Hey! I wanted to ask if you had any ideas on currency for rock and pop trolls. (I think pop trolls would be the type to exchange services on goods while rock trolls have some form of money)

Also sorry you’re going through writers block :(, hope you get through it soon!

Currency is the bane of my existence because trolls apparently must have some sort of currency because Rosiepuff 'plays for the money'. I do enjoy them having a barter system for some things, though their market seems to have reached a level of industrialization in The Beat Goes On/Trollstopia (Having factories and fast fashion) that would likely be a little difficult to manage. One example is Smidge's stoutberry juice business. It pops up and the crowd moves so fast on it that I imagine having to barter for a single glass of juice for every person would be a bit more difficult than bartering for weekly groceries. We don't see her exchanging it for anything in the episode but she does explicitly refer to it as a 'business' that would be jeopardized by competition, so she is gaining something from it.

I also think 'favors' would make things a bit difficult especially during their time at the troll tree. Imagine making a huge deal only for them to get eaten before you can collect.

A friend of mine has them using jellybeans as currency, which I find on brand and hilarious.

Honestly I could see Pop Trolls having 'money' but it works a bit differently. Money is paper based and anyone can make it at any point they wish. On it, rather than numbers or pictures of troll-ified presidents is nice words. Everyone has different takes on it and the more heartfelt the words written on it increases its value. This would mean you couldn't just mass produce it, because it wouldn't be heartfelt and so it wouldn't be worth much.

Since they're personalized, unlike our money you can't take the money you were just given and use it to pay someone else. As you can imagine you'd be buried in 'money' fast so that's what the bank would be for. Holding on to all your lovely money so you could read it any time.

I also imagine that this would be why canon Branch would want to harvest his own supplies so much! He never made his own 'money' and at the time there likely wouldn't have been anyone who would have accepted it because it wouldn't have seemed sincere. After his colors came back I imagine he made some and was a bit worried if it would be worth anything, but every time he used it everyone could tell it was worth a lot because he put a lot of effort into trying it, so most places gave him extras of whatever he was trying to buy.

These would have definitely been popular during their time under Trollstice. A perfect pick me up to sit and read over all the kind notes!

Rock Trolls I could see having a money system closer to ours, as they're a LOT more industrialized than TBGO Pop Trolls and we know they have some sort of 'pay' concept since Barb tells Riff "I don't pay you to hear."

Since Riff replies that he's not being paid, he's doing it for college credits, it would also imply that they don't have a barter system, as doing it for college credits would be virtually the same as receiving a 'favor' so there would be no reason to clarify that.

The only difference is I imagine their economy isn't in shambles. Riff isn't buried in student loans.

Of all the tribes to most likely exchange favors, I could see it being Country.

The intermingling of tribes would probably create the need for a standard currency or exchange rate, as I can imagine Rock Trolls don't want glittery notes as payment. Honestly I could see the Funk Trolls coming up with some sort of conversion system so that among your own tribe you could keep your standard money or go to a Funk bank and swap in so you can visit Symphonyville and not have to do any extra math.

TY for the well wishes and the fun question! I had a lot of fun turning this over in my head.

Last week, Netflix cut subscription prices in over 100 countries in hopes of maintaining subscriber growth as streaming competition continues to put pressure on the leading streaming platform. According to research by Ampere Analysis, the price drop will impact 10 million subscribers, which is approximately 4% of the company’s subscribers. Price decreases vary from county to country and on subscription plan. Countries with higher average revenue per membership such as the United States and countries in Western Europe, were not impacted by the price changes.

Netflix is aggressively targeting overseas countries to increase profitability. In recent months, Netflix stock fell nearly 5% as rivals such as Paramount+ and Disney+ have brought in new subscribers.

Notes: For this analysis, prices are for the Basic Plan. All prices were converted from local currency to USD at the current exchange rate (March 1, 2023).

That was a weirdly unpleasant episode

Ratio Tile launches into a long elucidation of the social aspects of video games. The phrase "voxel economy" crosses his lips. This is an idiom, a familiar shorthand for the distinctive social world implicit in the design of a given game world. It applies at a level deeper than the usual interpretation of game economics, i.e. the accumulation of currency as a necessary precondition for additional consumption.

The standard list of social norms pertaining to voxel-space management in a given game world is as follows:

A: The system of monetary exchange is private, meaning that the members of an online server are free to communicate using non-traceable currency. The resulting lack of transparency can render the true valuation of any given player's wealth and assets unclear, at any given moment in time, although an experienced player is capable of approximating this valuation using indirect methods.

