).
3. Answer the following questions as best you can:
   1. Who are the members (what positions, not names) of the committee?
   2. What sort of cases do they review?
   3. Who can initiate an ethics consult (health care staff or patient/family?)
4. Please document the URL link to the ethics committee in your report.
   1. If you use other sources, please document them in proper APA style.
5. Please include a title page with your name and assignment title on it.
6. Please check your grammar & spelling.

The first assignment is a paper on whether the US should adopt IFRS or not. The US had committed to IFRS under the Bush administration. The IFRS and FASB boards were working on on converging the standards.

The financial crisis happened and the Obama administration put the conversion on hold and then decided not to do it. While convergence has had a couple big wins recently in the new Revenue and Lease standards that are pretty much the same, the convergence effort is supposed to stop.

Please discuss whether it makes sense for the US to review its decision. Think about some of the following,

1. Impact on investor being able to see the same accounting being applied for similar companies across the globe.

2. Impact on loss of ability to control the standards (i.e. The SEC stepped in and changed implementation of mark to market in the middle of the financial crisis to not cause more issues than were already happening. FASB alas has alot of power and would have to give up most of that..

3. Use the european model of IFRS. Europe had not implemented all IFRS standards so they have a hybrid of standards

4. Ease on auditors across the globe. when auditing different multinational companies.

Again, there are no right and wrong answers. The paper should be at least 2 pages double spaced.

Requirements for the Pendulum Lab Report

The report must be a Word or pdf file smaller than 10 MB. It must be submitted through Blackboard by the deadline. Consult the full grading rubric as you write the report, although the following points summarize the expectations. Please do not copy and paste the list of requirements below into a Word file and fill it out like a worksheet. This will cause your SafeAssign matching percentage to increase dramatically. Also, much of this report can be copied and pasted from your group’s lab records. Be sure to put things in your own words, however, or your SafeAssign matching percentage will get too high.

1.Your name, first and last names of all lab partners, descriptive title of the experiment that includes the DV and IV(s), and when the experiment was conducted.

2.An experimental design template for eachfactor investigated. See example below. Number and descriptively title each table for easy reference (ex. “Table 1. Experimental design plan for determining impact of mass on acceleration of car.”)

Experimental Design Template
Research Question	What impacts the period of a pendulum for small swings?
Dependent variable (DV)
Independent variable (IV)
Control Variables (CV)	(include actual values)
Testable Hypothesis
Prediction

3.Data tables and graphs for eachfactor investigated.

a.Include column headers and units for each table. Number and title each table for reference (ex. “Table 1. Data for investigating whether car mass impacts acceleration.”).

b.On each graph include labels with units for each axis and error bars for each point. (If bars are too small to be seen, include a note near the table indicating this.) Number and title graphs for reference (ex. “Figure 1. Graph of cart mass versus speed.”).

c.Include all measurement uncertainties anddescribe how these were estimated.

4.Discussion and conclusion.

a.Restate for the reader the research question being investigated in this lab.

b.Discuss how each of the three experiments addressed the research question, what claims were made, and the conditions under which the claims are valid. Refer to each graph in your discussion.

c.State the theoretical mathematical model for the period of a pendulum and discuss how your data fits with this model. Be sure to refer to the data tables or graphs in this discussion. Even those factors that did not impact the period of the pendulum should be discussed here and compared to what is included in the theoretical model.

d.Discuss which errors (random and/or systematic) were present and what was done to reduce them (or could be done in the future to reduce them).

e.Discuss any constraints in this experiment that may limit the generalizability of your results.

5.Correct grammar usage and properly cited references, if applicable.It is important to proofread your writing and to correct mistakes in spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Background data collection and analysis:

1. Download GDP data for China, India, and Canada starting in the year of the 1980s corresponding to the last digit of your B00 number. For example, if your B00 number ends in 5, collect data starting in 1985; if your B00 number ends in 7, collect data starting in 1987. Find data through the year 2018. Use the series GDP (constant 2010 US$).

2. For China, India, and Canada separately, calculate the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of GDP between your earliest year (selected according to the last digit of your B00 number) and the year 2018. (Note: The formula for CAGR is (end value/beginning value)^(1/number of years) – 1, × 100 to get a percentage.)

3. Construct a figure showing the GDP of China, India, and Canada on the same chart.

4. Download GDP per capita data for China, India, and Canada starting in the year of the 1980s corresponding to the last digit of your B00 number. Find data through the year 2018. Use the series GDP per capita (constant 2010 US$).

5. For China, India, and Canada separately, calculate the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of GDP per capita between your earliest year (selected according to the last digit of your B00 number) and the year 2018.

6. Construct a figure showing the GDP per capita of China, India, and Canada on the same chart.

7. Bosworth and Collins (2008) use three variables to explain why GDP per capita has grown: physical capital accumulation, human capital accumulation, and openness. Download data on each explanatory variable for China and India starting in the year of the 1980s corresponding to the last digit of your B00 number and ending in the year 2018, or the latest year available. Use the series Gross fixed capital formation (% of GDP), School enrollment, secondary (% gross) (note: not available for each year), and Trade (% of GDP).

8. For China and India (separately), calculate the correlation coefficient between each explanatory variable and GDP per capita between your earliest year (selected according to the last digit of your B00 number) and the year 2018, or the latest year available.

Essay:

In your essay, describe the growth performance of China and India, both in absolute terms and in per-capita terms. Compare the two countries to each other and to Canada, and discuss whether each explanatory variable helps to explain growth performance. Which of the three variables has the highest correlation with GDP per capita? Do Bosworth and Collins (2008) also find this variable to be important?

Detailed Instructions:

Your essay must have a title, an introduction, and a conclusion. Make sure to define your terms and provide appropriate background information. A suggested essay structure contains five paragraphs:

• a first paragraph that briefly introduces the argument you will make in the essay;
• and a fifth, concluding, paragraph that briefly describes the main points you have made in the essay.

a second paragraph describing and comparing how total GDP has changed over time;

a third paragraph describing and comparing how per-capita GDP has changed over time;

a fourth paragraph describing how well each explanatory variable explains China’s and India’s growth performance, including Bosworth and Collins’ findings;

The maximum length is 500 words plus a two-page data appendix; include a word count at the end of your submission. Include the grading rubric as the first page of your submission. Use Chicago or APA style, and write in 11- or 12-point font, double-spaced, with one-inch margins. Provide a bibliography listing the references you use, including the class PowerPoints if relevant. You must submit a hard copy (in class) and an electronic copy (on Brightspace) by the deadline. Please note that the electronic copy will be submitted to anti-plagiarism software.

Data Appendix:

The data appendix should include enough detail for the grader to determine that you downloaded the correct data and performed the calculations accurately; if not all of your data fits on two pages, you may decide to include only the first and last years of information. Required charts and figures go into the body of your essay; any supplemental charts and figures should be placed in your data appendix.
