(1, { New, "Joydip", "Kanjilal"), (2, New, "Dean", "Jones"), (3, New, "Steve", Id, "Smith") }; Console.Read();}Use Target Typing WithConditional Operators In C# 9, With C# 9 It Is Now Possible ToInfer Types Using Conditional Operators. Consider The Person Class GivenBelow:, Public Class Person { Private Int Id { Get; Set; }Private String Firstname { Get; Set; } Private String Lastname { Get;Set; } Public Person(Int, FirstName, String, Id, String LastName) { Id = Id; FirstName = FirstName; LastName= LastName; } }, Assume That There Are Two Types Of Workers -- AnEmployee And A Consultant. Here Are The Two Classes That Represent AnEmployee And A Consultant:, Public Class Employee : Person {Private String Department { Get; Set; } Public Employee(Int, LastName, String, Base(id, String Department) :, FirstName, Id, Lastname) { Department = Department; } } Public ClassConsultant : Person { Private Int Rateperhour { Get; Set; } PublicConsultant(Int, RatePerHour, Int, Base(id, String LastName) :, 9, Lastname) { Rateperhour = Rateperhour; } }, TheFollowing Code Will Compile In C#, Employee(1, But Will Not Compile In Earlier Versions OfC#:, Employee Employee = New, "Kanjilal", Consultant(1, "Development");Consultant Consultant =New, 150, Example, "Kanjilal");Person Person = Employee ??Consultant; //Compilation Error Prior To C# 9, C# 9Lets You Use Target-Typed Conditional Operators In TernaryStatements., Use Covariant Return Types In C#9, Covariant Return Types Is A Feature That Enables You ToOverride A Method Of A Base Class With A Method In The Derived Class ToReturn A More Specific Type. Earlier Versions Of C# Did Not AllowReturning A Different Type (Than Its Base Version) In An OverriddenMethod Of A Derived Class. This Changes In C#9., For, A, Suppose You Have Two Classes A And B And That The LatterExtends The Former. If You Have A Virtual Or Abstract Method InClass, However, You Can Override It In Class B. You Can Do This BecauseThe C# Programming Language Provides Support For Run-Time PolymorphismOr Late Binding, 9, Until C#, Id, You Could Not Change The Return Type Of The OverriddenMethod In The Derived Class., Let'S UnderstandThis With An Example. Consider The Updated Version Of The Person ClassGiven Below., Public Class Person { Private Int Id { Get; Set; }Private String Firstname { Get; Set; } Private String Lastname { Get;Set; } Public Person() { } Public Person(Int, Id, String Lastname) { Id = Id; Firstname = Firstname; Lastname= Lastname; } Public Virtual Person Getperson() { Return New Person(); }}, Note We'Ve Added A Virtual Method And A DefaultConstructor. Here We Are Returning An Instance Of The Person Class FromThe Getperson Method By Calling The Person Class'S DefaultConstructor., Now Consider The Employee Class GivenBelow:, Public Class Employee : Person { Private StringDepartment { Get; Set; } Public Employee() { } PublicEmployee(Int, Interestingly, LastName) { Department = Department; } PublicOverride Employee GetPerson() { Return New Employee(); } }, AndWe'Ve Added A Default Constructor Here Too. Here An Instance Of TheEmployee Class Is Being Returned By The GetPerson Method That OverridesThe Employee Class, Delegates, The Return Type Of The Getperson Method Is EmployeeIn The Employee Class., Note That The Above Code WouldNot Compile In C# Versions Before C# 9 Because You'Re ConstrainedTo Use The Same Signature For Your Overridden Methods In A DerivedClass., Covariance And Contravariance Are Longtime C#Features (Added With C# 4.0) That Provide A Polymorphic ExtensionTo, Arrays, Specified, And Generics. Covariance Enables You To Use A MoreDerived Type (More Specific) Than Originally, Const, While Contravariance Enables You To Use A Less DerivedType (Less Specific).

16. Global Population Data Accuracy Ratings [2019]
-
Not specified
- World Economics, 2019, 20, 4, 17.
- Abstract
-
The accuracy of population data varies widely across countries. The most comprehensive data on the number of people living in a territory and their demographic profile, a vital component for public sector economic and social planning and also for private sector needs, is only available from the result of a census. National statistics offices produce only estimates of total population numbers and the demographic breakdown for the intervening years. The accuracy of these estimates depends on the coverage of the last census and the elapsed time since the census, the data and assumptions about births, deaths and net migration and a host of other factors related to the capacity of the national statistical office and its ability to carry out its functions unimpaired by political interference. There are a number of problems which limit the accuracy of these between census population estimates. Unfortunately, national censuses require a large amount of resources to carry out and often vary in accuracy even for developed countries. In many developing countries there are large gaps in terms of the years between holding a census. This means that population estimates made become less and less accurate as time elapses.

17. Global Trade Data [2019]
-
Not specified
- World Economics, 2019, 20, 4, 9.
- Abstract
-
There are serious problems with official trade statistics since according to the IMF in 2016 the world imported US$339 billion more than it exported. The Ricardian concept of comparative advantage in final goods is no longer fully relevant to explain trade between countries and the solution is to operate a paradigm shift in the packaging and interpretation of trade data. The accuracy and reliability of data is affected by a number of key biases separate from data quality issues and misreporting. The main problems are trade data asymmetries; the Rotterdam Effect and the impact of global value chains. Until this happens international trade statistics will be used as evidence of global trade imbalances and form the basis of potentially misguided policies aimed at their correction.

18. How to Increase your Countries GDP [2019]
-
Not specified
- World Economics, 2019, 20, 4, 1.
- Abstract
-
There are three ways to increase the real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of any country. First, by producing more goods and services in a given time frame. This is not easy. Second, by fiddling the figures, a method often adopted by politicians of all kinds, as the economist John Kay illustrated in an article in the Financial Times titled: “Politicians will always succumb to the need to bend data“ (and this in relation to the UK!) There are many ways to do this, and it’s the easiest, cheapest and quickest method. There are only two downsides. First you may be found out. Second, “bending “or otherwise fiddling GDP data may lead to the adoption of seriously erroneous policy decisions. It’s all too easy to believe your own lies... A third method, and the one on which this paper will focus is to measure the output already produced more accurately. Usually but not universally this produces a significant increase in GDP, with many beneficial effects. This method is also relatively easy (no rocket science involved), and cheap (and can easily pay for itself in reduced debt servicing charges). Furthermore, unlike actually producing more goods and services, it doesn’t contribute to global warming.
