Discusses major factors incl. British rule. Diversification, modernization & industrialization. Political aspects & impact. Paper Introduction: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF CANADA AND INDIA (1700-1970s) This research paper summarizes and compares the historical development of the Canadian and Indian economies during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries (through the 1970s) and discusses the major factors which facilitated or impeded progress. In the 20th century Canada emerged as a major, sophisticated and balanced industrial economy with high per capita income. The foundations of growth were laid in previous centuries. Canada's precarious early settlement survived due to assistance from its rival mercantilist mother countries, France, and, after 1763, Great Britain. Its ties to Britain's dynamically expanding domestic and foreign trade economy resulting from the commercial revolution of the 18th century and the industrial revolution of the 19th century enabled Eastern Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Introduction: ASIAN ECONOMIC “MELTDOWN” AND “REBOUND” Introduction and Argument This paper is an examination of the Southeast Asia economic crisis, referred to in some business reports as “meltdown.” Whether that is actually the case, or whether the term “meltdown” is simply the product of a headline writer’s attempt at immortality remains to be seen. However, Tabb (1998), a usually prescient observer, observed “The Asian financial meltdown, when it reached front-page proportions in late 1997, was rightly called the most serious of any we have had since the 1930s. A mountain of paper assets - estimated at more than a trillion dollars - was swept aside” (Tabb, 1998, 24).

Paper Abstract: Magnitude of problem. IMF & World Bank. Country problems focusing on Ivory Coast. Influ9ence of African debt on international politics. Need to resolve debt crisis. Paper Introduction: Introduction Technological innovation and changes in economic systems throughout the world have resulted in debt becoming a staple of economic life at nearly every level of the world's economies. Individual debt in the United States, for example, has reached levels which cause concern among some analysts. Companies regularly weigh the advantages of financing through debt or equity issues. Entire countries take on debt to finance infrastructure growth, or merely to meet more fundamental obligations. Whether experienced at the macroeconomic level or microeconomic level, debt can carry with it considerable problems. Any borrower, whether an individual, company or nation, must repay not only the principal (the amount borrowed), but also the interest that accrues. In some debt situations, the borrower is able to repay o Read the Entire Essay.

Relation to political unstability; reforms; European Community impact. Paper Introduction: ITALY: A LAGGARD NO MORE? Italy, both economically and politically, has seen some tumultuous times. Since the close of World War II, Italy has managed to get through more than 45 governments, four of which have collapsed in the past six years. In these post-war years, the Italian economy has been no more stable than the government- as Italy has undergone an economic shift away from a system based on agriculture and towards a more industrialized economy, North-South divides have been created that persist into the present day (Geographic, 1999). Historically speaking, the political plight of Italy has been bound up in its economy. As in most nations, political stability is intrinsically linked to economic stability. Within the construct of the European Community, Italy’s economic situation has often Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Introduction: Introduction Over the past 20 years, there has been a proliferation of business news services. Once relegated to only a few minutes on nightly newscasts, business news has expanded to fill sections of newspapers, garner daytime cable coverage, and prompt analysis which fills significant segments in the daily lives of many Americans. Along with information about the stock market, interest rates and inflation, Americans regularly receive data about the current account and trade deficit. While these numbers are broadcast as though all listeners and viewers understood their ramifications to the American economy as a whole, there is actually a great deal of debate about the current account deficit. This research examines the definition of the current account, what the deficit can indicate about the American economy, and what the impa Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Development from 1980s to 1999; factors that influenced it (politics, reform, globalization), pre-l980s history. Paper Introduction: RECENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF TURKEY This research paper discusses the course of Turkey's economic development since the mid-1980s and the factors which have influenced it. Since the end of World War II, the Turkish economy has grown at an average annual rate of approximately five percent per annum, about double the rate of population growth; however, that growth has been highly irregular, reflecting periods of substantial prosperity coupled with episodic and recurring bouts of financial and political crisis. That growth, which has been mirrored by a lesser but still substantial improvement in per capita income, was largely stimulated by state-led intervention in the economy. Beginning in the early 1980s, Turkey began de-emphasizing the role of the state in the economy and adopted measures of structural adjustment and free Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines arguments presented by Charles Kindleberger in his book, THE WORLD DEPRESSION: 1929-1939. He argues that extent of Great Depression was due to British inability & US unwillingness, to assume responsibility for stabilizing international economy. Paper Introduction: The Role of Political Factors in the Severity of the Great Depression Charles Kindleberger, in The World in Depression: 1929-1939, has essentially argued that there is no single explanatory cause for the Great Depression. However, he has stressed the fact that the reason the 1929 downturn was so wide, so deep, and so long was because the international economic system was rendered unstable due to British inability and U.S. unwillingness to assume responsibility for stabilizing it (Kindleberger, 1973, pp. 291-308). Thus, Kindleberger introduces into the cauldron of conflicting interpretations of the causes of the Great Depression the international political dimension: the appropriate leadership role of a great nation in Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Reviews possibility of an appropriate model for discussing development in East Asia. Focus is on Japan, Taiwan, & Korea. Paper Introduction: East Asian Development Introduction One of the characteristics of human cognition is the tendency to attempt to place things in categories or to create models to cover many different kinds of situations. Rather than deal with each experience or situation as an individual and unique occurrence, the human brain works to simplify the world by reducing the number of events that it has to analyze or deal with. Sometimes this is appropriate and helpful. In other instances, the tendency to categorize can become nonproductive stereotyping or a false association of situations that are unlike.

