Where can I find information about Anglo Saxon England schools, government, economy, and life style?
The Anglo-Saxon era lasted from 5th century AD to the Norman conquest of 1066. During that time period the economy, government and life style changed dramatically. There were no schools during that time period as we would think of them.
Where can I find information on the{ social life,economy,political,inventi鈥?of indians?
Indians of the great plains|||I'm so sorry no one gave you any good answers about the plains Indians. Der! Your project is probably way past due but here is some:

Simon Ortiz- Or Indians in American History by Hoxie. Or Bury my Heart at wounded knee by Dee Brown(that one is sad and hard to read but good!!).
Do a search on books. Best to get really good historical books.
Enjoy anyways!|||run a google search

Good Luck|||The World Fact Book on line has a lot of very useful information.|||There is some free, basic country information available on the Internet. One good site is the U.S. Department of State's "Background Notes" site:
http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2030.ht鈥?/a>
The CIA World FactBook is also pretty useful. It's updated annually:
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications鈥?/a>
There are some reference books available in some libraries that have even more in-depth data on countries. One such title we have here in the U.S. is the Europa World Year Book. It comes out every year and is like the CIA World Factbook on steroids. Another similar print encyclopedia is the WorldMark Encyclopedia of the Nations.
You can use the WorldCat database to see if a library near you owns either of these:

Finding GDP of an economy given certain information?
This is the exact problem I was given. I'm stuck!
Here are some data for an economy. Find its GDP. Explain your calculation.
Government purchases of goods and services 360
Compensation of employees 210
Exports 28
Interest and Dividend income 23
Business fixed investment 70
Imports 40
Beginning-of-year inventory stocks 90
End-of-year inventory stocks 97
Private Consumption Expenditures 720
Household saving 25
Household taxes 150|||Expenditure approach:
GDP = Y = C+I+G+Ex-Im = 720+(97-90+70)+360 +28-40 = 1145
Rest of elements are required for another type of calculations (income method, personal income, etc..)

From where can i get information on the three sectors of economy?
An economic sector is a certain type of business activity within an economy. Economics is part of the social structure of a society and is concerned with how people produce and consume goods and services. What types of goods and services are produced and consumed in a society depend on geography and social customs. The three major economic sectors are: primary, secondary and tertiary.
The primary economic sector includes obtaining and refining raw materials such as wood, steel and coal. Primary economic sector workers include loggers, steelworkers and coalminers. All types of natural resources industries such as fishing, farming, forestry and mining are a part of the primary economic sector.
The secondary economic sector deals with the processing of raw materials into finished goods. Builders and potters are examples of secondary economic sector workers. Lumber from trees is made into homes and clay from the earth is made into pottery. Brewing, engineering and all types of processing plants are part of the secondary economic sector.
The tertiary economic sector has to do with services to businesses and consumers. Dry cleaners, real estate agents and loan officers fall into the category of tertiary economic sector workers. Transportation, banking, tourism and retail stores are all part of the tertiary economic sector.
The movement of goods and services through the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors is referred to as the "chain of production." For example, trees are sourced to make paper, then the pulp is processed to create the paper and then the finished product is sold in stores. Some people consider government and education to be solely part of the tertiary sector, while others add the quaternary economic sector and the quinary economic sector to the three main sectors.
The quaternary economic sector is said to be that of intellectual organization in a society such as government, research, cultural programs, Information Technology (IT), education and libraries. The quinary sector is thought to be related to the quaternary sector, but includes only the senior management levels. Top management in non-profit organizations, media, arts, culture, higher education and science and technology.

Information flows in an economy?
Do you think the rate at which information flows in an economy has an effect on its business cycle? Does anyone know of any articles or books on this topic.|||YES! Its called globalization. A great book on this is called The Lexus and the Olive Tree by Thomas Friedman
Here's a sampling from the book:
Brazilian mining company's chairman on the fall of the berlin wall:
" You realize the berlin wall fell here too. it wasn't just a local event in Europe. It was a global event. It fell on Brazil. The big changes to Brazilian economy happened at exactly the same time that the berlin wall fell."
with the physical wall falling there were also other walls crumbling down as well. "and it is the fall of those walls all over the world that made this era of globalization possible" "What blew away these walls were three fundamental changes- changes in how we communicate, how we invest and how we learn about the world. The first: the "democratization of technology..is what is enabling more and more people with more and more computers, modems, cell phones, etc to reach farther and farther into more and more countries, faster and faster, deeper and deeper, cheaper and cheaper than ever before in history." "The democrat'ztn of techn'lgy is the result of several innovations that came together in the 1980's involving computerization, telecommunications, miniaturization, compression technology and digitization. " "This democratization of technology 'globalizes production'"
What this democrat'zn of techn'lgy means is that the potential for wealth creation becomes geographically dispersed, giving all kinds of previously disconnected people the chance to access and apply knowledge"
- the book is filled with so much great information, I highly suggest it. I hope this helped you.|||There really isn't any such thing as the business cycle. That's a myth propagated by economists. What people think of as the business cycle is merely the wealthy playing games with each other.