B: The expected rate of item drop from any given hostile creature depends, in many games, on a player's current gear level — defined as the current level of equipment available to that player. Lower-level players are much less likely to encounter high-level creatures, while higher-level players are incentivized to travel to highly populated or well-defended areas, rather than engaging in lonely wandering.

C: Player-to-player violence, while considered a breach of social norms, remains in many games an intrinsic part of the general game experience. Although fights are sometimes inadvertent, encountering players outside of the formal game world typically leads to a violent confrontation. A large playerbase has its own communities, as distinct from the looser amalgamation of strangers within the game proper. These communities are openly acknowledged and mapped, and fights with members of other communities carry significant symbolic value. The risk of encountering a stranger in the wild, and being challenged to a fight with the other player as a consequence, is one of the major draws of this genre, for many players.

D: Travel between zones in many games is dependent on items called teleport scrolls. They are a kind of currency specific to this genre. The expense of teleporting, usually expressed in terms of in-game wealth, is meant to reflect the difficulty of teleportation in reality. Players in online game communities, however, often establish elaborate barter systems with other players, which allow for much cheaper teleportation.

E: Some games have additional incentives based on a player's current gear level, which include XP-gain and bonus item drop from hostile creatures. Both have strong implications for voxel-space management. A player at a lower level in a given zone would, ideally, remain there until they attain a gear level sufficient for travel to a higher zone. However, two factors negate this incentive structure: firstly, many players are said to be indecisive, or fence-sitters — meaning they are reluctant to travel to a zone of a sufficiently high level in order to maximize their gain. Players at higher levels, especially if they frequently travel, have a strong incentive to visit zones of lower level as a way of acquiring easy XP-gain at low risk, by challenging players of lower levels to fights. It is for this reason that high-level players are encouraged, in some communities, to wear heavily-damaged or outdated gear as a means of luring weaker players into fights that are, in practice, non-competitive. Players thus engage in a highly elaborate ritualized dance, known as the zone dance. The most experienced players use the zone dance to establish informal territorial dominance, which grants them access to highly-desirable loot-zones. Others, including most younger players, are unfamiliar with it and fall prey to it.

F: Accumulating wealth in the form of teleport scrolls is a difficult endeavor, and carries significant risk; most players retain only a portion of their wealth as teleport scrolls, exchanging the rest for other forms of currency or gear. For this reason, most players can only travel between a relatively small number of low-risk zones, after which point they must interact with others to secure additional teleport scrolls, or alternatively, commit to traveling to higher-risk zoens.

G: The density of teleport scrolls obtained from hostile creatures relative to XP-gain grows as the player's gear level increases; at the same time, the probability of hostile creatures weak enough to yield teleport scrolls, and thereby be of value to a player of lower level, drops sharply. This implies a highly asymmetrical distribution of wealth, whereby wealth in the form of teleport scrolls begins to disappear as a player's gear level grows, while wealth in the form of gear increases exponentially.

H: As players advance to higher levels, their expected gains from traveling to lower-level zones begins to vanish. High-level players are advised to visit only highly-populated or well-defended zones — the latter being those where travelers are most likely to encounter large-scale fighting. These zones are associated with numerous dangers: the risk of attack from seasoned warriors (defined as players who are familiar with the zone dance) is inversely proportional to the zone level; in addition, the spatial distribution of teleport scrolls is highly asymmetrical, meaning that low-level zones tend to yield significantly more scrolls than high-level zones, and vice versa.

I: Some players, out of a desire to adhere to the "spirit" of the game, grow "nostalgic" for lower-level zones as they advance to high level, or in order to satisfy a desire for a return to "a more honest way of playing" (which they believe to be a feature of the earlier releases of the games, before more recent alterations in game mechanics).

J: A player at high level will, at some point, find him or herself in a situation where they can only travel to a low-level zone — and vice versa. This process is generally referred to as pumping (voring is a less common term for the same thing).

K: The artifactual nature of the voxels themselves means that there is often a highly asymmetrical distribution of voxels within a zone. Players may find themselves in situations where they are able to acquire a great deal of voxels but cannot transport them beyond a certain distance, owing to the incompleteness of the set of teleport scrolls they currently hold.

