The board game Monopoly is played amongst a group of 2-8 players. Each player roles his or her dice and move around the board landing on properties, railroads, or utilities. The properties typically raise in value the further along a player moves around the board. The thought of Boardwalk’s value depreciating to Mediterranean Avenue is unheard of in the board game of Monopoly. However, in the real life game of Monopoly, a major city in America (Detroit, Michigan) had experienced a catastrophic depreciation in value that ultimately led to the city filing for chapter 9 bankruptcy. This writing assignment will evaluate the components that led to the rise and fall of a major city in America. First, it is important to examine the components that led to the growth and prosperity of Detroit, Michigan.

Nelson. "Is Baseball Recession-Proof?" Research in Business and Economics Journal 8 (2013): 1-10.ProQuest. Web. 2 Dec. 2015. The growth and popularity of baseball has been a constant since its beginning. The idea that baseball is "recession-proof" is not a new and unique concept. Consistently game attendance, consumption of Major League Baseball-related products, and ticket sales have all increased yearly. The journal states that "local economic variables generally do not have a statistically significant influence on attendance", therefore cementing the authors' point that baseball is seemingly recession-proof. The authors ran multiple experiments on several different models, all which resulted in consistent findings, economies may lag, and recessions come and go, but baseball remains untouched by economic downfall. Upon closing the article, the authors ponder a new and coming problem, stagnant income growth, coupled with the increase in demand for tickets may drive up price to a point where purchase for the average attendee may become too expensive, which would in turn would break the recession-proof nature of

Collections were $61 million below expectations in July, August and September (combined total). Following that, the total receipts were $15 million, or almost 3 percent, below expectations in October, according to the Kansas Department of Revenue. Added up, in the first four months of the fiscal year starting in July, Kansas is now roughly $76 million under revenue expectations. The state broke out of an eight-month-long streak of missed estimates in November. But December’s lower-than-expected receipts (under $11 million) ruined hopes of the November figures (up $8 million) in which we thought was the start of a new, positive trend. Ever since 2013, the tax cuts have fallen short of creating the surge of new dollars that Brownback once boldly predicted would almost immediately flow to the state. Also, the state has been among the worst in the nation in recently in creating new nonfarm jobs, again, the opposite of what Brownback had said would happen after the tax cuts were implemented. On July 1, the statewide sales tax jumped from 6.15 percent to 6.5 percent. “The fact that sales tax revenue was below estimates, even after Republicans passed a massive sales tax increase, is an indication of just how much Kansas families are struggling under the Brownback tax plan,” said House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs, D-Kansas City. “A tax plan that is overly dependent upon a sales tax is neither

This essay will contain an evaluation on how the state responded to the three classic crashes: Tulip Mania, the Mississippi Bubble, and the South Sea Bubble. To be able to understand and evaluate the response of the state to each crash, we first need an understanding on what was actually going on in each crash from the beginning, hence what actually made the bubble burst in each case. What were the similarities and differences between the crashes, and at the end there will be a comparison to the HBO movie “Too Big To Fail”, and how the crash was handled by the state in that case, in contrast to the three classic bubbles.

The city of Springfield, Massachusetts were blessed with the basing of a baseball minor league franchise in their city. But the class A team is faced with great revenue generation challenges that will make or mar the organization. The new team might likely take advantage of the fact that closest sports franchised teams are all located 90 miles away from Springfield. This might create a ticket and concession boom for the team and other benefits like employment and taxes for the city. The city has a considerable moderate family income and a recent growth index in the healthcare, financial, and other small and medium enterprise sectors is an advantage

Despite periods of rising prosperity, the last three decades have been characterized by middle and lower-income wage stagnation; a lack of job opportunities for those without a college degree; and a speculative bubble-inducing trade deficit. While the exports in Kansas have been growing at a consistent rate, a significant increase in Kansas’s exports could dramatically improve these conditions, both nationally and statewide. (Brookings Program). To encourage this economic activity there have been several efforts made by both the government and private sector.

Research of social impact of events is one of the emerging topics in event management literature and has a great degree of importance for a variety of different reasons considering their short term, high profile and a relatively profound effect on everyday life of local communities. (Ritchie
