The Life Cycle Hypothesis’ (LCH) use of empirical findings bridges individual and national savings to the effects of fiscal and monetary policy, and macroeconomic wealth. The LCH presents an alternative approach to saving behavior. Individuals maximize the utility of their future consumption through consumption smoothing. Quintessentially, savings is a medium used to ensure a consistent standard of consumption in each stage of the life cycle. In a steady state a positive relationship exists between

As D.J.P Barker state in his article titled, Fetal and Infant Origins of Adult Disease Hypothesis that adaptations that fetus make when is under-nourished rather than adaptations made in adult life and those made during early development tends to have permanent effect on body's structure and function (Barker, 2001). He hypothesize that low birth weight is a factor contributing to development of coronary heart disease in adulthood
to their low incomes—they have implications for the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Children who have worse cognitive, behavioral and health outcomes may be more likely to obtain less education and have lower earnings as adults, and to go on to rear their children in poorer environments. This line of reasoning suggests that policies and programs that improve outcomes for low-income children may break—or at least

The strange thing that such situations are originating in the same country, where there are areas / segments / groups harshly facing the displays of the low living standards, whereas others live in the similar country in entirely different life of luxury and wealth.

Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century is concerned with income inequality. His central thesis is based on the equation r>g, where r is the average annual rate of return on capital, and g is the growth of the economy. Piketty’s main argument is that invested capital will grow faster than income, the implications of which are profound. To put it simply Piketty believes that if r>g, the rich will get richer while those who rely on income will never catch up to the wealth of people who are already
I will test the hypothesis in this study based on the results of the t-test on the digit with an unusually high frequency in the financial statements of avoiders. As mentioned above, the test sample will be used in a regression model to see if the finding of the first test is correct and persists when controls are included for firm characteristics which are associated with cash effective tax rates. More specifically, firm characteristics which have been proven to be a determinant of corporate tax
While all societies acknowledge that children are different from adults, how they are different, changes, both generationally and across cultures. “The essence of childhood studies is that childhood is a social and cultural phenomenon” (James, 1998). Evident that there are in fact multiple childhoods, a unifying theme of childhood studies is that childhood is a social construction and aims to explore the major implications on future outcomes and adulthood.

The Human Memory The reason people exist is because of two important things: memory and language, which have been vital in the evolution of humanity. (Our ancestors needed language to explain how to light a fire to keep them warm and a memory to remember how to do it). So we have a memory because if we did not we would never have evolved far enough for you to ask this question in this place. So how does it work? The process involve in the human memory are very complex… I will present you the

graduating to harder drugs, it must be a “gateway” to harder drug use. The theory implies that there is a causal mechanism that biologically sensitizes drug users, making them more willing to try—and more desirous of—harder drugs. Yet the gateway hypothesis doesn’t make sense to those who use marijuana or have used in the past. Research shows that the vast majority of marijuana users do not go on to use hard drugs. Most stop using after entering the
