Mexico’s Financial Crisis.
MEXICO'S FINANCIAL CRISIS This essay is engineered at discussing and analyzing the Financial Sector Crisis experienced by Mexico in late 1994, labeled the 'PESO CRISIS'. The crisis of international investor confidence in Mexico expanded to several other Latin American countries, notably Argentina. In analyzing this particular event, we will first examine what caused the collapse. We will proceed to look at situations that may have led to this event. The discussion will be formulated into multiple aspects, namely factors surrounding policies in place, the economic and non-economic environment prior to, during and after the crisis. However, the broader aspect of our discussion will reflect a macro and then a micro economic perspective. When we speak of Macro, we will be specifically referring to Government policies and Macro-economic indicators i.e. Inflation, Exchange rate, Interest rates. From a Micro- perspective, we shall look at the effects on financial institutions, as well as the management practices exercised by some of these institution's leaders. In addition, we will delve into other factors that may have led, whether directly or indirectly, to what some analysts have termed the worst crisis of the 20th century. We shall open our discussion by first defining what is a financial sector crisis and the importance of a strong economy to the general well being of a

GCSE Economics Coursework Do high house prices in Trafford deter key public sector workers from seeking a job in the area? Contents Introduction Key Terms House Prices in Trafford 4 Key Public Sector Workers 5 Determinants of House Prices 6 Questionnaire 0 Questionnaire Results 1 Interview 4 Market Failure 5 Government Intervention 6 Conclusion 7 Evaluation 8 Bibliography 9 Introduction The price of housing in Trafford deters key public sector workers from seeking a job in that area. I will be investigating the relationship between house prices in Trafford and key public sector workers in Trafford. The house prices in Trafford are the highest in all of Greater Manchester and this could prevent public sector workers seeking work in Trafford. In order to investigate this I will: * Identify and highlight key terms * Research how house prices are determined and house prices in Trafford * Use supply and demand diagrams to illustrate the housing market * Conduct research into key public sector workers * Relate the research to the hypothesis * Describe any other problems and any government intervention that may be suitable I predict that public sector workers will be deterred from seeking work in Trafford due to house prices. House prices are higher in Trafford than anywhere else in Greater Manchester, as seen on page 4. Because of this, public

The last 15-20 years have witnessed very unusual events in the former communist societies. After USSR went to pieces, communist's principles of planned economy have been widely rejected and replaced by willingness to admit democratic principles and market economy. There are several reasons why the task of designing this transition
Local, national and European economies impact on two contrasting organisations within the UK, Vauxhall Motors and JD Wetherspoon.
LOCAL, NATIONAL AND EUROPEAN ECONOMIES IMPACT ON VAUXHALL MOTORS AND JD WETHERSPOON Introduction In investigating to what extent local, national and European economies impact on two contrasting organisations within the UK, Vauxhall Motors and JD Wetherspoon provide a interesting and informative perspective to base this on. An organisation has traditionally been defined as a group of people with a common purpose. According to this view, the organisation is a distinct entity separate from its environment. This means that if the organisations environment changes the organisations has to adapt. So in looking at economics, which is essentially an organisations environment, you need to understand what exactly economics are. The fact is economics affect our daily lives. Continually we are being made aware of local, national and international economic problems, and continually we are faced with economic problems and decisions of our own. Basically economics is essentially about money. This is measured by how much money people are paid, how much they spend, what it is costs to buy various items, how much moneys firms earn and how much money there is in total in the economy. But despite the large number of areas in which our lives are concerned with money, economics is more than just the study of money. There are many areas such as the production and consumption of goods, demand and
Introduction to the TV market
Introduction to the TV market Part of the leisure industry, the TV broadcasting has a unique market structure. As well as competing with other forms of entertainment, large broadcasters compete with each other for viewers while using different ways to raise revenue. There are three aspects in the TV market in the UK, broadcasting, television production and TV manufacturing. These markets provide goods or services that are complements of each other because complements are in joint demand which means that in demanding one good a consumer is likely to demand another. Here in demanding TV set, a consumer is also likely to demand channels as well. And the demand for television production is derived from the demand for TV channels. Goods have a derived demand when the demand for one good is dependent on the demand for another good. Channels and their broadcasters derives demand for TV production as they need production to make a programme schedule. The market for the viewing of TV is complicated by a number of factors: - There is not a direct price for the purchase of commercial terrestrial TV. - Public terrestrial TV is paid for by the licence fee. - Commercial terrestrial TV is 'free to air' and it is funded through advertising revenues that advertisers pay who in turn receive their money from consumers. - The product is not supplied under the normal market price
How is it possible that a tiny, carbon based stone could effect the lives of millions upon millions of Africans, as well as the economies of numerous African nations so drastically?
How is it possible that a tiny, carbon based stone could effect the lives of millions upon millions of Africans, as well as the economies of numerous African nations so drastically? The answer lies within human nature and our infatuation with these so called, "valuable," pieces of Earth. To own a diamond is the dream of countless people through out the world, but what most are not aware of, is the price that could have been paid to bring the gem to their hands. Innumerable innocent civilians have lost their lives; just so that special someone can look good for the night. Not all diamonds that come out of Africa are from areas in conflict, but it is estimated that up to 10-15% of the world's rough diamonds do. (NY Times) This is a scary statistic that should make a potential diamond purchasers think before he or she buys. In many parts of Africa, diamonds are the only means of industry. There are mines controlled by the governments, rebel groups and at the same time poor and desperate Africans dig through rocks in streams, hoping to find that one diamond that will feed their families for the week. Despite all of the violence and brutality, sales of diamonds actually rose 11% in 1999. In fact, Americans buy over half of the worlds diamond jewelry. (NY Times) These statistics point to the fact that most of the world is ignorant to the violence and brutality
'Critically assess the notion that 'corporatism' improves economic performance'. Does globalisation threaten or enhance corporatism? Under globalisation can we have corporatism given that corporatism is based on national based policies?
'Critically assess the notion that 'corporatism' improves economic performance'. Does globalisation threaten or enhance corporatism? Under globalisation can we have corporatism given that corporatism is based on national based policies? Few people agree on what the definition of corporatism is but in general it can be seen as the joint pursuit by employees and employers of their collective interest. It is a system of running a state using the power of organizations like businesses and labour unions that act, or purport to act, for large numbers of individuals. In the name of social justice and order, corporatism advocates a close collaboration between employers and workers under the direction of the state in all matters regarding conditions of work, wages, prices, production, and exchange. Its aim is to substitute "corporate" (that is, collective) considerations for the free play of the market and for competition. Corporatism involves centralised wage bargaining and besides wages, bargaining may also include government economic and social policies in which case the state is either formally or informally involved in the process. Under corporatism, the interests of individuals are collectively represented through particular groups. These are given explicit recognition by the state in its function of reconciling the competing demands of government policy. In return,

It examines the forces that effect large number of firms, consumers, workers at the same time. It contrasts with microeconomics which studies individual prices, quantities and markets. Many economists consider the development of macroeconomics to be one of the major break through of twentieth-century economics. Through the choices of macroeconomic policy a nation can substantially manipulate the direction in which it economy is moving. This essentially means that by employing several
