    The Rising Thunder El Nino and Stock Markets

    THE RISING THUNDER EL NINO AND STOCK MARKETS: By Tristan Caswell A Project Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Business Administration Committee Membership Dr. Michelle Lane, Ph.D, Committee Chair Dr. Carol Telesky, Ph.D Committee Member Dr. David Sleeth-Kepler, Ph.D Graduate Coordinator July 2015 Abstract THE RISING THUNDER EL NINO AND STOCK MARKETS: Tristan Caswell Every year, new theories are generated that seek to describe changes in the pricing of equities on the stock market and changes in economic conditions worldwide. There are currently theories that address the market value of stocks in relation to the underlying performance of their financial assets, known as bottom up investing, or value investing. There are also theories that intend to link the performance of stocks to economic factors such as changes in Gross Domestic Product, changes in imports and exports, and changes in Consumer price index as well as other factors, known as top down investing. Much of the current thinking explains much of the current movements in financial markets and economies worldwide but no theory exists that explains all of the movements in financial markets. This paper intends to propose the postulation that some of the unexplained movements in financial markets may be perpetuated by a consistently occurring weather phenomenon, known as El Nino. This paper intends to provide a literature review, documenting currently known trends of the occurrence of El Nino coinciding with the occurrence of a disturbance in the worldwide financial markets and economies, as well as to conduct a statistical analysis to explore whether there are any statistical relationships between the occurrence of El Nino and the occurrence of a disturbance in the worldwide financial markets and economies.

    History of Financial Turbulence and Crises Prof

    History of Financial Turbulence and Crises Prof. Michalis M. Psalidopoulos Spring term 2011 Course description: The outbreak of the 2008 financial crisis has rekindled academic interest in the history of fi‐ nancial turbulence and crises – their causes and consequences, their interpretations by eco‐ nomic actors and theorists, and the policy responses they stimulated. In this course, we use the analytical tools of economic history, the history of economic policy‐ making and the history of economic thought, to study episodes of financial turbulence and crisis spanning the last three centuries. This broad historical canvas offers such diverse his‐ torical examples as the Dutch tulip mania of the late 17th century, the German hyperinflation of 1923, the Great Crash of 1929, the Mexican Peso crisis of 1994/5 and the most recent sub‐ prime mortgage crisis in the US. The purpose of this historical journey is twofold: On the one hand, we will explore the prin‐ cipal causes of a variety of different manias, panics and crises, as well as their consequences – both national and international. On the other hand, we shall focus on the way economic ac‐ tors, economic theorists and policy‐makers responded to these phenomena. Thus, we will also discuss bailouts, sovereign debt crises and bankruptcies, hyperinflations and global re‐ cessions, including the most recent financial crisis of 2008 and the policy measures used to address it. What is more, emphasis shall be placed on the theoretical framework with which contemporary economists sought to conceptualize each crisis, its interplay with policy‐ making, as well as the possible changes in theoretical perspective that may have been precipi‐ tated by the experience of the crises themselves.
  • A Study of Faulkner's Religious Critical Thought Based on the Image of Black Women

    A Study of Faulkner's Religious Critical Thought Based on the Image of Black Women

    2019 5th International Conference on Economics, Management and Humanities Science (ECOMHS 2019) A Study of Faulkner's Religious Critical Thought Based on the Image of Black Women Shi Qin Shanghai Open University Chongming Branch, Shanghai, China Keywords: Faulkner; religion outlook; black female; image-building; Southern Renaissance Abstract: In the 20th century, the famous American writer William Faulkner grew up in the "Bible Belt" of the southern United States. Due to the influence of religious and cultural environment, Faulkner infiltrated a strong religious color into his works, reflecting his complex diversity of religious thoughts. As a representative of the southern Renaissance, Faulkner created numerous black female images in different periods. Through attention and characterization of the black women at the bottom of the southern society under the white rule, he reveals the fact that the southern religion and the decayed and evil old southern cultural tradition are mutually integrated and accelerate the collapse of the old south. This paper studies and interprets the artistic depiction of the special group of black women, which is the artistic expression of Faulkner's critical thoughts of southern religion and his humanitarian spirit in the southern Renaissance. 1. Introduction William Faulkner was a famous American writer in the 20th century and an outstanding representative of southern literature. In 1950, he won the Nobel Prize for literature for his "powerful and unique artistic contribution to the American novel". Faulkner, who grew up in the southern United States with a strong religious culture, integrated the ubiquitous religious elements in his series of novels of Yoknapatawpha, the representative of his highest artistic achievement.

INTRODUCTION “Wall Street Topsy-Turvy, The Famous ‘Street’ Passes Another Eventful Black Friday. It is said at the Treasury that the time has passed when the Government can aid Wall Street.” —Arkansas Gazette, May 5, 1893 (McMillan, 2010) In August 1893, President Grover Cleveland called a special session of Congress to deal with the financial panic that had hit the United States. Although historians have since taken a more complex view of the causes of the panic, in his message to the special session, Cleveland looked back 3 years to the previous administration, and named the Sherman Silver Purchase Act as the cause of the panic: Our unfortunate plight is . principally chargeable to Congressional legislation touching the purchase and coinage of silver by the General Government. This legislation is embodied in a statute passed on the 14th day of July, 1890, which was the culmination of much agitation on the subject involved, and which may be considered a truce, after a long struggle, between the advocates of free silver coinage and those intending to be more conservative. (Cleveland, 1893) President Cleveland oversaw the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act before the year’s end and, perhaps by coincidence, the panic only intensified.

Beginning in 2010, there was an overwhelming consensus in the American and British media— including the elite business press—that the euro currency zone’s breakup was both inevitable and imminent. Illustrious commentators competed for the most lurid scenarios of Eurogeddon. But guess what? Shortly after Harvard historian Niall Ferguson published a Newsweek cover story boldly titled “The End of the Euro” in May 20101, the currency began an 11-month, 24-percent rally.
