which causes an increase in net exports of country X. In addition‚ smaller interest rates are known to increase investment‚ which can also explain the shift in DD. The case of monetary contraction is similar. Thus with fixed exchange rates‚ monetary shocks transmit positively from the US to country X. b. Suppose now that the US aggregate demand increases. Perhaps fiscal policy in the US expands. An increase in the US aggregate demand increases US nominal rates and‚ with fixed exchange rates‚ forces

This paper is about the neurological problems that could arise following the use of recreational drugs and substances from a neurological perceptive. In this paper I cover general categories of recreational drugs verses specific drug by drug classifications. I present this information with minimal consideration of the added complications of the interactions between recreational drugs‚ alcohol‚ pharmacological products‚ and predisposing or current mental and physical health.

to identify the dependent measures. “The primary dependent measure for any subject is the maximum shock he administers before he goes any further”. To determine if the subject was obedient‚ the experimenter looked at how many shock levels were administered. The subject is considered a “defiant subject if he administered below thirteen shock levels and an obedient subject if he administered all shock levels commanded”. Obtaining sufficient evidence is important before drawing any conclusions; therefore

It was demonstrated later on that when there is an escape easily accessed they still failed to escape the shock. This test consisted of a shuttle box which was split in half by a divider. The electricity was only run through one side of the box forcing the dog to escape the shock by jumping over the divider. This behavior is normally learned quickly because it

Milgram developed an intimidating shock generator‚ with shock levels starting at 30 volts and increasing in 15-volt increments all the way up to 450 volts. The many switches were labeled with terms including "slight shock‚" "moderate shock" and "danger: severe shock." The final two switches were labeled simply with an "XXX.

In countries like Pakistan‚ the discussion has focused on the impact of substantially higher food and fuel prices on poverty. This paper used PSLM and MICS household level data to analyze the impact of higher food and energy prices on the poverty head count and the poverty gap ratio in Pakistan. Simulated food and energy price shocks present some important results: First‚ the impact of food price

Discuss the ethics of Milgram’s obedience study. In the years 1961-1962‚ Stanley Milgram - Yale University psychologist‚ conducted the first of the obedience experiments‚ which were also called "shock" studies. The research was invented to check if the people would be ready to harm somebody just to meet the requirements of the experiment. This essay will be focused on the ethical side of the study.