Where can i find information on Nunavut's Economy?
Statistics Canada might be a good place to start, and the government of Nunavut site is another source of information. Nunavut does not have a lot of industry - mining would be the greatest source of income, with tourism, particularly as it relates to travel to the Northwest Passage and the North Pole another source. Nunavut is a federally funded territory.

I'm in a college, and i find many things i learn from books very hard to understand. That said, i regularly endeavor to find other explanations online. I know there are numerous sites offering a myriad of information about economy, but none are well systematized as wikipedia.
If you don't think wiki is a reliable source for economic studies, could you point out to any other (well systematized) web sites that i could use? Thanks very much.|||One of my lecturers would frown at this :) Wikipedia is pot luck since it can be edited by anyone. Generally I find the information to almost always be mostly correct.
However it should only be used as a quick refresh for a previously studied topic. When you study economic literature you not only get accurate information/data/theories etc.... most importantly you learn other things as well that you never set out to learn. This helps create a broad spectrum of knowledge, not only confined to study subjects. This is killer knowledge in exams.|||A lot of professors don't like Wikipedia because it can be edited. Overall it's extremely reliable especially on well known topics and when errors do occur they get corrected quickly. More importantly when bias is in question, wikipedia even notates this and provides alternate arguments and entries if it is really strong.
Look, I study economics and use wikipedia often and it does an excellent job explaining difficult to understand concepts. The truth is, I would trust wikipedia over many other sites. Keep in mind that anyone can put anything on their web page and yes you shouldn't rely on wikipedia alone. Also, you will get a very bad look from your professor if you quote wikipedia, but remember, wikipedia cites their primary sources, so you could just go to the primary source and cite that.
Also, once you have read the topic in wikipedia, you can go back to your textbook and it should be easier to understand.|||Wikipedia is fairly reliable, just don't cite it in a paper. Another good site is: http://www.econlib.org/library/CEECatego鈥?/a> they have a lot of well written, easy to understand articles on a wide variety subjects.|||Its somewhat reliable, but not always accurate.

As for reducing unemployment, during the great depression the us goverment hired teams of people. The first team would break the streets and the second would pave them.

Where can I find more information about how China owns the US economy?
check the labels you can read them for place of manufacture. Most USA debt is to itself but a substantial segment is to various countries and China looms large on the list.|||IDK but I want info on why we are still importing all the poison, deadly, and inferior stuff from them. Seems like they must own our economy.|||China does not own our economy so i don't think you can find any true information.|||Go shopping, to any store (except a food store), e.g. Kohls, Sears, any sporting goods store... And find ONE item made in the USA. Count how many items say "made in china" on the back. They were all made with 7 yuan/1US Dolllar. They destroyed US manufacturing, sector by sector, by subsidizing on top of the ridiculous currency manipulation. Tell me they don't control the USA, you'd have a tough time finding a reason.|||They don't own the economy. They own treasury bills but that is because they are pegging the Yuan to the U.S. dollar. Not going to explain that but that is just how that operation works.
Micheal Lobo... The reason you can't find MADE IN AMERICA any more is the sheer price it costs to manufacture something here. Would you buy something that said MADE IN AMERICA if it was 25% more then a product made else where?
If you said yes that means you would pay $625 for something you could actually buy for $500. I think I'll buy the $500 and save the $125 for something else. Logic is what I call that.
Unions are one of the problems with driving manufacturing out of the U.S.

Insider information in stock trading. how is this harmful to the economy?
well how is using illegal information harmful to the economy|||It is cheating. The market assumes fairness.
I would be less likely to want to invest if I knew that others knew things I didn't know and could cheat me out of money because of that.|||Let us say I have a choice of buying stock in Exxon Oil or China Petroleum %26amp; Chemical Corp. (SNP). I know the executives of Exxon have to publicly report information and can't use insider information to sell or buy before I have an equal chance to be aware of the news.
With China Chemical I don't know. So I could buy it at $80 per share. In a week I sell it at $100 per share, thinking I am doing well. How pissed will I be when I learn the executives bought it at $100 per share knowing the company had fould new reserves worth $150 per share?
Will I invest in China again? Will that make the economy is China better or worse?|||Think of a poker player that can see everyone's cards although you just see the back of everyones cards. Remember....stocks show ownership and you are illegally playing against other owners. Also, if insider trading is discovered in a company, no so much economy, that can harm the credit.

