This document provides an overview of a macroeconomics lecture that discusses key concepts including scarcity, choices, incentives, tradeoffs, and comparative advantage. It notes that the class will require 3 hours of in-class time and 6 hours of homework per week. Examples are given around the iPhone supply chain to illustrate global cooperation in manufacturing. Questions are posed throughout to encourage critical thinking around economic principles.
Here are the steps:
1. Exchange $600 for KRW at rate of 1 to 1,176 = KRW 705,600
2. Buy cell phone in Korea for KRW 600,000
3. Ship phone to US for $5
4. Sell phone in US for $600
5. Exchange KRW 105,600 back to dollars at rate of 1 to 1,176 = $90
6. Profit = $600 - $605 = $95
7. Percent profit = (Profit/Cost) x 100 = (95/605) x 100 = 15.7%
So you should buy the cell phone in Korea, ship to US and sell. You will make $95

Tran Quoc Bao: Championing Vietnam as Southeast Asia's Emerging Healthcare an...Ignite Capital
油
Forbes: Dr. Tran Quoc Bao, Chief Planning and Marketing Officer of City International Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, is leading the charge in promoting Vietnam as an emerging hub for healthcare and medical tourism. At the Southeast Asian Hospital Expansion Summit 2019, he shared insights on Vietnams healthcare growth and its rising prominence in Southeast Asias medical tourism sector. With an annual growth rate of 18-20%, Vietnam's medical sector attracts over 80,000 foreign patients, generating more than $1 billion in income.
Vietnams strategic location in Southeast Asia, coupled with its political stability, makes it an attractive and safe destination for medical tourists. As Dr. Bao emphasized, the country offers high-quality, affordable healthcare services that stand out in comparison to neighboring countries. However, he acknowledged that there are challenges in increasing awareness of Vietnam's healthcare offerings among foreign patients, especially given the low number of internationally-accredited hospitals.
To overcome these hurdles, Dr. Bao proposed several strategies. He advocates for a nationwide campaign targeting foreign medical tourists and leveraging digital innovation and social media to increase visibility. Additionally, he stressed the importance of Vietnamese hospitals achieving international accreditation, such as Joint Commission International (JCI), to build trust and credibility.
Dr. Bao also calls for increased regional cooperation through events and networking with healthcare associations in Southeast Asia, fostering stronger relationships and collaboration across borders. His vision includes a regional co-patient management system that can facilitate cross-border transfers for patients seeking treatments in multiple countries.
Vietnam is rapidly becoming one of the most attractive destinations in Southeast Asia for medical tourism, joining other established hubs like Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. The Southeast Asia Hospital Expansion Summit served as a unique platform for financers to invest in the healthcare sector, focusing on smart hospitals, digitalization, and technological advancements that promise to improve access to quality healthcare.
As a leading international hospital in Vietnam, City International Hospital stands at the forefront of this healthcare revolution. With Dr. Tran Quoc Baos leadership, the hospital continues to pave the way for Vietnams growing presence on the global medical tourism map, providing top-notch care and establishing the country as a key player in the global healthcare arena.

How to Perform a Cost-Benefit Analysis A Simple Step-by-Step Guide.pptxTfin Career
油
A cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is essential for anyone making business decisions, managing projects, or creating policies. It helps you evaluate how much something will cost versus the benefits you expect to gain so you can make smarter, more informed choices.
This guide will show you how to quickly conduct a cost-benefit analysis, considering an investment, a new project, or a policy change.
What is a Cost-Benefit Analysis?
A cost-benefit analysis compares a decision's costs with its benefits to determine whether the benefits are worth the costs. This process is helpful when resources are limited, and you want to make sure you are making the best decision for the future.
Example: Imagine your company is thinking about buying new software. A cost-benefit analysis would compare the price of the software to the benefits, like more productivity, lower labor costs, or better customer service. If the benefits are higher than the costs, the investment makes sense.
Step 1: Identify and List All Costs
Sometime recently, you can calculate the benefits, you are required to list all the costs included. These are coordinated or backhanded, short-term or long-term. Begin by composing down each conceivable cost.
Direct Costs: These are easy to identify because they're directly tied to the project, such as buying equipment or paying for materials.
Indirect Costs: These are secondary expenses, like administrative costs or the time needed for training.
Recurring Costs: These are ongoing costs, like maintenance or subscription fees.
Opportunity Costs: Consider what you're missing out on by choosing this option instead of another.
Example: In the software case, direct costs include the price of the software and the cost of installation and training. Indirect costs could be employees' time learning how to use the new software.
Step 2: Identify and List All Benefits
Now that you've listed all the costs, you must consider the benefits. These can be tangible (easy to measure) or intangible (more challenging but still meaningful).
Tangible Benefits: These are measurable in financial terms, like increased revenue or cost savings.
Intangible Benefits: These might be improved employee morale or customer satisfaction.
Example: The computer program might bring significant benefits, like higher productivity or diminished labor costs. Intangible benefits include ways to improve group resolve or progress client advantage.
Step 3: Quantify Costs and Benefits
Once you've identified the costs and benefits, the next step is to assign a dollar amount to each one. Some benefits, especially intangibles, may be hard to quantify, but giving them a realistic value is essential. Base your estimates on reliable data, like industry standards or expert advice.
Example: If the software costs $10,000 to purchase and $1,000 per year for maintenance, and it's expected to save $15,000 annually in labor costs, the return on investment is easily visible.

We study the effects of gender board diversity on firm performance. We use novel and rich firm-level data covering over seven million private and public firms spanning the years 1995-2020 in Europe. We augment a standard TFP estimation with a shift-share instrument for gender board diversity. We find that increasing the share of women in the boardroom is conducive to better economic performance. The results prove robust in a variety of subsamples, and to a variety of sensitivity analyses. This outcome is driven primarily by firms from the service sector. The positive impact was stronger during the more recent years of our sample that is a period with relatively more board diversity.
