Kanwar AnandIs QE leading to an Asset Bubble in the Emerging Markets?
The global economy is steadily recovering. Unlike previous recessions, emerging market economies including China, Brazil, Russia, India and other major economies such as Australia, South Korea and Germany have led the way and strengthened the pace of the recovery. Some critics have expressed their opposition to an emerging asset bubble in these countries. The critics attribute this reasoning to the increased inflows of investment and the inflationary pressures on these countries. This article seeks to explain the impact of the financial crisis and how Quantitative Easing in the developed world may have impacted these countries.

Congressman Eric Cantor and Tax Cuts
Business Today:
In a recent letter to the editor published in the Wall Street Journal, Congressman Eric Cantor (R-VA), high-ranked House Republicans, wrote an opinion piece (titled: Tax fight, GOP Won't back down", published 9/20/2010) reflecting both good intentions and misapprehensions about how economic stimulation works. After cutting through the standard political rhetoric, the meat of Cantor's message is this: Reducing taxes on small businesses will allow them to hire more employees. This logic appears sound at first glance, but is upon closer inspection casuistical, showing the continued need to separate American taxation theory from that of the Reagan administration.
Oct 21WHO WILL TAKE THE OATH? A Look at the Future of Medical Practice in America
Like society at large, the medical profession has undergone significant changes in the last several decades -- progressing on many fronts, but regressing on others. Health reform promises to accelerate these changes in a variety of important ways. In this presentation, Kurt Mosley and Eric Casazza, executives with the nation's largest health care staffing firm examine where the medical profession has been, where it is going, and how both the health care industry and the patients it serves will be affected. The presentation focuses on the shifting landscape in physician supply and demand -- how the number of full time equivalent doctors is dwindling and how health reform will affect the availability of doctors and the viability of medicine as a profession. These issues are placed in the context of the overall economy and business environment. Health care now accounts for 17% of U.S. GDP annually -- close to $3 trillion. Increasingly, as health care goes, so goes the economy. This event will take place on Thursday, October 21 at 7:30 PM in Marx 101 and will offer a timely and thought provoking look at a subject likely to interest premed and economics students, physicians, health industry professionals and anyone who has or will be a physician's patient. A brief reception will follow the presentation. Please contact John Monagle (jmonagle@) or Philipp Bewerunge (pbewerun@) with any questions.
Oct 19What Do American Pie, The Fast and the Furious, and Love Actually Have in Common?
All of these films, along with hundreds of other popular titles, have been produced under the guidance of Ron Meyer, President and COO of Universal Studios, who will be coming to Princeton this coming Tuesday, October 19th. Mr. Meyer will be speaking to us at 7:30 PM in Dodds Auditorium about his remarkable career in the movie industry and then open the floor to questions from the audience. A high-school dropout with no formal education, Mr. Meyer has risen to become one of the most powerful names in the movie industry. Under his leadership, Universal has produced such Oscar-winning box-office hits as “Shakespeare in Love,” “Gladiator,” and “A Beautiful Mind.” This event will mainly be a Q&A session, so feel free to ask Mr. Meyer about anything you ever wanted to know about him. A brief reception will follow the event. Please contact Philipp Bewerunge (pbewerun@) with any questions.

What Happens if “The Next Big Thing” Isn’t Produced by the United States?
Since the Industrial Revolution the United States has been the cradle of invention. From Ford’s assembly line to the high tech boom of the 1980s, America has always depended on innovation to keep the world’s largest economy moving forward at a solid pace. However, we now find ourselves in dire straights; with the economic recovery stalled, the national debt ballooning and a failing stimulus package, the United States appears to be more than ever relying on The Next Big Thing to pull her out of the malaise and solve the economic ills of the past few years. Although innovation has been the panacea in the past, this time it could be different. Here’s why:

The Great Recession & The Greater Recovery
Economists, politicians & journalists have repeatedly compared the current recession to the Great Depression. There are certainly some similarities between the two business cycles. The Great Depression dramatically impacted people from all walks of life, there were major bank runs & severe panics in the credit markets that brought the economy to a complete halt and there was uncertainty as far as newer regulations were concerned. But we responded with fierce resilience to get ourselves back on the path to recovery. This included enactment of laws such as the Glass Steagall Act of 1933 which strengthened the financial regulatory framework, implementation of programs such as New Deal that improved our infrastructure & ultimately our decision to enter the Second World War that uplifted millions out of poverty & enabled the US to become a super economic power in the world.

