The demographic representation in the judge should be similar to their representation in the population. The term used to describe this is descriptive representation. This means that the lowest level of representation as a judge in the federal courts has the smallest demographic group in the population.

<span>The most recent study was done on June 1, 2017, and all information is from that date. There are 673 US District court judgeships and four territorial ones. At the time of this study, there were 160 active circuit court judges and 19 vacant positions, while there were 570 district court judges and a whopping 103 vacant positions. There are 59 female circuit court judges, 37%. Men, therefore, are in 63% of positions. Intesretingly, this number has actually improved, with only one woman serving in 1977. Disregarding race, 75% of circuit court judges are white, 13% African American, 9% Hispanic, and only 3% Asian American. 12 courts have African American judges, nine have Hispanic, and five have Asian American. Overall, all three percentages have risen since 1977 (with some variability), but interestingly, Asian Americans have only recently begun to rise in presence., starting in about 2010. Combining gender and race, white men make up 45.6% of all circuit court judges, while Asian American women only make up 0.6%. In all races, men overpower women in numbers by a large amount. Looking at age, the average is 64.7 years old, with over 50% over 65 and only 2% under 45. The vast majority were appointed between 45 and 54, though many came slightly before or after. It is worth noting that the first openly gay circuit court judge was Todd M. Hughes, appointed by Obama in 2013. If we are considering race, Asian Americans are the lowest represented. If we are considering gender, women are less represented. Overall in race and gender, Asian American women are least represented. Looking at age, people under 40 are underrepresented. Overall, though, the least common demographic would be open members of the LGBT+ community. As you can see, this is not a straightforward question! It is a hugely interesting topic and one I plan to explore further.</span>

Suppose monetary neutrality holds and velocity is constant. A 5 percent increase in the money supply increases the price level b
Alex73 [517]

Answer:  Increases the price level by 5 percent

Explanation:

Monetary Neutrality is a theory in Economics that posits that when there is a change in money supply in an economy, the only variables affected are the nominal ones like price level and wages and Real variables like GDP and employment are not affected.

It holds that when there is an increase in money supply, there is an equivalent increase in Price level as well because the value of money has fallen by the rate of the monetary increase. The Price level rising at the same rate is to compensate.

A 5 percent increase in the money supply will therefore increase the price level by 5 percent.

Answer:

This is a case of monopoly market condition where there is a single firm operating the whole market. The price of the products is set by the single firm and the buyers in this market are price taker. The monopolist can earn normal profit, losses and abnormal profit in the short run and can earn normal profit and abnormal profit in the long run.

In our case, the price of diamonds is high because there is only single firm in the whole market and there is no other competitors in the market. That's why they are charging the higher prices.
