I have gone through the questions submitted for potential inclusion on the final exam. Here are the questions I will choose from (there will be at least one and possibly two selected).
1. Outline the impact of tougher financial regulation on the stock market.
2. Last year, the Fed decided not to pursue inflation as its primary target. Outline the actions the Fed would have taken had its target been inflation and the consequences of those actions at the present time.
3. How will the stock and bond markets react to the debt crisis in Europe, specifically in Greece?
4. Discuss the effect of bond prices on interest rates based on Yield to Maturity. In doing so, indicate in detail other factors that determine how bond prices or the bond market would react if one of these factors were to suddenly change.
5. Using the material from this course, outline why the US will have a slow and long recovery from the financial crisis of 2007, focusing on businesses and consumers.
6. What are some of the risks of unregulated derivative trading by investment banks? Be sure to explain what a derivative is and teh specific dangers they pose to the economy if unregulated.
7. Explain how the federal funds rate is an important indicator for the stock market.
When you take the final exam on Friday, MAKE SURE THAT EACH OF YOUR RESPONSES ANSWERS THE SPECIFIC QUESTION IT IS ADDRESSED TO. I strongly suggest that before you hand in your exam, read each question again then make sure that your response is to the specific question posed and not just a series of statements that might be correct overall but that don't really answer the question.
