In case anyone is getting started on Assignment 2, I wanted to show you how to calculate the ratio of the working-age population to the non-working age population in Excel. I did an example using U.S. data to show you the commands in Excel (attached). The working age is the 15-64 year old group, and the non-working age is the 0-14 group plus the 65 and older group. The ratio is the 15-64 year olds divided by the sum of the 0-14 and 65+ year olds.

I also wanted to warn you that it is possible to have a negative correlation coefficient; a correlation coefficient can be as low as -1 and as high as +1. A coefficient of -1 indicates that the two variables are perfectly negatively correlated: when one goes up, the other goes down.

In this assignment, you will find and analyze data on the birth rate and the ratio of the working- age population to the non-working-age population for China and India. You will compare the countries and whether GDP per capita helps to explain these demographic changes.

Dataset:

World Bank World Development Indicators

http://databank.worldbank.org/data/reports.aspx?so…

Background data collection and analysis:

1. Download birth rate and death rate data for China, India, and Canada starting in the year of the 1960s corresponding to the last digit of your B00 number. For example, if your B00 number ends in 5, collect data starting in 1965; if your B00 number ends in 7, collect data starting in 1967. Find data through the year 2017. Use the series Birth rate, crude (per 1,000 people) and Death rate, crude (per 1,000 people).

2. Construct a figure showing the birth rate of China, India, and Canada on the same chart. Construct a second figure showing the death rate of China, India, and Canada on the same chart.

3. For China and India (separately), calculate the correlation coefficient between the birth rate and GDP per capita (use GDP per capita (constant 2010 US$)), and calculate the correlation coefficient between the death rate and GDP per capita, between your earliest year (selected according to the last digit of your B00 number) and the year 2017.

4. Download data on the working-age population and non-working-age population for China, India, and Canada starting in the year of the 1960s corresponding to the last digit of your B00 number. Find data through the year 2018. Calculate the ratio of the working-age population to the non-working-age population. Use the series Population ages 15-64 (% of total) for the working-age population, and the sum of the two series Population ages 0-14 (% of total) and Population ages 65 and above (% of total) for the non-working-age population.

5. For China and India (separately), calculate the correlation coefficient between the ratio of the working-age population to the non-working-age population and GDP per capita (use GDP per capita (constant 2010 US$)) between your earliest year (selected according to the last digit of your B00 number) and the year 2018.

Essay:

In your essay, describe the demographic changes over time in China and India in the birth rate and the death rate. When did the ratio of the working-age population to the non-working-age population peak? Compare the two countries to each other and to Canada, and discuss whether GDP per capita is associated with changes in demography. What do Bloom and Williamson (1998) suggest will happen to the ratio of the working-age to non-working-age population throughout the demographic transition? Based on this, where do you think China and India are in the demographic transition?

Detailed Instructions:

Your essay must have a title, an introduction, and a conclusion. Make sure to define your terms and provide appropriate background information. A suggested essay structure contains five paragraphs:

•  a first paragraph that briefly introduces the argument you will make in the essay;
•  a second paragraph describing how the birth rate and death rate have changed over time;
•  a third paragraph describing how the working-age to non-working-age ratio has changed over time;
•  a fourth paragraph describing and comparing how well the birth rate, the death rate, and the working-age to non-working-age ratio correlate with GDP per capita in each country, including Bloom and Williamson’s predictions;
•  and a fifth, concluding, paragraph that briefly describes the main points you have made in the essay. The maximum length is 500 words plus a two-page data appendix; include a word count at the end of your submission. Include the grading rubric as the first page of your submission. Use Chicago or APA style, and write in 11- or 12-point font, double-spaced, with one-inch margins. Provide a bibliography listing the references you use, including the class PowerPoints if relevant. You must submit a hard copy (in class) and an electronic copy (on Brightspace) by the deadline. Please note that the electronic copy will be submitted to anti-plagiarism software. Data Appendix:
  The data appendix should include enough detail for the grader to determine that you downloaded the correct data and performed the calculations accurately; if not all of your data fits on two pages, you may decide to include only the first and last years of information. Required charts and figures go into the body of your essay; any supplemental charts and figures should be placed in your data appendix. Penalties:

•  Late submissions: -10 points per day, starting immediately after 4:05 p.m.
•  If you submit only an electronic copy and no hard copy, you will receive a zero on the assignment.
•  If you submit only a hard copy and no electronic copy, you will receive a zero on the assignment.
•  No rubric: -1 point.
•  No data appendix: -2 points.
•  Data appendix over two pages: -1 point for each additional page.

•  No word count: -2 points.
•  Over 500 words: -1 point for each additional 50 words (e.g., -1 for 501 words, -2 for 551 words, etc).

read the UNC handouts on Introductions (Links to an external site.) and Conclusions (Links to an external site.)

read the “How to create a sentence outline”Preview the document and “Sentence outline skeleton”Preview the document documents

read Porket, J. L. (2003). The Pros and Cons of Government Regulation. Economic Affairs Harlow London, (4), 48-54. [available on course reserves]

scan Globalization: A Very Short Introduction, Chapters 4 & 6

conduct research on your agreed-upon area of expertise (either Political or Environmental). A set of resources has been collected for you to use to get started. These resources can be found in the “Pages” section of Canvas, and are credible sources. You may find that your work requires additional research or support. In this case, students must ensure that their sources are credible and up to date.

