TULISAN 8 "Harga BBM Bersubsidi Dipastikan Tak Naik Tahun Ini"

Harga BBM Bersubsidi Dipastikan Tak Naik Tahun Ini

Wacana kenaikan harga BBM merupakan sebuah wacana yang sangat disayangkan oleh berbagai pihak, terutama masyarakat. Namun tahun ini pemerintah lebih memilih mengendalikan bahan bakar minyak (BBM) bersubsidi dengan mengurangi volume, bukan dengan menaikkan harga. Hal ini berbeda dengan tahun lalu, ketika pemerintah mengendalikan anggaran subsidi BBM dengan menaikkan harga BBM bersubsidi. Hal ini dipertegas dengan pernyataan dari Menteri Keuangan Chatib Basri menegaskan lebih memilih untuk mengurangi volume BBM bersubsidi dibandingan menaikan harga BBM, dilihat dari keadaaan politik saat ini yang sedang tidak kondunsif.

Tulisan 5 "The Economics Of Free"

The Economics Of Free

One of the most interesting and unique economic phenomenon to emerge over the last 10 years is the impact of technology in creating products that are free to the consumer. The most unique aspect of this business model is that it generates tremendous profits for those who know how to use it correctly. However, the rapid acceleration of technology has enabled a business model centered around offering products, services, and content that is free to the end consumer. The cost per unit of computing power effectively drops in half every 18 months. This means that the cost of providing a product or service to an individual customer rapidly drops to very near zero. Thus, companies who have already built out a technology infrastructure can provide products and services at a very nominal cost. The thing that enables this model is the freedom from content containers such as books, DVD’s, phones, tablets, or some other device for holding or storing content. By specializing in software based technology products, companies can capture all of the cost advantages offered by Moore’s Law without being constrained by the cost of containers for their content. For example Google creates free access. This model is very similar to traditional television, but offers the ability for advertisers to narrow down their customer base much more finely than is available through the broad-brush of television advertisement. An adjacent business model that has spawned from this paradigm that is quickly challenging the traditional model of using copyright protection to restrict content distribution. In this model, you capture value not by marketing to customers in hopes that they will buy, but by attracting customers to you because of superior content and capturing value through relationships with advertisers and affiliates that pay a commission for access to customers who have been pre-qualified by accessing your content. The opportunity for web marketers comes from creating outstanding content that is appropriately optimized for search visibility to draw customers to your website, then sell access to that population of customers to advertisers and affiliates. In the end, this phenomenon of ‘free’ is continuing to shape the online marketplace and is expected to produce the infrastructure for even more new business models to emerge in the future. It represents a new paradigm that will pose tremendous problems to people and companies entrenched in the status quo and great opportunities to those who understand and leverage this new business model.

According to the investors, the high-ceilinged oil price has come up with positive news for the U.S. economy. The Automatic Data Processing reported that the service industries got plenty of benefits. As a result of soaring oil prices, Benchmark crude rose by 32 cents to end the day at $92.51 per barrel in New York, while Brent crude lost 20 cents to finish at $109.34 a barrel in London. As a result of alteration in oil price, Benchmark crude mounted 20% higher in 2010. Hence, the economy is losing its importance on the commodity market. If the economy stays standstill, then the central bank assures to take a leap step. Another point to note down here is that the demand for distillate supplies that include diesel and heating oil dropped enormously. However, the demand for distillate supplies, especially in foreign countries resulted to increase in export. In North America and U.S. industries, many energy companies are expanding oil and natural gas drilling operations. The retail price on diesel has increased 80.1 cents higher per gallon. Its price will keep on rising because of the existing market scenario. The price of gasoline is soaring at $4 per gallon. However, a gallon of regular oil is available at reasonable rate.

Tulisan 3 "The Effect Of Gas Price On The Economy"

The Effect Of Gas Price On The Economy

The USA consumes 400 million gallons of gasoline every day which has pushed gas prices to record highs, and having an all-pervasive and on-balance a damaging effect on the US economy. This makes that most motorists in the USA/Canada are shopping around to find the best deals on gas, but are still paying a lot more for it. High gas prices make people stop and think about their commute. This will affect the US economy. Analysts were predicting a gallon of regular to climb as high as $4.50 a gallon in California by Easter 2011. The effects of such big cost hikes will reduce available spending money for all those on average wages and below who need to travel significant distances in their cars, and this will further depress the US economy. Cars now are more fuel-efficient than they were in the 90s, so car owners can reduce your spending on gas by choosing fuel efficient vehicles. This will tend to raise car imports to the detriment of the US economy until the US manufacturers catch-up. It is not all bad news though. Companies that own oilfield reserves will be seeing the value of their resources growing, and businesses that are connected with the renewable energy market are growing rapidly right across the range of renewable energy sources from wind, to thermal energy, and of course that most popular of renewable sources which is solar. Renewable energy companies are growing fast and employing increased numbers of staff.
