Abstract
This paper studies how businesses are affected in times of economic recessions. The paper discusses globalization and how it has brought about the liberalization of economies and the interconnectivity of national economies. The paper also explains how this means that risks and effects can travel more quickly. The author characterizes economic recession as a decrease in the rhythm of economic growth in a country and gives suggestions for how businesses can combat the contraction of growth and decrease in consumer spending.
From the Paper
"Outsourcing to India and China has become the apparent optimal solution to resolve high labor prices in Western countries. In an economic recession, along with the movement of products and services to third countries, labor demand will also move to these countries. The only potential problems that may arise are related to the cultural differences with these third countries, as well as with the managerial differences and inaptitude in this sense of many of the managers in India, for example. This can generally be solved with training sessions, with the presence of a Western manager among the team, who can also play the role of a trainer, etc."

From the Paper
"Quality cut downs may not be noticeable in the short-run but in the long run consumers will notice if a company feels tries to save some money by cutting down on the quality of their products. If a company has developed a successful, great brand experience there is no reason in risking that by cutting down on the quality of your products and services. When a company is running a service there is usually give dimensions that quality is based on, the first being reliability which is the need to make sure the service is being performed dependably, and accurately. The second dimension is tangibles which are things like physical facilities, equipment, personnel, communication materials, etc. The third dimension is responsiveness, as the company needs to make sure they are giving the customer the most adequate service, as well as promptly giving that service. The fourth dimension is assurance, which is when a company conveys trust and confidence so the consumer does not have to worry about their service being completed. The last dimension is empathy; because consumers do not want an uncaring person handling a mistake when they are stressed enough, but much rather have a caring employee deal with the matter. All of the quality dimensions are really focused around keeping your product or service where it has been without raising costs, as well as keeping a healthy customer service sector on board to work through troubling economic times where consumers do not want to worry about services that have been loyal to them in the past.

Abstract
This paper provides an in-depth look at the Japanese economy before and after the collapse of the Tokyo stock-market which occurred at the start of the current recession. It shows how Japan was considered to be the perfect economy and idealized by the West with regard to its statistics on growth, unemployment and productivity. Causes of the collapse are analyzed. The writer presents many statistics about the current economic state and looks at the government's plans to boost the economy.
From the Paper
"The revisionists asserted that, in contrast to the open-market capitalism of the "Anglo-American" model, Japan practiced a unique form of state-directed insider capitalism. Under that model, close relationships among business executives, bankers, and government officials strongly influence economic outcomes. By strategically allocating capital through a tightly controlled banking system, they argued, Japan would drive foreign competitors out of sector after sector, leading eventually to world economic domination. (Thompson, 1997)
"Sooner or later, the United States must come to grips with the fact that Japan has become the leading industrial nation in the world. The Japanese have the longest life span. They have the highest employment, the highest literacy, and the smallest gap between rich and poor. Their manufacturing products have the highest quality."

Abstract
This paper hypothesizes that the economic difficulties currently encountered by the United States are not just a temporary shortage but rather represent the path to recession and that the economic recession in the U.S. not only affects the citizens of America but also citizens of other countries. The author describes the use of secondary data as the data collection plan. This data is presented in bullet point format. The paper concludes that this data is valid; thereby, the author concludes that the U.S. recession does effect the global economy.

Introduction
Research Hypotheses
Data Collection and Organization
Data Collected on U.S. Economic Status
Data Collected on the International Impact of the American Recession
Validity of Data
From the Paper
"The employees in the foreign countries directly working with the American multinationals will also be affected as the payment capabilities of the U.S. organizations will decrease; ergo, the outsourced jobs could also become reduced, generating decreased living standards and increased unemployment rates in the foreign countries.
"The global growth was based on large amounts of liquidities, held by the American banks as a results of corporate deposits - money derived from consumers' purchases."

The Current Economic Situation, 2002.
This paper discusses the current U.S. economic situation that defies customary, conventional suppositions of recession and boom.

Abstract
The paper states that at the core of economics is the study of human behavior in producing, distributing and consuming material goods and services in a world of scarce resources. The author feels that the United States must face the current economic situation with an eye to the scarcity of resources it possesses and the fact that no decision occurs without a component cost. The author underscores the fact that current common economic indicators, which do not perfectly obey the textbook definition of stasis, boom or recession, only exacerbates the sense of indecision around how to manage this current situation.
From the Paper
"The United States is currently in the grips of an economic situation that defies customary, conventional suppositions of recession and boom. The stock market is on shaky ground, having weathered one of the most crushing crashes over the past two years in recent memory, as well as a constant state of economic uncertainty in its technological sector. The market swings up for several weeks then back down again. Consumer confidence is down, even though the unemployment rate is above recession levels. Retirement funds are in jeopardy, yet the economy itself does not seem to be contracting. The United States government is facing a budgetary crisis, yet it also must budget for war. It wishes to lower income taxes to stimulate the economy, yet not face an overwhelming deficit."

