Fed fiscal monetary policy
This document provides an overview of monetary policy and the role of the Federal Reserve. It begins with sample questions about inflation, recessions, banks, and monetary policy. It then compares the Great Depression and Great Recession in terms of declines in GDP, unemployment, and world trade. The remainder discusses the Federal Reserve System and its tools of monetary policy. It asks questions about setting reserve rates, the Fed's role as lender of last resort, and why the Fed Chairman is influential. Finally, it prompts writing letters regarding monetary policy stances and recommended fiscal policy changes.
Reagan presidency student version
The document discusses Ronald Reagan and his economic policies known as Reaganomics. It begins with essential questions about the economy, role of government, American ideals, and the end of the Cold War. It then discusses different industries and how employment shifted from manufacturing and agriculture to services. Next, it outlines Reagan's economic policies of reducing government spending and regulations, lowering taxes, maintaining high interest rates, and balancing the budget. The goal of Reaganomics was to stimulate the economy by putting more money in the hands of businesses and individuals through tax cuts and less government intervention. It aimed to shrink the size of government and promote conservative ideals.
Reagonomics student copy
The document discusses Reaganomics and its impact on the American economy in the 1980s. It describes Reagan's policies of cutting taxes, reducing regulations on businesses, maintaining high interest rates to fight inflation, and attempting to balance the federal budget through spending cuts. While the economy experienced strong growth and low inflation in the 1980s, Reagan was unable to significantly reduce spending or balance the budget due to increasing defense costs. The tax cuts and reduced regulations benefited some industries but increased the federal deficit.
Asian Shares Inch Higher On Wall Street Gains
Asian stock markets edged higher following gains on Wall Street. Positive earnings reports from IBM, Google, and hopes of economic improvements in the U.S. and China encouraged buying. The Japanese Nikkei initially fell as the yen jumped after the Bank of Japan's new monetary easing policies were seen as not providing immediate stimulus. Most analysts believe the yen's rise is a temporary correction and will resume declining on expectations of aggressive monetary easing from the Bank of Japan. German investor sentiment also rose to a two-year high, further boosting global market optimism.
Oil-Prices-and-Normalization-of-Monetary-Policy-Nov-2015
The document discusses how lower oil prices can help moderate the impact of the Federal Reserve normalizing monetary policy. It outlines the Fed's three step process to a more normal policy: 1) increasing borrowing rates starting in late 2015, 2) ending reinvestment of maturing securities, and 3) shrinking its balance sheet. Lower oil prices that have added $1,000 to household income and nearly $2 trillion to GDP could offset tighter monetary policy. If stable, lower energy costs would allow central banks to adjust normalization based on oil prices and support achieving sustainable economic recovery as interest rates rise.
Jeremy Grantham: Summer Essays
Jeremy Grantham's quarterly letter analyzes the outsized growth of the banking industry in Western economies. Grantham argues that the 3% of GDP devoted to financial services in 1965 was sufficient, while the increase to 7.5% of GDP by 2007 provided little real value and instead taxed the rest of the economy. This extra spending on banking slowed the growth rate of the non-financial sector from 3.5% annually before 1965 to 2.4% between 1980 and 2007. Grantham believes the benefits of banking industry growth have accrued mostly to those receiving outsized bonuses, rather than the broader economy.
Fed Unwinding Webinar Slides 05-31-2017
The document discusses the Federal Reserve unwinding its balance sheet and the potential impact. It provides three potential scenarios for Fed unwinding:
1) Good scenario: The 10-year Treasury rises to 2.5%, the S&P 500 increases 12%, and inflation rises to 3.2% as the economy runs hot.
2) Neutral scenario: The 10-year Treasury rises to 2%, the S&P 500 falls 8%, and inflation increases slightly to 2.1% in a slow and steady unwinding.
3) Bad scenario: The 10-year Treasury rises to 2.5%, the S&P 500 declines 35% as unwinding pierces an equity bubble, and inflation increases

How Does the US Economy Affect the US Dollar?
When a Forex trader looks to the future in trading the US dollar, he or she watches for the factors that drive the currency higher and lower against others. One of the major factors is the strength of the US economy. How does the US economy affect the US dollar? The US dollar fell in value against other major currencies the other day when US retail sales missed estimates according to NASDAQ.
The U.S. Dollar was pressured against a basket of currencies on Monday after a government report showed retail sales data for September missed economists’ expectations.
A Commerce Department report on Monday showed that U.S. retail sales barely rose in September as a rebound in motor vehicle purchases was offset by the biggest drop in spending at restaurants and bars in nearly two years.
Other factors in the dollar’s decline were the prospect of trouble with Saudi Arabia in regard to the murder of Saudi reporter by Saudi security people and tightening of US Treasury yields.
Economic Reports That Affect the US Dollar
Investopedia explains how economic factors in an expansion can cause inflation which in turn weakens the dollar and how an economic contraction can cause deflation which makes the dollar more valuable. Forex traders who follow the fundamentals look at 5 reports that affect the dollar.

