From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In grammar, the comparative is the form of an adjective or adverb which denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing, or other entity has a property or quality greater or less in extent than that of another, and is used in this context with a subordinating conjunction, such as than, as...as, etc. If three or more items are being compared, the corresponding superlative needs to be used instead. StructureThe structure of a comparative in English consists normally of the positive form of the adjective or adverb, plus the suffix -er, or (in the case of polysyllabic words borrowed from foreign languages) the modifier more (or less/fewer) before the adjective or adverb. The form is usually completed by than and the noun which is being compared, e.g. "He is taller than his father", or "The village is less picturesque than the town nearby". Than is used as a subordinating conjunction to introduce the second element of a comparative sentence while the first element expresses the difference, as in "Our new house is larger than the old one", "There is less water in Saudi Arabia than in the United States", "There are fewer people in Canada than in California."

Q. China's Natural Resources. Explain how the items might result in an absolute or comparative advantage for the country. Asked by Emily - Tue Sep 23 22:04:09 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. A country is said to have an absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if they are able to make it at a lower cost than another country. For example, if it costs $20 to make a chair in USA, but only $12 to make the same chair in China, then we would say that the Chinese economy has an absolute advantage in the production of that chair. Therefore we should allow people in China to make these chairs, as the finished product will be cheaper for consumers. If all international trade followed this theory, then production would increasingly be isolated in countries with low wages. Only highly specialised items would be able to be produced in countries with high wages. This would result in lower overall world production, which… [cont.] Answered by Ravii - Wed Sep 24 01:27:23 2008 What would be a good research question for a Comparative Politics class? Q.

Answered by g - Wed Jan 20 12:31:25 2010 What type return should be expected from a managed mutual fund portfolio relative to a comparative index?
Q. Not even sure the question makes sense and have a limited knowledge of how investments work. My quarterly statement from an account with an investment advisor shows my rate of return in a diversified mutual fund portfolio for a 5 year period and it's always lower than a comparative index. 5 points lower for the current year and less than one for the 5 year period. Net of 12.94 for the 5 years is good but should I be getting better from the advisor? Question may be too vague to answer but wanted thoughts from those more knowledgable on investing. Thank you. Asked by David L - Tue Aug 7 10:40:50 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. OK, the general principle is that you will underperform the index by the amount of fees you are paying. But because fund returns go up and down and some funds are lucky and some unlucky, that is only a general principle. This is why index funds are great. They are low-cost and tax efficient and underperform the market by their expense ratio (internal management fees). Over time, 80% of managed funds underperform the companion index fund. If you didn't pay loads or a higher expense ratio or 12b-1 fees, that number would be much different. Here's a shocking example. I was comparing returns for a VUL - which is a high expense insurance police and also an investment (has mutual funds in it). I compared the return on the S & P 500 fund in… [cont.] Answered by Annie - Tue Aug 7 10:56:47 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "comparative" |
