The recovery in the national commercial real estate market must be in full swing if USA Today is discussing it. The national newspaper ran a short piece Sunday highlighting how the industry is improving faster than what analysts originally predicted. On a much larger scale, the article noted how this recovery is great news for the national economy, which continues to face several obstacles. The article said the following:
This Article presents a novel theory of the political economy of transnational crime control, answering three consecutive questions. First, why does crime travel across national borders? The Article demonstrates that in the globalized economy, profit-driven crime (e.g., money laundering, drug trafficking, gaming, and the sex trade) responds-much like legitimate economic activity-to local regulation by shifting to the territorial jurisdictions in which it incurs lower expected sanctions, making it most profitable for criminals. Second, how do governments react to the international mobility of criminal activity? The Article argues that the crime control policies adopted by individual states influence the global distribution of transnational crime, and that they subsequently influence the ...

Wonders why WIPP's getting good press Sunday's front-page article, "WIPP Wonders" had me "wondering" if the nuclear industry paid someone to publish it. Offering no substantive opposing views, the article blatantly cheerleads WIPP, declaring it "a valuable national asset" and "a boon to the economy of New Mexico.
The economic data are now available to support what most people have felt for some time now -- the US economy is in recession, and according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, has been in recession since December 2007. Ultimately, it was the bursting of the housing bubble of the early 2000s that sparked this recession. Overall, the current recession is characterized by a dramatic global deleveraging on the part of households, businesses, and governments. The purpose of this article is to examine this deleveraging by first discussing how the global economy became so leveraged to begin with, and then, by considering the implications of deleveraging in both the short- and long-term. A prolonged period of below-average consumption growth could result in sluggish recovery for South...

Economics, as a discipline, has grown substantially from its early roots of political economy and philosophy. Not only has the discipline itself evolved over time, but nearly everything about it has changed, from the topics we examine, the tools we use, and the way it is taught. Economics, however, has always had a basis in international analysis, though while once presumed goal of that analysis was national enrichment it is now more likely to be global production enhancement, leading to rising standards of living everywhere. This paper analyzes the experience of one University Department of Economics as it makes it way toward internationalization. This article demonstrates how fairly simple changes in even principles courses (the incorporation of case studies) has markedly changed the ...
Immigration from abroad has increased dramatically since the 1960s, as workers from less developed countries have moved to the US in search of higher wages. One way immigration affects the economy is through the labor market. At the national level, immigration is widely believed to harm native workers with similar skills by reducing their wages or their probability of obtaining a job. Some natives may move out of these markets to avoid a cut in wages, and other natives may avoid these markets even if they would be well suited to living there on other grounds. This article sheds new light on the impact of immigration on the allocation of workers across markets. The authors conclude that the impact of immigration on the geographic allocation of labor is neither as harmful as immigration o...
Congress has consistently struggled with balancing regulation of foreign direct investment (FDI) so as to protect the national security of the US while promoting foreign investment that improves the US economy. Congress has often enacted these FDI regulations in response to a real or perceived threat to national security. Congress passed the latest installment of FDI regulation, the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 (FINSA), and it became effective in October 2007. Part II of this article examines the history of the specific laws that Congress has passed to regulate FDI, the threats to national security that prompted congressional action, and the details of the current law after FINSA. Part III details the FINSA modifications to existing FDI regulation. Finally, in Pa...
The Center for Union Facts was inaugurated in February 2006, in a highly visible campaign, with the placement of full-page advertisements in a number of the US' leading daily newspapers, including The New York Times The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal, attacking unions as corrupt and as damaging to the economy. This article will proceed in the following manner. The first section will provide a review of the literature concerning previous research studies on employee firings occurring during union organizing drives. The second section will outline the major arguments, methodology and findings presented in "Union Math, Union Myths." It seems plausible that one of the major reasons for the writing of "Union Math, Union Myths" is to demonstrate that the severe problems that uni...