Keep in mind that the actual statistics are often less important than their direction (rising or falling) and their success or failure in meeting pre-release expectations.
Economy Update 5-August-2011
The document provides an economic update for Thailand and the US in Q2/2011. For Thailand, the economy continued to display positive trends in the supply and demand sides. Consumer confidence and retail sales increased. Export growth was strong while inflation remained low. For the US, GDP growth was weaker than expected and manufacturing indicators declined. Congress approved raising the debt ceiling to $16.4 trillion and establishing a bipartisan committee to identify $1.5 trillion in budget cuts to avert further credit downgrades.
End of inflation webinar slides
The document discusses inflation trends globally and risks of deflation. It summarizes that inflation rates have fallen below 2% in the US and Eurozone and are declining in emerging markets like China and India. It identifies factors fueling deflation risks like slowing population growth, rising automation displacing jobs, and oversupply in commodities markets. The document then outlines scenarios for how global deflation or unexpected inflation could impact financial markets and the Federal Reserve's ability to raise interest rates. The key takeaway is that inflation has fallen worldwide due to technology and demographic shifts, and quantitative easing has not reversed this deflationary environment.

5 Years since the financial crisis, how far has the world really moved?
This document examines how far the world economy has recovered since the 2008 global financial crisis. It finds that while most developed economies like the US, Germany, and Japan have seen moderate growth of around 2-7% since 2007, Italy still has 8.7% less economic activity. Emerging markets like China, India, and some BRIC nations have fared better, with China's economy nearly doubling in size. The top 10 economies by GDP, including developed nations and BRICs, contribute around 64% of total world economic activity. When measured by purchasing power parity, which accounts for domestic costs, BRIC nations make up an even larger share of around 29% of the global economy.

Five Misconceptions That Don't Make For Good Investment Decisions
This document discusses five common misconceptions about investment decisions and macroeconomic policies:
1. Printing money does not always lead to inflation, as demonstrated by Japan's experience with deflation despite monetary expansion. Other factors like demographics can impact inflation.
2. Money printing through quantitative easing may not be able to stop deflation in Europe due to structural issues like population aging reducing demand.
3. Devaluing currency does not guarantee getting out of economic trouble, as Japan struggled to control the yen's value for years despite intervention.
4. The euro is a political project, so its challenges may require political not just technical solutions. Money printing alone can't address issues like demographic changes.
Trump/Kim, the FOMC and ECB all crucial this week
After the acrimonious culmination of the G7 meeting at the weekend, financial markets are already looking forward to a hectic few days ahead. A crucial geopolitical summit between the US and North Korea, in addition to crucial central bank decisions from the FOMC and ECB. We consider the outlook on forex, equities and commodities markets.
Late 2000s Recession
This document discusses the late 2000s recession and its origins. It notes that recessions are normal fluctuations in the business cycle where macroeconomic quantities like output and unemployment move together. The recession had many interrelated causes, including the housing bubble and subsequent crash, loose lending standards and securitization of risky mortgages, underestimation of risk in financial markets, and excessive leverage and complexity in the financial system. This convergence of factors led to a stock market crash, financial crisis, and broader economic downturn on a global scale from 2007-2008.

It also provided investment recommendations to be long US fixed income, short the Australian dollar and BRICS currencies, and neutral on equities with a 25% allocation. Key predictions included recession in Germany and a near-recession in the US, as well as a peak in the US dollar in 2014 and its subsequent secular weakening.
Usdjpy for the week may 20
The USD/JPY pair surged last week, hitting a 5 year high of 103.31 as the US dollar climbed against the Japanese yen. A speech by Japanese Prime Minister Abe announced plans to boost infrastructure exports and capital spending, though the market showed little reaction. While Japanese government bond yields have fallen from their highs, optimism for Abe's policies remains higher than for any other leader. A recent government report showed Japan's GDP grew 3.5% annually in Q1, though continued drops in private investment could hamper growth. The analyst recommends buying the USD/JPY pair at current levels, as little suggests a significant fall given the Bank of Japan's efforts to weaken the yen.
China Troubles - July 2015
This document discusses China's economic troubles in 2015 and provides three scenarios for how events may unfold:
1) A "good" soft landing scenario where China's GDP remains above 7% despite a market hiccup.
2) A "bad" scenario where a Shanghai stock market crash occurs but has limited global impact.
3) An "ugly" scenario where China's "triple bubble" of debt, investments, and real estate pops, leading to China's first recession since 1980 and dragging down global growth.
Green Pearl Events Multifamily Investment Summit Gary Kachadurian Presentation
The macroeconomic situation remains tough. While the free-fall of financial markets and the economy has ceased, indicators have yet to show sustained growth. Consumers face high job losses, unemployment, and wealth declines while businesses have stabilized but see low profitability and regulatory uncertainty. Exports also remain weak due to global economic weakness. Government stimulus is having an impact but other policies are increasing uncertainty for consumers and businesses. Unemployment is expected to remain high for the foreseeable future.

