The worst thing you can do is nothing." — Teddy Roosevelt    Center for Business Policy and Economic Issues (CBE) > Roosevelt Home > Rutgers > Business Policy and Economic Issues Your name: Your email: Recipient's name: Recipient's email: Message: To prevent spam, please enter the first letter of the recipient's email and the first letter of the recipient's name in the box below (for example, if the name is "John Doe" and the email is "bigjohn@johndoe.com", you would enter "jb"): Business Policy and Economic Issues: Definition: This area of study focuses on the world economy, and the interaction between countries, regulatory systems and business firms. Special consideration is attributed on: micro/macro interaction, commerce architecture and international players: states, IO’s (World Bank, IMF) and NGO’s. Guidelines: Topics should not gravitate around oversaturated socio-economic statistics but rather pinpoint how various elements such as the: standard of living, investment or technologies embed into a contemporary economy. Indeed, the proposed area of study is design as a critical thinking study and not as a measure on acclaiming fictive or outdated programs. For example, discussions around the effects of monetary/fiscal policies enacted by central banks/governments should not be stereotyped to an in-vitro, cause-effect recipe but investigated according to the peculiar workings of national economies: infrastructure, bureaucracy, corruption, and business culture. Areas of interest: - International Trade - International Finance - Global Political Economy - Theories of International Business - Econometrics & Economic Models Agenda: Besides scheduled meetings offered by the Roosevelt Institute interested students should consider several events pertaining to International Business and Economics: • Selected Colloquiums • In-class presentations • Economics and Finance Society • Economics National Honor Society Subgroup on International Development: http://rutgers.rooseveltinstitution.org/economy/intdev Links: http://cgcg.rutgers.edu/cgcg/ http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~econnwk/ http://business.rutgers.edu/ http://www.uni-kassel.de/fb5/globalisation/ma_gpe/index.html  CBE Papers:  Articles: Group members: George M Karaminas Sinan Aladdin Nathan E Betancourt Chandu Damavarapu Anthony J Giacobbe Jonas Haertle Ralph Humphrey Noel P Johnston James D Lamond Octavian Rotaru   The Roosevelt Institution is a nonpartisan, nonprofit national think tank devoted to bringing students' policy ideas to the policy process.
