Public participation is important for each of the following reasons except
- A.
Decision-making competency improves
- B.
The legitimacy of the decision increases
- C.
The decision-making process is speeded up
- D.

Correct Answer
C. The decision-making process is speeded upExplanation
Public participation is important for several reasons, including improving decision-making competency, increasing the legitimacy of decisions, and fostering responsible democratic citizenship. However, the statement that the decision-making process is sped up is not a valid reason for the importance of public participation. In fact, public participation often involves more deliberation and discussion, which can slow down the decision-making process but ultimately leads to more informed and inclusive decisions.Rate this question:

A bottom-up process involves involving various stakeholders at the local level to define and prioritize needs. Collective leadership and innovative decision-making involve multiple stakeholders coming together to make decisions. A coalition of partners and groundswell of support also implies the involvement of multiple stakeholders. Negotiated rule-making and policy dialogue involve engaging different stakeholders in the decision-making process. Lastly, consensus-building and dispute resolution require the participation of multiple stakeholders to reach an agreement. Therefore, all of these options indicate multi-stakeholdership.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a 'virtue' of free markets?
- A.
'motivation'
- B.
'efficiency'
- C.
'productivity''
- D.
Equity'
- E.
'diverse consumer choices'
Correct Answer
D. Equity'Explanation
Equity is not considered a virtue of free markets because free markets prioritize efficiency and productivity over equal distribution of resources. In a free market system, individuals and businesses are free to pursue their own self-interest, which can lead to unequal outcomes. While free markets can create wealth and increase overall prosperity, they often result in income inequality and disparities in access to resources and opportunities. Therefore, equity is not a core principle or virtue of free markets.Rate this question:

Which of the following data-sets is least needed in Economic Area Analysis?
- A.
Population forecasts
- B.
Employment trends
- C.
Income levels
- D.
Cohort survival
- E.
Poverty incidence of households
- F.
Gross sales of registered enterprises
Correct Answer
D. Cohort survivalExplanation
Cohort survival is the least needed dataset in Economic Area Analysis because it refers to the tracking of a specific group of individuals over time to determine their survival rates. While this information may be useful for other purposes, such as demographic studies or healthcare planning, it is not directly relevant to analyzing economic trends and conditions within a specific area. The other datasets, such as population forecasts, employment trends, income levels, poverty incidence of households, and gross sales of registered enterprises, provide more relevant and actionable information for economic analysis.Rate this question:

Following Rostow's theory, as an economy develops, a smaller percentage of workforce tends to be employed in
- A.
Agriculture, because industrialization decreases the value of rural land
- B.
Agriculture, because investment in technology increases yieid per unit effort and decreases labor demand
- C.
industry, because the profit from extracting natural resources increases
- D.
industry, because productivity increases as labor costs rise
- E.
Services, because technology increases efficiency in the provision of services
Correct Answer
B. Agriculture, because investment in technology increases yieid per unit effort and decreases labor demandExplanation
According to Rostow's theory, as an economy develops, there is a decrease in the percentage of the workforce employed in agriculture. This is because investment in technology increases yield per unit effort and decreases the demand for labor in agriculture. As technology improves, farmers can produce more with less labor, leading to a smaller workforce needed in the agricultural sector. This allows for a shift of labor towards other sectors such as industry or services, which contribute to the overall development of the economy.Rate this question:
