Policy Forum Series: Teller - The Changing Role of Natural Gas in the United ...Environmental Initiative

The presentation covers current natural gas markets and supply, the short-term outlook for natural gas which expects a rise in prices in 2013, and the long-term outlook to 2035 in which natural gas production and use, especially for electric power generation, are expected to continue increasing substantially according to EIA projections.
Central banks around the world have dramatically expanded their balance sheets over the last decade, quadrupling them to over $13 trillion currently.

Rather than addressing underlying issues, massive monetary easing mostly enables continued fiscal deficits and a delay of necessary reforms.

The document contains charts and graphs showing housing market trends from 2003-2011. It shows that over this period:
- Average and median home sales prices fluctuated but generally trended upward, with the average price rising 6.7% and median up 2.8% from 2010 to 2011 YTD.
- Home sales, inventory levels, and new listings all increased from 2010 to 2011 YTD, with units sold up 12.4% and inventory up 11.3%.

The document summarizes an investment opportunity involving a pair of shares - bearer shares and registered shares - of the Swiss company Swatch Group. Historically, the registered shares had traded at a small premium but now trade at a significant discount to the bearer shares, despite having equal voting rights. The document recommends shorting the bearer shares and going long the registered shares to profit from a reversion of this price difference, arguing the large current spread is unjustified and not explained by liquidity differences. Any decline in the Swatch share price could also catalyze a narrowing of the spread between the two classes. Regression analysis shows the spread is strongly correlated to the share price level.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
