...U.A.E: The Success Story The emergence of the UAE as an economic powerhouse is an example of a country going through a tremendous transformation. From a tiny country with a nomadic society to building the most modern city in the world. The city being Dubai of course. Dubai is the crown jewel of the UAE and the arab world as a whole. Now one of the most sought-after tourist destinations and business hubs for citizens of the world, Dubai’s success story has made many other Middle Eastern nations take notice. In a survey done by the Arab Youth organization, young arabs chose the UAE as “the country they would most like to move to… and the country they would most like their country to emulate” (Badam). The UAE was ahead of 20 other countries, including the United States, Germany and Britain, as young people’s top country to live in. What led to the UAE’s astronomical rise? What policies led to the resources from oil revenues being spent in the most efficient fashion in comparison to other nations? These are the questions I will tackle in this paper. The UAE was established in 1971 when the rulers of the seven independent emirates agreed to instill a unifying constitution. The ruler of Abu Dhabi at the time , Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, was chosen to lead the country. Since then, the ruler of Abu Dhabi is President of the United Arab Emirates, the head of state, and the ruler of Dubai is the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, the head of government. This historic...

The country can also be viewed as one that has a liberal market philosophy and which comprises small amounts of corruption in most of the public sectors. Capitalism refers to a system of raising, spending and conserving a given set of monetary value in a given market. Under this economic system, there are three key markets that are the money or financial market, the labor market and the product market. Labor providers are paid wages and salaries depending on the nature of employment. They make products that are sold by the firms, companies and corporations to the consumers. Money market is involved in both the supply and demand for money. Money supply is mostly undertaken by the central banks of various countries while demand is determined by the speculative transaction and precautionary motives respectively. The money market operates...

Elasticity is concern to two major economic factors without no economy can survive, which are Demand and Supply because if we are not familiar with the demand and supply how can we come to know that how much demand of a particular item needs in the market and how much supply have to prepare to earn the revenue or maximum profit. Therefore, first, the theoretical concept of elasticity regarding demand and supply will be explained and then it will be applied on UAE economy. Body: Theoretical Concept of Elasticity Elasticity can be defined as the degree of responsiveness in quantity demanded and quantity supplied in order to changes in price or to one of its determinants. These are some terms relating to measure the elasticities in term of demand and supply: Price elasticity of demand, Arc elasticity of demand, Income elasticity of demand, Cross elasticity of demand, Price elasticity of supply (Gans, 2011). Price Elasticity of Demand: It can be stated as to what extent or to what degree, quantity demanded changes as an outcome of a change in price is called elasticity of demand. If we divide the marginal demand function by the average demand function (Gans, 2011), we will get elasticity of demand. Mathematically representation: Measurements of Elasticity of Demand (E) There are three methods adopted to measure the Elasticity of Demand 1. Total Quality Method This...
