- Essay - Why Recent Economies in the USA Rose and Fell (TheAtlantic.com - Stiglitz)
"The executives were being rewarded not on the basis of their companies' performance but on the basis of stock prices."
"The examples of Enron and Global Crossing prove that incentives matter, and that markets do not always provide the right incentives. That is why government has an important role. Every game has to have rules, and government sets the rules of the economic game. If the rules promote special interests, or the interests of corporate executives, then the outcomes are not likely to promote general interests, or the interests of small shareholders." 12-02
- Financial Mathematics (Wikipedia.org)
Provides a directory of financial math subjects. "Financial mathematics is the branch of applied mathematics concerned with the financial markets. The subject naturally has a close relationship with the discipline of financial economics, however the subject is narrower in scope and more abstract. A central difference is that whilst a financial economist might study the structural reasons why a company may have a certain share price, a mathematician may take the share price as a given, and attempt to use stochastic calculus to obtain the fair value of derivatives of the stock."
Includes the topics of Arbitrage pricing theory, Beta coefficient, Black-Scholes, Bond duration, Bond valuation, Capital asset pricing model, Financial mathematics, Historical volatility, Implied volatility, Malliavin calculus, Modern portfolio theory, Moving average (finance), Put-call parity, Quantitative analyst, Rational pricing, Return (finance), Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, Stochastic calculus, The Greeks, Tobin's-q, Value at risk, and Volatility. 10-04

"Apparently, Vice President Dick Cheney quietly led a search team that came up with Snow. In contrast, the White House loudly leaked the name of investment banker Stephen Friedman to replace Larry Lindsey as head of the National Economic Council. Neither the stock market nor the rest of the world (nor me) knows much about these men." 12-02
- Keynes, John (Economics New School)
Provides a biography of the economist. "John Maynard Keynes is doubtlessly one the most important figures in the entire history of economics. He revolutionized economics with his classic book, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936). This is generally regarded as probably the most influential social science treatise of the 20th Century, in that it quickly and permanently changed the way the world looked at the economy and the role of government in society. No other single book, before or since, has had quite such an impact." 4-02
