How Cost-push inflaction can result in a recession?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost-push_inflation Exaggerated Example: Lets say the US had no oil at all. Then suddenly and rapidly (rapidly is the key like 3-6 months) the cost of oil went from $40/barrel to $4000/barrel. Because it happened so fast, the market could not come up with a better alternative. Businesses that rely on oil for operating or personal people rely on oil to get from point A to point B can't do so at a reasonable cost. Typically Cost-push inflation will not happen because companies and governments are smart. If the cost goes too high, it will impact quantity and most importantly accelerates the development of alternative technologies that ultimately compete and reduce the cost for everyone. I think the oil companies saw this with $4.00 gas. Suddenly everyone wanted a battery powered car and those technologies got a huge influx in cash. Given gas at $6 or $8/gallon, other options would eventually catch up and compete.

This is applicable to the parents and guardians. Mercy Olo Anyekemah Edo state, Nigeria.
What is the best way to invest 15000 dollars for one year?
To be fair, the best way to invest $15,000 dollars for one year depends on one's risk profile. If one cannot lose money during the year, generally no transacton-fee, stable, short-term income-producing products are the most appropriate. Some of these products include the following: * Short-term TIPS (Treasury Inflaction Protected Securities, provide principal protection against inflation that may reduce the buying power of the principal; value of TIPS may go down in a deflationary environment) * CDs (interest is not always that great, but the principal is protected) * High-yield money market funds (interest is usually higher than short-term CDs; however, there is a slight risk to the principal - generally the risk is considered moot) * Short-term municipal bonds (from municipalities with A+ credit ratings; these products are good for investors in higher tax brackets looking to earn incremental tax-free income; these are riskier that HYMMs, but produce more income; there may be transaction fees to buy and sell these products) If one's risk profile is higher and the chance that some (or all) of the money may be lost is acceptable, some products that may be worthwhile include the following: * ETFs (exchange traded funds; generally the least expensive way to expose a portfolio to market risks and rewards; there will be transaction and maintenance fees for these products) * No Load Mutual Funds (professionally managed funds with low or no loads to purchase, maintain or sell shares; select diversified NLMFs; there may be transaction fees to purchase the products - going direct to the fund manager cuts out those fees) Buying stocks, commodities, etc. on an individual basis expose the average investor to more risk than diversified funds and create transaction cost "friction" that may eat any future returns.

As a student of management what are the factors responsible for inflation and how would you look at the problem of inflation while collecting data and analyzing trends over the last five years?
== == As a disclaimer, the following paragraph is not supported by most economists. Most economists would suggest that the Federal Reserve might have helped it along but was far from actually causing inflation. Also, the question relates to how a student of management would look at the problem of inflation, not the causes of inflation.Inflation in the United States is a result of money management policies instituted by the Federal Reserve. This was obvious to the opponents of the Federal Reserve in the 1913 Congress. The Federal Reserve Act was passed in a rush session of Congress just before they left on Christmans break, December 13, 1913. Representative Guernsey of Maine, a Republican on the House Banking and Currency Committee, said "This is an inflation bill, the only question being the extent of the inflation." In:http://wiki.answers.com/Q/FAQ/1786 Demand side factors: 1- Increase in nominal money supply: Increase in nominal money supply without corresponding increase in output increases the aggregate demand. The higher the money supply the higher will be the inflation. 2- Increase in disposable income: When the disposable income of the people increases, their demand for goods and services also increases. 3- Expansion of Credit: When there's expansion in credit beyond the safe limits, it creates increase in money supply, which causes the increased demand for goods and services in the economy. This phenomenon is also known as 'credit-induced inflation'. 4- Deficit Financing Policy: Deficit financing raises aggregate demand in relation to the aggregate supply. This phenomenon is known as 'deficit financing-induced inflation'. 5- Black money spending: People having black money spend money lavishly, which increases the demand un-necessarily, while supply remains unchanged and prices go up. 6- Repayment of Public Debts: When government repays the internal debts it increases the money supply which pushes the aggregate demand. 7- Expansion of the Private Sector: Private sector comes with huge capitals and creates employment opportunities, resulting in increased income which furthers the increase in demand for goods and services. 8- Increasing Public Expenditures: Non developmental expenditures of government lead to raise aggregate demand which results as increased demand for factors of production and then increased prices. Supply side factors 1- Shortage of factors of production or inputs: Shortage of factors of production, i.e. raw material, labour capital etc causes the reduced production, which causes the increase in prices. 2- Industrial Disputes: When industrial disputes come to happen, i.e. trade unions resort strikes or employers decide lock outs etc the industrial production reduces. And as a short supply of goods in the market the prices go up. 3- Natural Calamities: Natural disasters, invasions, diseases etc effect the agricultural production, and shortage of supply which furthers the rise in prices. 4- Artificial Scarcities: Hoarders, black marketers and speculators etc create artificial shortage to earn more profits by keeping the prices high. (in Pakistan bird flu dilemma and sugar crises are the major examples in this regard) 5- Increase in exports (excess exports): When the country has tends to earn maximum foreign exchange and exports more and more without considering the domestic use of the commodities, it creates a shortage of commodities at home which increases the prices. (With reference to Pakistan, the failure of export bonus scheme during 1950's is the most common example of this type of cause of inflation) 6- Global factors: This factor includes the changing global environment. Most common example is the rise in oil prices. This factor of inflation may vary in nature, i.e. it can be political, strategic, economic or logistic in nature. 7- Neglecting the production of consumer goods: When the production of consumer goods is neglected with reference to the increased production of luxuries, it also creates inflation. For example in Pakistan, in last couple of years our services sector has grown with the highest rate of 8.8% (mainly telecom sector), while basic necessities have been ignored which created increase in the prices of consumer goods. 8- Application of law of diminishing returns: this law applies when the industries use old machines and methods and, which increase in cost by increasing the scale of production. This furthers the increase in prices and hence inflation bursts out.
