Consumption theory and its optimization mechanism may be applied to the U.S. presidential elections. Based on Clower’s Dual-Decision Hypothesis (DDH), Wu (2017) derived the result showing change in savings is a function of labor income growth. Under DDH, consumers make optimal decision based...

Keynes’ General Theory (1936) is probably the most challenging economics book ever written, with an abundance of hypotheses, concepts and theories. Twenty five years after its publication, Clower proposed an insightful explanation on Keynes, the Dual-Decision Hypothesis (DDH). Hall (1978) and...

Though Wu (2017) has shown Clower’s Dual Decision Hypothesis leading to Keynes’ change in saving (and disequilibrium) conclusion, it is important to compare Clower’s budget constraint approach with other models, including those found in Hall’s consumption theorem and similar approach. In...

This new version uses the definitions and some of the results found in Sargent’s Macroeconomic Theory. Hall’s (1978) proof of the corollary 4, ct+1 = ct, can be found in Flavin (1981). Writing the same consumption stated in Flavin, for period t+1, in a different way for the summation of the...

During the 2016 U.S. election, many voters from democratic (‘blue wall’) states, which have voted consistently in the past elections for the democrats, suddenly moved back into the Republican fold. During this election, the primary economic issue was supposed to be NAFTA, both Bernie Sanders...

The trend of UK logistics warehouses is reported towards larger and more centralized systems on which automation is heavily invested in recent years. This is partially because of the disadvantage of manual operation resulting in the slow storage and retrieval speed, the high labor cost, and the...

Since the Morris worm was released in 1988, Internet worms continue to be one of top security threats. For example, the Conficker worm infected 9 to 15 million machines in early 2009 and shut down the service of some critical government and medical networks. Moreover, it constructed a massive...
