Explain the purpose of montary policy.

 

[mattchan]

Monetary policy which involves influencing the cost and supply of money has the primary objective of achieving price stability in the Australian economy. Once this has achieved, other goals such as low unemployment and economic growth can be targetted.

Question

What impact does the World Trade Organisation have on the Australian economy?

WTO promotes trade liberalisation, through FTA's. Taking over from GATT in 1991(?) they also act as a mechanism for dispute resolution. Recently, Australia has been invloved in the Doha round, faciliated by the WTO to reduce the impact of agricultural subsidies.

Question

Define the term internation convergence (1)

Discuss the role that TNC's play in globalisation

 

[*Ya_So_CuTe*]

international convergence refers to the increasing similarites between economic conditions of countries which leads to similarities in economic performance and living standards. This is often referred to as a negative aspect of globalisation i na cultural sense , as globalisation has seen TNC's spread popular culture with the emergence of Mcdonalds, Coca- cola etc. Also international convergence has meant that there is greater volatility on the financial market as all changes in the international business cycle are syncronished.

TNC's play an important role as they are essentially the facilitators or ' driving force' of globalistion. They have developed the importance of internationalism in business and have led innovation to dominate market share in various and diverse sectors all over the world. okay.. don't know what else to put there...increase in financial flows???! Bloody eco being on the last day. I agree with everyone's sympathathies.

Anyway here's another q!

Q. What does internalising the externalities mean?

 

[sunjet]

Making it so the businesses have to pay for the externalities so it becomes a cost of production, thus they will consider the environment more, such as a levy or tax on petrol etc.