Is Gerald Celente a reliable source of information for the economy and politics?
I watched this video with him on youtube because I saw it on the front page under news and politics. Tell me what you think...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-emVKUs7N-I
-link is correct just isn't clickable, gotta copy and paste|||He's a "trend forecaster." Essentially he makes predictions based on economics and historical precedent, applies the known events of the past to current conditions and makes educated predictions on what likely trends will be.
His track record is ok - certainly better than any political hack or Keynesian Economist. He predicted the 1987 stock market crash, the fall of the USSR, and the Asian currency crisis of the late 1990s. In 2007, he predicted the financial meltdown with some significant degree of accuracy. Although, he assumed more of the larger companies would have been allowed to follow the bankruptcy route rather than the bailouts. As the government and Fed run out of weapons to attack the crisis, they still could with far worse repercussions than would have occurred had they just gone bankrupt without completely bankrupting the local, state, and federal governments. Had they followed what he predicted, we would be in better shape today than we are.
In December 2007 Celente wrote, "Failing banks, busted brokerages, toppled corporate giants, bankrupt cities, states in default, foreign creditors cashing out of US securities ... whatever the spark, the stage is set for panic in the streets" and "Just as the Twin Towers collapsed from the top down, so too will the U.S. economy ... when the giant firms fall, they鈥檒l crush the man on the street." He has also predicted tax revolts. In November 2008 Celente predicted economic depression, tax rebellions and food riots in the United States by 2012.
In April 2009 Celente wrote, "Wall Street controls our financial lives; the media manipulates our minds. These systems cannot be changed from within. There is no alternative. Without a revolution, these institutions will bankrupt the country, keep fighting failed wars, start new ones, and hold us in perpetual intellectual subjugation." He criticized the U.S. stimulus plan of 2009, calling government controlled capitalism "fascism" and saying shopping malls in the U.S. would become "ghost malls." Celente has said, "smaller communities, the smaller groups, the smaller states, the more self-sustaining communities, will 'weather the crisis in style' as big cities and hypertrophic suburbias descend into misery and conflict," and forecasts "a downsizing of America."
In none of his "predictions" is he saying that the US can't recover. He's saying that we've got a very tough road ahead because of the policies pursued by the last 2 administrations and the likely economic effects that logically flow from the current conditions.
I wouldn't take his predictions any more seriously than you'd take Nouriel Roubini or Peter Schiff. At the same time, Celente doesn't hold back on his opinions. Dismissing him as an "idiot" ignores his track record. He is hyperbolic and seems crazy at times, but some of what he says has some truth to it and is worth weighing against the "popular consensus."

Who is your most trusted source of information and analysis on the economy?
None of them, you really have to get in the weeds to even begin to get the truth !|||Dean Baker, who correctly predicted the collapse of the Housing Bubble in 2004:
Co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, Baker said today: "Just as he allowed a stock bubble to inflate to dangerous proportions in the late nineties, Alan Greenspan has allowed, and arguably promoted, the development of a housing bubble in the last four years. For the first time in the post-war period, home prices have substantially outpaced the overall rate of inflation, creating nearly $4 trillion in bubble wealth. While the collapse of this bubble will almost certainly lead to a recession, the problem is only made worse by delaying the inevitable. Mr. Greenspan should have the courage to follow the example of Mervyn King, the head of the Central Bank of England, and make a clear and unambiguous warning about the dangers of a housing bubble." 6/30/2004

He was either in, or next to, the driver's seat for the last seven years. Bernanke was a member of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve since the summer of 2002. He served a six-month stint as head of President Bush's council of economic advisors beginning in the summer of 2005 and then went back to chair the Fed in January of 2006.|||I'm all over the map with no clear direction: WSJ, IBD, NY Times, Washington Post, CNN Money, CNBC, Economist, Bloomberg, etc...

What does the cost of information have to do with microeconomics?
The U. S. is moving from an industrial economy to a information economy, so what are the costs associated with an information society?|||You're not asking so much for the "cost of information" as you are for the cost of developing new skills in the workforce. The cost of information would be relevant to a question having to do with the issue of incomplete information and how information about the market is acquired by companies and individuals.
As for the costs of transformation to an information economy, they are many and the consequences are varied and bring up additional costs themselves. The most immediate cost would involve retraining old workers and educating new workers for non-industrial jobs. Of course, the removal of industrial production capabilities in the economy creates its own costs--companies who relied on local producers may find themselves paying more to import products, even if it is cheaper for the producing company to build the products overseas. There are further attendant costs to that, even, but this should give you an overview of the situation.|||This is a wrong-headed question.
1. The U.S. is NOT moving from an industrial economy to an information economy because it hasn't been an industrial economy. The U.S. has been primarily a service economy for decades.
2. The term "information economy" doesn't replace "industrial" or "service" it suffuses them. Both the production of goods and the production of services have to make more and better use of information to survive.
3. There is a cost to the information itself, but relatively speaking, it is negligible. As the other answer noted, making use of it effectively is expensive because it involves change: people have to learn, processes have to be changed, equipment (computers, communication equipment, etc.) has to be purchased and installed, and much older equipment depreciated as obsolete.
4. Then there is the macro-economic cost to the move to an information economy. One example is the growth of the financial industry.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/17/opinio鈥?/a>
5. Independent of all that is the role of information in micro-economics. Classical economic theory talks about perfect markets with perfect information.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_com鈥?/a>
That clearly doesn't exist and never will. But only recently have we seen economics theories that begin to deal with information assymetries.

