Typically, the government refers to a civil government which can be either local, national, or international. However, commercial, academic, religious, or other formal organizations are also governed by internal bodies. Such bodies may be called boards of directors, managers, or governors or they may be known as the administration (as in schools) or councils of elders (as in churches). Growth of an organization increases the complexity of its government, therefore small towns or small-to-medium privately-operated enterprises will have few officials compared to larger organizations such as multinational corporations which will have multiple interlocking, hierarchical layers of administration and governance. As complexity increases and the nature of governance becomes more complicated,so does the need for formal policies and procedures. Public sector governance is studied as Public Administration while that in the private sector is studied as Business Administration. The concept of government has been around since humanity itself where hunter-gatherers would commonly establish tribes high authority and have unique ideals. However, government is not limited to the human species itself as many animals establish groups such as ants, lions, and bees. Although, a common trait of animals, specifically mammals and colony insects are a social caste that may work in a governmental way. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License 10 points, Why do people think the government adopted a laissez faire policy during the Great Depression? Q. Many people think the free market caused the depression and that governments let this happen. Government intervention prolonged the depression. Both Hoover and Roosevelt tried everything, taxes, tariffs, price fixing, you name it. The free market is not to be feared, government is. Asked by libertyandprosperity - Sat Jun 27 00:26:08 2009 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. Do you know what laisse faire means? Your statement makes no sense. There was no laissez faire policy in the Great Depression - at least not after Roosevelt. Hoover intervened somewhat, but not enough. Government intervention didnt prolong the depression.. the economy was climbing back until Roosevelt decided to go fiscallly conservative and cut the deficit in '37, As a result of the regulations and controls of the market (SEC, banking), we havent had another depression or panic since. And panics in the lassiez faire period happened every ten years or so. Only after we got lax on regulation did this one happen. Tells you something, no?

Calculate the GDP gap if in an economy the unemployment rate is 9.5%, MPC = .9, and the Full employment GDP = $10,800. Calculate the regular expenditure multiplier and the net tax multiplier. How much money should the government spend in government expenditures to eliminate this gap? Asked by tiPtRaN - Thu Jan 17 02:17:16 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The regular expenditure multiplier (assuming a closed economy and lump sum taxes) is: 1/(1-MPC) ==> 10 The tax multiplier (again assuming a closed economy and lump sum taxes): -MPC/(1-MPC) ==> -.9/.1 = -9 As for the gap, according to Okun's law, unemployment will be 1% point above the natural rate for every 3% that output is below potential output. I can't tell from the question what the to assume for the unemployment rate at full employment. To keep things simple I'll use the Beveridge estimate of 3% structural unemployment. If you're using the NAIRU, you would choose 0%. Therefore, 9.5% unemployment is 6.5% above the potential rate. This imples a 19.5% gap between full employment GDP and actual GDP. The gap is therefore .195 x… [cont.] Answered by Anon_204 - Sun Jan 20 02:37:34 2008 How hard is government contract work overseas?
