Hello!
I have some announcements to make:
1) We will have a short meeting this Wednesday at the usual time/place. Prizes will be distributed then for the PSUEA FALL '09 Investing Challenge!
2) Also, I would really like to thank Jess and Morgan for really making the Philadelphia Fed Policy Forum trip a great success. Entitled Policy Lessons from the Economic & Financial Crisis, some of the best economists in the field gave presentations on the actions of our government pertaining to how monetary/fiscal policy has been (or should be) implemented.
Some speakers were:
- Charles Plosser: President of the Fed bank of Philadelphia
- James Bullard: President of the Fed bank of St. Louis. "Three Lessons from the Panic of 2008"
- John Taylor: Stanford University "Getting Back on Track"
- Greg Mankiw: Harvard University (For those who love your Macro-Econ Policy books in ECON304) "Questions About Fiscal Policy"
Articles pertaining to the same issues and others will eventually be published in our magazine later this year (authors to be announced). Even though some presentations were strictly objective, some were very subjective, especially towards some key political figures (coughGreenspancough). Pictures will be posted later on the events tab, and materials such as Bios, PWPs. and essays from this event can be obtained by simply contacting me via samir@psuea.org
Note: These materials are not of our own intellectual property, but of the vast amounts of research and efforts of others. They may only be used when reading for pleasure/knowledge.
