- The Role of the Fed in today’s economy
- Foreign Exchange
- The importance of cross-border financial acquisitions
- The Euro: theory and current status
- A National Bank? The political fighting of Alexander Hamilton vs Thomas Jefferson/James Madison
- Money supply and the economy
- Commerical Bank Management and the role interest rate volatility
- Anything else that you can convince me is relevant
- As the web site was down for the past week, I will make it a flexible due date. If you submit it on the 1st (the original due date) you will get an extra 5 points on the paper. If you submit on that Friday you get three extra points. Papers will not be accepted after Monday Dec 6.
Rules and regulations
- The paper is OPTIONAL!!! You do not need to do it.
- No credit is guaranteed. If the paper is poorly done you will get a zero.
- The term paper should be between 6-10 typed (word-processed) pages. (not including the title page, bibliography and any appendices).
- The paper must be submitted by December 1, 1999.
- All sources must be shown and any key point, or statistic must be noted (foot note or in-line) within the paper. (no end notes-sorry)
- The paper should be done in 12-point font with normal margins and double spacing.
- The paper will be graded on grammar as well as content.
- It will be worth a maximum of 20 points on the test. However, to get the entire 20 points is extremely unlikely. A more realistic estimate would be for a good paper 15 points, for a good paper 10-12 points, for a so-so paper 5 points, and for a poor paper 0 points.
- I will look over a one-page proposal and make comments if you like. This proposal (optional but recommended) is due November 17th (you can submit earlier).
Sorry for so many rules, but I had a very bad experience once with
an extra credit assignment so I am playing it safe this time. :-)