Navigating the Forex Market: A Beginner's Guide to Currency Trading

https://www.brokersview.com

In today's interconnected world, the foreign exchange (forex) market stands as the largest and most liquid financial market globally, with a daily trading volume exceeding $6 trillion. As a newcomer to the world of finance, understanding the basics of forex trading can be the first step toward harnessing its potential. In this post, we'll provide an introductory guide to help you navigate the forex market.

What is Forex Trading?

Forex, short for foreign exchange, involves the buying and selling of currencies from different countries. The forex market operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, due to the global nature of currency trading. It serves various purposes, from facilitating international trade to allowing investors to speculate on currency price movements.

Key Players in the Forex Market

Central Banks: Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve (Fed) in the United States and the European Central Bank (ECB), play a significant role in the forex market by setting interest rates and implementing monetary policies that impact currency values.

Commercial Banks: Commercial banks participate in forex trading on behalf of their clients and themselves, serving as major liquidity providers in the market.

Hedge Funds and Investment Firms: Large financial institutions and hedge funds engage in forex trading to diversify their portfolios and capitalize on price fluctuations.

Retail Traders: Individual traders like you and me participate in the forex market through online trading platforms provided by brokers.

Currency Pairs

In forex trading, currencies are quoted in pairs, where one currency is exchanged for another. The first currency in the pair is the base currency, and the second is the quote currency. The exchange rate reflects how much of the quote currency is needed to purchase one unit of the base currency. For example, in the EUR/USD pair, the EUR is the base currency, and the USD is the quote currency. If the EUR/USD exchange rate is 1.20, it means 1 Euro can buy 1.20 US Dollars.

How Forex Trading Works

Forex trading involves speculating on whether a currency pair's value will rise (appreciate) or fall (depreciate) in the future. Traders can take two primary positions:

Long Position (Buy): A trader buys a currency pair if they believe the base currency will strengthen against the quote currency.

Short Position (Sell): A trader sells a currency pair if they expect the base currency to weaken compared to the quote currency.

Risk Management

Forex trading carries inherent risks due to the volatility of currency markets. It's crucial to implement risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders to limit potential losses and diversifying your trading portfolio.

Choosing a Forex Broker

Selecting the right forex broker is a critical step for beginners. Look for brokers regulated by reputable authorities, offering user-friendly trading platforms, competitive spreads, and excellent customer support.

Educational Resources

Learning is an ongoing process in forex trading. Take advantage of educational resources provided by brokers, online courses, webinars, and trading forums to enhance your understanding of the market.

Conclusion

Forex trading offers opportunities for profit, but it's essential to approach it with knowledge, discipline, and caution. As a beginner, start with a demo account to practice your trading strategies without risking real money. Over time, you can gain confidence and experience to make informed decisions in the dynamic world of forex trading. Remember that success in forex trading requires continuous learning and adaptation to changing market conditions.

'Part of the reason for turning inward was a particular interpretation of history. The belief that richer countries were successful because they protected manufacturing gave respectability to industrial policy. That turned out to be a misreading of history. Despite high tariffs, the United States developed as an open economy—open to immigration, capital, and technology—and one with an exceptionally large domestic market that was fiercely competitive. Furthermore, the high-tariff United States overtook free-trade Britain in per capita income in the late 19th century by increasing labor productivity in the service sector, not by raising productivity in the manufacturing sector (Broadberry 1998). In Western Europe, growth was related to the shifting of resources out of agriculture and into industry and services. Trade policies designed to protect agriculture from low prices likely slowed this transition in countries such as Germany. While across-the-board import substitution fell out of favor decades ago, the debate over industrial policy continues to this day. The experience of successful East Asian countries has given it a positive gloss, but even here standard history can mislead.

In 1960, South Korea was saddled with an overvalued currency and exports of just 1 percent of GDP. The country’s ability to import depended almost entirely on US aid. After devaluing its currency in the early and mid-1960s, Korea’s exports became more competitive and exploded, reaching 20 percent of GDP by the early 1970s. The main policy involved setting a realistic exchange rate that allowed exports to flourish along with cheaper credit for all exporters, not targeted industries (Irwin 2021). Industrial policy did not really start until the Heavy and Chemical Industry Drive of 1973–79, which was later terminated because of its excessive costs and inefficiency. But Korea’s rapid growth had already been unleashed before the industrial policy era. The debate over industrial policy has long been locked in a stalemate. Some see it as essential to productivity growth and structural transformation, while others see it as abetting corruption and fostering inefficiency. Some point to Argentina’s costly attempt to promote the assembly of electronics in Tierra del Fuego, while others point to gleaming high-tech factories in China and Korea. The effects are easy to exaggerate. Quantitative models suggest that the gains from even optimally designed industrial policies are small and unlikely to be transformative (Bartelme and others 2021). What is new is that the United States has joined China in an explicit embrace of industrial policies.'