What is an industry-based economy ? what is service- or information-based economy?

Where is the evidence that lower taxes stimulates the economy?
Historically we've had much higher taxes, especially in the '50s and '60s, and our economy was growing at a faster rate then than it is now. We raised taxes in the '90s and it grew faster than in the '80s, when we cut taxes.
I know the information economy has something to do with it, but IT was possible because we had an overall strong economy.|||the theory is the more money people have that they aren't giving in taxes, the more they'll have to invest in the economy. but the tax laws are written in such a way that the rich are able to use loophole after loophole with the poor and middle class putting up the rest of the cash the rich would have normally paid.

How does Information and Communication Technology affect the Economy?
It allows the economy to grow by reducing the transaction costs. Transaction costs are the costs incurred for making any economic transaction. (eg, if you want to buy a printer, without internet, you would go from store to store, trying to find out the configuration, the problems, etc. You spend fuel and a lot of time on the search. With internet, you gather all this information from home and then go and pick the right one because you have the information that you need). As transaction costs reduce, more transactions can take place. More branches overseas can be easily managed and monitored. It becomes easier to globalize, to reach out to newer and far out markets. So the company thrives; with that the national economy thrives.

Information and Facts about Chinese economy?
I am doing a project of China's economy, and currently having difficulties.
I don't trust Wikipedia, and various other websites don't give me the right information and summary to help me understand China's economy|||I think the secret of China are stated in the followings.
1) Chinese workers are far better than those Hong Kongers, cheaper and better human assembling skills in production, in electronic products, garment manufacturing. And almost 95% total Hong Kong manufacturers are relocated to China in the past ten years.
2) The production workers are much cheaper than those Hong Kong workers. For instance, those production workers are happy to make less than 1,000 yuans a month in comparison of minimum HK $ 5,000 per month. It is measured at about three or four years ago which the exchange rate was HK dollar was slightly higher than the yuans. My uncle has made four millions dollars by running a knitting manufacturer for five consecutive years in 1980 in mainland. He immigrated to Canada about 1993 and paid cash for a single house and a high rise flat in Toronto.
3) China is the land of opportunity for investors. Unlike Hong Kong, the SAR (region for special administration) with high living standards, extra high land prices. My uncle bought the land in Dongguan and build a factory with less than $ 100k yuans and hired more than one hundred workers with monthly salary of average about 500 yauns per month. It was 80%-90% cheaper than HK by that time. My uncle was laughing to the banks every month and collected the profits he made in China. He was just take over his friend's failed knitting factory in Hong Kong and was in debt of HK $ 2 millions. He bought and whole factory's outdated machinery for less than HK $ 100k and hired two of their supervisors and paid them each of HK $10 k per month.
I think the reasons of why China is the best in production and earned the name of Factory of the World.
Hong Kong seems would go collapse in the next five years because the highest paid civil servants and top officials in this world, and the real estate prices are outrageous. Hong Kong is trying to enrich its government income laundering stock market investment to attract international investors to gamble in this international capital scams of stock shares and real estate transactions. China is doing okay now regardless the whole world is still in trouble, such US and Hong Kong are experiencing of the twin evil of stagflation of higher inflation and higher unemployment.

Can anyone explain the effects of information technology on indian economy?
information technology has had the effect of casting india in a very positive light.
it has given them the ability to employ many college graduates who might not have found work otherwise.
as a consequence of the new very positive view of india, many american companies have transferred thousand of jobs to india.
with all the investment and people earning good salaries, india is seen as a rapidly developing country on the treshold of becoming an industrial nation.
in this case perception is everything. one thing feeds on another and the ball is rolling.
one downside is the in some cases the poor and downtrodden in india has been steamrolled.
land is being summarily taken from many poor people and given to large corporation to build factories, steel mills and industrial parks, without compensation. its like a cruel joke on the poor. this is especially troubling in 2007. you would think companies making millions or billions each year would pay at least the market value for lands needed and taken.
unfortunately there is no time or compassion for the poor.
on the other hand,
many americans have been impacted as they have lost their job to a person in india making one tenth the salary an american might make.
in the long run, our economy will suffer. at some point, we might find ourselves in a position where we might be black mailed. can you imagine if they should ever decide not to provide needed software for something essential.
ibm has taken a little different position the people coding for ibm are their employees. in most of the other cases, the us company contracts with and indian company to do, for want of a better term, piece work.
i suspect it will come to pass where we, americans will be hurt by relying on an a foreign country for essential computer services.
this is all a part of globalization that is today, touted as the way to go. however, for the most part, its just a case of large companies abusing workers under the guise of free trade.

