"The recession has impacted almost everyone in our surrounding community, whether they were impacted directly or indirectly. It has impacted local small businesses, large industries and companies, as well as individuals and families. All people in the economy are impacted by a recession. However, from the current information that I have obtained, it looks as if the economy is on the rise and will soon be back to normal. Recession is a serious issue, but hopefully our current let down in economy has been a learning experience and next time we will be better prepared and can prevent an equal disaster."

Abstract
This paper addresses the question of whether the present recession in the U.S. will be aggravated by the Sept. 11th attacks. The paper looks at how the collapse of the "Internet Economy' in early 2001 which lead to decreased spending and consumer confidence even before 9/11, is causing the Federal Government to work double time to ensure that the US economy is spared an even greater blow than it has already experienced. The paper then examines some of the options available to the government in its efforts to best ensure a return to prosperity.
From the paper:
"One of the most obvious victims of the terror attacks has been consumer confidence ? which was already shaky in the light of the economic slowdown in the months before September ? a slowdown this week confirmed as the economy was declared in a recession back to March...
The Fed?s generally positive assessment of the U.S.?s $10-trillion economy last year has shifted, in part due to the terrorist attacks and in part due to the softening economy, which itself must be seen as in part caused by the massive Bush tax rebates that have caused the federal surplus to vanish like mist in the sunlight. Last year at most of its meetings last year it maintained the Discount Rate, this year even as the economy began to slow down, a fact that for the Fed was mitigated by its warnings about the inflationary posed by the nation's tight labor market (the jobless rate continues near its lowest level in a generation) and a sharp rise in energy prices.
The absence of such key economic indicators showing a slowed rate of growth last year prompted the Fed to maintain or raise its Discount rate, just as the presence of a number of economic indicators (such as high unemployment, falling sales of new homes or other indications of disinclination toward consumer spending and a general decline in leading economic indicators that predict how the economy will likely fare in three to six months? time) have this year prompted the Fed to lower its Discount rate. As the high-tech sector continues to disintegrate, consumer confidence continues to fall and the recession has been made official, observers now wonder exactly how low the Fed can go."

Abstract
A look at the current recession and how it could be avoided. This paper uses quotes and facts about historical U.S. recessions to discuss the current recession. It sheds light on why the U.S. headed towards the recession and describes in detail how it got into this recession and what needs to be done to get out of it.
From the Paper
"Talking about a recession on Wall Street is like telling your wife she has put on a little weight, it just shouldn?t be done. Although this holds truth, the topic has been difficult to avoid over the past six months. After nearly ten years of financial growth, many economists believe that the U.S. economy may be poised for a recession. While many want to point the finger at certain prominent citizens or political groups, a recession can?t be blamed on a single person or action. The most important question is what actions can be taken to avoid a recession. It could be difficult, but there are many different procedures that can be taken to keep our economy on the road of economic prosperity."

Abstract
The paper explains that there are serious imbalances in the world economy and this could have international effects. This paper analyzes the seriousness of this impending adverse situation especially for developing countries and discusses whether as a consequence of this, a global recession is inevitable. The writer explores global current account imbalances and evaluates different views on the causes and consequences of the imbalances. Finally, the paper discusses the various macroeconomic policies and shocks that might remedy the imbalances.

Global Re-balancing
Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"The present phase of relatively fast growth in the developing countries is driven principally by strong global demand, especially, originating mainly in the US. This is further fuelled by the Chinese economic growth. During 1980s and 1990s, most developing countries embraced the market-oriented reforms agenda with the expectation that with this approach they will be able to integrate better with the other economies of the globe. The agenda included liberalization and deregulation at the national level and opening up through competition at the global level. Different countries advanced in this direction to different extents. However, after the East Asian Crisis of late 1990s, the approach of the affected countries changed and they started accumulating foreign currency, mostly dollars as a measure of insurance against any future probable risks and looking to the rise in the oil prices in the international markets. This is also a result of currency manipulative monetary policies of some of the countries like China. Many of the countries developed current surpluses which used to be mostly in red. However, the main sources of the inflow were the increasing trade surplus and FDI."