Towards an Anarcho-Capitalist Society: Pathways and Possibilities

By: Twitter: ItsSanMan

Anarcho-capitalism, a philosophical belief centered around maximum personal freedom, has sparked significant debates concerning the societal organization. The fundamental principle of libertarianism is the non-aggression principle, which asserts that individuals should be free to act as they wish, as long as they do not harm others. Critics argue that a libertarian society would be unfeasible due to lack of law enforcement, potential for exploitation, and potential lack of social services. Despite these concerns, proponents argue that a stateless libertarian society is achievable through a gradualist approach that emphasizes private property rights, free markets, and voluntary cooperation. This essay will explore possible pathways towards achieving such a society.

Property Rights and Dispute Resolution

The concept of private property is crucial in a stateless libertarian society. In this society, all property would be privately owned, and any conflicts related to property rights would be settled through private dispute resolution organizations (DROs). These organizations would operate in a competitive market, offering their services to consumers who voluntarily agree to use them. They would be incentivized to provide fair, effective, and efficient service to maintain their reputation and market share.

Economic Framework

An anarcho-capitalist society would rely heavily on free-market capitalism, where individuals freely engage in voluntary exchanges without state intervention. This means the abolition of state-controlled central banks, leaving banking and the creation of money to the private sector. Cryptocurrencies or commodity-based currencies could serve as alternative forms of money, fostering economic transactions that are truly decentralized.

The voluntary exchange of goods and services would lead to the creation of private businesses and cooperatives, which could compete freely in the marketplace. Without state-imposed barriers to entry, the economic landscape would be more competitive, leading to increased innovation and efficiency.

Law and Security

The traditional state-provided functions of law enforcement and defense would be privatized. Private security firms and neighborhood watch groups could provide security services to those who wish to purchase them. These firms would be subject to market forces, meaning they would have to provide effective service at a competitive price to stay in business. Similarly, legal disputes could be handled by arbitration firms operating in a free market.

Social Services

In a stateless libertarian society, social services like healthcare, education, and social security would also be privatized. Non-profit organizations, charities, and mutual aid societies would play a significant role in providing these services. The free market could incentivize the emergence of innovative solutions to meet social needs, and without government regulations, these solutions could be more efficient and cost-effective.

Gradual Transition

Transitioning Towards a Stateless Libertarian Society: A Gradual Approach

A transition towards a stateless libertarian society would likely involve multiple stages and a long-term commitment to ensure a smooth process and minimize disruption.

1. Reducing the Size and Scope of Government

The first stage of transition involves reducing the size and scope of government gradually. This could begin with efforts to eliminate or cut back on unnecessary and inefficient government departments, programs, and regulations. Tax rates could be slowly lowered, particularly for business and income taxes, to promote economic growth and personal freedom.

2. Deregulating Industries

The second stage could involve deregulating industries one at a time, starting with those that could benefit most from increased competition and innovation. By reducing the regulatory burden on businesses, markets would be freer, and competition would be likely to increase. This could lead to improvements in quality and reductions in price for consumers.

3. Privatization

In the third stage, government-owned businesses and services could be privatized. This would include utilities, infrastructure, and even certain social services. Privatization would need to be done carefully, ensuring fair competition and preventing the formation of monopolies. Here, too, the transition would be gradual, with businesses slowly transferred into private hands, allowing time for the market to adjust.

4. Decentralization of Money and Banking

The fourth stage might involve the decentralization of money and banking. This would mean phasing out central banks and government-issued money in favor of private banking and currencies. Cryptocurrencies and other forms of decentralized money could play a significant role in this stage.

5. Shifting Social Services to Non-Profits and Private Firms

Finally, the transition to a stateless libertarian society would involve shifting social services from government control to non-profit organizations and private firms. Education, healthcare, and social security could be provided by non-profit organizations, charities, and mutual aid societies, which would be incentivized to offer efficient and effective services to retain support and funding.

Throughout each stage of this transition, it would be essential to maintain a strong commitment to the non-aggression principle and the protection of individual rights, particularly property rights. Private dispute resolution organizations could help enforce these rights and resolve conflicts without the need for a traditional government legal system.

