Application of Coase Theorem

By Academic Wizard Blog

Application of Coase Theorem

INSTRUCTIONS:

By utilizing the required readings as a base, compose a paper citing appropriate examples/principles from the texts and include a minimum of TWO (2) academic peer reviewed scholarly journal articles (citations) that bring depth and insight to the paper and at LEAST ONE (1) Bible verse quote. The word count of the citations (cites) and the Bible quote do NOT count in the paper’s word count. The paper should focus directly on the posed deliverables. Scripture should be interwoven into the fabric of your paper.Application of Coase Theorem

Citation and Reference of Peer Reviewed Journal Articles Application of Coase Theorem

Peer reviewed (also called “scholarly” or “academic”) journals are publications in which all the articles have been vetted by one or more experts to ensure that they conform to good practices of scholarship. Unlike most magazine articles, peer reviewed articles nearly always contain citations to back up the author’s thesis. Please read the detailed definition flowing from the California Polytechnic State University. Application of Coase Theorem

Many of you have not been taught how to cite/reference peer reviewed journal articles using the APA writing style. In order to understand how to cite/reference peer reviewed journal articles using the APA writing style, please note the following: Application of Coase Theorem

The RU Library has the APA Manual in print form: http://library.regent.edu/record=b1700245~S0

The APA has an abbreviated free guide on their website: http://www.apastyle.org/ Application of Coase Theorem

Additionally, as for bearing down on citing/referencing correctly in APA, the The Purdue Owl : https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/10/ has really established itself as the dominant website for APA style citations/references and even has a good YouTube video on the basics of APA style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdAfIqRt60c&feature=youtu.be

Below is an example of a page taken from the Purdue Owl:Application of Coase Theorem

https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/10/

Moreover, the RU University Writing Center

http://www.regent.edu/admin/stusrv/writingcenter/home.cfm has many kind instructors who love teaching citation/reference skills to Regent Students. Please use this learning resource, it is free.

Last, but not least; you may contact the RU Business Librarian:

Harold Henkel | Business & Leadership Librarian

Regent University Library | Mail Drop 119

1000 Regent University Drive

Virginia Beach, VA 23464

Tel: 757-352-4198 | Fax: 757-352-4167

harohen@regent.edu

Per Brother Henkel, peer reviewed articles may be easily found in the RU Library’s business databases. On the advanced search screen, simply check the box for scholarly/peer reviewed articles, and the database will return only this type of article. For business research, he recommends starting off with Business Source Complete and ABI Inform Complete .

A Peer Reviewed Article Defined:

The California Polytechnic State University, Robert E. Kennedy Library defines a peer-reviewed article as follows:

A peer-reviewed article is published in a peer-reviewed journal only after it has been subjected to multiple critiques by scholars in that field. Peer-reviewed journals follow this procedure to make sure that published articles reflect solid scholarship and advance the state of knowledge in a discipline.

These articles present the best and most authoritative information that disciplines have to offer. Also, through the careful use of citations, a peer-reviewed article allows anyone who reads it to examine the foundation of the claims made in the article. Peer-reviewed articles lead to many articles in a chain of information.

Are scholarly and peer-reviewed articles the same thing?

Peer-reviewed and scholarly journals are related but not identical. Not all scholarly journals go through the peer-review process. However, one can assume that a peer-reviewed journal is scholarly.

How can I tell if an article is a peer-reviewed article?

First of all, make sure it is an ARTICLE (not a textbook). Not everything that appears in a peer-reviewed journal is an article. Peer-reviewed journals also contain items such as editorials and book reviews, and these are not subjected to the same level of critique.

The presence of several of the following traits often indicates that an article is peer-reviewed:

· A lot of citations: these may appear in-text, and/or as footnotes, endnotes, works cited, reference list, bibliography.

· An Abstract (brief description of the article)

· The organization of the article into discrete sections such as Methodology, Results, and Conclusion.

· Charts, tables, or graphs.

· Complex, formal language that is specific to the field.

· Notes indicating when article was submitted and when it was accepted.

Please note the following Grading Guidelines for Case Study Papers:

There are certain expectations that transcend the grading of a paper in this class. The syllabus states that students are to follow the APA Writing Style & Formatting Guidelines.

The papers are somewhat subjective; therefore, grade reduction usually results from the paper lacking one or more of the following:

Did not include a separate Title Page = minus 3 points

Did not include a separate Reference Page = minus 3 points

Did not include one peer reviewed journal article citations = minus 3 points

Note: a Textbook, Wikipedia, Investopedia, etc. are NOT peer reviewed

Did not include a quoted and APA cited Bible Scripture (complete verse) = minus 10 points

If you have technical problems with Canvas, please contact the Help Desk/IT department. You may e-mail the Help Desk at: helpdesk@regent.edu or call at (757) 226-4076.