Reviews factors including: Wall Street Crash, banking crisis, & policy of monetary contraction after 1930. Paper Introduction: Introduction When discussing the cycle of boom and bust which occurred in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s one is dealing with at least two differing interpretations of economic reality. The first interpretation tends to assert that the depression of the 1930s owed little to the Wall Street Crash. This view argues that there were two main culprits that caused the downturn; a banking crisis and the drastic monetary contraction that took place after 1930 which allegedly was to have been caused by an overly tight monetary policy following the crash (Friedman and Schwartz, 1963). The attractive aspect of this theory is that it implies that the savage deflation and depression of the 1930s was merely the cause of a policy mistake. All that would have been required to correct it, therefore, would have been a Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Introduction: Teacher Appraisal System Introduction There are several problems involved in the creation of effective and fair appraisal systems for teachers. The schools are not uniform, nor are the expectations of teachers uniform. The backgrounds of teachers are not the same, and the students that they deal with are not the same. In other words, this is a variable system, so designing an appraisal system that is invariable would be difficult.

Paper Abstract: Examines the Asian population in the Bay Area in 3 steps: a demographic overview, analysis of 2 recent events (campaign finance scandal & Prop. 187), & analysis of a new unification of the various Asian-American communities. Paper Introduction: The Position of AsianAmericans in the Bay Area Political Economy Introduction Historically, the AsianAmerican community of the Bay Area which numbers well over one million people, has had trouble organizing itself into activist collectives and learning to speak with one voice (Lee, 1994). During the last several months, events have forced the disparate community to put aside certain cultural and ethnic differences and join forces to fight a formidable foe  the modern, American metroplex.

Paper Introduction: Introduction: Situation Overview On June 27, 1997, the finance ministry of Thailand, along with the Bank of Thailand, that nation's central bank, announced that activities of sixteen financial and securities firms were to be suspended for thirty days, and directed the troubled firms to find merger partners. Five days later a further and dramatic step was taken: Finance Minister Tanong Bhidaya declared that the Thai central bank would no longer support the baht, the Thai currency, at its fixed exchange rate of 24.45 bahts to the dollar. The initial reaction of international financial observers was positive. On July 10, the respected Far Eastern Economic Review reported these developments under the headline "Free at Last," with a subtitle reporting that "Thailand floats the baht, begins financial-sector clean-up" (Vatikiotis, 1997a, 70).

Paper Abstract: Describes the investment in canals & railroads & their impact on the early economic development of the United States. Paper Introduction: Technological Innovation and Economic Growth: 1750-1900 In the United States the growth of the industrial era really began with national efforts at improvement of means of communication. Improved transportation meant that greater amounts of products could be moved long distances, faster, on a consistent schedule, and at cheaper rates than ever before. Starting with the canal and primitive but improved road systems of the first quarter of the 19th century, improvements in transportation really impacted the growth of the American industrial economy with the advent of interlinked railroad lines and the improved locomotive of the 1830s and 40s. Alfred D.