While the transition towards a stateless libertarian society would undoubtedly be complex and challenging, a gradual, multi-stage approach could help mitigate potential disruptions and allow for adjustments along the way. Through each step, this transformation would push towards a society with a greater emphasis on personal freedom, economic freedom, and voluntary cooperation. Ultimately, the transition to a stateless libertarian society demands careful planning, steadfast commitment to libertarian principles, and the willingness to adapt and learn throughout the process.

The path towards a stateless libertarian society is paved with numerous challenges, including cultural, practical, and ethical obstacles. Yet, through a combination of respect for private property, free-market principles, voluntary cooperation, and a gradual transition, it might be possible to create a society that aligns with libertarian ideals. The promise of such a society – one with greater freedom, prosperity, and social cooperation – continues to inspire advocates of libertarianism. The feasibility and desirability of such a society remain open questions, but the discussion itself sheds light on potential alternatives to our current societal structures.

The pursuit of an ancap society necessitates an ongoing dialogue, with room for theoretical exploration and empirical evaluation of existing and emerging social systems. These discourses can contribute to our understanding of social organization, allowing us to envision and perhaps realize better societal arrangements in the future.

“lay your weary head to rest; don't you cry no—” “The ongoing human rights crisis in Firene escalates as civilian casualties from Corrupted attacks continue to surge.” [A'lear Part 4]

(Spoilers up to Chapter 3 of Fire Emblem: Engage.)

With the walls breached and Queen Lumera dead, Lythos Castle is no longer a safe haven.

Vander has a suggestion: they make the Somniel their home base. It's where the Divine Stewards watched over A'lear for a millenium, so he and the twins know the place well. There's plenty of room for guests—royal dignitaries, including Alfred, used to visit A'lear in her slumber—and facilities, too. And as a floating island, it can move about a little bit, making it a mobile base of operations.

A'lear, still a little shaken, asks if the floating mansion island is defensible.

"Fear not, Divine One," says Vander. "It's only possible to enter the Somniel with a Divine Dragon's permission."

A'lear is the only Divine Dragon left, as far as she knows... so that means...

"Yes. This is impenetrable plot armour."

A'lear is hesitant. "Are you sure? Is it possible that a Deus ex Machina blatantly contradicts this and turns the one place I thought I was safe into a traumatising battleground?"

"No, Divine One. Not in the main story, though I make no such promises for the DLC."

"So why couldn't Lumera put the same enchantment on Lythos Castle?"

"You're in grief, Divine One. This is not a plot hole, it probably took an enormous amount of power for her to ward the Somniel like that. The Castle is far bigger, and as a capitol building it sees more regular foot traffic."

"She could have put that enchantment on the Ring Chamber!" A'lear wails.

"Perhaps. Perhaps not." Vander embraces his ward gently. "We just don't understand how magic works."

"It's true," says Clanne somberly, "we don't."

--------

It's still night time when they arrive at the Somniel. There'll be time to explore later, but first—

—free FEH merch! We get three S-rank bond rings, and three D-rank weapons, corresponding to the Askr trio. Both sets are pretty damned good, especially for freebies.

Bond rings, which we're seeing for the first time, are alternatives to Emblem Rings. They range from C/B/A/S rank, and are obtained via an annoying gacha mechanic (that eats through our premium currency, Bond Fragments), complete with merges, etc. Bond rings grant the wearer a stat boost, and earn them 0.5 SP for every EXP earned (as opposed to the Emblem Rings' 1:1). Some S-rank Bond Rings also grant a passive skill. We get Spur Atk, Spur Res, and Fortify Def from the Alfonse, Sharena and Anna bond rings.

The free weapons (Folkvangr, Fensalir, and Noatun) are like if a steel sword, lance, and axe forewent 5% crit, in exchange for:

5% extra hit rate, and

1 extra might, and

2 less weight.

These are easily among the best early game melee weapons, and they're free both in-game and IRL(*).

Not only that: they all cost less gold to refine than their Steel counterparts, and their ore costs are quite competitive too. Our army doesn't even have Steel weapons yet, so these will be getting some use for sure.

On to the rest of the Somniel! It's a bit empty right now, but there's an orchard with fruit, some Bond Fragments sitting in a grotto, and a little farmyard. A'lear looks at the farmyard, which must have been put there by someone who knew she liked animals... no, too soon, she'll put those feelings aside for later when she's alone. The farmyard is empty... and in the back of her mind, the seed of an idea takes root.

