Answer to Question 1

In this case, the United States makes a two billion dollars capital transfer to Argentina, which should appear as a negative two billions entry in the capital account. The associated credit is in the financial account, in the form of a two billion dollars reduction in U.S. assets held abroad, i.e., a net asset export, and therefore a positive balance of payments entry.

Answer to Question 2

Risk aversion is a characteristic of a person that dislikes risk. An example of this is someone who takes out rental or home insurance to reduce the risk of some kind of catastrophe from happening.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