Could Unemployment Benefits cause further Unemployment?
The Former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson in an interview with Good Morning America in February this year said that the economy is well on its path to recovery. ‘The Economist’ in July suggested that the recession may well have ended last year. Either way, we appear to be making a slow but steady climb out of the biggest recession since the Great Depression of the 1930’s. This climb out of the recession is primarily reflected in terms of the positive GDP growth rate, which was -6.8% in December 2008; with the 2008 average being -2.73%. The 2010 average currently stands at 3.05%, with a 5.6% growth in the last quarter.; the fastest growth rate in 6 years.
How is this positive change reflected in the employment?

America and China: Converging or Diverging Interests?
With China’s inhabitants representing nearly one-sixth of the world’s population, it’s no wonder their competitive edge has been in their labor workforce. For years American companies have been outsourcing production to countries like China where more affordable manufacturing costs have become profitable investments. Adding to their already competitive advantage, foreign exchange risk has rarely been a deciding factor with China because they have historically pegged the Yuan against the U.S. dollar. The announcement from the People’s Bank of China has now given American companies a reason to rethink about the costs associated with outsourcing to China; but has it given them a reason to take action? There are two lenses one can view this decision through. The optimist would believe the Chinese have loosened their policy to devalue the dollar against the Yuan in favor of both countries’ interests.

The Chinese Real Estate Bubble: Waiting to Burst?
Luxury cars roll down the streets, million dollar penthouses float above. Women and children walk into high-end stores while men walk along the streets in pressed suits. What may sound like Fifth Avenue in Manhattan is far from it. Instead, Shanghai, is taking the main stage as the Chinese real estate market skyrockets. In Shanghai, China’s most populous city, apartments in the financial district are selling for $45 million dollars a piece. Better yet, three to four of them are selling a month. Some apartments are adorned with Swarovski crystal embedded in the doors, crocodile skin bedposts and Versace chairs resting on the floors. Apartments are selling for $2,300 per square foot, beating out the average Manhattan apartment cost of $1,900 per square foot, a shocking find. Currently, becoming a homeowner has become one of the main proprieties in the lives of the middle class. Chinese economic policies have allowed nine out of ten middle class urban families to purchase a home.

New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo
With New York in a devastating financial crisis, New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo wants to step up as governor, believing he can turn around New York State from its pitfalls. Cuomo called the New York state government “disreputable and discredited” after the string of financial problems from bank failures to over-budgeting and severe corruption in Albany. The Attorney General plans on running on the platform of new ethic laws and independent monitors.
The current governor, David Patterson is currently under investigation and therefore has pulled out of the race. Governor Patterson had risen to power from lieutenant-governor after Eliot Spitzer was involved in a prostitution scandal. New York was one time a “national model” but now is a “national disgrace” according to Cuomo. He wants to work effortlessly to take the corruption out of Albany and aid in fixing the current financial crisis New York State is experiencing. Stay tuned to see if Cuomo gets the job.

Friendlier Private Student Loans
College students who have educational loans from private lenders could be looking forward to a more borrower-friendly environment if two recent pieces of Congressional legislation are passed. The first helping hand comes from the financial regulation bill under consideration in the Senate and the House. Although the Senate and the House are debating different versions of the bill, both versions of this key piece of legislation are promoting a consumer protection entity that would address borrower complaints about unfair private student loan practices and supervise the underwriting policies of private lenders. The second layer of protection comes in the form of the Private Student Loan Bankruptcy Fairness Act of 2010, which will allow for some of a borrower’s private student loans to be discharged if the person files for bankruptcy.
