For each of the scenarios, please decide whether there will be an increase or decrease in short-run aggregate supply or if there

will be no change.
1. Changes in the healthcare market cause employers to pay significantly more for health insurance they provide employees.
2. The price of lumber, a commodity, rises drastically due to the effect of heavy winter weather in the American Northwest, where much of the world's lumber is grown.
3. The production of a new type of blade for their combine harvesters, a tractor used to harvest crops, has allowed wheat farmers, like Herbert, to increase productivity by 40%.

Answer:

1) short-run aggregate supply decreases

2) short-run aggregate supply decreases

3) short-run aggregate supply increases

Explanation:

An increase in the cost of employer provided health insurance means that firms are paying more for each unit of labor they employ. This is an increase in nominal wages (even if employees don't see this increase in their paychecks!). The result is that is it more expensive to produce so short-run aggregate supply will decrease or shift to the left. Similarly, the bad weather in the Northwest will reduce the availability of lumber and increase the price, making lumber more expensive at any amount. Because lumber is used extensively as an input into the production function, this too will result in a decrease in short-run aggregate supply.

In comparison, a rise in productivity will result in an increase in short-run aggregate supply. Because of the new technology, it now becomes cheaper for Herbert, and the other farmers like him, to produce at any quantity, and so they increase production. Such a shift occurs over the entire economy and will shift the short-run aggregate supply curve to the right.

Do you agree with Thomas Jefferson’s belief that building the Erie Canal was “little short of madness” for the time? Why or why
Blababa [14]

Thomas Jefferson’ comments on Eerie canal highlighted that he felt that it was impossible to complete such a huge project.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson who was a visionary and fore runners of the US Constitution had once commented that the construction of Eerie canal was a plan which is ‘little short of madness’. This reflected that he was totally not confident about the completion of the project and felt it to be impossible.  

He felt it’s impossible because he had observed George Washington who is the fellow- Virginian also failed to complete the project of building a canal in the Potomac River. It was a canal that was successfully built for more than three hundred miles and all the credit was given to the New York governor Dewitt Clinton.

He initially faced criticisms and many felt it is the ditch which he made for himself for his own political downfall but times changed and the construction was carried on successfully.

Why did the United States support France in Vietnam?
nata0808 [166]
Initially, U.S. supported decolonization or the removal of Vietnam as a colony. However, they wanted France as an ally in its Cold War effort to contain the Soviet Union (now Russia). President Truman wanted to make sure that there was a strong, anticommunist Western Europe. Thus, he sacrificed his own belief of decolonization. To guarantee French aid in the Cold War, Truman supported France's efforts to regain control over Vietnam. Between 1950 and 1954, the U.S. contributed 2.6 billion dollars to France's war efforts.

<span>When President Eisenhower took office, he continued Truman's policies toward Vietnam. He believed in the domino theory, that if Vietnam became a communist country, all other countries in Southeast Asia would follow.</span>

Bingel [31]

The Rorschach test is "not very reliable and has limited validity".

The Rorschach test is a mental test in which subjects ‘perceptions of inkblots are recorded and afterward dissected utilizing psychological understanding, complex calculations, or both. A few clinicians utilize this test to look at a man's identity attributes and passionate working. It has been utilized to distinguish thought disorder, particularly in situations where patients are hesitant to portray their reasoning procedures transparently.
