Presentation at Texas Christian University\'s AddRan Festival Of Undergraduate Scholarship and Creativity, April 2009 and winner of TCU\'s Economic Department Award to Best Presentation in Economics.
The document summarizes key events leading up to and during the 2008 financial crisis. It discusses how the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates in the early 2000s, fueling a housing price bubble. It also explains how subprime lending increased and how financial innovations like collateralized debt obligations and credit default swaps contributed to increased leverage and risk in the system. When the housing market began to decline in 2006-2007 and subprime borrowers started to default, it led to a full-blown crisis in 2008 with the collapse of major investment banks and a stock market crash.
The document provides an overview of the global financial crisis of 2008. It discusses several key points:
- The US housing market boom from 2002-2006 led to a housing price bubble that eventually burst, contributing to the crisis. As housing prices declined sharply from their 2006 peak, foreclosures and defaults increased substantially.
- Loose monetary policy by the US Federal Reserve from 2002-2004, keeping interest rates low, fueled risky lending and the housing bubble. When rates rose in 2005-2006, the default rate on adjustable mortgages skyrocketed.
- Highly leveraged investment banks collapsed in 2008 as default rates rose due to declining lending standards. Stock prices around the world plummeted nearly 40
The document discusses the global financial crisis, its impact on India, and the country's medium-term economic challenges. It outlines the causes of the crisis, differences between its effects in the US/Europe versus India, measures taken by the RBI in response, and lessons learned. Key medium-term issues for India include the need for fiscal prudence to reduce deficits and inflation, adapting monetary policy to a growing economy, managing large capital flows, and further developing financial markets while ensuring stability.
In a speech following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and in the midst of the accompanying U.S. recession, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan made a declaration that turned the world of the investment bankers upside down. Greenspan declared that the FOMC (Federal Open Markets Committee) stood prepared to maintain a highly accommodative policy stance for as long as needed to promote satisfactory economic performance. Translated from central banker speak, what Greenspan meant is that he is willing to inflate the money supply and hence lower interest rates for as long as necessary to “revive” the economy and repair it from the shock it received on that fateful day. What this meant for investors in the U.S. Treasury bond market is that they were not going to make any money on U.S. treasury securities for a very long time. Smart investors, diverted from the bond market, scanned Wall Street for a similar low-risk, high-return investment that could take the place of U.S. Treasury securities, and they fell in love with residential mortgages. On September 18, 2008, after months of economic anxiety and several massive bailouts of distressed firms by the government, the stock market had its largest single-day drop since September 11, 2001. Officials and commentators declared an economic emergency and moved on two fronts. The Department of the Treasury and Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") dusted off a 1932 statute and invoked the Fed's authority to stabilize failing firms by lending them money, although some were allowed to fail.
The 2008 Global Financial Crisis was caused by a rise and fall in housing prices, loose monetary policy by the Fed that fueled risky lending, and the collapse of major investment banks due to their leveraged positions. It led to a recession characterized by falling home values, high unemployment, declining manufacturing and automotive industries, and financial losses for colleges. However, some developing countries were less impacted. The crisis also contributed to a shift in global power towards countries like China, India, and Brazil. Governments responded by reducing interest rates, increasing spending on infrastructure, lowering taxes and boosting transfer payments, and establishing funds to provide companies with access to capital.

Global economic crisis(2008), and i̇ts effect in Lithuania and Other Baltic c...Khaalid Barre
This article discusses the 2008 global economic crisis and its effects in Lithuania. It describes how Lithuania experienced rapid economic growth before the crisis, with GDP increasing 10.3% in some years. However, the country was unprepared for the crisis. When it hit in 2008, Lithuania's GDP declined sharply by about 15%. Like other Baltic states, Lithuania faced issues like production decreases, unemployment, inflation, and lower foreign investment. The government took some steps that lacked responsibility, like austerity measures that reduced incomes and consumer demand, weakening the domestic market further. Reviving Lithuania's economy required restoring population incomes and consumer demand.
