Economic Development – Twelfth edition by Michael P. Todaro & Stephen C. Smith
1. Detail and discuss the barriers to economic growth. What must occur for LDC to move up toward an MDC? Your points should be exhaustive, and state which barriers/traps might be difficult to overcome.
2. What is economic development? How do we know when the economic development process has started and how can you measure its course?
3. What is the Human Development Index? What role might it play in the analysis of developing countries?
4. Compare and contrast the 4 approaches to economic development.
5. As world populations continue to increase, discuss how rapid population growth might threaten the economic progress of developing nations. How might rapid urbanization threaten growth within cities?
6. What is globalization and how is it affecting developing countries?
7. Discuss the dependency that developing countries might have on richer countries? How do richer countries also depend on developing countries?
8. What are complementarities in your everyday life Does the S-shaped curve in figure 4.1 shed any light on them?
9. Select a developing country, provide evidence to suggest which factors are their constraint on growth.
10. Discuss the 3-legged stool of income, health and education and how they might impact or influence economic development. What constraints might they place on growth and discuss policies that might be implemented to improve economic growth via these factors?
11. The gender gap for women in health, diseases, education, and income and the long term impact that either negatively or positively effects growth for the country?
Explain carefully in a six-page essay how each of the following, taken only by itself, shapes relative surplus value:
a. a lengthening of the work-day
b. a rise in labor productivity in the wage goods industry
c. a rise in the intensity of labor.
d. a permanently lowered real wage for and accepted by productive laborers.
The supplement to Chapter 5 in your textbook describes and develops several decision trees. In a 4-5 page paper, not including the cover and reference pages, develop a decision tree for the case described. Explain the process of developing a decision tree; draw the decision tree (include the decision tree in an appendix showing chance nodes, probabilities, outcomes, expected values, and net expected value); and defend your final decision based on your decision tree.
A case for considerationAn operations manager for a cereal producer is faced with a choice of:
A large-scale investment (A) to purchase a new cooker which could produce a substantial pay-off in terms of increased revenue net of costs but requires an investment of 3,750,000 Saudi Riyal. After extensive market research, it is thought that there is a 40% chance that a pay-off of 9,375,000 Saudi Riyal will be realized, but there is a 60% chance that it will be only 3,000,000 Saudi Riyal.
A smaller-scale project (B) to refurbish an existing cooker. At 1,875,000 Saudi Riyal, this option is less costly but produces a lower pay-off. Again, extensive research data suggests a 30% chance of a gain of 3,750,000 Saudi Riyal but a 70% chance of it being only 1,875,000 Saudi Riyal.
Continuing the present operation without change (C) which cost nothing, but produces no pay-off.
Write an essay of 850-1000 words discussing the various reasons of popularity of Bollywood films in the UAE and its possible impact on the Emirati culture as well as the Emirati popular culture. Recently, a Bollywood theme park has been opened in Dubai. You must develop your essay after reading the following articles:
https://www.khaleejtimes.com/editorials-columns/why-the-uae-loves-bollywood-movies
https://www.theodysseyonline.com/bollywood-globalism
Based on your reading these short articles, you may want to develop your arguments in light of the following points. However, these points are only a guideline. You will develop your own arguments and draw evidence from other sources that are relevant to this discussion.
Do you agree with the authors assumption that the Bollywood movies shown here are only for the expatriate Indian audience?
What are the possible consequences of the Bollywood movies on the Emirate culture in general, and the growing film industry in the UAE?
Does the concept cultural imperialism relate to the discussion?
Is the UAE the starting point for the globalization of the Bollywood movies, as the author suggests?

In 300 words, considering vocabulary and key concepts from class, please answer the following questions
without using any quotations:
1. Consider the story Jesus tells of The Widows Offering in Mark 12:41-44 by reading it through all
four sessions of Lectio Divina and taking notes.
2. Considering Aquinas three Rules of Gratitude, assess your life considering the first rule. What is one
example of something in your life that you hadnt previously understood as a gift?
3. After reflecting on rule 1, please complete rules 2 and 3. Explain how you completed them.
By savoring the gifts in your life, like in the third session of Lectio Divina, how does this practice of
rules 2 and 3 increase intimacy in your life?
4. How, like the Widow, does cultivating this practice help us prepare for Heaven?

The final assignment asks you to develop a short research plan that will become the foundation of your DBA program. This plan will evolve as you proceed in your program. Much of this document will be useful in your dissertation, especially the literature review. The headings for each section are in bold below, followed by what is needed in each section.
Introduction
Provide a short introduction to your research. Often this is a sentence or two that says why there is a problem, what the problem is generally, and what you plan to do. Essentially, this section gives the reader an idea of what they will see in the rest of the document.
Problem Statement
Identify the research topic. Justify that this topic is both a business topic and an applied topic. (Length: about one-half page)
Theoretical/Conceptual Framework
Identify a theory or conceptual framework that could be used for your study. Justify how it relates to your topic. (Length: one half to one page)
Literature Review
Provide a three-page literature review that covers the following:
History of your topic. Justify it as a worthwhile topic. What is its impact on business?
Evolution of your theory. Who came up with it, and how has it evolved?
Methods
Discuss your planned methodology. In future courses, you will explore methodologies in greater detail. At this stage, you are simply exploring options as to how you could study this research topic. It is recommended that you avoid mixed methods research as the time involved is significantly greater than a single method. (Length: one half to one page)
Population/Data Collection
Planned population/data collection. If you plan to do interviews, who will you interview? If you plan to collect data from a source, what will that source be? (Length: one half to one page)
Bridging the Gap
Discuss areas you feel you need additional knowledge to complete your research (e.g., statistics if you plan a quantitative study, how to perform interviews if you plan to do a case study).
Conclusion
Bring the entire study goal to a summation. This should be a short paragraph of what you would like to do, why you would like to do it, and what you will need to learn to do it effectively.
Length: 7-10 pages
References: Include a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed journals using your citation manager of choice.
