James IB Economics Blog. Sunday, April 08, 2007. Why Do We Neglect Lesiure and Cheer for Divorce? How would you explain to a noneconomist CIA director what GDP can and cannot tell the CIA about countries around the world? Prostitution, gambling, and some types of drug use are legal in some countries and illegal in others. What implication does this have for international GDP comparisons? What other issues might cloud such comparisons? In which year did Armstrong make the largest contribution to GDP?

Welker's Wikinomics: Response to Marco's bashing of the Coase Theorem
http://welkerswikinomics.blogspot.com/2007/03/response-to-marco-bashing-of-coase.html
A resource for AP and IB Economics students at Shanghai American School. Tuesday, March 6, 2007. Response to Marcos bashing of the Coase Theorem. Marco's IB Economics Blog: The Coase Theorem Is The Low Point Of Economic Study. In the above post, Marco bashes the Coase Theorem. As a means of externality reduction pretty badly.

Wednesday, March 7, 2007. 1 Explain how the reference to “repeat offenders” in the news story highlights the issue of market failure. The “repeat offenders,” as referred to in the news article, are firms who continuously pollute the environment to a severe degree. These firms pollute more than they are supposed to, mainly because they are over producing the goods. This is essentially what causes the market failure. In addition, with its stringent waste management program, the Environment Agency has decre...