Where can i get detaled information on the economy of bahamas?
I need detailed information about:
Toourism
Crime
Economics
Opportunities for Investments|||The Bahamas is a stable, developing nation with an economy heavily dependent on tourism and offshore banking. Steady growth in tourism receipts and a boom in construction of new hotels, resorts, and residences had led to solid GDP growth in recent years, but the slowdown in the US economy and the attacks of 11 September 2001 held back growth in these sectors in 2001-03. Financial services constitute the second-most important sector of the Bahamian economy, accounting for about 15% of GDP. However, since December 2000, when the government enacted new regulations on the financial sector, many international businesses have left The Bahamas. Manufacturing and agriculture together contribute approximately a tenth of GDP and show little growth, despite government incentives aimed at those sectors. Overall growth prospects in the short run rest heavily on the fortunes of the tourism sector, which depends on growth in the US, the source of more than 80% of the visitors. In addition to tourism and banking, the government supports the development of a "third pillar", e-commerce.
Basic Ingredients of the Bahamian Economy
The Bahamian economy is almost entirely dependent on tourism and financial services to generate foreign exchange earnings. Tourism alone provides an estimated 60% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employs about half the Bahamian work force. In 2004, over 5 million tourists visited The Bahamas, most of whom are from the United States.
A major contribution to the recent growth in the overall Bahamian economy is Kerzner International's Atlantis Resort and Casino, which took over the former Paradise Island Resort and has provided a much needed boost to the economy. In addition, the opening of Breezes Super Club and Sandals Resort also aided this turnaround. The Bahamian Government also has adopted a proactive approach to courting foreign investors and has conducted major investment missions to the Far East, Europe, Latin America, and Canada. The primary purpose of the trips was to restore the reputation of The Bahamas in these markets.
Financial services constitute the second-most important sector of the Bahamian economy, accounting for up to 15% of GDP, due to the country's status as a tax haven and offshore banking center. As of December 1998, the government had licensed 418 banks and trust companies in The Bahamas. The Bahamas promulgated the International Business Companies (IBC) Act in January 1990 to enhance the country's status as a leading financial center. The act served to simplify and reduce the cost of incorporating offshore companies in The Bahamas. Within 9 years, more than 84,000 IBC-type companies had been established. In February 1991, the government also legalized the establishment of Asset Protection Trusts in The Bahamas. In December 2000, partly as a response to appearing the plenary FATF Blacklist, the government enacted a legislative package to better regulate the financial sector, including creation of a Financial Intelligence Unit and enforcement of "know-your-customer" rules. Other initiatives include the enactment of the Foundations Act in 2004 and the planned introduction of legislation to regulate Private Trust Companies.
Agriculture and fisheries industry together account for 5% of GDP. The Bahamas exports lobster and some fish but does not raise these items commercially. There is no largescale agriculture, and most agricultural products are consumed domestically. The Bahamas imports more than $250 million in foodstuffs per year, representing about 80% of its food consumption. The government aims to expand food production to reduce imports and generate foreign exchange. It actively seeks foreign investment aimed at increasing agricultural exports, particularly specialty food items. The government officially lists beef and pork production and processing, fruits and nuts, dairy production, winter vegetables, and mariculture (shrimp farming) as the areas in which it wishes to encourage foreign investment.
The Bahamian Government maintains the value of the Bahamian dollar on a par with the U.S. dollar. The Bahamas is a beneficiary of the U.S.-Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA), Canada's CARIBCAN program, and the European Union's Lome IV Agreement. Although the Bahamas participates in the political aspects of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), it has not entered into joint economic initiatives with other Caribbean states.
The Bahamas has a few notable industrial firms: the Freeport pharmaceutical firm, PFC Bahamas (formerly Syntex), which recently streamlined its production and was purchased by the Swiss pharmaceutical firm Roche; the BORCO oil facility, also in Freeport, which transships oil in the region; the Commonwealth Brewery in Nassau, which produces Heineken, Guinness, and Kalik beers; and Bacardi Corp., which distills rum in Nassau for shipment to the U.S. and European markets. Other industries include sun-dried sea salt in Great Inagua, a wet dock facility in Freeport for repair of cruise ships, and mining of aragonite--a type of limestone with several industrial uses-- from the sea floor at Ocean Cay.
The Hawksbill Creek Agreement established a duty-free zone in Freeport, The Bahamas' second-largest city, with a nearby industrial park to encourage foreign industrial investment. The Hong Kong-based firm, Hutchison Whampoa, has opened a container port in Freeport. The Bahamian Parliament approved legislation in 1993 that extended most Freeport tax and duty exemptions through 2054.
The Bahamas is largely an import, service economy. There are about 110 U.S.-affiliated businesses operating in The Bahamas, and most are associated with tourism and banking. With few domestic resources and little industry, The Bahamas imports nearly all its food and manufactured goods from the United States. American goods and services tend to be favored by Bahamians due to cultural similarities and heavy exposure to American advertising.
Business Environment
The Bahamas offers attractive features to the potential investor: a stable democratic environment, relief from personal and corporate income taxes, timely repatriation of corporate profits, proximity to the U.S. with extensive air and telecommunications links, and a good pool of skilled professional workers. The Government of The Bahamas welcomes foreign investment in tourism and banking and has declared an interest in agricultural and industrial investments to generate local employment, particularly in white-collar or skilled jobs. Despite its interest in foreign investment to diversify the economy, the Bahamian Government responds to local concerns about foreign competition and tends to protect Bahamian business and labor interests. As a result of domestic resistance to foreign investment and high labor costs, growth can stagnate in sectors which the government wishes to diversify.
The country's infrastructure is best developed in the principal cities of Nassau and Freeport, where there are relatively good paved roads and international airports. Electricity is generally reliable, although many businesses have their own backup generators. In Nassau, there are two daily newspapers, three weeklies, and several international newspapers available for sale. There also are eight radio stations. Both Nassau and Freeport have a television station. Cable TV also is available locally and provides most American programs with some Canadian and European channels.
Areas of Opportunity
The best U.S. export opportunities remain in the traditional areas of foodstuffs and manufactured goods: vehicles and automobile parts; hotel, restaurant, and medical supplies; and computers and electronics. Bahamian tastes in consumer products roughly parallel those in the U.S. With approximately 85% of the population of primarily African descent, there is a large and growing market in the Bahamas for "ethnic" personal care products. Merchants in southern Florida have found it profitable to advertise in Bahamian publications. Most imports in this sector are subject to high but nondiscriminatory tariffs.

