Introduction

Interest rate, especially the repo and reverse repo rate set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have a profound effect on the value of real estate like any other investment vehicle. Because of great influence of the interest rate on an individual’s ability to purchase houses by increasing or decreasing the cost of the total mortgage amount, many people assume that interest is the only factor in real estate valuation. However, this assumption is not true. Interest rate definitely plays a big role in determining the housing prices, but it is not the only factor influencing the price of a ...

Introduction

The government of the United States of America spends approximately $100 billion per year to subsidize American homeowners. Renters often don’t get breaks, but homeowners get them. The mortgage rates of homeowners are subsidized through the use of government-sponsored enterprises such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. This is realized through giving them a tax deduction on federal, local and state income taxes for mortgage interest rates payments. Homeowners are also given favored treatment on their capital gains from the sale of a primary residence. Americans are fond of the idea of houses and white picket fence. The government, therefore, ...

I live in Richmond, BC, Canada, where the housing market over the last 10 years has gone from $300,000 to $1.2 million per house. The problem with that is that wages have not increased over that time to accommodate increased living expenses to deal with this issue. As a result, we end up spending more and more in order to maintain the same quality of life that we had before. This phenomenon has spread throughout Canada, as more and more individuals are sinking into deep debt, with little to no way out. I choose to dispute the warning labels ...

Introduction

The global financial crisis of 2007-2008 changed business and political outcomes in the United States. The desire by the United States government to ensure that its citizens get affordable housing led to a concerted government and business effort that led to the housing bubble and then bust. The new housing policy had its basis in the idea of American exceptionalism. The term "American Exceptionalism," coined by Alexis de Tocqueville in 1831, has historically referred to the perception that the United States differs qualitatively from other developed nations, because of its unique origins, national creed, political philosophy, and religious institutions. ...

Considering the fact that people in the United States voted for an African American to become president, indicates that the American society has come from far in relation to racial discrimination. However, in many work places in the United States the attitude towards African Americans does not reflect this. Racial discrimination and harassment in factories and offices has sky rocketed, “and this is not just the use of the “N” word”. It has gotten to the level that African Americans are being threatened and intimidated using some “tools such as the hangman’s nooses and racist graffiti such as ...

In late 2007, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closed at a record low. Stock markets around the world nose-dived alongside the DJIA. Turbulence in the sub-prime segment of the US housing market, paralysis of the credit markets, excessive lay-offs in organizations, steep decline in investments etc. were all some of the indicators that the world was heading for a massive credit crunch.

Abstract

In May 2013 – like 1999 and previous disasters – many people were killed by tornadoes, apart from hundreds being injured and a lot of property being destroyed in Oklahoma. Despite being a yearly event, the government has not made any progress in the way of controlling these disasters, due to the difficulty of predicting them. From the effects of the disasters, the government has remained reactive, and this led to the conclusion that it should declare the area inhabitable. This is likely the best solution to the problem, because the death, injury and the destruction of property is massive, and the people ...

As a public figure, George W. Bush appeared as a dry, boring, well-spoken man with little personality. Most people believed that was his true appearance, but those closest to him knew that was an image that he worked hard to project as his public image, but his private image was quite different. He was president of his fraternity at Yale, and fit into the fraternity lifestyle well, including drinking and parties. Yes, the same Bush! He no longer drinks, having stopped in 1988, but he did at that time. His most common greeting to his friends is “Hey, Buddy.” Carried over ...
