Typically, the government refers to a civil government which can be either local, national, or international. However, commercial, academic, religious, or other formal organizations are also governed by internal bodies. Such bodies may be called boards of directors, managers, or governors or they may be known as the administration (as in schools) or councils of elders (as in churches). The size of governments can vary by region or purpose. Growth of an organization advances the complexity of its government, therefore small towns or small-to-medium privately-operated enterprises will have few officials compared to larger organizations such as multinational corporations which will have multiple interlocking, hierarchical layers of administration and governance. As complexity increases and the nature of governance becomes more complicated,so does the need for formal policies and procedures. Public sector governance is studied as Public Administration while that in the private sector is studied as Business Administration. The concept of government has been around since humanity itself where hunter-gatherers would commonly establish tribes high authority and have unique ideals. However, government is not limited to the human species itself as many animals establish groups such as ants, lions, and bees. Although, a common trait of animals, specifically mammals and colony insects are a social caste that may work in a governmental way. From Wikipedia under the

The third one indicates a deficit not due to government spending. The third one would have more of an impact on the economy so I would say the third one would indicate what you had asked.

It would help to explain the government. Was it a communist type of government? Thanks. Asked by Tha #1 Prodigy - Mon Feb 9 20:45:53 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Japan had 2 incidents just before WW2 which meant the military got power over government. The military killed Prime Minister and wanted Emperor to get initiative. However, it meant the military would get initiative over Japan. Emperor was just a puppet ruler cuz he was raised with the policy "the Emperor reigns, but doesn't govern." He did not have any right to govern without Minister of State's autograph. It is said that not only citizens but also even Emperor could not go against military at that time. If people protested against war, they were called like "the unpatriotic" and they were arrested or killed by military. So it was the military who wanted to invade other countries. Maybe it was like present North Korea.

Q. Calculate the GDP gap if in an economy the unemployment rate is 9.5%, MPC = .9, and the Full employment GDP = $10,800. Calculate the regular expenditure multiplier and the net tax multiplier. How much money should the government spend in government expenditures to eliminate this gap? Asked by tiPtRaN - Thu Jan 17 02:17:16 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The regular expenditure multiplier (assuming a closed economy and lump sum taxes) is: 1/(1-MPC) ==> 10 The tax multiplier (again assuming a closed economy and lump sum taxes): -MPC/(1-MPC) ==> -.9/.1 = -9 As for the gap, according to Okun's law, unemployment will be 1% point above the natural rate for every 3% that output is below potential output. I can't tell from the question what the to assume for the unemployment rate at full employment. To keep things simple I'll use the Beveridge estimate of 3% structural unemployment. If you're using the NAIRU, you would choose 0%. Therefore, 9.5% unemployment is 6.5% above the potential rate. This imples a 19.5% gap between full employment GDP and actual GDP. The gap is therefore .195 x… [cont.] Answered by Anon_204 - Sun Jan 20 02:37:34 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "government"  news.google.com Dallas Morning News In case you missed it, wfaa's Brad Watson had a report yesterday on Gov.
