The Laffer curve‚ named after the economist Arthur Laffer‚ is a curve that demonstrates the trade-off between tax-rates and tax-revenues (Wanniski 1978). It is used to illustrate the concept of taxable income elasticity‚ the idea that a government can maximise the revenue by setting the tax rates at an optimum point. This curve can be traced back as far as 1844 to a French economist Jules Dupit who in 1844 found similar effects as Laffer did (Laffer 2004). Dupit also saw tax revenues rising from

Hello. Welcome to the fixed income session of the Bloomberg Essential Online Training Program. My name is Kyle Ashworth‚ and today we’ll be discussing the analytics and data monitors that we have available within fixed income on the Bloomberg terminal. The first tool that we want to use to look at news‚ news for fixed income. So what we’ll do is we’ll navigate down to the bottom of the menu‚ and we’ll click on 14 NBOND for bond news. Clicking that‚ it’ll load a very familiar page for you.

Theory of Parabolas By Amergin McDavid A parabola is designed on a basic formula‚ Y=ax^2+bx+c‚ which allows it to achieve a curve not seen in a normal line graphed using a Y=mx+b format. To the left is a graph who’s formula is y=x^2‚ where a=1‚ b=0‚ and c=0. I have isolated the (a) factor to see its effects on the parabola. Below is a graph where I have changed the (a) multiple times. The result is that as the (a) decreases‚ the mouth of the parabola widens due to the fact that (a) is essentially

almost perfect straight line‚ although‚ human error could have effected the outcome because of mistakes measuring‚ as well as plotting of the data on the graph. The velocity versus time graph came out to be a quadratic model‚ having a number of curves. Since this is based off of original measurements‚ any mistakes in measuring would have been multiplied when the velocity was calculated‚ so human error could be prevalent here as well. Conclusion Our hypothesis was only partially supported. The

interconnected objects are represented by mathematical abstractions called vertices‚ and the links that connect some pairs of vertices are called edges.[1]Typically‚ a graph is depicted in diagrammatic form as a set of dots for the vertices‚ joined by lines or curves for the edges. Graphs are one of the objects of study in discrete mathematics. Line graph is a graph that uses line segments to connect data points and shows changes in data over time. A bar graph displays data visually and is sometimes called

The demand curve is the graph depicting the relationship between the price of a certain commodity and the amount of it that consumers are willing and able to purchase at that given price. It is a graphic representation of a demand schedule. The demand curve for all consumers together follows from the demand curve of every

The “J curve” is known as a diagram indicating the climbing up and the sudden down of any idea‚ or action. The “J curve” is an accurate representation of the colonist’s expectations at the time of the “oppressive” British. The “J curve” seems to center around two main points for the colonists. The first was the wars they fought‚ the outcomes‚ and the government and the

The Bell Curve The opinions of Herrnstein and Murray in their book‚ The Bell Curve is that human intelligence is both inherited and also has environmental factors that contribute to a person’s future in many different areas such as; finances‚ a career‚ when they start a family‚ and whether or not a person will break the law instead of a person’s level of education and economic status. The authors go on to say that the more intelligent people of society are keeping their distance from the less