The document summarizes the causes and effects of the 2008 financial crisis. It identifies low interest rates, lack of regulations, risky subprime lending, securitization of mortgages, and conflicts of interest between banks, rating agencies, and borrowers as contributing factors. Major effects included destruction of wealth, rising poverty, job losses, increased food stamp usage, and a domino effect of bank failures exacerbating the crisis. The crisis disproportionately hurt the poor and middle class while concentrating more wealth among the richest 1%.

This document discusses the causes and impacts of the 2007-2008 global financial crisis. It identifies several factors that contributed to the crisis, including low interest rates, excessive lending, deregulation, and the growth of risky financial instruments. The crisis began with the collapse of the US housing market and spread globally. While India's banking system was not directly impacted, the country still experienced effects such as declines in its stock and currency markets, slower industrial and export growth, job losses, and increased poverty. Agriculture, IT, and other sectors were also negatively impacted.
The document discusses the causes and impacts of the subprime mortgage crisis that began in 2008. It describes how loose lending practices led to many borrowers taking out loans they could not afford, resulting in mass foreclosures when borrowers defaulted. This undermined the mortgage industry and global credit markets. The crisis significantly impacted the US and European economies through loss of home equity and wealth, rising unemployment, and declining GDP.
2008 World Economic crisis, Global Meltdown, Global Financial CrisisJagmeet Singh Bajaj
The 2008 financial crisis was caused by a combination of factors: rising housing prices, risky lending practices, and overreliance on complex financial instruments. When the housing bubble burst, it exposed vulnerabilities throughout the financial system. Major investment banks collapsed and governments had to bail out firms like AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The crisis led to a global economic downturn, trillions in wealth destruction, and high unemployment in many countries. Governments addressed the crisis through stimulus spending, bank bailouts, and new financial regulations aimed at preventing future crises.
The Causes of the 2007-08 Financial Crisis: Investigative StudyPhil Goldney
A comprehensive study of the causes of the 2007-08 global Banking Crisis, incorporating primary research from industry professionals. The study amounts to approximately 6000 words. Please contact me for the extensive and comprehensive bibliography.
Term paper written for graduate economics course covering the causes of the 2008 global financial crisis and outlining the September 2009 G-20 meeting as it related to addressing the issue.
The Post provides comprehensive coverage of the financial crisis through its location in Washington D.C. and partnerships with other major news organizations. It analyzes the crisis from its early signs in 2004 through the present day recovery. During the crisis, it covered the effects on markets, housing, jobs and Main Street. It also closely tracked government policies and debates around regulating Wall Street and aiding struggling industries. In the post-crisis period, it has reported on the challenges of economic recovery and how growth has not benefitted all workers.
This document provides a summary of media coverage of the global financial crisis from mid-2007 to October 2008. It includes a timeline of key events, such as the bursting of the housing bubble in the US in 2007 and the bankruptcies of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns in 2008. It also outlines the causes and implications of the crisis, as well as recommendations for the future path forward. Tables of contents and methodology are included to provide structure and transparency around the sources and process used to develop the summary.
The global financial crisis began in 2007-2008 as a result of rising housing prices and subprime lending in the United States that led to defaults and losses for many banks and financial institutions. As the crisis spread, it caused stock market declines, a slowdown in economic activity, and concerns over the stability of major financial institutions around the world. Central banks responded by cutting interest rates and providing liquidity, while governments bailed out major banks and implemented economic stimulus programs. The crisis had significant impacts on unemployment, trade, foreign direct investment, and growth in both developed and developing countries worldwide.
The Great Recession of 2008 was the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. It originated in the United States due to a housing bubble and lax lending practices that led to many subprime mortgages being issued. As the housing market declined, it caused a financial crisis that spread globally. Major financial institutions collapsed and unemployment rose sharply in the US and Europe. The recession had significant impacts including job losses, declines in GDP, real estate prices and stock markets falling worldwide.
