Bolstering Taiwan's Economy Through Arms Procurement
[ send me this paper ]
A 35 page paper discussing changes in Taiwan's economy in the early years of the new century and the growing threat of mainland China. Taiwan's defense spending has declined dramatically over the past several years as there has been internal disagreement over the total cost of matching China's increased defenses. This paper reviews the course of economic history of Taiwan and the strained relations that continue between China and Taiwan even though the two are increasingly economically interdependent. It also demonstrates that renewed arms procurement activity in Taiwan would serve several purposes and would have the effect of bolstering Taiwan's economy as it moves from manufacturing to services, the natural progression of an increasingly maturing economy. Includes an abstract. Bibliography lists 24 sources.

Book Review of “Irrational Exuberance” by Robert Shiller
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page book review of Robert Shiller’s “Irrational Exuberance” (2000). The publication of Robert Shiller’s book “Irrational Exuberance” in 2000, took investors by surprise as it was a criticism and analysis of the recent increased trends in the stock markets. Essentially, Shiller states that the increase in the stock markets is a result of several cultural, sociological and psychological elements and not based on an increase of “real value”. He admits that there are many factors involved, including the introduction of the Internet into American homes and an increased awareness of the stock market in the media, but he ascertains that the real increase in based on the “herding” effect of social rational humans who follow popular trends. Despite the increase in the markets, Shiller cautions investors to keep their portfolios diversified and not dependent on the stock market because based on past historical increases in the market, this increase will also be followed by a decade of mediocre returns. Because of this good advice and words of caution, the book is considered worthwhile to read especially for anyone considering loading their investments into the stock market. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Bush’s Dilemma: The Cost of the War on Terrorism
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper arguing that George W. Bush has no clear idea of how long the war against terrorism will last, how much it will cost or when he will need to raise taxes to pay for the effort. The bottom line is that there are too many unknowns for the Bush administration to be able to provide any firm picture of total cost of the war effort or when it will be “safe” for the economy for the administration to raise federal taxes. Without knowing how long the war effort will last, there is no way to firmly predict what the final cost will be. Without knowing that bottom-line figure, neither can tax increases be predicted. All hinges on how effective allied forces are able to be in inhibiting terrorists’ ability to act at will. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Business and Free Trade
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper considering whether business would choose the free market or a managed economy in the case of a global crash and the possibility of starting over. Perhaps a controlled market would be tempting momentarily, but in the end business is more likely to opt for the free market. It is more conducive to growth in the long term, and with all businesses on the level ground of the crashed market, they would have no reason at all to want to pursue the managed economy.

Business Cycle Dating; Purposes of the Fed
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper in two sections. The first discusses how National Bureau of Economic Research determines the presence of recession and dates when it begins and ends. The second section discusses the structure and function of the Federal Reserve, focusing on the action of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) that meets quarterly to determine whether it will change interest rates. The action of the Fed seeks to place a glove over Adam Smith's "invisible hand," not seeking to change the action of that hand but only soften the effects of its movement. It directly contributes to the stability of the nation's economy and by extension to the nation itself. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

California and US Employment Conditions
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing movement in unemployment rates and the economic health of the California economy during the summer of 2002. The fallout of the technology sector, particularly in high-tech, Internet-related companies, set investors on their collective ear. Few expected such a correction in market value of these companies, and the losses incurred in returns has been more than only disheartening for organizations and investors alike. The stock market continues its slide, reducing businesses' market capitalization and therefore the amount of capital available to them. Many have laid off workers; many more have placed freezes on hiring. The economic outlook for California as for the rest of the country remains mixed and depressed, yet optimistic.

Cash Grants for Earned Income: An Analysis of Three Hypothetical Approaches
[ send me this paper ]
A 2 page analysis of earned income strategies designed to aid working women in Hawaii. Outlines Hawaii's current approach and compares that approach to two hypothetical approaches. Each involves a cash grant for earned income but the budget constraints for each differ both in the maximum work hours allowed without taxation and in the rate of taxation. Concludes that the second hypothetical approach is superior as it rewards women who work a minimum or one-hundred hours per month with an increased cash grant. The other two approaches actually penalize women who work over forty hours per month by requiring that the cash grant be taxed away. No sources are listed.
