    Merger between BA and Iberia tend to be horizontal integration. Horizontal integration occurs when a firm is being taken over by, or merged with, another firm which is in the same industry and in the same stage of production as the merged firm, e.g.BA and Iberia. In this case both the companies are in the same stage of production and also in the same industry (i.e. airlines industry). The goal of horizontal integration is to consolidate like companies and monopolize an industry. Besides, they can also gain Economic of Scale when doing such strategies. Put another way, they can reduce average cost of production in the long run. For example, according to extract 1, they may also have more buying power when it comes to negotiations to buy new planes from Boeing and Airbus.…

    Throughout On My First Sonne we are able to see that Jonson is trying to find the positive aspects of his son’s death and is looking at it in a positive way. Jonson would actually like to stop his emotions, to stop feeling like a father: “O, could I loose all father, now”, i.e. if only I could give up feeling this terrible grief for my son – but, of course, he cannot. If he could stop feeling like a father, then he might be able to see some faintly positive side to what has happened: his small son has escaped the “world’s, and fleshes rage” , i.e. the terrible passions and griefs we all experience, including, no doubt, the terrible pain that Ben Jonson now feels as a father. Jonson is urging himself to mourn in a selfless, unegoistic way. He senses that he may have had too much of his own pride invested in the little boy: now, terribly, the child just “lent” to him for a while by “fate”, has been “exacted” from him like a debt. He has had to pay him back to “fate” or heaven. This I unlike the “Manhunt” where the persona is remembering the negative aspects of the man…

    Pearson International 8th Edition.International Economics, (Problems Solving)

    B1. Question # 1 of Ch 2 (8th ed. of the textbook) Canada and Australia are (mainly) English-speaking countries with populations that are not too different in size (Canada’s is 60 percent larger). But Canadian trade is twice as large, relative to GDP, as Australia’s. Why should this be the case? We saw that not only is GDP important in explaining how much two countries trade, but also, distance is crucial. Given its remoteness, Australia faces relatively high costs of transporting imports and exports, thereby reducing the attractiveness of trade. Since Canada has a border with a large economy (the U.S.) and Australia is not near any other major economy, it makes sense that Canada would be more open and Australia more selfreliant. B2. Question # 2 of Ch 2 (8th ed. of the textbook) Mexico and Brazil have very different trading patterns. Mexico trades mainly with the United States, Brazil trades about equally with the United States and with the European Union; Mexico does much more trade relative to its GDP. Explain these differences using the gravity model. Mexico is quite close to the U.S., but it is far from the European Union (EU). So it makes sense that it trades largely with the U.S. Brazil is far from both, so its trade is split between the two. Mexico trades more than Brazil in part because it is so close to a major economy (the U.S.) and in part because it is a member of a free trade agreement with a large economy (NAFTA). Brazil is farther away from any large economy and is in a free trade agreement with relatively small countries.…