The Bahamas is a stable, developing nation with an economy heavily dependent on tourism and offshore banking. Tourism alone accounts for more than 60% of GDP and directly or indirectly employs half of the archipelago's labor force. Steady growth in tourism receipts and a boom in construction of new hotels, resorts, and residences had led to solid GDP growth in recent years, but the slowdown in the US economy and the attacks of 11 September 2001 held back growth in these sectors in 2001-03. Financial services constitute the second-most important sector of the Bahamian economy, accounting for about 15% of GDP. However, since December 2000, when the government enacted new regulations on the financial sector, many international businesses have left The Bahamas. Manufacturing and agriculture together contribute approximately a tenth of GDP and show little growth, despite government incentives aimed at those sectors. Overall growth prospects in the short run rest heavily on the fortunes of the tourism sector, which depends on growth in the US, the source of more than 80% of the visitors. In addition to tourism and banking, the government supports the development of a "third pillar," e-commerce.

The Bahamian economy is based primarily on tourism, which is concentrated mainly in Nassau and Grand Bahama. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, tourism and construction are largely responsible for a real GDP growth of about 4 percent annually since 1996. Another important economic sector is financial services, which places the Bahamas among the world's leading financial centers. After the impact from Hurricane Floyd, this sector was back to full strength in less than three working days and made a tremendous contribution to disaster relief efforts, both individually and through financial organizations.
Tourism alone accounts for more than 60% of GDP and directly or indirectly employs almost half of the archipelago's labor force.

Overall growth prospects in the short run rest heavily on the fortunes of the tourism sector, which depends on growth in the US, the source of the majority of tourist visitors.

