"Brief Analysis of Money & Capital Markets in the United States For The Five-Years Period 1995-1999 Inclusive
This research examines the money and capital markets in the United States for the five-year period 1995-1999 inclusive. As a part of this examination underlying reasons for shifts in interest rates and interest rate differentials are sought.
Several factors, including global market forces, the current and expected rates of inflation, and Federal Reserve implemented monetary policy, affect the demand for and supply of money in the economy. The demand for and the supply of money, in turn, affects interest rates and interest rate differentials, and, in turn, the demand for and the supply of money are affected by interest rates and interest rate differentials. Thus, the relationships between interest rates..."

Abstract
This paper explains an organized and well-planned capital market guarantees that investments are safe and with limited risks; however, the presence of the money market, the market from which banks borrow or lend finances to each other, cannot be ignored. The author points out that securitization and credit derivatives have resulted in the ability to spread credit risks across different sectors of the financial system. The paper relates that the health of the global financial system is an issue of major concern to the U.S.A. and to the entire world; therefore, several multinational organizations, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), assist countries that are faced with financial problems and developmental requirements.
From the Paper
"Robust capitalization and strong earnings is a must for any country if there were to be a line of defense against losses; when the capital of a country is strong, then these losses can be countered with ease. If there were indeed loss of any kind, or a negative incident of some sort, then capitalization would help restore the loss of confidence in the customers and the counter parties who would at first attempt to pull out of the institution. Therefore, it is evident that capital is capable of insuring the financial institutions against the system of ?runs?, both traditional and on franchise value. The traditional run is one in which the issues at stake are those of short term funding, and short term liquidity, whereas for the franchise run the issues that are brought into play are those of the gradual withdrawal of customers from the financial institution on account of the loss of confidence suffered as a result of the losses that the institution has been through."

Abstract
This paper examines how one of the most exciting stories recently in capital markets has been the sharp appreciation in the Australian dollar from historic lows in April 2001 to 7 year highs at the start of 2004. It looks at how this has had implications for financial instruments and markets both in Australia and abroad.
From the Paper
"While the US dollar's long slump against major currencies has largely driven the ascent of the Australian dollar, the gains also result from Australia's strong economy, relatively high interest rates compared to other developed countrie and strong commodity prices. Part of the reason for the phenomenal swing from a record low of US47.75c on 3/4/2001 to US80.07c on 18/2/2004 is that in April 2001, investors were still pouring money into the US tech equities - however this began to change with the so called "tech wreck" which sent US markets into a decline and introduced a recession in the United States. The Australian dollar continues to thrive because investors are borrowing in places like Japan and Switzerland where interest rates are almost zero and are depositing in Australia and earning 5.25%.

"In addition to the other working capital issues identified, Lawrence Sports also is experiencing issues with its cash conversion cycle. Currently, Lawrence is using short-term financing in the form of cash from operations and a bank line of credit to not only finance short term assets such as inventory but also ongoing operations. Doing so places a significant pressure on the company to convert cash quickly. Benchmarking two other companies who have successfully controlled their cash conversion cycle could lend insights to Lawrence on how its CCC may be improved.
"Graham Manufacturing had a CCC of 134 days in 2004. By reducing the amount of time to collect 42% in 2007 and 37% in 2006 as well as increasing the amount of customer deposits prior to delivery of product Graham reduced its CCC down to 46 days by Q1 FY08. Following Graham's example Lawrence Sports could reduce its CCC by requiring Mayo, its largest customer, to pay more than 20% at the time of order. Additionally, Lawrence should focus on faster collections just as Graham did successfully. Such a plan could take the form of discounts for prompt payment or negotiate an interest charge for delayed payment."

