On top of simply translating past and present financial systems, Krugman dissects the interconnection between economics and politics. Starting with the rise of socialism, many governments took on

John E. Stapleford, Professor of Economic Development at Eastern College in St. David’s, Pennsylvania, expresses that morals and financial aspects are the ground-level points of this book. Stapleford likewise makes the substantial point that both financial matters and morals created as branches of philosophy. He further watches that throughout the years, barriers between the two disciplines have created with most financial experts maintaining a strategic distance from any express specify of the moral ramifications of the monetary speculations and ideas tended to in mainstream financial writings. Stapleford tries to address this situation

As an avid problem solver, I had often been encouraged to take up Mathematics as a degree. However, I find myself engulfed in an increasingly uncertain economic landscape, where even the most intuitive economists cannot prevent suboptimal outcomes. In Mathematics I enjoy the challenge of finding the right answer, but the challenge of finding the right answer where one might not even exist has drawn me towards economics.

In “Unsolved Theoretical Questions”, Galbraith suggests the current and past debates about the concept of the NAIRU, and then raises several concerns about the validity and usefulness of the natural rate. The idea of the natural rate was invented by Milton Friedman (1968) and Edmund Phelps (1968). Specifically, it was Friedman’s presidential lecture that

A thought-provoking crosswise note: it was the time when Lucas family life was disturbed and he got divorce from his wife, Rita in 1988. The wife filed the case to share the fifty percent of the prize amount of the Nobel Prize money that he might obtain. The Nobel Prize was taken in the year of 1995. Economists pretended that Lucas’s prototypical pragmatic to his better half. She had balanced—or at minimum accurate—potentials.

Eight decades has elapsed since the outbreak of the Great Depression, but the continuing mystery of its cause keep provoking academic debates among scholars from various fields. Eichengreen and Temin joint the debates by linking the gold-standard ideology with the cause of the Great Depression. They content that because of this ideology monetary and fiscal authorities implemented deflationary policies when the hindsight shows clearly that expansionary policies were needed. And these contractionary policies consequently pushed the stumbling world economy into the Great Depression. Eichengreen and Temin put heavy weight on analyzing why the prewar gold standard could be a force for international financial stability while interwar gold

In his book, “Diary of a very bad year: Confessions of an anonymous hedge fund manager”, Keith Gessen provides a captivating, entertaining and a shocking account of the 2008 financial crisis. The 2008 financial crisis is described as the deepest dives and the steepest recovery of a catastrophic mortgage crisis. The analysis will incorporate the “Efficient market hypothesis.” In addition, the analysis explains the concept of “financialization of markets.” The confessions of the hedge fund manager debunk the theory of rational markets. In addition, rational reasoning is a trait certainly absent in the financial sector. The absence of logical reasoning in the financial sector is to be blamed for leading the economy down the path of utter chaos and destruction instead of steering towards a more prosperous, less economically fickle future. Lastly, examine the role of the government in bailing out the financial sector.

At the end of an economic depression, the year 1898 proved to show that better times were coming. The money supply of the country was showing an increase once again. During 1898, the money supply of the United States has been increased by at least $500,000,000 (“Abundant Money” 1). Gold production and gold importation have added at least $200,000,000 to the stock. The net balance in the foreign trade account accounted for another $300,000,000 (“Abundant Money” 1). This increase in the money supply makes money cheap and easy. Its abundance was verified by the large holdings of the New York banks and of the National Treasury. Investment activity was very active and the purchase of bonds resulted in a steady rise in the prices of all first-class

Maths/Uni Para: Shadowing an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, made me increasingly aware how many aspects of economics are firmly rooted within statistics and stirred my interest in the field of Econometrics. Consequently, I chose to quit my degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics at the University of York and independently study A2-Mathematics. By building upon my AS-Mathematics and Gold Award in the UKMT maths challenge, I will be to further my knowledge of quantitve and algorithm economics which are vital in both government policy and the financial

Firstly, there are some simplifications to be done to get all the necessary inputs for the Black & Scholes model. One approximation to be made is the estimation of the

This paper will discuss the implications of the Fed’s monetary policy on the globe because of the gold standard, the problems caused by a decentralized Fed, and the Fed’s failure of a lender of last

Throughout the nineteenth century many economists have had a great amount of influence on domestic and international policies with the United States (US). With events like the Great Depression, the Post-War Boom, the “stagnant seventies,” and Reaganomic Era, a variety of economists have been able to take part in economic movements and policies. One of the most popular economists was Milton Friedman, who argued in favor of monetarist economics and stabilized policies.

In 1995, Lucas was awarded the Noble Prize in economics, for having developed and applied the hypothesis of Rational Expectation. This, transformed macroeconomics analysis and deepened everyone’s understanding of economic policy. More than any other person in the period from 1970 to 2000, Lucas revolutionized macroeconomic theory. Most of his work led to the work of Finn Kydland and Edward Prescott, which also won them the noble prize

The Black Scholes Merton (BSM) model is the best-known model for valuing options as it is the original of many option pricing models today (Haug and Taleb, 2009; Le, 2015). Developed in 1973 by Fisher Black, Myron Scholes and Robert Merton, the BSM model is still widely used today as the benchmark for many models and techniques that financial analysts use to analyse and determine the fair prices of given options (Jumarie, 2010). It is widely used due to its simplicity however there are many criticisms regarding the assumptions made by the model (Bharath and Sumway, 2008; Haug and Taleb, 2009; Le, 2015)