Abstract
This paper discusses the several factors responsible for the economic slowdown in South East Asian countries in recent years, including headings like the Asian Crisis and the Second World Economic Crisis. Graphs. There are statistics cited throughout the paper to support and balance the discussion.
From the Paper
"The East Asian economic miraculous growth since the 1980s has came to an abrupt end with the Asian financial crisis from 1997 to 1998 (Cheong, 2001), and it has contributed significantly to the slowdown of Japan and the four Asian Tigers. There are several factors that led to the Asian Crisis in July 1997. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) (1999), the difficulties that East Asian countries faced were not primarily the result of macroeconomic imbalances. Rather, these stemmed from weaknesses in their financial systems and governance. Most were having budget surpluses, external surpluses, but low inflation. The maintenance of relatively fixed exchange rates led banks and corporations to borrow large amounts of international capital, much of it short-term, that are denominated in foreign currency, and unhedged. Also, as the contagion spread to Korea, the world?s eleventh largest economy, the possibility of a default by Korea raised a potential threat to the international monetary system (IMF, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper addresses the question of whether the present recession in the U.S. will be aggravated by the Sept. 11th attacks. The paper looks at how the collapse of the "Internet Economy' in early 2001 which lead to decreased spending and consumer confidence even before 9/11, is causing the Federal Government to work double time to ensure that the US economy is spared an even greater blow than it has already experienced. The paper then examines some of the options available to the government in its efforts to best ensure a return to prosperity.
From the paper:
"One of the most obvious victims of the terror attacks has been consumer confidence ? which was already shaky in the light of the economic slowdown in the months before September ? a slowdown this week confirmed as the economy was declared in a recession back to March...
The Fed?s generally positive assessment of the U.S.?s $10-trillion economy last year has shifted, in part due to the terrorist attacks and in part due to the softening economy, which itself must be seen as in part caused by the massive Bush tax rebates that have caused the federal surplus to vanish like mist in the sunlight. Last year at most of its meetings last year it maintained the Discount Rate, this year even as the economy began to slow down, a fact that for the Fed was mitigated by its warnings about the inflationary posed by the nation's tight labor market (the jobless rate continues near its lowest level in a generation) and a sharp rise in energy prices.
The absence of such key economic indicators showing a slowed rate of growth last year prompted the Fed to maintain or raise its Discount rate, just as the presence of a number of economic indicators (such as high unemployment, falling sales of new homes or other indications of disinclination toward consumer spending and a general decline in leading economic indicators that predict how the economy will likely fare in three to six months? time) have this year prompted the Fed to lower its Discount rate. As the high-tech sector continues to disintegrate, consumer confidence continues to fall and the recession has been made official, observers now wonder exactly how low the Fed can go."

The Economic Cost of War on Israel, 2002.
Studies the effect of Israel?s war of attrition with the Palestinians on Israel's economy.
2,065 words (approx. 8.3 pages), 5 sources, APA, AU$ 85.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer compares the Israeli economy with the macroeconomic model pertaining to the circular flow of money through the economy, observing that the contraction occurring among the main economic actors (households and business sector) is not being reflected in the conduct of the Israeli government. The paper argues that the government is forced to maintain its level of military expenditure to counter the increasing level of violence the war is generating. With Israel?s contribution to the international export markets evaporating combined with decreasing business sentiment and consumer confidence, not to mention increasing dependence on the U.S. for foreign aid, the future of Israel?s economic health does not bode well. The paper also argues that Israel needs to establish true peace before it can hope to overcome its economic recession.
From the Paper
"Israel is an economy that has previously defied economic forecasts. Up until recently, its economy did not comply with the normal prerequisites for success. However, with the escalating presence of its war of attrition with Palestine, the factors that were once driving its economic growth and defying its detractors, is now slowly being eroded by its increasing commitment to fighting Palestine. This paper endeavors to explore the factors that once drove Israel?s economic growth and the aspects of the Israel-Palestinian war that are now hampering Israel?s economic health. By comparing the case of Israel to standard macroeconomic models, one can observe the unique case posed by Israel?s economy."

