Micro-finance is a left wing attack on the free enterprise system; as such, it ought to be opposed by all freedom lovers, at least in its present format. Other baggage weighing it down is, if not absolute fraud, then, what might well be considered at least serious chicanery. A further criticism is the cult-like behavior now surrounding it. The present paper offers a critique of it, and thus constitutes a defense of private markets. This claim is a matter of prudential judgment, not praxeology. Micro-finance constitutes an unwarranted attack on the free enterprise system; it relies on a philosophy of positive rights. There are other better ways to "cure poverty" than this misbegotten scheme. This initiative, paradoxically, exacerbates impoverishment by placing investment resources in han...

This paper reviews a bulk of the empirical studies on import demand estimates for Japan which findings are mixed and inconclusive. This review article contributes to the literature in at least two ways: 1. provide a detailed review on the papers which have studied the import demand behavior for Japan, and 2. discuss the issues of import demand framework with reference to Japan, in particular, the determinants of demand for imports. This is a survey paper, which reviews the studies that investigated Japan's import demand behavior in aggregate levels, particularly. This paper concludes that the results of Japan's import demand depend on the model specification and the estimation technique. This paper also reviews the issues, which are related to the candidate determinants of aggregate imp...

In early December 2008, the National Bureau of Economic Research announced its determination that the US economy had been in recession since December 2007, notwithstanding the positive growth in real gross domestic product registered during the first two quarters of 2008. Still, the economy grew by a quarterly average of nearly 1.9% during the first two quarters of 2008, fueled in part by a significant improvement in net exports as well as fiscal stimulus-supported personal consumption. Labor market conditions have weakened noticeably since late 2007 -- since the recession began in December 2007, a total of 3.6 million jobs have been lost. Rising food prices and the energy price surge through the middle of last year boosted headline inflation, which peaked at 5.6% in the 12 months throu...

Housing markets in the US and Canada are similar in many respects, but each has fared quite differently since the onset of the financial crisis. A comparison of the two markets suggests that relaxed lending standards likely played a critical role in the US housing bust. Some observers blame monetary policy for lowering interest rates over 2002-2005, pushing up housing demand, increasing residential investment, and raising housing prices. In this view, the monetary-policy-induced housing boom set the stage for an inevitable housing bust. Canada and the US experienced significant increases in house prices and residential investment from 2000 to 2006, though prices in Canada appreciated more slowly. The Canada-US comparison suggests the low interest rate policy of the central banks in both...
