A Survey Of Economic Forecasting Techniques, Eugene Michael Boyd

Student Work

Decision making involves analysis of relevant factors in order to determine a course of action. Since the action to he taken carries into the future, a decision must take into consideration the future status of and effects of any changes in these relevant factors.

Student Work

Oscar Handlin wrote, "Once I thought to write a history of the immigrants in America. Then I discovered that the immigrants were American history." Yet, how strange that so many people are reluctant to be referred to as Irish, Polish, German, or Swedish. Their wish is to be called an American. The heritage their parents or grandparents left behind has often been ignored. I did not fully understand the traditions of my Czechoslovak heritage even though I grew up with a foreign language and hints of a different culture. In a time of resurgent interest in the ethnic dimensions of …