Abstract
This paper explores the recession that the United States is now experiencing, and how it affects everything from large business like the airline industry to paying for tonight's supper . The author also discusses how we can prevent or slow down future recessions. The paper focuses the recession on a microeconomic scale, applying it to the author's own Western Kentucky.
From the Paper:
"The recession has impacted almost everyone in our surrounding community, whether they were impacted directly or indirectly. It has impacted local small businesses, large industries and companies, as well as individuals and families. All people in the economy are impacted by a recession. However, from the current information that I have obtained, it looks as if the economy is on the rise and will soon be back to normal. Recession is a serious issue, but hopefully our current let down in economy has been a learning experience and next time we will be better prepared and can prevent an equal disaster."

Abstract
The paper relates that as the major economic engine in the global economy, any major spikes in the U.S. economy will have concomitant effects on the global economy as well. The paper then discusses how the rising cost of energy has emerged as one of the most important factors in the debate over the relationship of the U.S. economy and the larger global economy. Next, the paper examines growth patterns in the global economy and identifies the impact of recessions in the U.S. on the global economy. In addition, the paper explores current and future economic trends and reveals that developing nations in particular appear to be most vulnerable to recessionary periods in the U.S. economy.
Outline:
Introduction
Energy, Energy, Energy
Asynchronous and Synchronous Growth Patterns in the Global Economy
Identifying the Impact of Recessions in the U.S. on Global Economy
Current and Future Trends
From the Paper
"Because resources are by definition scarce, it is not surprising that energy has emerged as one of the most important factors involved in the current debate over the inextricable relationship of the U.S. economy and the larger global economy in which it competes. As many cities across the country witness $4.00-a-gallon-plus gasoline today, the predictions made by Verleger (2006) may seem eerily accurate, but still painful as the skyrocketing costs of energy can reasonably be assumed to contribute to downturns in economic growth. As this author cautioned two years ago, "In 2006, inflation rates may rise to above 5 percent in the United States if economic growth continues at current rates, even if the dollar holds its value. Such an increase in inflation would be caused by economic growth that would pull oil prices to $100 per barrel" (Verleger 16). Indeed, among the constellation of economic metrics that tend to influence recessionary periods and the ripple effect on the global economy are these rising energy costs."

Abstract
This paper looks at the national objectives of Japan: Economic growth, social stability, and the peculiar Japanese methodologies to achieve each. The writer of this paper shows economic growth of Japan in the postwar period. Itconcludes with an explanation on the cause and effect relationship between the monetary as well as the non-monetary characteristics that led to the recession.
From the Paper
"The integral and compatible functioning of these two systems brings about an upsurge in government spending, resulting in boosting end-user spending, as well as corporate and commercial investments. Thus, if the systems were effectively sustained, the economy could be revived from the recession era, compensating for and recovering the losses incurred through the slump."

Abstract
This paper is an in-depth analysis of the affects of September 11th on the Japanese economy. Several different factors contributing to the deepening recession in Japan are examined in detail, including unemployment statistics, the findings of the Bank of Japan's Tanken survey, suicide figures and corporate restructuring. The changes in people's behavior, including expense accounts, dress and spending habits as a result of this recession and the change in Japan's credit rating and its affect on how government policy is affected by this change are also discussed in detail. The author also presents some of the government's policy attempts at dealing with this problem including new economic policies, tax reform, privatization schemes and the restructuring of the banking system. The effects that this has had on Japan's relations with China, especially in its trade relations are also discussed in detail.
Extensive bibliography but no footnotes, or endnotes.
From the Paper
"According to a recent article in Bloomberg News entitled ?Think Japan?s Economy is Bad Now? Just Wait,? the situation will only get worse.' ? ?It?s here where things get ugly,? ? the article states. ? ?As unemployment rises beyond today?s record 5 percent, consumers may spend less. If already frugal households buy less, corporate profits fall further and so do asset values. Banks, then, may be forced to let more companies fail, boosting unemployment and reducing corporate profits. And so on and so on.? ? This is the very cycle Japan?s policy makers have been dreading for years. To date, Tokyo has held things together with ultra-low interest rates and aggressive fiscal spending. Now that borrowing costs are at zero percent and Tokyo has papered markets with more bonds than investors can use, that?s no longer possible. Credit rating agencies are sniffing around Japan?s finances, wondering if it?s time for another downgrade."