Overall growth prospects in the short run rest heavily on the fortunes of the tourism sector, which depends on growth in the US, the source of more than 80% of the visitors. In addition to tourism and banking, the government supports the development of a "third pillar", e-commerce.
Basic Ingredients of the Bahamian Economy
The Bahamian economy is almost entirely dependent on tourism and financial services to generate foreign exchange earnings. Tourism alone provides an estimated 60% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employs about half the Bahamian work force. In 2004, over 5 million tourists visited The Bahamas, most of whom are from the United States.
A major contribution to the recent growth in the overall Bahamian economy is Kerzner International's Atlantis Resort and Casino, which took over the former Paradise Island Resort and has provided a much needed boost to the economy. In addition, the opening of Breezes Super Club and Sandals Resort also aided this turnaround. The Bahamian Government also has adopted a proactive approach to courting foreign investors and has conducted major investment missions to the Far East, Europe, Latin America, and Canada. The primary purpose of the trips was to restore the reputation of The Bahamas in these markets.
Financial services constitute the second-most important sector of the Bahamian economy, accounting for up to 15% of GDP, due to the country's status as a tax haven and offshore banking center. As of December 1998, the government had licensed 418 banks and trust companies in The Bahamas. The Bahamas promulgated the International Business Companies (IBC) Act in January 1990 to enhance the country's status as a leading financial center. The act served to simplify and reduce the cost of incorporating offshore companies in The Bahamas. Within 9 years, more than 84,000 IBC-type companies had been established. In February 1991, the government also legalized the establishment of Asset Protection Trusts in The Bahamas. In December 2000, partly as a response to appearing the plenary FATF Blacklist, the government enacted a legislative package to better regulate the financial sector, including creation of a Financial Intelligence Unit and enforcement of "know-your-customer" rules. Other initiatives include the enactment of the Foundations Act in 2004 and the planned introduction of legislation to regulate Private Trust Companies.
Agriculture and fisheries industry together account for 5% of GDP. The Bahamas exports lobster and some fish but does not raise these items commercially. There is no largescale agriculture, and most agricultural products are consumed domestically. The Bahamas imports more than $250 million in foodstuffs per year, representing about 80% of its food consumption. The government aims to expand food production to reduce imports and generate foreign exchange. It actively seeks foreign investment aimed at increasing agricultural exports, particularly specialty food items. The government officially lists beef and pork production and processing, fruits and nuts, dairy production, winter vegetables, and mariculture (shrimp farming) as the areas in which it wishes to encourage foreign investment.
The Bahamian Government maintains the value of the Bahamian dollar on a par with the U.S. dollar. The Bahamas is a beneficiary of the U.S.-Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA), Canada's CARIBCAN program, and the European Union's Lome IV Agreement. Although the Bahamas participates in the political aspects of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), it has not entered into joint economic initiatives with other Caribbean states.
The Bahamas has a few notable industrial firms: the Freeport pharmaceutical firm, PFC Bahamas (formerly Syntex), which recently streamlined its production and was purchased by the Swiss pharmaceutical firm Roche; the BORCO oil facility, also in Freeport, which transships oil in the region; the Commonwealth Brewery in Nassau, which produces Heineken, Guinness, and Kalik beers; and Bacardi Corp., which distills rum in Nassau for shipment to the U.S. and European markets. Other industries include sun-dried sea salt in Great Inagua, a wet dock facility in Freeport for repair of cruise ships, and mining of aragonite--a type of limestone with several industrial uses-- from the sea floor at Ocean Cay.
The Hawksbill Creek Agreement established a duty-free zone in Freeport, The Bahamas' second-largest city, with a nearby industrial park to encourage foreign industrial investment. The Hong Kong-based firm, Hutchison Whampoa, has opened a container port in Freeport.

But everyone has a different point of view and I don't know what is the truth, and I don't know where to begin searching information. If someone could tell me a right place to begin I would be grateful.|||The right place is logic my friend. These aren't rhetorics, but true facts.

How does the CPI reveal information about the economy and inflation?
The CPI (Consumer Price Index) measures the prices of a range of goods (called a "basket") against the prices of the same goods in the past. When prices rise over a period of time, we get a percentage increase in the CPI which is how inflation is determined. So the CPI tells us if an economy is overheating (if prices are rising to quickly) or under-performing (where prices are barely rising or even falling which denotes deflation). These conditions can occur when an economy endures over-utilisation of resources or an unemployment gap, respectively. Adjustments in the money supply which affect prices can be taken into account when using the CPI as an indicator of economic growth.|||the CPI tells you nothing about the economy. It tells you whether prices are rising (which is generally the result of an inflation in the money supply).|||if the current cpi is higher than the old cpi, then there's inflation

I need information about how oil affects canadas economy. Does any1 have any info on this? if any1 does, please post it, thx|||Well, for 2 to 10 points, I can say that Canada is a net oil producer/exporter, which is to say that while they import oil, they export more. A nice, simple summary is from the (gasp!) CIA factbook, which is not a secret, just the basic summary that U.S. government officials use as a basic information yardstick. Canada, in 2005, produced oil at a rate of 3.09 million barrels a day, and consumed oil at a rate of some 2.29 million barrels a day. Canada imported (2004) at a rate of some 1.18 million barrels a day, while exported (2004) at a rate of 2.27 million barrels a day. A 2006 estimate of proven reserves is about 178 billion barrels, which includes the oil sands, or tar sands as some call them. Let's see, 178 billion barrels in reserve divided by 3 million barrels per day is some 59 thousand days, or around 162 years of oil at the current rates. I know it isn't quite that simple, but you get the drift.