Oh and she finds some horse manure! Maybe that'll be useful later. Better add it to her inventory.

A'lear collapses into bed and is woken up by Framme with a slightly cheeky deja vu prank.

Once per Somniel reset(**), someone wakes A'lear up from her sleep, with some special dialogue depending on their support level. Various dialogue alludes to a duty roster for this.

One assumes A'lear wants these wake-up visits, but considering how much Protagonist Syndrome affects the cast's treatment of her (omfg! the Divine Dragon! what an honour!) it's entirely possible that this is just an excuse for people to come stare at her just like old times. Idk.

But on to business.

Firene is requesting Lythos's aid—this is why Prince Alfred was around in the first place. Across Firene, towns are being attacked by Corrupted. And though it was really Lumera's aid the Firenese wanted, A'lear is Lumera's successor, and she won't shirk in her duties.

Besides, it's time for A'lear to start on her Grand Quest to collect all the Emblem Rings. And one such Ring awaits them at Firene Castle: the Ring of the Caring Princess.

----

(*) The only cost, if you're reading this before 5 April 2023, is downloading a gacha game (which is a mental cost) and connecting it to one's Nintendo account. I already have a poorly maintained FEH account (mutuals, that's 4731965877 🥺👉👈) so this was a no-brainer.

(**) Somniel resets occur after every battle. These refresh all limited activities, and random item drops, and the Ancient Well.

On Maddening, resets occur per world map battle, so no using online Tower of Trials for easy farmyard+support farming. ;_; Even so, it'll be useful to grind Relay Trials for Seals. Those things are scarce and pricey.

On Oct. 20, currency traders saw something that hadn’t happened since June 1990—the Japanese yen to U.S. dollar exchange rate eclipsed 150 to 1.

The yen has seen shocking depreciation over the past year. In January 2021, the rate was 103 to 1, which has been roughly the average exchange rate for the last 30 years. In September 2021, the rate hovered around 110 to 1, and it didn’t surpass 120 until the end of March 2022. But since then, the exchange rate has skyrocketed, only settling back down slightly to 140 to 1, which is about where it sits as of late November. It’s a new status quo for the yen after 30 years of consistency, and economists on both sides of the Pacific say it’s not going back to the old norm any time soon.

“The yen-dollar exchange rate is important to Japan because Japan relies on imports for energy and food,” said Takuya Hoshino, an economics researcher at Dai-ichi Life. “The depreciation of the yen leads to an increased financial burden on households and businesses.” The shift also sinks Japanese wages relative to the dollar, meaning that more Japanese go abroad to work and fewer foreign workers come to Japan. That’s a disastrous trend for Japanese industry, which has been facing severe labor shortages in most major sectors due to a shrinking population and mass migration from rural to urban areas.

On Sept. 22, the Japanese government intervened for the first time in 24 years by buying yen and selling dollars. But a history of failed past interventions is a big reason why the Bank of Japan (BOJ) hasn’t taken aggressive action to defend the yen. “The only time the intervention efforts truly worked was when it was joint interventions with other G-7 nations,” Kathy Lien, a managing director at BK Asset Management, told CNBC. “The Bank of Japan and the Ministry of Finance have a history of failed interventions—we know it; they know it.”

And while Japan’s government and central bank have adamantly opposed too much intervention in the yen, the wide-ranging economic effects of this plummeting exchange rate status quo have hit Japan’s households hard. They also pose serious underlying questions about the path to renewed competitiveness for Japanese businesses and any hope of better wages for workers.

The core policy issue underlying this year’s depreciation comes from the gap between interest rates in the United States and Japan. Lower interest rates encourage borrowing, which stimulates the economy, whereas higher interest rates restrain borrowing but help curb inflation. BOJ Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda has been stubbornly against raising interest rates, whereas in the United States, the U.S. Federal Reserve has raised interest rates from 0.5 percent to 4 percent so far this year.

This interest rate gap has been the topic of much discussion. Bloomberg opinion columnists Daniel Moss and Gearoid Reidy note that raising interest rates would cause Japan’s pile of debt to surge, causing increased spending plans by the government to get thrown out the window and devastating households. As a result, Moss and Reidy argue that the BOJ is wiser to accept the weaker yen.

On the flip side, per journalist Leika Kihara at Reuters, Japanese policymakers are desperate to revive consumer demand and wage growth in 2023 to match inflation. Boosting Japan’s stagnant wages has also been a core policy objective of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Japan to finally see a positive wage-inflation cycle kickoff,” a source familiar with the BOJ told Reuters regarding a potential increase in interest rates.

