Is it possible to correct both the inflation and the output lost at the same time?
MACRO Environment of Business
Q1. According to a report by IMF in 2007: “World growth in recent years has been much more rapid than at any time since the oil price surges of the 1970s. This growth is being shared across countries to an unprecedented degree. Moreover, output volatility in most countries and regions has significantly declined. Analyses show that these changes in business cycle characteristics and finds that the increasing stability and the associated increase in the durability of expansions largely reflect sources that are likely to prove persistent. Improvements in the conduct of monetary and fiscal policy, as well as in broader institutional quality, have all reduced output volatility. The prospects for future stability should, however, not be taken for granted. Low average volatility does not mean that the
business cycle is dead. The abrupt end to the period of strong and sustained growth in the 1960s and early 1970s provides a useful cautionary lesson about what can happen if policies do not adjust to tackle emerging risks in a timely manner”.
Since the report, we have seen two major recessions, the Great Recession (the 2008 Crisis) and the current recession due to the global pandemic. These recessions are of magnitude that are unprecedented compared to the recession of the last 50 years. The report informs about the reduction in the fluctuations around the growth trend (that is what volatility roughly means) and praise the possibility of sustained growth. So, how should we interpret what happened since, is the low volatility period dead and recessions are back and even stronger?
Make your evaluation based on the business cycle analysis and do a bit research if necessary. Extend your thoughts into the questions; why low/less fluctuations are desirable? We know the long run economic growth depends on some fundamental factors, then if those are not changing what makes the economy fluctuate in the short run (i.e., put the economy into a recession); What could be the next emerging risks in 2021 and onwards compared to the stable growth period (sometimes known as the Great moderation period until 2008)? What are the general and specific risks to tackle in the Kingdom, GCC, globally?

Q2. Labor markets are hard to stabilize but easy to upset by policy. Remember we talked about “the natural rate of unemployment” in the class. This rate is specific to a particular economy, and it can be low or high depending on some economic factors as we discussed. Please use lecture notes, do your research online and come up with a discussion about the natural rate of unemployment for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. You are not expected to come up with a prediction for the rate using a statistical technique of course. However, rather what is expected from you is rather a qualitative (economics backed) assessment of the natural rate of unemployment. As this rate is vital for understanding the long run growth potential and dynamics of a country, your discussion should also include the policy recommendations for lowering this rate as well as the reasons why it is high (if it is).
Discussion must include economic reasoning and if necessary, backed by references to other sources.
However, since there might not be many resources on the topic (on Saudi Arabia), do not just depend on a couple of resources and do not adapt their perspectives but built your own reasoning based on what you learned about the natural rate of unemployment, its dynamics, effects on long run growth.
In fact, your assessment should be based on changing labor markets phenomenon and its implications in Saudi Arabia at large.
Q3. Stagflation: Output falls, prices rise. An economy faces this situation in some extreme situations.
In this question using the AD-AS framework, can you describe an economy facing a stagflation graphically? Next In your analysis show how government policy can correct the output lost in the short run. What would be the cost of such a policy in general? Is it possible to correct both the inflation and the output lost at the same time?

What is your own vision for the future of the Internet, its advantages and disadvantages-both in your own life and in the quality of life on this planet?
After reading or listening to the story, reflect on Forster’s theme and the role of the Internet since its development. Also consider what you have learned from course readings, discussions, and assignments such as( the online learning with covid and Children, screen time, Youtube, and how to control that)
which you respond to these questions and directives:
• We know that the architecture of the Internet makes it highly unlikely that the Internet would stop as Forster’s Machine does. However, think about how our lives have changed because of the Internet and whether you believe our lives have improved because of it.
•How does Forster’s vision help us understand the role of this technology in our lives?
•What is your own vision for the future of the Internet, its advantages and disadvantages-both in your own life and in the quality of life on this planet?
• Make four specific references to Forster’s story (in addition to identifying the six terms below within the essay). Include Forster’s name and the page number in the citation; for example, (Forster 12). Two of these references should be relevant quotations that you integrate (introduce) in your essay.
• Use a descriptive title reflecting the thesis or main point of your essay.
