Import Tariffs, Quotas, and Restrictions
In this module, we have outlined government policy toward import tariffs (taxes on imported goods as they enter a country), quotas (a limit on the quantity of a good that can be produced abroad and sold domestically), and restrictions (limitations on the quantity of goods imported/exported to a specific country). Trade can allow countries to use their national resources more efficiently, and it can allow industries and workers to be more productive. Trade may even allow countries to achieve higher living standards, and keep the cost of many everyday products low. Government regulation of trade has had a significant impact not only on global trade flows, but also on economic growth and prosperity. For this reason, it is useful to consider the main ways that governments have tended to regulate trade and, more recently, to deregulate it.
For this discussion activity, respond to the following prompts:
- Research one item that is internationally traded and outline how this product flows from one country to the next.
- Are any tariffs, quotas, or restrictions on this product being traded?
- Has this product ever been under an embargo? If so, why?
- Is there a distinct government policy for this product’s trade?
- Please use in text citations when stating facts (i.e. Indonesia is the largest supplier of coconuts) Swalbe, (2010).
Assignment
Visualization as a process is part science and part art – you most likely have heard of “a picture is worth a thousand words”. The first steps in exploring data visually are intended to provide insight and understanding of the data for the analyst, which may or may not be followed by presentation of data visually to an audience.
Data visualization is as much a tool for the benefit of the analyst as the audience, though the visualizations would likely be tailored differently for each.
This assignment has 2 parts – all should be contained in one single post
PART I: After watching the video The Best Stats You’ve Ever Seen
Discuss your opinion on the following
which of the data visualizations was most powerful for you and why
how a powerful presentation of data could affect learning and understanding.
PART II: Find an example of a misleading statistical visualization – there’s unfortunately plenty online and in print. Post the link if it were found online or a screenshot of the hard copy/tv screen/etc, explain what you think the author hopes to convey, and why the visualization is misleading. This is NOT to search for the term “misleading visualization” and provide the link to the multitude of the search results available as examples. This could be found in an article you read, in one of your statements or mailings, etc.
Also think about and discuss some the following:
If/why you think the misleading visualization is a problem,
If you are able to find a visualization that tells a more accurate story,
if you think it Is it okay to exaggerate a visualization for effect,
Suggest at least two modifications that would improve the visualization,
What makes a good visualization.
