Taylors Rule on US Economic Bubbles There have been various Economic bubbles throughout U.S history, which have led to global recessions that have affected millions of people worldwide. One of the primary reasons for these bubbles is the Federal Reserves influence on the Federal Funds Rate; an interest rate at which a depository institution lends funds, which is determined mainly by the Federal Open Market Committee. If a Federal organization has such power in their hands, then why are they failing to control it? John Taylor designed his rule in order to forecast the federal funds rate, which he believes gives a more precise estimation on what the Federal Funds Rate, should be, by suggesting how the central bank should adjust interest rates…

David Berkowitz, also known as the Son of Sam, is a serial killer who is well known for terrorizing young couples of New York. He began his series of shootings in the summer of 1976, and by July 1977 he had killed six victims and wounded seven others.

Knowing if they had the largest bubble or not would possibly affect their business decisions. In answering these questions, Tantrum Toys could gage whether or not their newest…

1.) In the realm of public policy, some individuals argue that “bubbles” are not the problem, but they are the solution. I must firmly disagree with that belief. Before I state why I disagree, let me first define what a bubble is in this context.

Bubbles, in an economic sense, are an economic cycle characterized by rapid expansion followed by a…

One may argue that economic crisis and economic growth go hand-in-hand. A very frequent source of economic crisis are speculative bubbles which essentially tailspin our economy into a euphoric state. They fill our investors with irrational exuberance, and coax them to go on an expensive investing spree. This goes on until the speculative behaviour flings our…

Before the housing bubble burst, unemployment in Lake County averaged around the same as the rest of Florida (and less than the United States as a whole before 2008) then it jumped above both the state and national averages (that were themselves also increasing) from 2008 through 2013, peaking at 12 percent in 2010 (Lake County Gov).
