Market Correction Through Governmental
Regulation : 8 pages in length. We learn from economics texts that for every
economic imbalance that occurs, there is a corrective reaction that occurs to reestablish
equilibrium. Those corrective actions are not immediate though, and sometimes they
seemingly take forever. Arguing in favor of government control is not to say that
businesses need to be regulated in their ability to operate or to make their own
decisions, and in fact they need to be encouraged to develop new products and services to
be able to remain competitive. Government regulation is required in financial sectors to
control those market flaws that cannot be otherwise corrected. Bibliography lists 5

individuals who held a great intelligence and insight into the subject of economics. This
paper, in general, examines the scholarly quality of Dumont’s work. No additional

antecedents of these theories have been passed down to the current age. It also posits
that although economists are reviewing various historical theories in an attempt to
identify the answers raised by global democratization and poverty issues, the answers to
these problems do not reside in historical theories or their synthesis. Bibliography lists

Bases for Persistent Income Discrepancies
: A 7 page paper discussing possible reasons for the wide discrepancy of income levels
in the US. Though there are many factors, much of the issue involves risk. As in the stock
market, the higher the risk of a venture, the higher the return. Factory workers and
teachers, notoriously low-paid, typically have assumed very little risk in their
professions, while a pro sport star could suffer a career-ending injury at any time. There
is no question that income levels in the US are absurdly skewed, but it also is fitting
that those with the most to lose also see the greatest rewards. Bibliography lists 10

The Effects Of Technology Shocks On The Business
Cycle : An 8 page research paper based on the article "On the Contribution
of Technology Shocks to Business Cycles" published in 1997. With the continued
growth of the economy after 7 years of steady expansion, some economists were claiming
that the classic business cycle is obsolete. Economists said that once before, too—in
1969, just before the worldwide recession of the early 1970s. The theory is that
technological advances have forestalled the expected downturn of the business cycle.

Concentrated Economic Power Makes It Difficult
For Ordinary Citizens To Exert Control Over Their Lives : 3 pages in length. With
a very small portion of the population controlling the majority of the concentrated
economic power, it is no wonder that ordinary citizens find it exceedingly difficult to
exert control over their lives. Money does, indeed, make the world go around; without its
influential benefit, a preponderance of the population continues to find themselves pawns
to those who flaunt its power. The writer discusses how, in a world that thrives upon
conspicuous consumption, it is becoming more and more difficult for the masses to keep up.

Government Spending As A Percentage Of GDP :
An 8 page paper discussing the 1998 disappearance of the federal budget deficit and the
possibility of linking government spending to growth of GDP. Linking government spending
to GDP would result in total chaos within the government and in all of the programs on
which it manages to spend so much. While it is true that government spending increases
have trailed increases in tax revenues based on constant or lower tax rates, there is
never a guarantee those revenue increases will continue. So far, economists have not been
able to agree even on the reasons for the long period of economic growth, much less how to
ensure its continuation. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Govspend.wps
The State of the Economy / 2Q 1997 : A 5
page paper examining the state of the US economy just before the beginning the
government’s 1998 fiscal year. For seven years, the economy had been in a growth
phase but also with the lowest rate of unemployment since 1973 and an inflation rate of
only 2.2%. Things had been so good for so long that some mainstream economists claimed the
standard model of the business cycle was obsolete, a statement made by an MIT economist in
1969 just before the advent of the worldwide recession of the early 1970s. Bibliography

The Bull Market Of The 1990s : A 5 page
paper illustrating that the stock market of recent years has indeed been a bull one. It
seems the entire country has been in awe of the performance of the stock market in recent
years, and there is talk among economists that the old and classic model of the business
cycle might well be obsolete, that "bust" does not always follow
"boom." Whether that speculation will prove to be valid or not, the US economy
has experienced several straight years of slow and steady growth, with advances in
economic indicators each year. The trend toward globalization reduces business’ risk
in any given geographical location, and businesses are operating in a more fiscally sound
manner than in any other recent time. The factors that have contributed to the
long-standing bull market are still in place. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Bull-Mkt.doc
Is The Bull Market Going To Last? : A 5
page paper discussing whether the bear is ever going to return. There are some hard and
fast rules within the universe. Until the early 1990s, one had been that the stock market
would rise until stock values had reached a point at which they were overvalued in some
degree, then they would "correct." We have no reason to believe that rule will
not activate in any given year or even tomorrow. But the interval of the cycle has
certainly been stretched beyond the limits of anyone’s imagination only a few years
ago. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Bullmkt.wps
The Stock-Market Boom Of The 90’s
: An 8 page paper discussing the trends of the 1990’s and how these trends
have affected the stock exchange and how they have helped to create the apparent boom to
the market. The 1990’s have brought with it many changes to the United States, as
well as the world. Technology has made astronomical advances and the world has become even
smaller as this technology connects many people in many ways. The stock-market reflects
these changes. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Stokboom.wps
Economic Conditions in 1990 & 1996:
A 9 page paper comparing the economy of 1990 with that of 1996. The recession of 1990-1991
was a particularly distressing one, and consumer confidence did not readily return at the
end of the recession. In fact, consumer confidence did not cease falling until nearly a
year after the end of the recession. By 1996, consumer confidence appeared to be stable,
but they still had not returned to their prior spending habits. Closer examination reveals
that while unemployment and inflation were low, real disposable income had failed to keep
up with costs. Consumers were spending less than before 1990 simply because there was less
to spend. Bibliography lists 6 sources. E9096.wps