Slavery, media, role of govt., self-help, affirmative action, social factors. Paper Introduction: This paper is an examination of poverty as a racial issue. A black person in America is more likely than a white person to be poor, to have a lower family income, a lower paying job, and fewer resources to get out of poverty. Experts have suggested a number of reasons for this situation, from different cultural expectations to greater historical barriers. This paper argues that racism plays a significant role in perpetuating black poverty. However, this paper also contends that racism can be used as an excuse for self-perpetuation, obscuring other causes of poverty and preventing many blacks from making full use of what resources they do have to secure the kinds of lives for which they long. While the earliest blacks to arrive in America came as indentured servants seeking, along with their white counterparts, Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Develops model for prediction for rate on 90-day U.S. Treasury bill & 90-day certificate of deposit, using Keynesian & loanable funds approaches. Tables & Charts. Paper Introduction: INTEREST RATE PREDICTION Introduction Models are developed to predict two interest rates. The default-free money market security for which a model will be developed to predict the interest rate is the 90-day United States Treasury Bill. The capital market security which is characterized by some degree of risk for which a model will be developed to predict the interest rate is a 90-day certificate of deposit issued by a financial institution. Keynes held that the rate of interest is determined, instead, by the intersection of the supply of money and the demand for money. Instead of time preference, which is involved in the classical economic theory of interest, the Keynesian theory of interest is concerned with liquidity preference.

Paper Abstract: Examines concept of full employment, causes of unemployment, domestic & international factors, trade, NAFTA, competition, globalization, future. Paper Introduction: From the beginning of our history, politicians have often called for full employment as a national goal, yet full employment has also been seen as a cause of inflation and so is undercut by decisions by the Federal Reserve in order to prevent inflation. Unemployment changes over time in terms of causes, makeup, degree of severity, and possible solutions, and over the last decade unemployment has both been reduced and has also changed its makeup in terms of the kinds of industries experiencing unemployment and the proposals for solving the problem. The highest job losses in the last decade have been in traditional bread-and-butter industries such as manufacturing, and this is seen as part of a shift in the economy to the new information age paradigm as workers are moved from manufacturing jobs to a service economy.

Paper Abstract: Analyzes causes & effects of Depression in two nations, 1929-1939, and relates crisis to late 1990s global economic conditions. Tables. Paper Introduction: Introduction The Great Depression was an economic slump, in North America, Europe, and other industrialized areas of the world, that began in 1929 and lasted until about 1939 (Fearon, 1981). It was based partly on the British refusal to devalue the pound sterling, partly on the problems the European nations were facing following World War I, partly on the destruction of the system of world trade and partly on the United States economic boom of the 1920's, and partly because of the speculation in stocks which led to the stock market crash of October 1929 (Walton & Rockoff, 1998).

Paper Abstract: Examines multivariate capitalist economic theory & the role & function of accumulation of capital, including Marxist critiques. Paper Introduction: TOWARD A NEW THEORY OF "ACCUMULATION" IN MULTIVARIATE CAPITALIST ECONOMIES Part 1: Accumulation One of the primary goals of Capitalism is the accumulation theory. Capitalism, as a political theory, traces its roots to 16th century, although similar theories existed in the ancient world, and pockets of capitalism were present during the later European Middle Ages and during the Tang dynasty in China (Anchordoguy, 1990; Johnson,1993; Murray, 1997; Reisman, 1996). All of these systems of capitalism shared one concept: production should exceed consumption so that the nation's productive capacity is increased.

Paper Introduction: Karl Marx and Adam Smith are in important ways two of the most influential people in the lives of each of living at the end of the 20th century, although – ironically – we tend not to see the extent of their influence simply because it is so vast. It is like the air around us, something essential to our environment but impossible to see. But while oxygen supports us as biological entities, the ideas of Marx and Smith in their different ways support us as social animals. This paper explores the contributions of these two thinkers about the human condition, looking briefly at the personal backgrounds of these two political philosophers before examining their ideas about social justice, the economy and the ways in which governments should and should not intervene in the economies of their states.

