Some Options for Maintaining the Positive Effects of Trade and Addressing Negative Effects

Authors: Piero Benazzo
Comments: 21 Pages.

The analysis looks into how trade would act as a communicating vessel which diffuses positive effects of increase in productivity. In addition, this tends to communicate and diffuse dynamics of increased inequalities. Increase in inequalities would bring to a hidden effect due to a dual economy differential inflationary dynamics between the subsistence sector and the rest of the economy. These would hide an underestimation of inequality and would involute into further increase in inequalities. This would eventually decrease the market size for selling to a larger degree than the increase in market size thanks to improved productivity. A frame of solution proposed would be to keep the positive effects of trade and find a new deal for addressing its negative effects. This would mean decreasing inequality. One general frame for such deal in trade would be to impose duties commensurate to the differential inequality between importer and exporter’s country. In addition, to contribute reabsorbing inequality, the collected duties on imports could be sent back to the exporting countries, on the condition that they be used for decreasing inequalities.

Money Supply, Velocity and Asset Prices: Evidence from US Economy

Authors: Romain Bocher
Comments: 9 Pages.

This paper revisits the equation of exchange from the quantity theory of money, expanding the definition of the purchasing power of money to capital and property investment. Based on this new equation, empirical data on US Economy from 2009 to 2019 enable to show that money velocity is the main determinant of asset transactions and prices. Finally, the concept of velocity is reexamined to integrate the marginal propensity of money to inflate prices, leading to a better understanding of economic distortions caused by monetary policy.

Authors: Ekeme Ekere Afia
Comments: 7 Pages.

People like travel for a plethora of reasons: self-discovery, self-care, pursuit of adventures or even as a hobby. Particularly, in the face of immediate costs and delayed rewards, present biased individuals exhibit self-control problems in performing an action and as a result, procrastinate for as long as possible. This paper provides a behavioral intervention – targeting clients through gift coupons and vacation saving schemes in order to provide a nudge towards booking more flights, thereby increasing sales at Air-Canada.