Abstract
This research considers the impact of a future global recession on Asia, with a particular emphasis on Japan, Thailand, China and Indonesia. While specific impacts (including those on income, savings and unemployment, among others) are considered separately in the following analysis, the writer explains that these effects would occur simultaneously as various parts of the economy are affected.
From the Paper
"In the early part of the twentieth century, it was thought that individual economies were insulated from downturns in economies located elsewhere in the world. However, the Great Depression of the 1930s demonstrated that even at a time when globalization was considerably less prevalent than today, there were global ramifications to downturns in economies. Today, economies are more closely intertwined than at any time in the past, with trading blocs (such as the European Union) bringing together the economic interests of some nations. Technology has also made it possible for investors in one nation to become owners of companies located in another nation, and the import and export of goods has also increased to substantially high levels. Even currencies are more closely intertwined than at any time in history, and some countries have taken the extraordinary step of tying their currency to other more stable currencies (such as the American dollar)."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Recessions are often associated with downturns in the gross domestic product (GDP) of countries. The current recession, which affects most of the world, was sparked by events in Asia, but has since included many other nations in its effects. Despite this, the American economy continues to grow at a modest but steady rate. This research considers the effect of the recession on future unemployment in the United States by evaluating the negative and positive effects of the recession on American business.
Negative Effects of Recession on American Business
American auto manufacturers have been particularly affected by the recession; Chrysler, in particular, suffered severely as a result of the downturn in Asia. Exports to Japan (in particular) and Asia and general..."

Abstract
This paper examines the latest economic data in the United States to examine whether the current situation can be called a recession and discusses what steps should be taken to prevent a recession.
From the Paper
"As with basically every other nation in the world, the United States has had it?s share of recessions, the latest of which, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, began in March of 2001 (Irons). This came after an expansion that lasted exactly 10 years, making it the longest expansion recorded by the NBER (Hall). Many questions can be posed concerning our current recession. For example, what exactly is a recession, what are its indicators, how has this one been affected by the events of September 11, and what can boost our current economy and prevent recessions in the future?"

From the Paper
"In 1989, a large problem facing many accounting firms and coporations was the hiring of qualified graduates for entry level accounting positions. At that time, the problem was magnified because of a decrease in the number of accounting majors.. Accordingly, many firms spent a great deal of time and money recruiting what students there were by on-campus interviews and second interviews at the firm's office, as well as by inviting the prospective candidates to company functions. Many firms established recruiting departments comprised of professionally trained staff charged with the responsibility of hiring entry-level accountants. Today, however, this picture has changed, and this research will concern itself with the changes that have been bought about by the current recession, as well as with where the accounting field is headed."

Effect of Current Worldwide Recession on Future Unemployment in the United States
This research examines the effect of the current world-wide recession on the future of unemployment in the United States. A disclaimer needs to be made prior to beginning this analysis. That disclaimer is that no world-wide recession exists in the Spring of 1999. The situation that actually prevails is that many economies around the world are in recession, but many are not in recession. Further, there are areas of regional recession within the global economy (International Monetary Fund, 1999). A notable case in point is East Asia. Certainly, however, a sufficient proportion of the world?s economies are current in recession to warrant an assessment of the potential of this situation to affect future employment levels in the..."

Abstract
The paper explains how the recent appointment of John Bolton as the US ambassador to the UN by President Bush through the use of "recess appointment" powers has evoked heated debate. This paper explains the "recess appointment" powers of the President as outlined in the US Constitution, discusses Ambassador Bolton's qualifications for the position and analyzes whether the appointment was a "good" use of the recess powers. The paper concludes with a personal view that Bolton's recent recess appointment is the latest in the long series of attempts by the executive to undermine the delicate framework of checks and balances that are at the core of American democracy.

Recess Appointment
Ambassador Bolton's Qualification for the Appointment
Was Bolton's Appointment as Ambassador to the UN a "Good" Use of the Recess Power?
What Do you Think About the Recess Appointment Power?
From the Paper
"Recess appointments are authorized by Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution which states: "The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the end of their next Session." The framers had included this provision in the US Constitution since they had anticipated that vacancies of important government officers such as Ambassadors, Public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court and District Courts, could fall vacant during a recess of the Senate. As clearly stated in the law, the Senate must ratify the appointment by the end of the next session [emphasis added], or the position becomes vacant again ("What is a Recess Appointment?" 2005)."