Paper Introduction: Introduction Monetary and fiscal policy have a direct effect on all individuals, yet many do not understand how these two types of economic controls work. Monetary policy in the United States is conducted largely by the Federal Reserve, which sets interest rates for commercial financial institutions. These institutions, in turn, set their interest rates based on the Fed rates, and customers pay (and receive) interest based on these rates. Higher interest rates result in higher borrowing costs and thus less borrowing activity. Fiscal policy, on the other hand, is conducted by the government and is concerned with government revenues and spending. Although fiscal policy is often equated with taxation by many voters, it encompasses a great many more issues than merely taxation, including how much (if any) debt should be carried by the go Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Introduction: EFFECT OF CURRENT WORLDWIDE RECESSION ON FUTURE UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE UNITED STATES This research examines the effect of the current world-wide recession on the future of unemployment in the United States. A disclaimer needs to be made prior to beginning this analysis. That disclaimer is that no world-wide recession exists in the Spring of 1999. The situation that actually prevails is that many economies around the world are in recession, but many are not in recession. Further, there are areas of regional recession within the global economy (International Monetary Fund, 1999). A notable case in point is East Asia. Certainly, however, a sufficient proportion of the world’s economies are current in recession to warrant an assessment of the potential of this situation to affect future employment levels in the Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Introduction: THE AMERICAN ECONOMY IN 1999 In today's world, no nation exists in economic isolation, a fact which necessitates that this analysis consider the American economy in its global context after the beginning comments which focus on the more traditional macroreconomic indicators that are used in determining the viability of the American economy. The Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) forecasts 2.3 percent growth through 2002. Generally, both the Federal Reserve Board and the Congressional Budget Office agree with this assessment (Bluestone & Harrison, 1997, 60). The year 1999, the last of the 20th Century, is forcing American economic theorists to completely reevaluate almost every aspect of traditional economic thinking, including reliance on traditional economic indicators (Lindsey, 1998, 42).

Paper Introduction: INTERNATIONAL BANKING AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES IN RUSSIA The causes of the devaluation of the ruble as a world currency are myriad, many of them deriving from incidents that happened on or around October 11, 1994, known in International Monetary Fund circles as "Black Tuesday." On that day, the ruble lost almost 25% of its value, closing at 3.926 to the dollar, its lowest value ever. Only two days later, it recovered, climbing 20% to 2.994 to the dollar. However, the political backlash lingered long after the one-day ruble shock. The causes behind the crisis are also of far more concern than the event itself (Rose, 1998, 11). One of the central causes of the crisis was politicking in the bureaucracy. The tight (for Russia) fiscal and monetary policies which had successfully brought inflation down to Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Causes & effects of bank crashes, deregulation, oil prices & OPEC, rise of Japan as global economic power, auto industry (focusing of Ford). Paper Introduction: In the early 1980s, the popular myth held that America would lead the world into the "postindustrial age" and that in the future American competitive strength would be based on service industries. During the 1980s, the American business community began to see itself as failing to keep pace with developments elsewhere, notably in Japan, allowing the Japanese economy to move ahead of the American economy in some ways. Another issue raised in the 1980s was the inflated situation of the savings and loan industry, leading to the failures of many savings and loan institutions and even banks. This was also an era in which corporate raiders developed new ways of taking over companies, issued inflated stocks and developed other schemes that would lead to a crackdown, and challenged the viability of the U.S. economy in other ways as well.

Paper Abstract: Examines & compares economic & political liberalization in nations once purely communistic. Paper Introduction: Introduction: Both Russia and China have experienced radical economic, social and political change in recent years, characterized by a previously nonexistent warming in attitude toward the philosophies of capitalism and democracy in each country. At one point Russia and China's institutions were fully based on communistic principles. The difference between absolute communism and absolute capitalism, though vast and varied in consequence, really boils down to property rights. Quite simply, the privileges of ownership are accompanied by the powers to set prices, form incentives and determine resource allocation (Carson, part 1, 168). Both countries have now evolved into more market-based systems. In some respects their paths have run parallel. In others, the course has been Read the Entire Essay.