Atsushi Nakajima, a consulting fellow at Japan’s Research Institute of Economy, Trade, and Industry, told Foreign Policy that interest rates aren’t the only factor in the spiraling yen. “The increase of costs in Japan’s massive imports of energy as well as food plus the deterioration of Japanese industry’s competitiveness compared to American and European businesses are also affecting the weaker yen,” Nakajima said.

In the past, when the yen became weaker, the weak yen supported economic growth by encouraging exports. “But this time,” Nakajima said, “we’re not seeing as much of this effect because Japanese industry has globalized due to the shrinking market in Japan, so [the weak yen] is a much more of a mixed bag of pros and cons for businesses.” Japanese companies that can take home profits in U.S. dollars see their money go further. But Japanese companies that have big costs in imports are seeing those costs surge.

Put simply, Japan’s import sector is suffering, whereas the export sector is benefitting—only not as much as you’d typically expect. The country’s huge automobile industry hasn’t been able to take advantage of the exchange rate because of constraints on acquiring semiconductors and other necessary components due to lingering supply chain issues from the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, other export sectors like information technology and the microprocessor industry have been able to take advantage. The pandemic-hit tourism sector is also a huge winner, with inbound tourists encouraged to visit and spend more money in Japan thanks to a favorable exchange rate.

In a list of pros and cons for a weaker yen, the cons certainly seem to outnumber the pros this time. The growth in purchasing power in Japan hasn’t kept up with a relatively low inflation rate, meaning that real wages are going down. This trend, combined with a weaker yen, results in a lower quality of life for ordinary Japanese people: The cost of goods is rising, wages aren’t, and the yen now purchases way less abroad than it used to. So far, the Japanese government has lessened the blow on households by pouring 3.5 trillion yen into energy and food subsidies, a hefty budgetary investment that can’t last forever.

“Some companies do have ‘inflation allowances’ that allow them to temporarily raise wages to compensate for price hikes,” Hoshino said. “[But] the increase in prices of necessities and energy makes it harder for personal consumption to increase.”

The weak yen further hurts companies by driving away foreign talent. Hundreds of thousands of foreign workers in Japan from countries like Nepal and Vietnam wire money to their home countries and are now struggling to support their families back home. Industries like food processing, agriculture, and manufacturing already heavily rely on foreign laborers, especially in rural areas. The exacerbated wage difference between Japan and other countries with labor market gaps, such as Germany and Australia, poses a real risk to companies that need these workers.

The government budget is also a victim of a sliding yen. A weaker yen means that foreign currency payments on defense equipment are a lot more expensive. The exchange rate also affects public works and infrastructure projects that rely on imported raw materials. And while the Ministry of Finance has funds set aside to compensate for exchange-rate fluctuations, agencies are already struggling to make ends meet, looking to trim low-priority budget items where possible.

Nakajima pointed out that in some ways, Japan’s economic situation is currently better for ordinary consumers than that of most other developed countries. “There is a rebound in demand after the lifting of pandemic lockdowns and restrictions, so we’re seeing pent-up demand affect the economy,” he said. “The Japanese government also just lifted the restriction on inbound travel, which gives an additional stimulus to the economy.” Those factors, along with new government subsidies to promote domestic travel, combine to stimulate the economy at just the right time.

“A historically weak yen plus the fear of geopolitical risk is good timing for Japan,” Nakajima explained. “The government intends to put trillions of yen to advance high-tech industries, so this kind of support of the government can both reduce future risks and provide better possibilities for growth.”

These major investments offer some hope to help begin correcting Japan’s weakened economic competitiveness. However, many of the problems are more structural. Per a recent study by Takeshi Makita at the Japan Research Institute, the biggest factors for Japan’s decline in business competitiveness are slow-to-react management, a lack of enthusiasm for and understanding about digital technology, and a delayed response to globalization.

“The growth of added value, or productivity, in Japan has been weaker for the last 20 years. The result is that many Japanese companies are seeing their profit margins getting reduced, which means that they can’t raise the wage for employees either,” Nakajima said.

“What is required are reforms that improve Japan’s underlying efficiency,” writes Richard Katz, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. “The Kishida administration is set to issue a five-year plan that could do a lot to improve the situation if lofty goals about income distribution and nurturing startups are turned into concrete policies. Unfortunately, recent conversations with policymakers in Tokyo suggest that, while a few of the necessary positive steps will be taken, they will not be nearly enough to turn the ship around.”

