Land utilisation

  LAND UTILIZATION  Land is a scarce resource, whose supply is fixed for all practical purposes. At the same time, the demand for land for various competing purposes is continuously increasing with the increase in human population and economic growth.Land use pattern at any given time is determined by several factors including size of human and livestock population, the demand pattern, the technology in use, the cultural traditions, the location and capability of land, institutional factors like ownership pattern and rights scale regulation. Major Types of Land Utilization in India : As in all other countries, land in India is put to various uses. The utilization of land depends upon physical factors like topography, soil and climate as well as upon human factors such as the density of population, duration of occupation of the area,land tenure and technical levels of the people.There are spatial and temporal difference in land utilization due to the continued interplay of phys...

PRODUCER'S EQUILIBRIUM

PRODUCER'S EQUILIBRIUM
Meaning: Every firm aims at maximization of profits which can be possible only when the firms cost are minimum.Thus, the producers of firms aims at utilising the combination of factors of production at which it's cost are the least. Such combination is called as 'least cost combination'. It is that combination in which output is maximize at given cost. 
When the firm is producing desired output with the factor combination having the least cost ,it is said to be in equilibrium. It is stage where producer has no tendency either to expand or contract his output .

Producer's equilibrium can be explained in two ways :-
a) Marginal productivity analysis by neo -Classical economists.
b)Iso -producer analysis by modern economists.

Marginal product analysis
Ist case - Two factor case
Here, the firm uses two combination 

                   MPPl.          MPPk
                 _________. = _________
                       Pl.                 Pk

It explains that the last rupee spent on each of factor must be equal to each other .
In case ,if they are not equal ,suppose

                     MPPl.          MPPk
                  _________. >___________
                         Pl.                 Pk

More labour is used relative to capital ,since firm is getting greater physical return for its money from extra workers than from extra capital. However, the diminishing returns of labour will set in .Thus, MPPl will consequently fall. This will continue until they both will get to the equilibrium point.
This choice of technique is said to be most efficient and further changes cannot be made.It is the least cost way of combining the factors for any given output .
Efficiency in this sense of using the optimum factor proportion is known is productive efficiency.

2nd case - Multi-factor case
A firm will use many different factors ,the least - cost combination of factors will be when , 
    MPPa     MPPb.     MPPc.      MPPd
 _________=__________=__________=___________
     Pa.             Pb.             Pc.              Pd

If any inequality exists between the ratios,the form will be able to reduce costs by using more of factors which have high ratio until to the point they will become equal .

Role of capitalism

ROLE OF CAPITALISM IN DEVELOPING ECONOMY Capitalism is that part of the economics where there is no role of government agencies. The sole supe power of capitalism is in the hands of private owners. This means that if private is working on the behalf of government, instead of social welfare, their main objective is to have profits. Features Lack of intervention of government. Role of private firms. Role of price mechanisms. Advantages Encourages innovation Efficient firm incentives Consumers can choose services of their choice. Prevents government from interrupting. Creates climate of innovation and economic expansion. Helps in increasing GDP. Disadvantages Firms can gain monopoly power. Externalities damages the environment. Prone to boom and bust in the economic cycles. Inequality creates social division. Capitalist market crashes causes economic downturn , uneven business cycles. There is difficulty in mobilising unprofitable sector into profitable sectors. By taking advantage of poo...

Tokenization

Tokenization  Tokenization is the process of turning sensitive data into non-sensitive data called "tokens" that can be used in a database or internal system without bringing it into scope.  •It can be used to secure sensitive data by replacing the original data with an unrelated value of the same length and format.  •The tokens are then sent to an organization’s internal systems for use, and the original data is stored in a secure token vault. •The purpose of tokenization is to swap out sensitive data—typically payment card or bank account numbers—with a randomized number in the same format but with no intrinsic value of its own. •Tokenization is the process of removing sensitive data from your business systems by replacing it with an undecipherable token and storing the original data in a secure cloud data vault.  Token will be unique for a combination of card, token requestor (i.e. the entity which accepts request from the customer for tokenisation of a card and p...

Investment Multiplier

INVESTMENT MULTIPLIER The number of times by which the increase in ∆Y exceeds the increase in investment is called as Investment Multiplier.  Investment Multiplier or output multiplier refers to the number of times by which the increase in output/income ∆Y exceeds the increase in investment ∆I. It is measures as the ratio between change in output /income and change in investment.                                      k = ∆Y / ∆I Where k is the multiplier. Relationship between Multiplier and Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) There is direct relationship between Multiplier and MPC . Higher the value of MPC ,higher the multiplier .                   K =1 / 1- MpC This is because of the given reasons : a)Additional investment means additional expenditure in the economy, additional expenditure means additional income . b) Higher the value of MPC ,...