The financial crisis was caused by a combination of deregulation of the banking sector, lack of adequate supervision, and the application of flawed economic theories. Banks took on increasingly risky assets due to moral hazard from government guarantees. Their balance sheets became tightly linked to asset bubbles like the housing bubble. When the bubbles burst, banks' balance sheets crashed, threatening the financial system. To address the crisis, governments need Keynesian policies to sustain demand while banks deleverage by shrinking their inflated balance sheets. Recapitalizing banks will substitute government debt for private debt.
The document discusses the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis and its impact on the current global economic situation. It notes that the Asian crisis involved major economic problems in Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. This crisis contributed to an oversupply of US dollars that has impacted the global economy. Foreign investors flooded money into Asian countries without understanding the risks, fueling real estate and stock market bubbles. When the bubbles burst, it led to worldwide economic repercussions still being felt today.
The 2008 global economic crisis started in the US housing market but spread globally. It began as a financial crisis caused by factors like the housing bubble, poor lending practices, derivatives like CDOs and CDS, and excessive leverage or debt. This led to $30 trillion in destroyed financial assets worldwide. Governments implemented fiscal stimulus programs while central banks lowered interest rates to rescue economies. However, the full effects were prolonged and experts said recovery would not be until 2010 or beyond. New financial reforms have been introduced but regulators still struggle to prevent future crises given the pace of innovation and incentive for banks to circumvent rules in pursuit of profit.
world financial crisis 2008 and impact over the tourismGocha Sharvashidze
The 2008 financial crisis was preceded by a long period of rapid credit growth and low risk premiums. It began with the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in the US and fears that AIG would fail and take down major financial institutions. This led to write-downs of over $1 trillion for banks in the US, UK, and Eurozone. Interest rates fell sharply during the crisis. Tourism in Europe declined significantly as well.
Bubble spotting - Subprime Mortgage crisis / Housing bubble 2007-2008Benjamin Van As
In the early to mid 2000s a housing bubble was created due to easy access to credit. The fall-out once investment bubble popped nearly brought the banking sector to its knees
This short presentation (part of a series on bubbles) explained what happened
The document discusses the effects of the subprime crisis and Eurozone crisis on the world economy. It provides background on subprime loans and how loose lending standards contributed to the subprime crisis. The crisis spread through losses by financial institutions and investors, decreasing confidence and impacting markets. The Eurozone crisis began with Greece's debt problems and spread to other European nations with high debt levels. Causes included slow growth, shrinking credit, increased government spending, and austerity exacerbating issues. Both crises led to impacts like rising unemployment, falling business activity, and economic impacts.
This document provides an overview of the global financial crisis that began in 2008. It discusses the underlying factors such as easy credit conditions, international trade imbalances, and the bursting of real estate bubbles. It outlines some of the key events in the United States and Europe, such as the failures of Lehman Brothers, AIG, and other large financial institutions. It also summarizes the immediate effects on the economies of the US and UK, including rising unemployment, slowing GDP growth, and falling consumer confidence. Finally, it discusses the impact on and response of the Indian economy, including consequences for exports, the stock market, currency value, inflation, and economic growth.
The document summarizes the US subprime crisis and its aftermath. It discusses:
- The origins of the crisis in the collapse of subprime mortgage markets in 2007.
- How risky lending practices, deregulation, and the housing bubble led to the crisis.
- The key events like the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in 2008 that caused the crisis to spread globally.
- The consequences including economic recession in the US and worldwide, rising inequality, and diminished US influence internationally.
The document summarizes the subprime mortgage crisis that began in the United States in 2007 and its impacts globally. It discusses how loose lending practices in the US housing market led to a bubble that burst in 2006-2007. This caused ripple effects through the global financial system as US and European banks and financial institutions suffered huge losses, leading to a lack of liquidity and credit, government bailouts, and falling stock markets worldwide. While the crisis was still unfolding, there were debates around how long recovery might take and whether more reforms were still needed to stabilize the financial system.