How does the information age, that we're living-in, affect the old economy theories of supply and demand?
I believe that on this information age the supply and demand theory of economy can no longer be accepted because information plays a tremendous role on how the supply and demand is controlled. Any thougths?|||The underlying laws of supply and demand aren't changed, but one of the assumptions underlying the functioning of free markets, that is, the assumption of perfect information, becomes closer to reality.
But what did you mean by "how the supply and demand is controlled"? This concept of "control" of supply and demand runs contrary to the idea that total supply and demand emerge from the aggregate behavior of countless individual decisions, and is therefore not subject to control.
But maybe you're getting at something else. What do you mean?|||While the traditional market paradigm may have been altered by emerging technology, the rules of supply and dermand can never change. All that has changed are the means of delivery and manufacture, and as you point out the availability of information. I don't disagree this has far-reaching effects, but it cannot affect the underlying, critical drivers of all economic theory!|||It simply makes the workings of supply and demand more efficient. In the past, forecasting supply and demand was pure art, as a result shortages and over-stocks were a routine cost of doing business. But the information age has dramatically smoothed out the process resulting in hugely more accurate forecasting.
But, to your point, the information age introduces a new commodity - information itself. This is yet to be treated as such in my opinion. It seems the that few business models are based on the supply and demand of information. We look at it as a cost to be controlled rather than a critical resource that needs to be bought and paid for. Arbitragers know this and take full advantage.|||Information has always played an important role.

Lot of sites are there and unable catch the news. Any body guide sites to collect the above information.|||Indian economy to grow 8.6% in 2011, per capita income to rise 17.3%
The Indian economy is projected to grow by 8.6 per cent in 2010-11, the fastest in three years, on the back of a sharp recovery in farm output, but high inflation remains an area of concern.
A growing economy would help the country's annual per capita income expand by 17.3 per cent to Rs54,527 at current prices and by 6.7 per cent to Rs36,003 at 2004-05 prices, according to the advance estimates of national income released today.
Per capita income is calculated by evenly dividing the national income among the country's population.
Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee and the Reserve Bank are however, concerned about high inflation, particularly of food articles.
"All along I was maintaining, it should be around 8.5% plus. 8.6% is accepted," finance minister Pranab Mukherjee said adding, "Now the other issue is inflation, trade balance... these are to be addressed."
In December, general inflation was 8.43% and food inflation for the week ended January 22 stood at 17.05%.
Abundant rains in the last monsoon season would help agriculture and allied activities to expand by 5.4% in 2010-11 compared to just 0.4% in the previous financial year.
Weathering the global slowdown, the Indian economy managed to expand by 8% in 2009-10 and 6.8% in 2008-09.
Expected to grow by a shade better than 8.5% projected by both RBI and the finance ministry, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would expand to Rs48.80 lakh crore in 2010-11 at the constant prices (with a base of 2004-05).
The 8.6%GDP growth prospects, however could not cheer markets. The BSE benchmark Sensex closed almost flat at 18037.19 on concerns of inflation and rising interest rates.
While services such as trade, hotel, transport and communications improved to 11% from 9.7%, the manufacturing remains static at 8.8% year on year.
Mining and quarrying is likely to grow by 6.2%, compared to 6.9% a year ago, while electricity, gas and water production will grow up by 5.1%, as against 6.4% in the previous fiscal.
The chief economic adviser in the finance ministry Kaushik Basu said the "target of 9% economic expansion for the next financial year is well with in the reach."

Why doesn't Michigan use a great resource like The University of Michigan to build an information economy?

University of Michigan is consistently rated as one of the best, so why don't we use it?

The state is desperate, and worse off than any other state. I agree we have to put more emphasis on industries other than the auto but there is no easy way out right now. The poor Governor can't get anything done because the last one left things so bad and the state senate are conservative. To make things worse the mayor of Detroit is one of the worst and is only hurting the state.|||While I fully understand your reasoning, I believe it just wouldn't be practical to try and build a more stable economy for the state based on one central place of business.

If you look at other places around the country, their University district of the city may have much of this sort of thing- Med people, IT people, but their economy outside the U-district isn't based upon the educational sector. Retail and food even plays a part. Michigan needs to figure something out to increase the potential to keep their higher ed students in the state and increasing these areas. It also needs to figure out a way to increase jobs in other areas or provide better education for those who have been laid off due to the car industry, or other factory industries that have left the state.