The Newspaper Industry’s Contribution to

its economic contributions. Throughout the modern age, newspapers’ main function has
always been to report the news events of the day and provide information about current
events. Newspapers also provide commentary on the news, advocate various public policies,
furnish special information and advice to readers, and generally include
"entertainment" features. In fact, a daily newspaper is a mainstay of American
life. Bibliography lists 4 sources. Newpaimp.wps
Unemployment Rates In The Prosperous Economy
: A 5 page paper looking at what is really happening with the unemployment rates in
this country. While Europe hovers in double digits, unemployment is at its lowest here in
24 years. The result has been a pronounced labor shortage in the lower-paying industries
and an increase in hourly rates. As employers of mostly-skilled workers begin to cut back,
employers of the relatively unskilled find themselves with a new and more qualified labor
pool, leaving the bottom end of the spectrum out of jobs once again. Bibliography lists 5
sources. Unemplyd.wps
Interest Rates’ Real Track : A 5
page paper examining just where interest rates might go. Since 1991, the US economy has
been in a slow, steady expansion mode that seems to have no inclination to stop any time
soon. Forecasted growth consistently is 2.5 to 3.5 percent; observed growth is
consistently higher, but still only slightly above 4 percent. That rate is not one that
needs to be curbed in order to control inflation, and in fact, inflation incredibly seems
to be controlling itself. The only valid reason for increasing interest rates is to
prevent the economy from growing so quickly that inflation begins to escalate, so it is
unlikely that there will be any increase in either short- or long-term rates, but it is
possible that they will decline even further. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Interate.wps
Minimum Wage : The
first legislation to include minimum wage was the Fair Labor Standards Act - enacted in
1938. Many within the economics profession view the stabilizing of the minimum wage as a
sound principle of economic analysis and policy, believing that wage increases are
detrimental to the economy. Others argue that the social factors and benefits of
alleviating poverty take precedence over economic considerations. This 20 page paper
examines the factors contributing to the opposing views concerning the instigation of a
mandated minimum wage. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Flsawage.wps

: In this thoughtful 4 page essay, the writer makes comparisons between the role of

Without such Cavalry, the system would collapse and those who held the power and the
wealth would cease to hold it. In the 1980s, the conditions were similar. During that time
period an overwhelming sense of greed and a thirst for power took hold among those in the
stock market, or those who had control of the money and the economy. Bibliography lists 2

The Bull Market Of The 1990s : A 5 page
paper illustrating that the stock market of recent years has indeed been a bull one. It
seems the entire country has been in awe of the performance of the stock market in recent
years, and there is talk among economists that the old and classic model of the business
cycle might well be obsolete, that "bust" does not always follow
"boom." Whether that speculation will prove to be valid or not, the US economy
has experienced several straight years of slow and steady growth, with advances in
economic indicators each year. The trend toward globalization reduces business’ risk
in any given geographical location, and businesses are operating in a more fiscally sound
manner than in any other recent time. The factors that have contributed to the
long-standing bull market are still in place. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Bull-Mkt.doc
Economic Conditions in 1990 & 1996:
A 9 page paper comparing the economy of 1990 with that of 1996. The recession of 1990-1991
was a particularly distressing one, and consumer confidence did not readily return at the
end of the recession. In fact, consumer confidence did not cease falling until nearly a
year after the end of the recession. By 1996, consumer confidence appeared to be stable,
but they still had not returned to their prior spending habits. Closer examination reveals
that while unemployment and inflation were low, real disposable income had failed to keep
up with costs. Consumers were spending less than before 1990 simply because there was less
to spend. Bibliography lists 6 sources. E9096.wps

Will US Prosperity Continue? : A 7 page
paper asking this same question that economists ask. In the fourth quarter of 1997, rumors
are circulating that perhaps the classic business cycle is an obsolete model, that
globalization has had such an impact that the old model is no longer relevant. It is true
that the US economy is in the longest period of expansion of the century. The question is
whether it will continue or whether it will come to an abrupt and devastating halt within
the next two or three years. Bibliography lists 9 sources. Prosper.wps
