What are dead weight losses, and what are their causes?

Project description
Respond to the following prompts:
One of the problems in a competitive market environment is deadweight losses. Respond to the following prompts on this topic and support your answers with examples and references:
oWhat are deadweight losses, and what are their causes?
oWhat are the market effects of a deadweight loss?
oWhat are the major factors that determine who will bear the burden of a tax or the incidence of a tax?
oIf the government uses taxation to deal with a situation, how would the various elasticities of supply and demand affect the deadweight loss of that tax? Explain using examples.
oIf the government proposes the use of cap and tax programs to deal with deadweight losses, how would they work? Explain using examples to illustrate your point.
oWhat are the pros and cons of such a program? Assess them.
Adam Smith, usually referred to as the father of economics, expounded the theory of free markets and opposed any form of concentration of economic power. He believed that any authority establishing a price that provided a fair price to the providers of the factors of production would distort the market’s natural ability to determine prices and output levels. In general, he believed that competitive markets would allocate resources to their highest and best use. However, in recent times, we have seen the market mechanism fail and allocate too many or too few resources to the consumption or production of some goods and services.
oWhat are some of the reasons for this failure?
oHas government intervention into competitive markets changed the efficiency of these markets? Why or why not?
oWas Smith correct or incorrect in his theories concerning the efficiency of the markets in allocation of resources? Support your answers with examples and references.
Justify your choices with valid assumptions and logically driven arguments. Cite any sources using APA format.

What was the exercise brief, what did you think the purpose of the exercise was?

Title: Reflective journal.
the individual student will reflect back on the activities conducted in class as follows:
*try to mention at least 2 of the following:*
Kims game
Marshmallow challenge
Belbin teams role ( linked this to your role within the groups formed for the various exercises)
Personality assessment
Strengths and weakness
Work turn on and offs
*you can say that I’m the one who gave the idea for the marshmallow challenge and I convinced the group to do it and we were the 1st group to finish with one of the highest marshmallow*

A little about me that should help you with this:
I’m a Student from Kuwait who came to study in Ireland. I was studying electrical engineering but I didn’t like it so I changed my major to study film as photography was my hobby. I like it in Ireland but I miss my home and my family.

Some points you may want to consider whilst writing your reflection (these points are guidelines only)

What was the exercise brief (did I understand the instructions if not, why didn’t I?) what did you think the purpose of the exercise was?
How did I preform in the team, was my Belbin assessment correct (what do you mean here – do you mean does the student agree with the assessment? )Am I actually a team player, am I a leader or follower, did I sit back and let others do the work
What did I learn about myself during this exercise? What do I need to change and what’s my plan to do so
How will what I learnt change my behaviour in the future. Previous experience can predict future behaviour.

[Pin It]

You are a counselor for a major metropolitan police force. Your job is to interview persons who are referred to you by superiors, who voluntarily come to you for counseling, or who, because of a specific incident, are mandated by departmental regulations to seek your counsel. On the last four callouts over the past 6 weeks, three of them have resulted in the offender being shot to death by your unit’s sniper. You are scheduled to speak with him this week about his feelings concerning the shootings. You received a call from his wife the night before last. It seems that the sniper has taken to sleeping in the living room and not in his bedroom. His wife has been unable to convince him to sleep in bed with her for the past month. He claims that he has headaches and goes to sleep on the couch. After the last mission in which he had to shoot a suspect, the team went to a local bar that they patronize. The sniper reportedly got drunk and, while hugging another member of the team, he started crying about the three men that he had to shoot over the past six weeks. The next day, he acted like the crying incident did not happen. He either forgot it in the alcohol haze, or pretended not to remember it.

In a callout last night, the sniper and his partner took up a position at the rear of a house where home invaders were barricaded. At one point, an offender exited the back door with a gun in his hand. The sniper stood up in the open and walked right up to the offender, who was dazed at the sniper’s behavior. The sniper struck the weapon from the offender’s hand with the butt of his rifle, and then knocked him to the ground, where he placed him in handcuffs. Although it initially seemed to be a brave act, it violated all protocol to break cover, and it risked the sniper, his partner, and the offender’s life.

You have a decision to make at this point. In a 3–5 page paper, respond to the following:

Describe the mental state of the sniper since the three shootings have occurred in which he killed the offenders.
Articulate two of the possible personality disorders or afflictions that the sniper has that are interfering with his work.
Explain whether, if the sniper would get the treatment needed, he might be able to return to his duties as a sniper, or possibly back to regular uniformed duties.
Relate how treatment of the sniper would benefit him as an individual in terms of his interpersonal relationships and his own safety.

Based upon frequency how often does your diet come from producers and how often from consumers?

The goal of this assignment is to relate the concepts of trophic levels with energy and biomass pyramids to your own life. Compile a list of every food item you consume in one day- breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and beverages. After creating the list of food consumed, label each item as either from a producer, a primary consumer (e. g. cow), or secondary or higher consumer (e. g. fish). If the food item contains both producers and consumers, note both and guess approximately how much of each is consumed. Also label each item describing the trophic level (1, 2, 3, 4). Include your labeled list in your paper. Look at your results and discuss the following issues:

Based upon frequency how often does your diet come from producers and how often from consumers? Trophic levels also correspond to energy levels in an ecosystem. Answer both of the following questions. When considering energy issues in a biomass pyramid of an ecosystem, if you ate more producers, would this increase or decrease the percentage of the biomass pyramid necessary to support your survival? Discuss why. Also, if you ate more food from consumers, would this increase or decrease the percentage of the biomass pyramid necessary to support your survival? Explain why. Cite all of your references. Please remember to type your name on the paper. Post your essay to the Dropbox in D2L. The paper is due Sunday at midnight, central time. (Note: This paper does not have a minimum length but future ones may. If this requirement pertains it will be included in the assignment for that paper).
