Write a short essay (1 page max if you write on each line where a page of a standard answer book has 38 lines or 2 pages max if you write on every second line) to discuss the management of fisheries in New Zealand from pre-colonial times to after the arrival of European settlers. Make sure that you address the following points:
Explain why, in the absence of mechanisms to prevent it, fisheries are prone to being over-fished.
Explain how fisheries were managed in New Zealand prior to the arrival of European settlers. Connect your answer to Ostrom’s work that discusses the conditions for an effective management for such a resource.
What was the impact of the arrival of Europeans on fisheries and the management of NZ fisheries? (Hint: Discuss how and why the conditions that you identified broke down after the Europeans arrived.)

Consider how health insurance affects the quantity of healthcare services performed. Suppose that the typical medical procedure has a cost of $100, yet a person with health insurance pays only $20 out of pocket. Her insurance company pays the remaining $80. (The insurance company recoups the $80 through premiums, but the premium a person pays does not depend on how many procedures that person chooses to undertake.)
Draw the demand curve in the market for medical care. (In your diagram, the horizontal axis should represent the number of medical procedures.) Show the quantity of procedures demanded if each procedure has a price of $100.
On your diagram, show the quantity of procedures demanded if consumers pay only $20 per procedure. If the cost of each procedure to society is truly $100, and if individuals have health insurance as described above, will the number of procedures performed maximize total surplus? Explain.
Economists often blame the health insurance system for excessive use of medical care. Given your analysis, why might the use of care be viewed as “excessive”? What sort of policies might prevent this excessive use?

Within the Discussion Board area, write 200 – 300 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.Marginal revenue (MR) is the additional revenue for each additional unit produced. Marginal cost (MC) is the additional cost for each additional unit produced. For example, if you have produced 100 units, the marginal cost would be how much it would cost to produce the 101st unit. Likewise, the revenue earned by selling the 101st unit would be the marginal revenue.Understanding marginal revenue and marginal cost can make a difference in a business’s decision to continue production at the current level, produce more, or produce less. This relationship is vital to leadership and managers because it helps inform a producer about a product’s equilibrium and can act as a guide to profit maximization.This week, discuss the following:Think about a personal experience where you have considered the revenue of an additional unit produced versus the cost of producing it. How do you think this might affect the decision making process? Discuss an example.
We have learned that there is a Goldilocks area where a company should produce a product to the point where MR = MC. What does MR = MC mean, and why is it important for pricing and production? Give an example.
As a manager or leader, how would you apply this knowledge to make better production volume decisions?Discussion Board RubricExpectation Points Possible Points Earned Comments

Complete a 8-10 page research paper on the above topic. I have provided submitted proposal with feedback from the instructor, also the research presentation and graphs that I pulled from stated sources. feedback from the instructor: The presentation had minimal information on the current literature on the topic. For your paper I would recommend expanding the literature review to highlight what is known about military Keynesianism. The thesis is testable and the proposed cross section analysis provides the ability to test the hypothesis. For your comparison I would focus on technology, manufacturing, and services because both North Carolina and Virginia have seen growth in these areas. Early results look very promising. For your wages and income levels it would be great to be able to look at this data by the same sector you are identifying for the job growth comparisons.
