If I'm not teaching economics this year, why am I still posting?

Simple. I'll be posting links and thoughts I may find useful in the future. In the meantime, USM economics students and any other interested persons should feel free to follow along, comment, whatever.

Homework for Friday

First listen to this piece on Venezuela from the show Marketplace. Take notes using some of the terms and ideas we discussed on chapter 7 today in class. (Here is the link for the text if you are unable to listen.)

Second, suppose you were an investor interested in investing a substantial sum of money in a foreign country's industry. Do a little research into economic conditions in your country. Again, think about the factors of production and ways of encouraging growth we discussed in class today. Suggested links: go to worldbank.org and click on the Countries tab, or try the CIA fact book. Here is a form to fill out.

Andy-Cuba
Paige-Tanzania
Lola-Thailand
Firass-El Salvador
Sam- Romania
Saira- Algeria
Aahad- Nepal
Tommy- Zimbabwe
