DQ #1: Suppose that Alpha and Omega have identically sized working-age populations but that total annual hours of work are much greater in Alpha than in Omega. Provide three possible reasons, sourced in demand and supply theory, for the difference using the Buffett (2003) and Bhide (2004) articles as the framework (context) for your reasoning(s). Consult the first-class handout, the APA/MLA Formatting and Style Guides, and the Written Presentation Grading Rubric, which are posted in the Module Timeline for definition of what constitutes a substantive writing and preparing your responses. Do not use texting abbreviations, acronyms, grammar, or spelling in preparing and posting your responses and comments. Provide in-text citations and reference/works-cited lists, as appropriate.
