Why the aggregate demand curve slopes downward: To answer this question‚ we recall that the components of economy’s GDP: Y = C + I + G + NX We assume that government spending is fixed. The other three components: consumption‚ investment‚ and net exports depend on economic conditions and on the price level. 1. The price level and consumption: The wealth effect: Ex: The nominal value of a dollar is fixed‚ yet‚ the real value of a dollar is not fixed. Coca Pizza 1 $ 1 0.5$ 2 → A decrease

Limitations of the Lorenz Curve The Lorenz Curve illustrates the degree of equality (or inequality) of distribution of income in an economy. It plots the cumulative percentage of income received by cumulative shares of the population and includes a straight line to illustrate perfect income equality. Thus‚ the closer the Lorenz curve is to the straight line‚ the greater the equality in income distribution‚ while‚ the further away it is from the straight line‚ the more unequal the distribution

The following explains what the mysterious S Curve is‚ why it is an important project management tool‚ and how to generate one. What is a S Curve? A S Curve is defined as "a display of cumulative costs‚ labour hours or other quantities plotted against time. The name derives from

Stock Market Model (Sine Curve) Sine curve is a technique used in everyday life. Whether it be from sound waves‚ to electrical curves‚ or light waves‚ sine curve is all around us. One place that is hugely affected by sine curve is the STOCK MARKET. The stock market is where “ publicly held companies are issued or traded through either exchanged or over-the-counter market”(investopedia.com). The purpose of using sine curve is to show whether or not the market is a cycle mode or a trend mode