This document discusses the global financial crisis that began in 2007. It describes how the crisis was triggered by a liquidity shortfall in the US banking system that resulted in collapsed financial institutions. The crisis contributed to business failures, declines in wealth, government financial commitments, and reduced economic activity worldwide. Housing markets also suffered with increased foreclosures. The crisis is considered the worst since the Great Depression. Multiple causes have been proposed and governments have implemented regulatory and monetary policies to stimulate economies and stabilize financial markets.
The document is a summer internship report that analyzes differences in credit ratings assigned by two major Indian credit rating agencies, CRISIL and ICRA, to the same set of companies. Through statistical analysis, the report finds significant differences in ratings between the two agencies across various industry sectors and for non-listed companies. It attributes these differences to the subjective nature of ratings and differences in rating methodologies, like ICRA considering loss given default while CRISIL focuses only on probability of default. The report concludes there are meaningful differences between ratings by CRISIL and ICRA even when evaluating the same companies.
The Financial Crisis of 2007-2008 was caused by a combination of global imbalances, low interest rates, and the rise in securitized products. Excess savings from countries like China and oil exporters lowered global interest rates and increased the flow of money into the US, fueling a housing boom. Securitization of subprime mortgages became popular and obscured risks, while low rates encouraged borrowing. When housing prices declined, widespread losses occurred, drying up liquidity and causing bank failures that spread globally. Proposed solutions focused on regulation, coordinated policies, and ensuring financial stability.

This document provides an overview of credit ratings and rating agencies in India. It discusses the four main types of investors, the role of rating agencies in providing guidance to investors with money, and defines what a credit rating is. It also summarizes the key factors considered in credit ratings like management quality, earnings prospects, financial strength, and risk. Rating agencies ensure dependability through independence and collective judgment. The document provides examples of rating scales and factors considered for bank ratings and equity assessments.
A project report on credit risk @ sbi project report mba finance By Babasab ...Babasab Patil
This document provides an overview of credit risk management at State Bank of India. It begins with an executive summary and background on credit risk. It then outlines the objectives, methodology, findings, recommendations, and conclusion of the project. The key points are that the project studied credit risk management procedures at SBI and found that its procedures are effective compared to other banks. It provided recommendations such as reducing interest rates and increasing lending to priority sectors like agriculture.
The Global Financial Crisis was caused by expanded lending to subprime borrowers in the US housing market who struggled to repay their loans, spreading losses to financial institutions globally through interconnected credit markets. The crisis impacted developing countries through lower exports due to reduced demand from industrial nations and less foreign investment as risk appetite declined. Central banks addressed the crisis through liquidity injections and government rescue plans, while major banks consolidated to avoid bankruptcy.
Credit ratings are evaluations of a debtor's ability to pay back debt, conducted by credit rating agencies. They use both public and private qualitative and quantitative information to assess risk of default. Credit ratings indicate the likelihood that bond obligations will be paid back and are used by investors to determine risk-return tradeoffs. Higher credit ratings indicate lower risk while lower ratings suggest higher risk of default. The document outlines the meaning and purpose of credit ratings, benefits to investors and companies, types of ratings, major credit rating agencies, and their methodology.
Credit ratings are opinions on the likelihood that a borrower will repay their debt. They are issued by independent rating agencies and help investors assess risk. The document discusses the history and role of credit ratings in India, provided by agencies such as CRISIL, the largest domestic rating agency. It outlines CRISIL's ratings scales and process for long-term and short-term instruments, corporate issuers, real estate projects, and developers.