These APA additions, references, citations and quotes are NOT a part of the word count that should be at least 300 words. In APA style, citations are in-text references that point to a full citation in the reference list at the end of the paper. References are the full entries for each source used in the paper, providing details for readers to locate the source. Quotes are passages taken verbatim from a source, and in APA, they are cited with an in-text citation and, if the quote is 40 words or more, formatted as a block quote.

Moreover, a paper exceeding 700 words will result in a grade reduction.

DELIVERABLES: “Coase Theorem”

Utilizing the RU Library resources and www; research work by Dr. Ronald Coase (who won a Nobel Prize for his work) appertaining to what is known as the “Coase Theorem”. Some economists see this theorem as a tautology, while others see it as powerfully insightful.

Respond to the following questions. Please do not write a narrative. Your paper should concisely express salient points of interest for each question in the order denoted.

1. Research and explain the Coase Theorem. ,

2. Discuss how practical it may be for two entities (individuals corporations etc.) to meet the criterion that Professor Coase outlines. ,

3. Describe a personal example of a time when you created or were impacted by a positive or negative externality., Would Prof. Coase’s approach have helped in your case? , If not what other remedies might be available?,

Note: if you are unable to come up with an example; let me provide some thoughts: e.g. exhaust emanating from a nearby (or even distant) car;

second hand smoke; or you save money by pouring your used motor oil in a sewer; or any aspect of the drug trade.

Social Media and Depression

By Academic Wizard Blog

Foundations: Social Media and Depression

Scholarly Sources and the Walden Library

Scholarly information comes from a wide variety of sources including academic books, encyclopedias, handbooks, and journals. “Scholarly” is a broad term for publications written by and for researchers and scholars. These publications are typically not found in your local bookstore or public library because they are written for a very specific audience. They are mostly available in university and specialized libraries, not freely available online. This is why it is essential to learn to navigate the Walden Library and use it often! Social Media and Depression

During your time at Walden, you will be focusing on peer reviewed journal articles, a specific type of scholarly publication that goes through a specialized review process. These types of articles may report on original research or review the work of other researchers. Social Media and Depression,

As you use the Walden Library to search the peer reviewed literature to support your discussion posts and assignments it is important to understand how the Library is organized., Most modern libraries make their materials available electronically through searchable databases., Here in the Walden Library you have access to specialized academic databases many of which are specific to psychology and the social and behavioral sciences. Social Media and Depression,

As part of this week’s Discussion you will explore the databases in the Walden Library and compare and contrast peer reviewed articles found in these databases to those found online. Social Media and Depression,

PowerPoint Presentation Assignment

By Academic Wizard Blog

PowerPoint Presentation Assignment

This assignment will be very similar to the Research Paper Assignments completed in this course. However, it is our desire that not only do you become a great researcher, but you also become an “expert of the presentation.” When you earn your PhD, you may find yourself in a teaching role. In fact, maybe you will be teaching Transnational Organized Crime! This series of PowerPoint presentations will be a great start in your class preparation. In this assignment you analyze organized crime in various countries and reduce your analysis to a PowerPoint with speaker notes. You will truly be an international criminal. The “crime” committed can be of your choosing as long as it is illegal in the country we are studying. You will find that this very deep dive into the criminal justice systems of each country we study will help you become a world criminal justice system expert. PowerPoint Presentation Assignment

Instructions

These are minimum guidelines – you may expand the topics covered in your PowerPoint – keep the quality at a doctoral level.

1. Analyze the nature of organized crime in the assigned area (you may narrow the scope of your analysis through your introduction if needed),

1. Analyze the impact of organized crime in the assigned area on the government,

1. Briefly propose policies that may be helpful in mitigating organized crime in the assigned area,

1. A Holy Bible comparison/analysis of the nature of the organized crime system the impact on the country or your proposed policy to mitigate the system PowerPoint Presentation Assignment ,

Prepare a 10 slide PowerPoint presentation. Title slide(s) and reference slide(s) do not count toward the slide count., The vast slide count difference is because organized crime in some countries is quite easy to study and organized crime in some countries have very limited information. In some instances, there will be a plethora of information and you must use skilled writing to maintain proper slide count. Please keep in mind that this is a doctoral level presentation. Your research must go beyond the mere textbook and have a minimum of 8 scholarly sources. The Holy Bible should be used at least once in the PowerPoint presentation. Each slide (of the 10 slides) must have 200 to 350 words of bulleted or paragraph speakers notes (in speaker notes section of the slide build). The slides should be professional and not cluttered with too many words. The sources should be reflected in the speaker notes, slides, and “reference section slide.” Additionally, you, the student, should use animations, transitions, and graphics to reflect PhD level research. Please review the grading rubric when forming your presentation. Sources should reflect scholarly work but may include .gov information is there is an author or if the information comes from a valid government research database (think CIA, State Department, United Nations, etc.).z
