AEAweb: What Is Economics? Economics is the study of how people choose to use resources. Resources include the time and talent people have available, the land, buildings, equipment, and other tools on hand, and the knowledge of how to combine them to create useful products and services. Important choices involve how much time to devote to work, to school, and to leisure, how many dollars to spend and how many to save, how to combine resources to produce goods and services, and how to vote and shape the level of taxes and the role of government. Often, people appear to use their resources to improve their well-being. Well-being includes the satisfaction people gain from the products and services they choose to consume, from their time spent in leisure and with family and community as well as in jobs, and the security and services provided by effective governments.

Getting Things Done Getting Things Done, in het algemeen afgekort tot GTD, is een actiegebaseerde managementmethode, en de titel van een boek door David Allen. GTD is gebaseerd op het principe dat een persoon door zijn taken vast te leggen zich over die taken geen zorgen hoeft te maken. Het moeten herinneren van alle taken maakt plaats voor het daadwerkelijk uitvoeren van de taken.

Pilot Pick-Up Review (ABC) – 2011-2012 Season Development season is right now, and with the scripts picked to pilot about to be shot, the next best thing besides watching the finished product is reading them. As well as reviewing them. I’ll also venture a guess as to whether I think they’ll go to series or not (all of which is announced as usual at the Upfronts). So here goes. Let’s start with ABC, land of the soap and female viewership. This season, they’re definitely trying to go a little more male-skewing while cashing in on the family comedy genre.

Canceled TV Shows Get a Digital Afterlife In the world of television, getting canceled doesn’t mean what it used to. The four major U.S. networks have unveiled 31 shows for the 2012-2013 season that begins this fall. Not all will survive. Among the most recent casualties: In mid-May, the short-lived CBS (CBS) medical drama A Gifted Man got the ax after failing to win viewers. Others such as ABC’s Desperate Housewives made a graceful exit following an eight-season run.

Migration and Economic Growth By: Carlos Vargas Silva, Senior Researcher and Quantitative Data Analyst, Migration Observatory A government is deemed ‘successful’ if national GDP growth is strong. A country is said to be on the right track if it is growing faster than other countries. GDP growth has become a gauge of what is good and bad, for success and failure.

Ten Great Ad Agencies Of 2012 Sometimes it takes more than a village. Grey Advertising, the giant ad agency which once splintered itself into a collection of small “villages” in an attempt to capture some lightning in a bottle, took top honors as the best all around ad agency of 2012 in a quantitative online survey conducted among agency search consultants, by marketing and search firm Avidan Strategies. It is the first such survey in which the consultants, who have unique firsthand knowledge of agencies, ranked them. This accolade points to Grey’s transformation with impressive creative credentials which started with the arrival at the shop of Tor Myhren five years ago as its creative director (Myhren since added the title of president as well). Together with Global CEO Jim Heekin, Myhren succeeded in sprucing up the staid 95-year old shop known more for strong account management than award-winning advertising, with famous work such as the E-Trade Baby, and the Charlie Sheen commercial for DirecTV.
