How does the joint implementation in kyoto protocol works? How does the host party's emission cap gets impacted when the implementing party makes any investment?

Example of joint implementation- If germany and USA come together to invest in climate Friendly technologies in either of the two countries..(Like germany and Usa, can implement a project in Usa / Germany). 

It is different from the other two mechanisms listed in kyoto protocol because, both the countries involved here are developed countries mentioned in Annex-2. 

Non annex, developing countries are no where in the picture here.

Statement 1 is correct in my opinion. 

An increase in deposit rates will induce depositors to deposit more, thereby leading to a decrease in Cash to Aggregate Deposit ratio. This will in turn lead to a rise in Money Multiplier.

@Newton981increase in deposit rates means people wil prefer to take advantage of higher interest rates by depositing in banks instead of using it for investment. so money multiplier should decrease

I doubt. CDR is the ratio of cash in hands and balances with the RBI as percentage of aggregate deposits. Cash-Deposit Ratio = (cash in hand + balances with RBI)/Aggregate Deposits (Demand + Time Deposits). MM essentially explains the increase in the amount of cash in circulation generated by the banks ability to lend money out of their depositors funds.

@upsc2020 But isn’t AGI given parliamentary privileges when he is attending session of Parliament or in any Parliamentary committee?
Which could be also for a Twitter India CEO who is asked to come before a Parliamentary committee?


Is AGI also provided arrest for civil cases for 40 days before and after the session of parliament etc. ?

during inflation repo rate is hiked by central bank which in turn results in higher deposit rates thus bringing down inflation by reducing the money multiplier. isnt it?

@D503 as per my understanding, the RBI hikes repo rate ->Banks rate of borrowing increases ->borrowing rates increase for public ->public borrows less ->reduced inflation.

Can someone enlighten me about the membership requirement of international solar alliance ?

They say it is open to all UN Members . They also say that only those countries which lie completely or partially between tropic of cancer and capricon are eligible. 

Is this statement not contradictory ?

@TabsAndChords membership changed from tropical countries to all UN members. I'm not sure about this but voting rights are still with tropical countries only.

AGI is not a private citizen. Several officers are also called on committees, but they are not given privileges. 

All privileges extend to the AGI.

What does MM do? MM measures the effect that a change in banks reserves has on the overall money supply of an economy. 

If my deposit rates increase, I will park more money in the bank. So the bank has more to lend also, which means the money available for spending in the economy is higher.

@Newton981jab log borrow kam krega toh money multiply kese hoga.
Monetary policy transmission works both ways , if rate on deposits increase then banks will increase loan rate as well to keep their profit intact. What explanation have they given in the test?

I read that Desi Ghee contains transfats. My parents make Desi Ghee at home. Is it really unhealthy??? I thought it is safer than the Ghee that we buy from the market.
