Abstract: Economists are more powerful than is commonly realized. How can such a powerful bunch of people bypass popular mandate as represented by elections in a democracy? Of course, one might make artificial distinction between positive economics and normative economics. However in reality there is much overlap between positive economics and normative economics. When there is so much debate on how central bank head is unelected, when the person is responsible for monetary policies of nation, there should be an equal debate on how economists anywhere - academia, corporates, government – can bypass popular mandate as determined by elections in a democracy..

Abstract: Common knowledge in financial statement analysis says that an increase in operating liabilities is a 'bad' thing. Based on the analysis of typical operating processes and empirical analysis, I show that the opposite is often true. An increase in operating liabilities-to-sales ratio provides timely and highly positive information about a firm' knowledge on its product market demand conditions. This information is not captured by other accounting measures, such as changes in current operating assets. Empirical evidence shows that, for firms without liquidity problems, an increase in operating liabilities-to-sales ratio forecasts a strong increase in future sales and profit margin, even after controlling for various other factors..

Abstract: Accurate internal vehicle sales forecasts for multinational automobile organizations (MAO) are vital to production planning as both overproduction and underproduction can ruin the bottom line if they do not match consumer demand.

There is intense competition for global market share between MAOs in areas such as innovative technology, branding, and total global vehicle sales. As international supply chains have become more volatile since the onset of the global pandemic and semiconductor.......
