“Countries grow at different rates because they accumulate capital at different rates.” Is this true? Explain your answer. Since the Industrial Revolution‚ economists have attempted to explain why certain countries economies grow at greater rates than others. The post-Keynesian era saw the introduction of the Harrod-Domar model of economic growth. This model explained an economy’s growth rate by observing the level of saving and productivity of capital in the economy. The neo-classical Solow-Swann

The topic is The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Dissolving. In this experiment‚ the scientist will research how the temperature of water will affect the rate of dissolving of different chemical solutes. The independent variable in this experiment are the different types of solutes used and the different temperatures the solvent will be adjusted to‚ and the dependent variable is the amount of weight of the solvent after the solute has dissolved in it. The constants are the same cups used to

The enzyme which will be used is different concentrations of potato and the reactant used will be Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide which will be the buffer solution is a PH of 7.2. My hypothesis for the experiment is that as the concentration of the enzyme is increased the rate of reaction will be increased‚ producing oxygen at a faster rate. The results

reverse repo rate These are the rates which are used by reserve banks (RBI in India) to inject or absorb liquidity from banking system. Repo rate is the rate at which the RBI lends money to the commercial banks or the rate it which banks borrow money from RBI. When RBI increases repo rate borrowing from RBI becomes more expensive. RBI increases repo rate to make it more expensive for the banks to borrow money. If RBI reduces the repo rate means banks can borrow money at cheaper rates. The term repo

Aim: The rate at which a reaction occurs‚ or takes place‚ is affected by various factors‚ such as the temperature at which the experiment is conducted in‚ the pressure which is given‚ the surface area which is exposed‚ use of catalysts‚ and the concentration. In this investigation‚ I would be investigating the affect of surface area‚ or particle size‚ in the rate at which a reaction occurs. Background Information: The more finely divided the solid is‚ the faster the reaction happens. A powdered

Dividend Discount Model requires input of next year’s expected dividend distributed‚ a required rate of return by shareholders and an estimation of growth rate. Since JetBlue does not pay out dividend before listed (despite dividend distributed to preferred shares shareholders)‚ such model is considered as inapplicable.
