i. Atmospheric Noise:
Atmospheric noise or static is caused by lightning discharges in thunderstorms and other natural electrical disturbances occurring in the atmosphere.
ii. Industrial Noise:
Industrial noise refers to noise that is created in the factories. Sound becomes noise it becomes unwanted. Heavy industries like shipbuilding, iron, and steel have long been associated with Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL).
iii. Man-made Noise:
The main sources of man-made noise pollution are ships, aircraft, seismic exploration, marine construction, drilling, and motor boats.

Macro economics suffers from certain limitations. They are:
1. There is a danger of excessive generalisation of the economy as a whole.
2. It assumes homogeneity among the individual units.
3. There is a fallacy of composition. What is good of an individual need not be good for nation and viceversa. And, what is good for a country is not good for another country and at another time.
4. Many non - economic factors determine economic activities; but they do not find place in the usual macroeconomic books.

(i) The general objective of Econometrics is to give empirical content to economic theory
(ii) The specific objectives are :
(i) It helps to explain the behaviour of a forthcoming period that is forecasting economic phenomena.
(ii) It helps to prove the old and established relationships among the variables or between the variables.
(iii) It helps to establish new theories and new relationships.
(iv) It helps to test the hypotheses and estimation of the parameter.
110.
(i) The cause for vicious circle of poverty is demand and supply.
(ii) On the supply side, the low level of real income leads to low level of saving and investment and to deficiency of capital.
(iii) Deficiency of capital leads to low productivity and back to low income.
(iv) On the demand-side, low level of real income leads to low demand so investment is less, therefore deficiency of capital, low productivity and low income.
111.
(i) Land pollution is defined as, "the degradation of land because of the disposal of waste on the land".
(ii) Any substance that is discharged, emitted or deposited in the environment in such a way that it alters the environment causes land pollution.
Causes:
Deforestation and soil erosion:
(i) Deforestation carried out to create dry lands is one concern.
(ii) Land that is once converted into a dry land can never be made fertile again.
Agricultural activities:
(i) With growing human and pet animal population demand for food has increased.
(ii) Farmers use highly toxic fertilizers and pesticides which contaminates and poisons the land.
Mining activities:
(i) During extraction and mining, several land spaces are created beneath the surface.
Landfills:
(i) Garbage like plastic, paper, cloth, wood and hospital waste get accumulated.
(ii) Things that cannot be recycled become a part of the landfills that cause land pollution.
Industrialization:
(i) Due to increasing consumerism more industries are developed which lead to deforestation.
Construction activities:
(i) Due to urbanisation, large amount of construction activities are taking place.
(ii) Waste articles like wood, metal, bricks, are dumped at the outskirts of urban areas that lead to land pollution.
Nuclear waste:
(i) The leftover radioactive materials, harmful and toxic chemicals affect human health.
(ii) They are dumped beneath the earth to avoid any casualty.
112.

(i) A country with a high national income enjoys greater economic welfare and higher standard of living.
(ii) But the per capita income as an index of economic welfare has some limitations.
(iii) Welfare depends on the composition of goods and services. If more capital goods over consumer goods are produced welfare will be lesser.
(iv) Higher GDP with greater air, water, soil pollution will affect welfare.
(v) Production of war goods will increase output but not welfare.

Economic development is measured on the basis of four criteria
Gross National Product (GNP):
(i) GNP is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a particular year, plus income earned by its citizens (including income of those located abroad), minus income of non-residents located in that country.
(ii) GNP is one measure of the economic condition of a country, under the assumption that a higher GNP leads to a higher quality of living, all other things being equal.
GNP per capita:
(i) This relates to increasing in the per capita real income of the economy over the long period
(ii) This indicator of economic growth emphasizes that for economic development the rate of increase in real per capita income should be higher than the growth rate of population.
Welfare:
(i) Economic development is regarded as a process whereby there is an increase in the consumption of goods and services by individuals.
(ii) From the welfare perspective, economic development is defined as a sustained improvement in health, literacy, and standard of living
Social Indicators:
(i) Social indicators are normally referred to as basic and collective needs of the people
(ii) The direct provision of basic needs such as health, education, food, water, sanitation, and housing facilities check social backwardness.
| S/N | Basic need | Indicators |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Health | Life expectancy at birth |
| 2 | Education | Literacy signifying primary school enrolment as a percent of the population. |
| 3 | Food | Calorie Supply per head |
| 4 | Water supply | Infant mortality and percentage of the population with access to potable water |
| 5 | Sanitation | Infant mortality and percentage of the population with access to sanitation. |

(a) Kumar is cyclically unemployed. He has lost his job as a result of the general economic recession.
(b) Sathish is frictionally unemployed. Job openings exist for him. It is merely a case of tracking down a position.
(c) Latha is structurally unemployed. Unemployment due to technological change in an industry is classified as structural.
(d) Devi, is frictionally unemployed. Job openings exist for her.

