Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at and compares the issue of economic theory and reality. In examination of this matter, the writer discusses the views and theories of Adam Smith, Karl Marx and Keynes.
From the Paper
"Adam Smith has gotten a bad reputation in recent years. He has been held up as the darling of the New Right in its attempt to deify the 'free market' and roll back the social reforms of the 20th Century, but for his time, Smith was remarkably on the money. He couldn't predict the dramatic technological and social upheaval of the subsequent industrial revolutions, but he was fully aware of the conflict between the interests of the business class and the public good, and gave plenty of warning of such."

Abstract
This paper examines components of restrictive rent control legislation and its economic and social consequences in America. This examination focuses specifically on rent control applications in New York City and the urban cities of Santa Monica and Berkeley, California. Additionally, the paper discusses how government regulations violate two of the eight basic principles of economic thinking. These basic principles are: (1) incentives matter ? choice is influenced in a predictable way by changes in economic incentives and (2) economic actions often generate secondary effects in addition to their immediate effects.
From the Paper
"Rent control is one of the most controversial social welfare programs in existence. In 1943 and after World War II, the federal government enacted rent controls as a ?temporary? attempt to combat housing shortages in intensive populated or urban areas and to protect residents from high housing prices. Opponents argue that rent control result in decreased levels of construction, decreased levels of maintenance on existing properties, and abnormal housing vacancies, and is therefore economically ineffective. Some opponents even feel that rent control causes homelessness. Advocates of rent control and rent stabilization see it as a way to ensure the availability of affordable rental housing for low and middle-income urban dwellers. Rent control advocates contend ? there was already a housing shortage and that rent-control laws were enacted to keep landlords from taking advantage of the situation by ?gouging? tenants? (Sowell, 1999). Many rent control proponents feel that the abolishment of rent controls would result in increased homelessness. "

Abstract
This paper examines Adam Smith's classical economic theory and John Maynard Keynes' macroeconomics theory. The paper explains how they differ and how they both influenced modern economic theory.
From the Paper
"Keynesian economics emerged primarily during the Depression era when it was found that classical theories of macroeconomics were no longer serving the policymakers. Economists who had previously stayed loyal to the classical model suddenly found themselves at a loss as their theories failed to explain the persistent depression of 1930s. Classical theories of macroeconomics were mainly concerned with the behavior of the markets. They were grounded in the assumption that people always behaved rationally and thus if markets were left to function on their own without any intervention from governments, it would start behaving perfectly in due course of time. The only intervention made by the government should be in the area of removing interventions. It was an interesting concept as classical economists saw limited role of government in running of markets and felt that government should only try to remove imperfections from markets in order to let them function according to natural and rational laws. Classical model came into being with Adam Smith's Magnus opus An Enquiry into the Nature and Causes of Wealth of Nations (1776)."

A Global Economic Theory, 2006.
This paper provides a theoretical literature review of Michael Porter's "Competitive Advantage of Nations."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that in 1990, Michael E. Porter introduced his treatise on global economic inter-connectivity in "The Competitive Advantage of Nations." Porter's work focuses not merely on the laws of supply and demand, as has traditionally been the core premise of most economic theories, but instead attributes economic successes and failures to strategic positioning. This paper critiques Porter's theories.
From the Paper
"Countries and organizations that take advantage of opportunities and maintain their core strengths tend to succeed, while countries and organizations that succumb to threats and their internal weaknesses tend to fail. This theory of strategies positioning was developed by Porter after quantitative and qualitative analysis in which he assessed the outcomes of decisions made by four industries and ten countries."

From the Paper
"Microeconomics is the study of economic behavior. Microeconomics focuses on what factors affect individual economic choices and how changes in these factors alter these individual economic choices. Macroeconomics considers the combined effect of individual choices on the overall performance of the economy as reflected by such measures as the nation's price level, total production, and level of employment. Macroeconomics deals with a country's overall economy including the country's input and output. It also includes the GNP (Gross National Product), which is the total value of goods and services produced in an economy in a certain period of time, usually a year."

Factors of Production
Five Capitals Model
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The first recognized factor of production is land. For the purpose of classification in factors of production land is defined as everything in the universe that was not created by man. While it does include the surface of the earth it also includes many other elements. If it is a natural resource it is called land for the purpose of factors of production. This includes air, forests, minerals, earth, water and sunlight. While in other discussions these elements would be divided and classified differently for the purpose of factors in production they are all included in the term "land"."

Abstract
The essay explains two theories for the worsening position of third world countries: Underdevelopment Theory and Economic Liberalism, which blames the external world economy and the social and political systems of the third world countries themselves, respectively. The essay then turns to VS Naipaul's novel and shows that the author implies support for the position of Economic Liberalism.
From the Paper
"The general philosophy of Underdevelopment is that the international economy operates systematically to sustain underdevelopment and distort the economies of the less developed economies. [Greene, F p 142] and that this system is detrimental to the poorer economies. The book does not support this position. The nation described, newly independent, was experiencing it?s own economic woes directly related to internal issues ?there were other traders, other foreigners; some of them had been there right through the troubles. The peace held?. [p. 10]"

Abstract
This paper examines the Public Choice Theory and deadweight loss as they apply to Indian economic history.
From the Paper
"India's economic history has been a case study for economists of the Public Choice Theory school. The maxim held by all free market economists is that people are motivated mainly be their self-interests. Although people often do act based on their concern for other people the basic motive behind a person's actions is typically a concern for their own self. Public Choice theorists take this self interest and ascribe it to the people in power. Public Choice economists believe that people acting in the political marketplace are ..."

This research reviews literature relevant to the issue of cultural local heritage versus globalization interest. The literature review is intended to support an epistemological study.."

2,340 words (approx. 9.4 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Matthew Rabin?s model of fairness is based on Geanakoplos, Pearce and Stacchetti's (1989) notion of ?psychological game?, in which payoffs depend on actions and on beliefs about actions. The paper describes how Rabin?s model shows how fairness expectations lead to different results than standard theory and demonstrates some general implications of fairness on game theory and economics. This paper contains a short description of Rabin?s model, gives some examples, propositions, proofs and critique.
From the Paper
"Suppose that (a1,a2) is a mutual-max outcome. Then both f1 and f2 must be nonnegative, thus reflect a positive regard for each other.
If each player chooses a strategy which maximizes both his own material well-being and the well-being of the other player this must maximize his own utility. In a case of mutual min outcome the f1 and f2 is non positive, thus, f~j(bj,ci)[1+fi(a1,bj)] is non negative. If each player is choosing a strategy which maximizes his own material well-being , this must maximize his utility."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how neoclassical economics provides an evaluation of current economic situations as they relate to elements within society. Neoclassical economics is a form of macroeconomics that allows for an evaluation of these elements that may include pricing employment spending consumption and the value of money. The paper further discusses how neoclassical economists as more capable of realizing the shift in the economy over time they can then produce resolutions to issues that may be affecting the problems that are related to the current economic condition. Neoclassical economics also focuses on the individual and his or her relationship to the economy.
