1) One might maintain that weapons market is characterized by monopolistic competition. Is that correct? In particular is this true for all types of weapons? elaborate on this trying to provide evidence based on data.
2) There is a dominant evidence on the role of human capital in economic development. Anyway, within an economy there could be some associated factors that could either undermine or valorize it. Elaborate on this.
3) It seems that after 2008 a process of de-industrialization is taking place in some regions of the world. Why? Which countries in Europe are exhibiting such trend? Would trade regionalism prevent countries from de- industrialization?
4) Is the WTO dispute resolution system effective in spite of the lack of enforcement? Why? Please analyze in depth the functioning of the dispute resolution system in the WTO system. Produce some examples from real cases. Please find also aggregate data on the use of this instrument and try to highlight – if possible – a trend.
5). Is there any overlapping of these two aspects? Is there any evidence in current globalization? Please elaborate on this and highlight in particular whether the diffusion of digital media has to be considered a substantial shock in this respect.
Assignment 2
Impact of Military Life
How do you prepare a child for deployments, for relocations, or for adjustments to military life, in general? How do you support a child whose father or mother has been injured in combat and whose life has changed dramatically since the parent deployed? Statistically, military children are resilient, amenable, and flexible (Blaisure, Saathoff-Wells, Pereira, Wadsworth, & Dombro, 2012). They withstand a great deal of change and uncertainty. These children may ask: Will my parent return from combat? Why does my parent have to miss my graduation? Why do I have to attend another school?
Parents performing military duty may miss many events that children typically expect parents to attend. Military life can have dramatic positive and negative effects on children. Helping children understand the role of their loved one in the military and providing support is crucial to help children adjust effectively.
If you are interested in working with military personnel and their families, you need to understand the most effective strategies for supporting military children in dealing with some of the most difficult aspects of military life.
