Robyn Mathews AS Economic

Robyn Mathews AS Economics

Discuss the extent to which economic growth may benefit an economy.

7)Economic growth will benefit an economy to an extent. Economic growth will result in an increase in the output of goods and services, raise tax revenue, may lower unemployment and so reduce government spending on unemployment related benefits.

However economic gwoth may not benefit an economy as there may be disadvantages of economic growth including an opportunity cost in the short run, pollution, depletion of non-renewable resources and stress the consequences of economic growth will depend on the nature of the growth, how it is achieved and how the benefits are distributed.

The effects of economic growth will be influenced by the type of extra products produced. For example, if more consumer goods and services are made, living standards will rise now. If more capital goods are made, it may take a little while for living standards to increase. If more weapons are made, people may not feel better off  For living standards to rise, real GDP has to increase by more than population, so real GDP per head increases If income is unevenly distributed, only a small proportion of the population may benefit for economic growth. The more sustainable economic growth is, the more beneficial it is likely to be.

Avoiding depleting non-renewable resources and pollution, is more likely to enable economic growth to continue for future generations. Outcome will depend on the nature of economic growth i.e. whether it is short or long run.  Economic growth resulting from a shift of the aggregate demand curve to the right may be associated with inflation whilst potential economic growth resulting from a shift to the right of the aggregate supply curve may reduce inflationary pressure Economic growth caused by shifts of both the AD and AS curves will last for longer than economic growth resulting from just a shift in one curve.

 Economic growth may have both costs and benefits for economic growth to be beneficial the benefits must outweigh the costs. As economic growth is a macro economic objective for most governments this suggests most countries regard economic growth as beneficial.c

comparision tarentino and Spike Lee

Spike Lee is an American director currently aged 58.Throughout his career he has been credited in the development of 61 different animations from the year 1977. In 2006 he produced inside man, a thrilling drama about a group of four bank robbers. Furthermore in 2008 he also produced Miracle at st’ Anna which was an action drama set it the second world war from the British perspective against Germany.  The budget for both of these two films was $45,000,000. Thus insinuating that the production company allowed Spike Lee to access the same amount of money as he felt this was a successful amount for Inside man. Also because the films had the same budget it demonstrates that two action thrillers can run off the same amount of money. This is interesting because Miracle at St’ Anna used an increasing amount special affects in contrast to Inside man. Inside man has star power with the featuring of Denzil Washington this makes the film noticeable and recognizable by audiences who have seen others of Denzil’s film. On the other hand Miracle at St’ Anna has no recognizable faces.

         In the opening weekend Inside man received $68,827 and then moved on to receive a gross pay of $88,504,640. This film was greatly successfully and exceeded the budget by approximately $43,000,000. The production company must have been astonished by the income this film had received which lead to them granting Spike with a further $45,000,000 budget. However Miracle at St’ Anna made a $3,477,996 opening weekend and a total gross of $7,916,887 which is a loss of approximately $34,000,000. This may have been because of the absence of a well know actor such Densil Washington. This means           that the advertising and Marketing of these film wasn’t as successful as Inside man.

 Quentin Tarantino is also an American director currently aged 52. He has been credited in the 23 animations from the year 1983 onwards. In 2003 he produced Kill Bill an action film which follows the revenge of a man slaughtered bride. Later he came to the production of inglorious bastards (2009) which is a war time film following the alternate perspective of Hitler and the SS from a Jewish perspective. The budget of Kill Bill was $30,000,000 and Inglorious bastards was $70,000,000. Kill Bills budget was greatly less than Inglorious bastards this may have been because Tarantino’s success may have increased in the tomes difference of the production of the two films. The production company may have had more faith in Tarantino due to previous successes of his later films and allowed him more money.

 

In the opening weekend Kill Bill made $1,667,853 and a gross of $70,098,138 in comparison to Inglorious Bastards, which made £3,596,415 opening weekend and $120,523,073 gross, pay. Both films made a large sum of money however the later film made significantly more. This may have been because Tarantino has now been recognized by the public in the film industry through successes of his previous films such as Kill bill, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir dogs.
