White households are more likely to hold stock investments than minority households. Stock ownership rates of minorities generally increased between 1992 and 2001, but between 2001 and 2004 the rate decreased significantly for each minority group studied but did not significantly change for White households. Multivariate analyses showed that the predicted rates for White households did not significantly change, but Black, Hispanic, and other (mostly Asian) households had significantly lower predicted rates of stock ownership in 2004 than in 2001, indicating that factors other than those in the model accounted for the decrease in minority rates. Changes in risk tolerance and demographic and economic characteristics could not explain the drop, indicating that other reasons such as respond...

With economic conditions looking up in Europe and the United States, more funds are expected to leave the emerging markets. DESPITE Malaysia recording a better-than-expected Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 7.2% for 2010 and a relatively low inflation rate of 2% in the fourth quarter, foreign funds are expected to shift to the European and American stock markets.
For the past several months, radio, television and newspaper stories have described worsening economic conditions in the United States and worldwide. Even venerable, well-known companies have suffered in this recession. The slowing real estate market, with declining prices and difficulty in obtaining credit, has taken its toll. Foreclosures are on the rise, and companies struggling to stay open have curtailed operations or terminated employees. As an employer, you may be wondering what you can do to weather this economic storm. For many companies, the largest overhead costs are payroll and employee benefits. Some employers simply lay off employees in troubled times and then struggle because they lack skilled workers. But proactive employers are looking for alternatives to the traditiona...
Statistics on the size and growth of the U.S. federal government, in addition to public statements by President Franklin Roosevelt, seem to indicate that the Great Depression was the primary event that caused the dramatic growth in government spending and intervention in the private sector that continues to the present day. Through a comparison of the economic conditions of the 1890s and the 1930s, the authors argue that post-1930 government growth in the United States is not the direct result of the Great Depression, but rather is a result of institutional, legal, and societal changes that began in the late 1800s. Thus, the Great Depression did likely trigger increases in government spending and regulatory involvement, but historical factors produced the conditions that tended to lend ...
For now, economic conditions are worse in the United States than in Europe or Asia, which is not surprising. After all, the made-in- America sub-prime mortgage crisis precipitated the current slowdown. Recent turmoil on Wall Street has spilled over somewhat into global financial markets, but automatic adjustments in trade and capital flows may yet protect the rest of the world from importing the worst of our near-term economic woes. Today's more promising conditions in Europe and elsewhere should not, however, be confused with a permanent re-ordering of the economic pecking order. Over the medium and long term, the United States retains an important economic advantage over much of the rest of the world. That advantage is a growing population of younger workers. In contrast, Europe and J...

World War I ended in 1918, and our country began to prosper for the next 10 years. It looked as if prosperity would go on forever. Congress thought it was a good time to raise taxes to pay World War I expenses. About that time, our industries started complaining. They had a hard time competing with the older, established industries of Europe. So Congress put a tariff on goods from Europe. Earlier, in 1913, President Wilson had figured that if the government could control the money supply, there would be no more depressions - ever. So he established the Federal Reserve System. It would carefully monitor economic conditions in 12 selected areas of the United States and restrict the money supply by raising or lowering interest rates as necessary (government-controlled economy).

The nation's leading presidential candidates dug in for a long electoral battle yesterday, but whoever wins will have to address the anger of voters in towns like LaPuerta, who blame economic conditions for the flight of half their residents to the United States. About 1,000 of the original 2,000 residents of this whitewashed rural town - whose name means "the door" - have made their way legally or illegally to the United States, almost all of them settling in Waukegan, Ill. Those left - wives, children, old men - survive on the dollars sent back to them.