Purpose

The communication assignments in this course aim to develop communication skills that students will need in their professional lives. Students will study, analyze, and synthesize information and research through independent and group learning contexts, and will use both oral and written communication to do this work. Through these assignments, students will develop skills that will help them excel in their professional endeavors. Targeted skills include: argumentation; analysis; organization; presentation skills; and small group and interpersonal communication skills.

Goals

This assignment has two goals:

to complete research and analysis necessary for plant location decision making

to complete analysis that will be a contributing factor in the final recommendation for plant location in the Executive Summary assignment at the end of this course

Objectives

The objectives of this assignment include: submitting your report to this assignment; organization; research; analysis; argument building; making a case

Overview

You will submit your Expert Report to this assignment.

In your final communication assignment for this course, you will make a recommendation regarding where a new wind turbine manufacturing facility should be built: The United States (Iowa), or Denmark? Your recommendation will be based on the research, analysis, comparison, and decision making that you and your team conduct throughout the semester.

For this assignment, you will take a deep dive into one of the following areas, becoming your team’s expert in that area (you will have already decided each team member’s focus in the first workshop): Politics or Environment. You will research the various aspects of your area for both the United States and Denmark, and make comparisons and conduct analysis that will be key in your team’s final recommendation.

The research and analysis you conduct for this assignment will contribute to your official facility location recommendation at the end of the semester.

Please note: This is NOT a team assignment. Students will conduct independent research and analysis, and will synthesize information and write their own individual reports, using their own brains and thoughts.

Topic Choice

In your first meeting, your team will have decided which team members will focus on which topic: Political or Environmental. Every team must have at least two team members focusing on each topic.

You will find the instructions and requirements for each individual topic in the “Pages” section of Canvas.

Political: Specific Description and Requirements

Environmental: Specific Description and Requirements

Expert Report: Environmental Considerations

Environmental Considerations

Note: there are no group writing assignments in this class, and all written work will be completed independently.

This page describes one of the two focuses you may choose to take for the Expert Report assignment (the other is Political Considerations). Below are the specifications and requirements for fulfilling this assignment, as well as a list of resources you should use for your research. You may also use other sources as you see fit, but you must ensure that they are credible, up to date, and reliable.

Preparation

To prepare for this assignment, students must read:

Cherer, T. (2015). A question of ‘greenness’: Regulatory politics and the EU international environmental policy regime. The Social Contract 10 58-68.

Steger, M. B. (2017). Chapter 6: The ecological dimension of globalization. In Globalization: A very short introduction, (4th ed.) (pp. 62-79). Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press.

Overview

Environmental regulations often play a significant role in how businesses operate and how they fit in with the community in which they are situated. Thus, environmental considerations are often an important factor in plant location decision making.

You will research the environmental considerations described below for both Denmark and the United States, discuss how cultural attitudes may dictate environmental policy, and make a preliminary plant location recommendation based on this specific consideration.

As part of your report, you will need to address the following:

Identify pertinent regulatory bodies for each country and identify their roles and inter-relationships

Identify energy policies for each country and their potential business impacts (both positive and negative)

Develop a comparison of the energy policies of both countries with a focus on the location of a plant in each

Resources

Some resources have been identified and collected for you, and are listed below.

Sources: A minimum of 5 credible sources is required. A collection of credible resources has been made available to you. Those resources, your little textbook (Globalization: A Very Short Introduction), and the introductory readings for this class may all be used as sources for your Expert Report.

You may find that your work requires additional research or support, in which case you must ensure that you use only credible, up-to-date sources. Sources that are found to be outdated or not credible will not be counted as one of your 5 minimum sources.

Analysis: Citing all your sources, present relevant environmental considerations for Denmark and the United States (including a comparison of regulatory bodies and energy policies), discuss how cultural attitudes may dictate environmental policy, and make a preliminary plant location recommendation based on these specific considerations. Guide us through the logic that leads to your conclusion/recommendation for a plant location.

Your organization must be clear and easy to navigate.

You must use headings and subheadings as appropriate.

You must include in-text citations for all sources used.

Citations must be formatted correctly according to the style decided on by your team (APA, or MLA).

Visuals: Include graphs, charts, or figures that help aid in the communication and understanding of complex issues or ideas, or that help readers visually situate information.

You must include at least one visual

The visual must be relevant and labeled properly, with a title and axes labels.

It should appear in an appropriate place in the body of your report.

See the resource on creating successful graphics under “Pages.”

Introduction and Conclusion: Your Expert Report must include an introduction and conclusion.

The introduction must include a thesis of your main idea, which ultimately informs your recommendation. Your thesis should be a one- to two-sentence statement about the main environmental and cultural considerations in each country that would affect a plant location.

The conclusion should include a recommendation that offers clear reasoning and justification.

This recommendation will be based only on your area of expertise and will not be used as the recommendation for the executive summary. However, your recommendation and justifications here should be used as part of your team’s decision-making process.

Works cited page: Citations must be formatted correctly according to the style decided on by your team (APA, or MLA).
