Nigerian Stock Market Reflection Of The Global Finance Crisis: An Evaluation, Sere- Ejembi A. A.
Bullion
With its roots in banking, the sub-prime mortgage crisis that commenced in the United States in 2007 soon resonated in other sectors of its financial system, and the economy, at large. It spread quickly to the developed economies in Europe, including the United Kingdom, and Asia. In the case of the Nigerian stock market, following initial relative insulation, the speed of contagion and response was comparatively slower.

Conflicts Among Civilizations: The Influence Behind War And Art, Ross Pickett
Conflicts Among Civilizations: The Influence Behind War And Art, Ross Pickett
Reason and Respect
Why war or conflicts are fought between civilizations is a subject that could be debated with no end. The complexity of how our species reacts with each other and generates conflict exceeds the limitations of a single concept. There is not one answer to the question, but often the combination of the need for economic and political authority along with the thrill of victory, power, and nationalism joining together to create the motivation to fight and conquer.

A Lethal Combination That Cannot Be Ignored: President Clinton And National Health Insurance, Gretchen R. Roetzer '95
The Park Place Economist
President Clinton started a historic effort to find an acceptable new balance of competing public demands, to reinvent health care in ways that provide somewhat less freedom for patients and doctors and somewhat more cost control. In its mind-boggling complexity, the debate is whether his program or any of its rivals can do what they claim.

Should We Expand, Stacey L. Williamson '95
The Park Place Economist
Should we expand? is the age-old question asked by economists. To answer this question, we must first look at the state of the current economy. What effects would expansionary monetary policy have on our economy, if any? Would this expansion be beneficial or could it make an unstable economy even worse? The ultimate goal is to decide if expansionary monetary policy should be implemented.

It then follows these graduates over time to show that the income gap increases.
Monetary Failures Of The Great Depression, Terrance L. Chapman '01
Monetary Failures Of The Great Depression, Terrance L. Chapman '01
The Park Place Economist
This paper argues that mismanagement of the money supply substantially contributed to the economic disaster of The Great Depression. Indeed, from 1929 to the cyclical trough in 1933, the Federal Reserve allowed the money stock to fall by 33% while one-fifth of commercial banks closed and real money income fell 36%. These numbers seem staggering when one considers that the Fed performed few open market operations and even raised the discount rate in 1931 from 1.5% to 3.5%.