This document discusses credit ratings and the credit rating agencies in India. It provides information on:
- What credit ratings are and how they estimate creditworthiness
- The four major credit rating agencies in India: CRISIL, ICRA, CARE, and FITCH India
- The regulation of credit rating agencies by SEBI and the requirements for registration
The document discusses issues of racial inequality and opportunity in Detroit and beyond. It argues that while some see Obama's election as signifying a post-racial era, racial disparities persist and disadvantage marginalized groups. Specifically, foreclosures have disproportionately impacted black and Latino communities. The document calls for a focus on targeted universalism, coalition building, and empowering community organizations like MOSES to promote social justice and equal opportunity.
The document provides an overview of media coverage and expert opinions on the US housing crisis and financial crisis from 2005 to 2010. It includes perspectives from that time period on whether a housing bubble existed, what factors contributed to the bubble, predictions of price declines or continued growth, explanations of key events that triggered the crisis in 2007-2008, discussions of government assistance programs, and predictions about the economic outlook and impact on individuals. A wide range of sources and viewpoints are featured from national real estate groups, economists, government officials, and analysts.

The American Dream: Dead, Alive, or on Hold?
What is the true state of the so- called “American Dream”
today? Is it still around, waiting to be achieved by those who work
hard enough, or is it effectively dead, killed off by the Great
Recession and the economic hardships that many Americans have
come to face? Statistics reveal alarming facts, including trillions of
dollars lost in the stock market (Paradis, 2009). While these losses,
combined with admittedly high unemployment in the past few
years, have contributed to seemingly dismal prospects for
prosperity in the United States, I believe that the ideals and values
of the American Dream are still very much alive. In fact, the
original term “American Dream” was coined during the Great
Depression by James Truslow Adams, who wrote that the American
dream “is that dream of a land in which life should be better and
richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according
to ability and achievement, regardless of social class or
circumstances of birth” (1931). I would redefine the American
Dream today as the potential to work for an honest, secure way of
life and save for the future. Many liberal economists and activists
say that the American Dream is dead, but I say that it’s more alive
and important than ever— and that it is the key to climbing out of
the Great Recession, overcoming inequality, and achieving true
prosperity.
Despite the harshness of the Great Recession, a 2009 New
York Times survey found that 72 percent of Americans still believed
it was possible to start poor, work hard, and become rich in
America (Seelye, 2009). In the same survey, Americans were also

asked questions about what they believed constituted being
“successful,” with the majority naming things such as a steady job,
financial security for the future, being able to retire without
struggling, and having a secure place of residence. Less common
were responses about owning a home or car and being able to buy
other expensive goods, implying a subtle shift from the American
Dream of the past to a more modest one today. In many ways, the
American Dream of today is a trimmed down version of its former
self. The real sign of success in our society used to be owning
expensive items, namely cars and homes, and acquiring more
material wealth. Living the American Dream meant going from
dirt poor to filthy rich and becoming more than you could have
ever imagined. Today, most people do not strive for a rags- to-
riches transition, and instead prefer a stable, middle- class lifestyle,
one in which they can focus on saving money for the future and
having secure employment. For example, more ...

There are several key factors that can contribute to homelessness:
1) High housing costs and a lack of affordable housing mean that many low-income households spend over half of their income on rent.
2) Unemployment and underemployment make it difficult for people to pay rent if they lose their job or have reduced hours.
3) Those struggling with substance abuse issues, mental illness, or domestic violence are also more vulnerable to becoming homeless. About a third of homeless adults have a substance abuse problem and over 10% are domestic violence victims.

22% of homes in the US have serious health and safety issues. Rent in Michigan averages $844 per month while the average renter wage is $13.70 per hour, not enough to afford market rate housing. Renters in Michigan are over 4 times as likely as homeowners to experience housing problems like inadequate facilities or overcrowding. Declining homeownership rates and rising rents put pressure on the rental market, driving up prices while giving landlords little incentive to repair properties. Racial disparities persist, with homeownership rates around 45-58% for minorities compared to 78% for whites.

"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.