Adam Smith argued that all nations can be benefitted when there is free trade and specialisation in terms of their absolute cost advantage
The Theory
(i) According to Adam Smith, the basis of international trade was absolute cost advantage.
(ii) Trade between two countries would be mutually beneficial when one country produces a commodity at an absolute cost advantage over the other country which in turn produces another commodity at an absolute cost advantage over the first country.
Assumptions
1. There are two countries and two commodities (2 x 2 model).
2. Labour is the only factor of production
3. Labour units are homogeneous
4. The cost or price of a commodity is measured by the amount of labour required to produce it.
5. There is no transport cost.
Illustration
Absolute cost advantage theory can be illustrated with the help of the following example.
(iii) From the illustration, it is clear that India has an absolute advantage in the production of wheat over China and China has an absolute advantage in the production of cloth over India
(iv) Therefore, India should specialize in the production of wheat and import cloth from China. China should specialize in the production of cloth and import wheat from India
(v) This kind of trade would be mutually beneficial to both India and China.
127.
1. In addition to household and firms, inclusion of the government sector makes this model a three-sector model.
2. The government levies taxes on households and firms, purchases goods and services from firms, and receive factors of production from household sector.
3. On the other hand, the government also makes social transfers such as pension, relief, subsidies to the households.
4. Similarly, Government pays the firms for the purchases of goods and services.
5. The Flow Chart illustrates three- sector economy model

Under three sector model, national income
(Y) is obtained by adding Consumption expenditure (C), Investment expenditure (I) and Government expenditure (G).
Therefore Y = C + I + G
128.
(i) The propensity to consume refers to the portion of income spent on consumption.
MPC = \(\frac{ΔC}{ΔY}\)
(K) = \(\frac{1}{1-MPC}\)
(ii) The multiplier is the reciprocal of one minus marginal propensity to consume.
(iii) Multiplier is 1/MPS
(iv) The multiplier is therefore define as reciprocal of MPS.
(v) Multiplier is inversely related to MPS and directly with MPC.
Numerically, if MPC is 0.75, MPS is 0.25 and K is 4.
Using formula K = \(\frac{1}{1-MPC}\)
⇒\(\frac{1}{1-0.75}\) = 1/0.25 = 4
∴ Multiplier (K) = 4
| MPC | MPS | K |
|---|---|---|
| 1.00 | 1.00 | 1 |
| 0.10 | 1.90 | 1.11 |
| 0.50 | 0.50 | 2.00 |
| 0.75 | 0.25 | 4.00 |
| 0.90 | 0.10 | 10.00 |
| 1.00 | 0.00 | ∝ |
C = 100 + 0.8Y;
I = 10
Y = C + I
= 100 + 0.8 Y +9p00
0.2Y = 1000
∴ Y = 1000
Here, C = 100 + 0.8y
= 100 + 1000 = 900
S = 100 = I
After I is raised by 10, now I = 110
Y = 100 + 0.8y + 110
0.2y = 210
y = \(\frac{210}{0.2}\) = 1050
Here, C = 100 = 0.8 (1050) = 940,
S = 110 = I
(i) It implies the variables in axis-and axis are equal.
(ii) The MPC is assumed to be at 0.8. (C = 100 + 0.8y)
(iii) The aggregate demand (C + I) curve intersects 45° line at point E.
(iv) The new aggregate demand curve is
C + I = 100 + 0.8Y + 100 + 10
Y = \(\frac{210}{0.2}\)
C = 940; S = 110 = Z
129.
Product Method:
(i) Product method measures the output of the country. It is also called inventory method.
(ii) It is obtained for the entire economy during a year.
(iii) The value obtained is actually the GNP at market prices.
(iv) Care must be taken to avoid double counting.
(v) The value of the final product is derived by the summation of all the values added in the productive process.
(vi) To avoid double counting either the value of the final output should be taken in to the estimate of GNP.
(vii) In India the gross value of the farm output is obtained as follows.
(1) The output of each crop is measured by multiplying the area shown by the average yield per hectare.
(2) The total output of each commodity is valued at market prices.
(3) The net value of the agriculture output is measured by making deductions for the cost of seed, manures and fertilisers etc.,
(4) Net value of the output in these sectors is derived by making deductions for cost of materials used in the process of production and depreciation allowances etc., from gross value of output,
(5) For example, value of cotton enters value of yarn as cost and value of yarn in cloth and that of cloth in garments at every stage value added only should be calculated.

Introduction
A systematic development of the simple accelerator model was made by J.M.Clark, It was further developed by Hicks, Samuelson and Harrod.
Definition
Accelerator coefficient is the ratio between induced investment and an initial change in consumption \(\beta=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{I}}{\Delta \mathrm{C}}\)
Operation
Suppose that in order to produce 1000 consumer goods, 100 machines are needed. Working life of a machine is 10 yrs i.e, every year 10 machines have to be replaced. This is called replacement demand
(i) Suppose that demand for consumer goods rises by 10 % (i.e, from 1000 to 1100)
(ii) This results in increase in demand for 10 more machines
(iii) The total demand for machines is 20 i.e, 10 % increase in demand for consumer goods causes 100 % increase in demand for machine (from 10 to 20 )
Explanation
(i) SS is the saving curve.
(ii) II is the investment curve.
(iii) At point E1 the economy is in equilibrium with OY1 income.
(iv) S and I are equal at O2.
(v) Now I increased from OI2 to OI4.
(vi) This increases income from OY1 to OY3 at E2 equilibrium.
(vii) If the increase in investment by I2I4 is purely exogenous, then the increase in income by Y1Y3 would be due to multiplier.
(viii) But in this diagram it is assumed that exogenous investment is only by I2I3 and induced investment is by I3I4.
(ix) Therefore, the increase in income by Y1Y2 is due to the multiplier effect and the increase in income by Y2Y3 is due to the accelerator effect.
