A federal hearing began in Baltimore yesterday for the last leg of a decade-long lawsuit to desegregate public housing in that city. U.S. District Judge Marvin J. Garbis ruled last year that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development had violated the Fair Housing Act by not taking a regional approach to desegregation in the six years prior to a lawsuit being filed in 1995. He cleared the city and its housing authority from liability. Plaintiffs in the class action, represented by six black tenants of public housing, are now asking Garbis to implement a remedy that would make available 6,750 housing units in communities of opportunity, mostly in the Baltimore suburbs. In his opening statement, plaintiffs' attorney Peter Buscemi outlined the proposed remedy to give those now liv...
This study reveals how a Korean monetary transmission mechanism evolves in the tumultuous decade of the 1990s. We show that (i) contractionary monetary policy shocks have more explanatory power for the post-crisis periods than for the pre-crisis period; (ii) the effects on output from external shocks attributed to the oil price and the U.S. federal fund rates are mixed; (iii) there is little positive spillover effect from the U.S. to Korea through the trade channel; and (iv) there is a positive spillover effect from the international capital market channel.

The economic meltdown during the last three years continues to cause numerous stakeholders to question how boards and senior executives are overseeing their organizations' most significant risk exposures. To gain a sense of the state of risk oversight across numerous industries and organizations, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission commissioned faculty in the Enterprise Risk Management Initiative at North Carolina State University to conduct a survey. The survey was targeted to individuals involved in leading enterprise risk management-related processes or who are knowledgeable about those efforts within their organization. Collectively, responses to questions suggest that management's reporting of top risk exposures to the board is occurring, but the un...

A group of systems engineers from academia, government, and industry has developed a list of 13 measures that engineers can use to forecast how well technical projects -- including R&D programs -- will ultimately fare. The measures, called leading indicators, resemble those that financial forecasters used to predict economic performance. Several of the indicators focus on risk. These indicators allow managements to determine whether or not a project team is dealing with potential risks at the right time, with the objective of minimizing them. The 13 leading indicators are: 1. requirements trends, 2. system definition change backlog trends, 3. interface trends, 4. requirements validation trends, 5. requirements verification trends, 6. work product approval trends, 7. review action cl...
Over the past two to three decades economics has played an increasingly important role in the development of U.S. antitrust enforcement and policy. This essay first reviews the major facets of U.S. antitrust enforcement and next reviews the ways in which economics - starting from a low base - has grown in importance in antitrust. The essay then highlights three antitrust areas in which the influence of economics has had the greatest influence: merger analysis, vertical relationships, and predatory pricing. The essay concludes with the identification of four antitrust areas where further economics analysis could have high returns.
