Answer to Question 1

This curve shows the effect of increased per capita income on environmental damage. It has an inverted U shape that indicates that increased per capita income first increases and then decreases environmental damage.

Answer to Question 2

True. The global financial crisis that started in 2008, although commonly blamed on the U.S. quickly spread to all economies in the world. Although overt global policy coordination was not practiced, countries followed similar policies to escape the crisis, such as decreasing interest rates and providing funds to financial institutions to help stimulate lending.