Economic Growth, 2005.
This paper discusses domestic and international economic growth factors, which are especially important to financial managers.
765 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, domestically, two of the most important current economic problems are inflation and interest rates; whereas, internationally, long term stability and America's shift to an aggressive mode of economics are the central issues. The author points out that these factors mean that financial managers must be up with the game--alert, prepared and bold--by adopting a more aggressive regime with better communications and heavy investment in the private sector. The paper stresses that being bold and aggressive does not always refer to investing because excessive growth is as dangerous as excessive recession; therefore, the best financial managers are the ones who most successfully operate within this balance.
From the Paper
"This long-term growth in America, peaking now in the last two years, with hopes to continue to steadily grow, has been in sharp contrast to the general recession the rest of the world has felt over the last decade. Especially hard hit in recent years were countries in Asia, who collapsed when many of their principal financial institutions crashed. While America's economy has been steadily growing and expanding, many countries around the world are facing difficult restructuring to maintain competitiveness in the global market. America's aggressive, private-sector has pushed the bar further in creating the monster that has become a truly global economy."

Economic Stimulus Plans, 2002.
An analysis of President Bush and the Democrat's economic stimulus plans.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how while no longer in recession, the United States economy continues to grow at an anemic rate and how President Bush has proposed a stimulus package and the Democrats have countered with their own. It debates whether the politicians are looking to gain popularity or truly focus on the real economical issue concerning the livelihood of working Americans. It evaluates both plans and shows how even though they both have positive attributes that would be vital in the economic stimulus of the economy, both parties should reach a consensus that will quickly aid the financial plight of the Americans who are out of work.
From the Paper
"President Bush?s proposal (2003) would be worth up to $300 billion over period of ten years. Working Americans would find more money in their paychecks this year if Congress chooses to decrease the tax rate that is currently in place. This plan is set to take effect in 2004. Advisers say that proposal will likely exclude top-tier taxpayers in an effort to fend off Democratic criticism that the President?s tax programs cater to the rich. The administration has maintained that those tax cuts helped save the economy from getting worse, and that more cuts could hasten a full recovery. Advisers say the administration has been sensitive to the debate over whether benefits should be aimed at the rich or middle- and lower-income households. Advocates say the plan will include as much as a fifty percent reduction of taxes on dividends to individuals as well as corporate tax breaks that are designed to encourage companies to create jobs by investing in expansion."

Abstract
Japan is currently in its worst recession since World War II. The country?s economy slowed dramatically in the early 1990s after the bubble economy of the 1970s and 1980s. This paper takes a detailed look at what caused Japan?s economic crisis and subsequent problems related to the declining Gross Domestic Product (GDP), failed stimulus packages, banking inefficiencies, ineffective interest rate policies, deflation, currency devaluation, and Japan?s aging population. Given a consideration of all these factors, the writer makes recommendations most likely to have a positive impact in rejuvenating Japan?s struggling economy. The paper concludes that Japan?s best course of action includes raising its nominal GDP by increasing its monetary base, engaging in massive bank restructuring, using inflation targeting techniques, and putting distressed real estate and other foreclosed collateral on the market.
From the Paper
"In early 1990, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates and put a squeeze on credit. But it was done too abruptly. As a result, the Stock Exchange soon lost half its value and property prices dropped by sixty percent to eighty percent. The banks, finding themselves with a mountain of bad debt, drastically cut back credit. This in turn led to the collapse of thousands of small and medium-sized companies. All this has created a profound sense of shock contributing to negative growth. The Unemployment rate of 5.4 percent in 2002 now stands higher than at any point since 1953."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores Mexico?s demographics and key economic statistics and activities to assess this country?s current circumstances and to make predictions for its future prospects. The writer argues that while the recession is negatively impacting most countries, it?s more important to understand if they are prepared to emerge as stronger economies when the recovery takes place. It states that indicators such as infrastructure, resources, and trade policies hold the answer to this question.
From the Paper
"In 2002, Mexico?s population totaled 103,400,165. At this time, the population growth rate was 1.47 percent and the birth rate was 22.36 births/1,000. The majority of Mexicans, 62.7 percent, are between the ages of 15-64 (male 17,310,230, female 16,630,935). Approximately 32.8% are 0-14 years old (male 31,552,877, female 33,246,668), and only 4.5% are 65 years and over (male 2,069,826, female 2,589,629). According to the U.S. Department of State, almost 70% of the population lives in urban areas in 2000. Because of the lack of job opportunities, many Mexicans have emigrated from rural areas such as the underdeveloped southern states and the crowded central plateau to either more industrialized urban centers or developing areas along the U.S.-Mexico border. Mexico City?s population is a huge problem, with more than 18 million residents, making it the largest concentration of population in the Western Hemisphere. Rural population density was estimated to be 98 people per square kilometer in 1997. "