With Kuroda’s refusal to nudge interest rates, for better or worse, the weaker yen is here to stay. And although the current situation for Japanese people on the ground isn’t as bad as it could be given the lower yen, a trend that started under former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s famous Abenomics continues: Ordinary people in Japan are simply getting poorer, even as the economy and corporate profits grow overall.

Employment is high, but wages aren’t going up; interest rates are low, but households hoard their savings; the GDP has grown, but productivity has failed to keep up. And now with the plummeting exchange rate, the cost of food and utilities are spiking.

“I don’t foresee a change in the current situation with the yen in the coming months,” Nakajima said. “My interest is in the measures pushed by the government to improve the competitiveness of Japanese industry. That’s what matters more.”

 KSET Economics Syllabus: Comprehensive Guide for Aspiring Educators 

KSET for economics tests candidates over a wide range of economic principles and theories compared to those called for by most teaching and academic positions. A proper understanding of the KSET Economics syllabus will help candidates target their preparation properly, including fundamental and advanced topics in economics. Below is the detailed breakdown of syllabus to help you in preparing better. 

Microeconomics and Macroeconomics 

The KSET Economics syllabus starts with the foundation of both Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. Under the Microeconomics head, you are supposed to study consumer behavior, utility analysis, demand and supply theories, market structures-perfect competition, monopoly, and oligopoly-and price determination. He needs to know the concepts of elasticity and indifference curves and various production functions like Cobb-Douglas production function. 

The topics under the syllabus of Macroeconomics are about national income accounting, Keynesian theory, classical and new classical models, and also modern growth theories. Important topics are GDP, inflation, monetary and fiscal policy, unemployment, and economic fluctuations. All these principles help in analyzing economic performance as well as large-scale issues in the economy. 

Public Economics 

The Public Economics area looks at the role of the government in the economy. It covers public goods, tax principles, budget deficits and beyond, public expenditure, and social welfare policies. Some knowledge of the underpinnings of revenue, public debt, and market interventions by the government, like subsidies and taxes are added elements that should be cleared up with this syllabus. 

International Economics 

The International Economics component encompasses discussions of trade theories and policies, exchange rates, balance of payments, and international economic institutions such as the IMF and World Bank. The examiners would expect the candidate to be conversant with such theories as comparative advantage, Heckscher-Ohlin, and trade barriers in classical and modern trade theories. This aspect also covers foreign exchange markets and the effects of a change in currency on international transactions. 

Development Economics and Growth 

Development Economics involves economic development and issues related to growth in developing countries. These include theories of development, poverty, inequality, population growth, and rural-urban migration. Also, often studied key models are Rostow's Stages of Growth, Lewis's Dual Sector Model, and others. The candidates should also be aware of strategies for reducing poverty, goals of sustainable development, and impacts of education, health, and technology on the economy. 

Indian Economy 

Indian Economy examines the nation's process of economic planning, industrial policy, agricultural policy, and financial sector reforms. It discusses issues surrounding the Five-Year Plans, liberalization and globalization reforms implemented in 1991, current trends in the Indian economy, and its ongoing problems.

Within this context, part of the syllabus involves optimizing techniques as well as economic modeling. Applicants must be able to work with equations, derivatives, and elasticities. 

Many knowledge areas are required in the application of statistics to economics. Hence, questions on regression analysis, hypothesis testing, and the use of probability distributions form another important category. 

Another important area that one needs to know about econometric models is how to apply these models in analyzing economic data or forecasting economic trends. 

Statistics for Economics 

This paper covers statistical techniques as well as data collection, sampling methods, and probability theory. Important topics in this cover central tendencies, correlation, regression, and index numbers. Critical statistical analysis is important to be used in economics as it helps candidates interpret data and make informed economic decisions. 

Preparation Tips for KSET Economics 

A student must master all sections in detail, and there should be emphasis on key theories, models, and real-world application. Using previous year's question papers can also be helpful to aid in practice, as this exposes the candidate to the format of the exam and frequently asked topics. Regular attempts, especially of complex topics such as Econometrics and Mathematical Economics, will help one understand it. 

Conclusion 

The KSET Economics syllabus brings along an array of topics, and hence, candidates must approach each section systematically. With appropriate and consistent preparation and a good understanding of the syllabus, candidates can really brighten up their prospects in the KSET exam.
