2008 Financial Crisis

Suleiman Dula, Liam Cunningham, Kelechi Okoye-Ahaneku, Randy Smith Chin, Pushpender Singh


Our group agreed to do background research into the crisis before our meeting on Tuesday. We met in the library to discuss the topic and divide it into subsections. We agreed to focus generally on the origins of the crisis in the United States and the responses of the government there, while also looking at the global consequences. We set up a Facebook chat group and a shared Google doc where we can arrange meetings, and share research and ideas. 

Plan
1. Smith: Introduction and background, deregulation of financial institutions, subprime lending, housing bubble.
2. Kelechi: Trigger of the crisis. 
3. Suleiman: Spread of the crisis beyond the USA, collapse of Icelandic banks, Eurozone crisis. 
4. Pushpender: Responses by the US government to contain the fallout - bailout of the banks, new legislation under the Obama administration to tackle deregulation. 
5. Liam: Long-term effects on the financial industry, further responses by the government, effects on the global economy, on politics. Conclusion.

  1. Good start but this is way too wide ranging. The hint is in the name 'brief' it is not a book about all the facets of crisis but a short research brief on a central element of the crisis. For example, just focus on residential mortgages, or the capitalization of banks, or the problem of credit scoring/insurance underwritting of financial products. Any *one* of these will give you plenty of research to work with for the 'brief'. Also, I suggest starting with the key recommendation and work backward - for example, BASEL III or mortgage underwriting, or Dodd-Frank in the US/ Vickers Report in the UK (here pick one strand of recommendation and link back to key element of crisis). This tends to be the case with the 2008 crisis, students get bogged down learning about the 'whole' crisis and forget to focus on one aspect for the policy brief.

  2. Hi Johnna, so you are saying we should just focus on one aspect of the financial crisis? So for e.g. all the members in the group work on only CDO's,CDS's,MBS's? Or does each of us have one specific aspect that we hone in on but not make it too far-reaching? Thanks for your constructive advice

  3. Also Suleimen is not part of the group anymore, so I don't think we will delve into the Eurozone crisis

  8. Although my area of expertise is in the Internet Marketing niche, as I was writing this article, I noticed the information would also work for traditional start up businesses as well. You will notice there are no references to Internet Marketing, etc. This is because I also wanted to share this information with anyone who is planning on starting a "traditional, brick and mortar" business. But the information contained here also applies to my friends who opt to go with the trend of online marketing as well. In this article, we focus on the initial planning steps of getting your business up and ready to open. buy lumion 3d

  12. Most watchers keeping track of the ICO phenomenon universally agree that the trend in the last few months has been for ICOs to lose value post-crowdsale, with many buyers waiting in vain for the 'moon' they were promised, once the cryptocurrency hits an exchange portal. What is however not being discussed is the principal reason why we are witnessing this phenomenon, and what participants in a crowdsale, including the rating companies most of us rely on to make a choice, must be doing wrong in picking which ICO have most value, or has the best probability of rising in value once the crowdsale is over. bitcoin trading

  20. Crypto-criminology refers to the dark, devious and dangerous side of human nature. That strain of humanistic proclivity that crosses the boundaries of civility into brutality. This is a realm of "practical criminology", applicability to the real world, where human behavior defies profiling, prediction and precise definition. Such an investigation descends to the depths of human depravity, to damp gloomy dungeons of mental mayhem. euro pegged stablecoin

Unfortunately, as the gaming graphics and technology improved, the realism grew right along with it. As a result, parents need to be on their toes when selecting age appropriate video games for their children. Android games
