Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker. He has been reporting on economic crises since the 1980's when he was with ABC News. His film In Debt We Trust warned of the economic meltdown in 2006.

Download or read book Partisanship and Economic Policies of Developing Countries in Dismal Times written by Julia Hyeyong Kim and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facing unsustainable economies, why are some regimes successful in recovering by instituting drastic reform of the economic system, while others fail? If a country's leaders implement some reforms, why do they later reverse them? Why do some governments that come to power on mandates to reverse reform not fulfill their promises? Some scholars argue that government leaders' ideologies strongly influence their economic policy decisions. Others argue that ideology does not matter in developing countries because ideologically defined parties do not follow their ideologically framed preference after they come to power. For example, the first group of scholars would consider President Menem's drastic economic reform a major deviation from his party but identify as an outlier. On the contrary, the latter group would identify the occasion as an example of how ideology does not matter in developing democracies. This dissertation asks an empirical question: does ideology really influence economic policies in developing countries? My view is that during economic crisis, partisanship does not impact governments' efforts to correct the failing economic situations. This in turn leads to another empirical question: what systematic factors make ideology irrelevant in economically dismal times? When testing the impact of partisanship on economic policy, the literature usually treats government as one entity and scholars use the percentage of left or right in legislature as a proxy for ideological orientation of government. However, I suggest disaggregating government into at least two entities: executive and legislative and looking at agenda setting executives' and government parties' ideologies separately. History has shown that in some presidential systems executives often times deviate from their own party agenda. I argue that it is not because ideology does not matter in developing democracies that governments tighten their budget and adopt structural adjustments, but rather it is because the calculation of costs and benefits change due to external pressure and failing economy. Economic crisis renders the status quo unsustainable and beneficial to nobody so that coalitions of interests and veto players, which blocked or wished for reversal, will no longer exert their oppositions, and we see less of ideological influence on economic policies. To test the validity of my arguments, I conduct statistical analyses on the panel data of developing countries. I use several measures of ideology: executive party's ideology regarding economic policy, the usual percentage of left in legislature, the existence of left-wing veto player in legislature, and the categorized percentage of left in legislature. I use the measures of inflation, external debt as % GDP, and official development aid as % GDP to define economic unsustainability. I test how ideology and economic unsustainability affect the executives' efforts to reform, which I indexed by investigating the executives' proposals and statements and Economist Intelligence Unit's reports. Then, I test how ideology, economic unsustainability, and the executives' reform efforts affect the level of budget balance. Lastly, I disaggregate budgets to study whether partisanship affects social spending as government's way to compensate the group that lose most from reform. I find that at the end, both left-wing and right-wing increase social security and welfare spending when government initiate reform during economically difficult times.

Download or read book Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.

Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
Download or read book The Proposal Economy written by Pamela Stern and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001 the northern Ontario town of Cobalt won a competition to be named the province’s “Most Historic Town.” This honour, though purely symbolic, came as Cobalters were also applying for and winning federal and provincial development grants to remake this once important silver mining centre as a destination for mining heritage tourism. This book, based on extended ethnographic and multi-method research in Cobalt, examines the multiple ways that development proposal writing is intertwined with neoliberal citizenship. Under current forms of neoliberal governance, proposal making and applying for grants have become normalized activities for individuals, non-profit organizations, schools, and municipalities. The authors argue that the residents of Cobalt have become entrenched in a “proposal economy,” a system that empowers them to imagine, engage, and propose but not to count on the state to provide certain services. The Proposal Economy makes an empirical and theoretical contribution to the literature on citizenship and neoliberal governance. In addition to the detailed and nuanced ethnography, it provides new perspectives on the ways that citizenship is produced and reproduced under conditions of neoliberalism.
