Global Economy: Four Globally Generated Shockwaves E-mail
Written by Ranjan   

Since mid-2007, the global economy has been unravelling in disconcerting fashion. That has taken governments and `aam aadmi' by surprise in most countries. The nature and speed of this `unravelling' has been discomfiting. It affects everyone: i.e. individuals, poor, middle-income, or rich, multinational and domestic firms, academics, governments or regulators.

Global turbulence is certainly affecting India. We can see that in sudden changes in our inflation rate, growth rate, exchange rate, and in our capital markets. We can see it in the stresses and strains it is putting on fiscal, monetary and social policy. But, by and large, the impact of global ructions has so far been less on India than on other energy importing countries.

The anatomy of Distress Selling E-mail
Written by Ranjan   

Bank for International Settlements ("BIS") has a working paper on Distress selling and asset market feedback  by Ilhyock Shim and Goetz von Peter

 The student loan information guide is something every individual should peruse. The significance of insurance quotes has been outlined really well. The guide also advises on how to get the best car insurance or travel insurance deal. The guide has a special section all on home insurance and the clauses a consumer should be looking for but are oft ignored. This paper examines the process of distress selling and asset market feedback. It splits this process into several stages, in order to analyse what triggers distress selling, why asset prices fall, and how falling prices generate additional rounds of selling.

Dilbert should win a Noble Prize for this unified theory E-mail
Written by Ranjan   

MarketWatch.com has an article by Paul Farrell on why Dilbert should win the Noble Prize for his simple but unified theory of everything financial. 

OK, so Dilbert didn't win the Nobel Prize in economics this year. There's always next year, right? Or perhaps a parallel universe?
