The process did not target only the car manufacturers, but rather all industries, while the instruments of actually putting the money to use ranged from fee vouchers to direct stimuli for the businesses. Countries such as Germany or the U.S. put in more money than Britain into stimulating the car industry, important in the overall national economy of these countries and, at the same time, a potential social issue.
However, as the author pointed out, this was not the case in Britain, where the amount of money allocated for boosting supply was significantly lower than in these other comparable economies. The process of exchanging an old car for a new one, referred to as the "car scrappage scheme," was given only 400 million pounds of governmental financial backing. The reason why this happened was that the British government decided to spend much of its available funding to combat the economic recession on the support of the bank, that is, on the support of the supply side rather than on that of the demand side.
Supporting the banks meant that companies could continue to take out loans and, thus, support their investments in the business, into anything from research and development to creating and supporting new markets. However, with a low demand, supply and production would actually be limited, because there would be...
So, the shit in the demand curve did occur in Britain as well (as the graph below shows), but, because of the very low amount of money used for the stimulus, it was a small shift and one that did significantly impact and encourage the rebound of the British economy. As mentioned, the article shows that a greater governmental stimulus produced better results in other economies, where the shift in the demand curve was more visible and where this shift triggered along the coming out of the economic recession.

Policy Extension General Context The company was established in 1886 and since its inception the technology developed by Daimler has revolutionized the automotive industry (Daimler AG, 2014). Daimler's initial product line started with a motor carriage and a three wheeled vehicle. The quality, safety and comfort of Daimler's vehicles have impressed their customers, establishing the standards of the industry. With automotives being a physical product, it is very easy to measure them. Standards

Integrated Public Service Introduction PPPs, as they have come to be popularly referred, are methods of procurement by governments where there is a larger number of stakeholders involving the government, the private sector, and the general public is securing services and, or goods. The model focuses on the delivery of services, products, and infrastructure to the public. The areas under focus transcend a broad span, including water treatment, transportation, health, education, energy,
Elasticity of Demand Demand elasticities in government Elasticity of demand and effect on indirect taxation. Demand elasticities in business Factors that affect the price elasticity of demand In this paper, we discuss the microeconomic concept of elasticity of demand. Elasticity of demand, a term which refers to the responsiveness of the demand of a given commodity to change is very integral for the efficient operation of businesses and the government (Hays and DeLurgio,2008).The concept
(Png; Lehman, 2007) As far as supply is concerned, if one were to assume that all the firms within an industry, like for example, in a government holding, are identical, then a market supply curve would be made up of the supply curves of all the supply curves of the individual producers in the country. (Adams; Periton, 2006) the elasticity of demand therefore measures the responsiveness of the demand to
Price elasticity for this product was likely quite great, before the item was subsidized, as few consumers perceived it as a necessity. Only the costs of production limited the price elasticity, as the tanks are presumably not cheap to build. Of course, the government might protest that the product is a necessity, given the dire need for conservation, if Australia is to continue to have a sustainable source of