Modern china
While China maintains communist rule by the Chinese Communist Party, it has adopted many capitalist economic reforms since the 1970s. This has led to massive economic growth and China becoming the world's second largest economy. However, political reforms have not kept pace, as China still suppresses dissent and restricts civil liberties. The document discusses China's transition from a communist command economy to a hybrid system that incorporates elements of capitalism, and whether China can still be considered a communist country given these significant economic and social changes over the past few decades.

Decision-Making in a Global Economy
In a recent State of the Union Address, the President of the United States announced the formation of the "National Export Initiative," an important endeavor that is necessary for long-term, sustainable economic growth for the country. The president's goal is to double exports within 5 years, which, it is hoped, should reduce unemployment by adding 2 million jobs.
This is the first time in history that the United States has put a real focus on government-wide export promotion.
Since then, the president has signed an Executive Order that formed the "Export Promotion Cabinet" within the presidential administration. The Department of Commerce is an important player in this initiative and is charged with making sure that U.S. businesses can actively participate in international markets by increasing their exports of goods, services, and agricultural products.

NASA is soliciting proposals from private companies to build a new rocket in 1960. Companies should submit a 5 part proposal including price. NASA will be the sole purchaser of rockets.
03 ch17 oligopoly
The three market structures are perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. They seem to depend on the number of firms in the industry and level of product differentiation. Oligopoly is characterized by having a few large firms, similar but not identical products, and interdependent decision making. The concentration ratio measures the percentage of total market output produced by the top four firms, with higher ratios indicating less competition. Several US industries have very high concentration ratios, including video game consoles at 100% and credit cards at 99%.
02 allocative efficiency
This document discusses different types of economic efficiency including allocative efficiency, productive efficiency, and dynamic efficiency. It examines these efficiencies in the context of perfect competition, monopoly, and monopolistic competition market structures. Productive efficiency refers to producing at lowest cost while dynamic efficiency involves reinvesting supernormal profits into lowering costs further. The document considers which market structure results in each type of efficiency.
01 monopolistic comp
This document contains snippets of text from various sources discussing economic concepts like market structures, competition, and costs. It includes brief explanations of perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly market types. Students are asked questions about different markets and perfect competition. Graphs are shown for perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and marginal revenue under monopolistic competition with deadweight loss.
01 3 reform
This document discusses the Reformation period in Christianity between 500-1500 AD. It provides background that during this time all Christians were Catholic, led by the Pope and bishops. The priests sold indulgences claiming they could reduce time in purgatory. Martin Luther protested the Catholic Church's corruption in 1517, sparking the Protestant reformation. Luther and other reformers disagreed with practices like selling indulgences and wanted people to be able to read the Bible in their own language. The document examines key figures and events of the Reformation like Martin Luther, his 95 Theses, and the new Protestant churches that formed.
Pharm mon to perfect
This document discusses demand for lifesaving pharmaceuticals and the pricing of drugs under a monopoly. It asks how the demand curve would look if a firm had a patent on a cure for cancer and what deadweight loss would be. It also asks if such a firm should be allowed to charge any price and how quantity supplied would change if the firm price discriminated. The document then provides a graph showing the transition from a monopoly market to a competitive market when a drug patent expires and generics enter. It asks about other similar markets and provides links about copyright and public domain works.
Price discriminating monopolist
This document discusses the concept of price discrimination. It begins by defining price discrimination as selling the same good at different prices to different buyers based on their willingness to pay. It provides examples such as student/senior discounts and differences in airline ticket prices. The document explains that under perfect price discrimination, a monopolist can capture all consumer surplus as profit and eliminate deadweight loss. However, in reality firms can only imperfectly discriminate by dividing customers into groups based on observable traits related to willingness to pay. It concludes by asking questions about whether price discrimination should always be illegal and discussing the "Soup Nazi" character from Seinfeld.
Monopoly types
This document discusses monopolies and public policy related to monopolies. It begins by explaining the key characteristics of a monopoly market, including that a monopoly has total pricing power as the sole seller of a good or service. It then discusses the different types of monopolies such as geographic, government-granted, technological, and natural monopolies. The document goes on to explain how a profit-maximizing monopoly determines its optimal quantity and price using demand and marginal cost curves. It notes that a monopoly produces a lower quantity and charges a higher price than would be produced under perfect competition, resulting in deadweight loss. Finally, it discusses various public policy options for dealing with monopolies, such as antitrust laws to increase competition, regulation