Abstract
This paper provides an in-depth look at the Japanese economy before and after the collapse of the Tokyo stock-market which occurred at the start of the current recession. It shows how Japan was considered to be the perfect economy and idealized by the West with regard to its statistics on growth, unemployment and productivity. Causes of the collapse are analyzed. The writer presents many statistics about the current economic state and looks at the government's plans to boost the economy.
From the Paper
"The revisionists asserted that, in contrast to the open-market capitalism of the "Anglo-American" model, Japan practiced a unique form of state-directed insider capitalism. Under that model, close relationships among business executives, bankers, and government officials strongly influence economic outcomes. By strategically allocating capital through a tightly controlled banking system, they argued, Japan would drive foreign competitors out of sector after sector, leading eventually to world economic domination. (Thompson, 1997)
"Sooner or later, the United States must come to grips with the fact that Japan has become the leading industrial nation in the world. The Japanese have the longest life span. They have the highest employment, the highest literacy, and the smallest gap between rich and poor. Their manufacturing products have the highest quality."

The Current Economic Situation, 2002.

Abstract
The paper states that at the core of economics is the study of human behavior in producing, distributing and consuming material goods and services in a world of scarce resources. The author feels that the United States must face the current economic situation with an eye to the scarcity of resources it possesses and the fact that no decision occurs without a component cost. The author underscores the fact that current common economic indicators, which do not perfectly obey the textbook definition of stasis, boom or recession, only exacerbates the sense of indecision around how to manage this current situation.
From the Paper
"The United States is currently in the grips of an economic situation that defies customary, conventional suppositions of recession and boom. The stock market is on shaky ground, having weathered one of the most crushing crashes over the past two years in recent memory, as well as a constant state of economic uncertainty in its technological sector. The market swings up for several weeks then back down again. Consumer confidence is down, even though the unemployment rate is above recession levels. Retirement funds are in jeopardy, yet the economy itself does not seem to be contracting. The United States government is facing a budgetary crisis, yet it also must budget for war. It wishes to lower income taxes to stimulate the economy, yet not face an overwhelming deficit."

From the Paper
"While Japan is still very much focused on traditional culture, the country absorbed a great deal of Western technology during the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Bartleby, 2000). After losing World War II, Japan experienced an amazing recovery, which secured its status as the second most powerful economy in the world and a loyal ally of the United States. Although the emperor holds the throne as a symbol of national unity, the actual power falls to a network of powerful politicians, bureaucrats, and business executives. Japan?s economy experienced a major slowdown in the 1990s, following three decades of unprecedented growth, and currently has some serious economic challenges."

Abstract
This paper explains the remedies sometimes used by the government in order to correct extreme fluctuations in the economy. The paper also examines former U.S. President Reagan's economic policies and the damage it caused to the country. Reagan's economic policies, the paper explains, rejected long held principles founded by famed British economist John Maynard Keynes and, in so doing, caused a resurgence of monopolies, an increase in the government and national debt, and an increase in the poverty and unemployment rates.
From the Paper
"Every nation's economy goes through so-called business cycles, the extremes of which are recessions and sometimes depressions (also known as severe recessions). During these times unemployment is high and business is not operating at full capacity. In principal, the Federal Reserve's policy is to correct such cycles, by becoming counter cyclical (acting in the opposite direction of where the economy is heading). Critics who keep tabs on the Fed accuse it of not being productive because of how long it takes the Fed to act. They claim that by the time the Fed starts reducing the money supply it is already time to increase it."

From the Paper
"Unemployment and its effects on the economy and the economy and its effects on unemployment are two of the most widely discussed, and perhaps least understood, questions posed by economists and politicians today. Vast quantities of data are routinely collected and disseminated by government agencies and independent researchers, and those figures often become sources of fervent debate as to their validity, reliability, and significance.
For example, U.S. national unemployment statistics for January 1992 showed a general unemployment rate of 7.1 percent; it was almost 14 percent for blacks and nearly 20 percent for teenagers (more than 35 percent of black teenagers were unemployed).. In June 1992, as the Department of Labor announced that non-farm employment suffered a net loss of 117,000 jobs,...."