Mon printing press
The document discusses the impact of the printing press invention by Johannes Gutenberg in the 1400s-1600s. It notes that before the printing press, all books were handwritten which was a long and difficult process. The printing press allowed books and new ideas to spread widely across Europe, helping to end ignorance. This was a factor in the Renaissance period, a time of "rebirth" in European culture and society. The document suggests Gutenberg is one of the most important people to ever live due to his role in popularizing printing.
Shut down point and profit
The document contains examples and explanations of microeconomic concepts related to firm behavior including:
1. How a competitive firm determines its profit-maximizing quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
2. How the marginal cost curve determines the firm's supply decision - if price is above marginal cost, the firm will increase output.
3. The difference between a firm's short-run decision to shutdown if price is below average variable cost, versus its long-run decision to exit the market if price is below average total cost.
Black plague wed thur
The document discusses the deadliness of diseases over time. It mentions that the Black Plague killed 30-50% of Europe's population in the 1300s. Students are asked to compare graphs showing which diseases are not as deadly today and which two diseases remain deadly. The document also discusses a modern plague outbreak in Madagascar in 2013 and brainstorms ways the US and Madagascar governments could help prevent future outbreaks. Students are assigned to create a 4-page health pamphlet for people in the 1300s about the symptoms, prevention, and societal impacts of the Bubonic Plague.
04 black plague wed thur
The document discusses several deadly pandemics throughout history, including the Black Death plague which originated in China and spread along the Silk Road to Europe in the 14th century, killing an estimated 30-50% of the European population. Students are assigned to write a letter from a Silk Road trader during this time period describing how life has changed in Rome due to the plague, symptoms of the disease, and how to prevent its spread. Other assignments involve analyzing the impact of a modern disease outbreak and creating an educational pamphlet about the bubonic plague.
03 intolerance today
The document provides instructions for students to complete assignments on discrimination and religious intolerance. Students are asked to describe a time they witnessed discrimination and how they responded, and how they will respond in the future.

02 intolerance inquisition
The document discusses the religious protections guaranteed by the First Amendment and how countries may change if they adopted different state religions. It provides background on countries with official state religions, the concept of a theocracy where government is run by religious rules, and details about the Spanish Inquisition where the Catholic church ruled Spain and persecuted those who did not conform to Catholic doctrine.
01 end of crusades
Constantinople was important during the Crusades as it was the capital of the Byzantine Empire and controlled the trade routes between Europe and Asia. Spain was under Muslim control during the Crusades. The document provides notes about Crusades events like the Siege of Jerusalem in 1099 and Battle of Nicopolis in 1396, and asks questions about Crusader advantages and Ibn Fadlan's travels.
Perfect comp m t
This document discusses competition in markets through a series of examples and questions. It begins with an experiment involving different levels of competition and asks students to consider how it affects pricing power. It then discusses the benefits and drawbacks of competition for consumers and producers. Various market structures are introduced, including perfect competition as exemplified by markets like gasoline, salt, and paper clips. Firms in perfect competition are price takers, and the document explores how they can increase revenue and profit given these constraints.
Sports assignment
The Tohono O'odham tribe wants to build a soccer stadium next to their casino. This would create both positive and negative externalities for the local community and governments. Negative externalities could include increased traffic and noise, while positive externalities could include more jobs and tax revenue. Finding ways to minimize the harm to neighbors, such as addressing traffic issues, would help gain city support for financing the stadium project. Understanding the elasticity of demand for tickets, concessions, and merchandise through price changes would help the tribe maximize revenue.
Cost curves computer lab
This document provides instructions for creating graphs using an online graphing tool to illustrate various microeconomics concepts related to supply and demand, costs of production, and market equilibrium. Students are asked to create graphs showing: a unit elastic supply/demand curve with price controls; a market with negative externalities; the effect of a per unit tax; short-run cost curves and break-even analysis; and supply/demand shifts in response to current events. The final questions provide an additional economics game and a request for new classroom tools.