Abstract
This paper discusses and defines several types of human capital and social capital and describes the differences between both kinds of capital. The author discusses the theoretical aspects of social capital, as expounded by modern economists, and shows several examples of social capital at work, in the education system and in the work environment. The paper demonstrates the positive connection between social networks and economic development and the need for both human and social capital in increasing a nation's prosperity.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The research indicates that social capital involves the relationships that are developed in society. The developing and sustaining of such relationships or networks appears to play an integral role in allowing people to work together to achieve common goals. In addition to human capital which is associated with the development of knowledge and skills, social capital is focused more on the development of relationships that ultimately result in individuals and groups working side by side who would not ordinarily cross paths."

Capital Punishment, 2005.
This paper discusses the problems of juveniles who commit capital crime, and the use of capital punishment for this age group.

Abstract
This paper explains that the recent Supreme Court opinion for Roper vs. Simon mandated that juveniles who were sixteen and seventeen at the time of their crimes could no longer be legally sentenced to be executed. The author points out that the issue of immature brain of even older teens does bring enough of a question into a minor's ability to make rational decisions. The paper stresses that juveniles should never be executed and the efforts to attempt to rehabilitate should always be applied.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Criminal history plays a strong influence on the sentencing guidelines based on the fact that repeat offenders are often considered to be more dangerous to society. But, however real or unrealistic it is, the overall objective of sentencing is to always rehabilitate the perpetrator - even life sentences. Life imprisonment does have a light at the end of a tunnel in many cases and has statistically been considered to be a sentence of approximately twenty years behind bars. The exception to rehabilitation is of course the capital offense that requires execution."

Working Capital Management in Healthcare, 2005.
Examines the importance of having working capital management in the healthcare industry.

Abstract
To maintain a strong financial position the company's capital structure must be well organized to reduce the overall cost of capital. It is essential that proper management of the cash flow and investments are scrutinized on a constant basis. This paper shows that without a firm hand on the money going out and the money coming in, a company could find themselves without working capital, bad dept and an excess inventory. Everything that affects working capital, such as payables, receivables, equity, loans, inventory and investments must be controlled constantly. This paper examines how capital management in healthcare requires regular maintenance to be successful.

"Ratios are important to a company and must be analyzed frequently. Comparing the ratios to that of other similar companies will reveal just where the organization stands in the business. There are two basic financial decisions a company must make before starting. While looking at the assets of an organization, the company will naturally lean towards investing in the positive net present value (NPV) projects. Once this is determined then a capital structure is created to fund the project."

From the Paper
"It is estimated that 80% of all global organizations have some form of 'Knowledge and intellectual capital management' models implemented in their operations; 96% predict that they will do so in the next five years. (Kulik, 2000) In addition, 25% of organizations had a chief knowledge (management) officer. Approximately, 53% had knowledge and intellectual capital management staff and a dedicated knowledge and intellectual capital management budget. It has been observed that variables such as personal cognitive styles and local customs and beliefs may affect the models and implementations of any intellectual capital and knowledge management program. It is critical therefore, to understand the local culture and beliefs and their influence on how the local society places emphasis on knowledge and the application of this knowledge to the industry."

Social Capital, 2003.
An analysis of social capital as the currency of civil society.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how social capital is the currency of civil society by demonstrating the role of its mobilisation within social movements. It proposes that social capital is the currency of civil society in much the same way that financial capital is a component of the market sector. The first section briefly outlines three integral elements of social capital, networks, norms and social trust. It is followed by a discussion of the mobilisation of social capital as it pertains to social movements and promotes civic engagement. The conclusion reflects that the social capital/civil society and the financial capital/market sector analogy is justified, as social capital acts as civil society's bargaining tool.
From the Paper
"The final continuous element of social capital is social trust. As an attribute of social capital trust encourages society to overcome quiescence and to take part in political activism by instilling confidence. Underpinning this confidence is a sense of mutual supportiveness of each other and for the cause, that has united them. Interwoven with social trust is the notion of reciprocity, or the implicit assumption that those participating will get something in return for supporting any form of civil action (Onyx, 2000:60-1). This assumption also motivates social movements, the link between social capital, civil society and bargaining becomes apparent. Davis argues that the public has a distinct lack of trust in government and its processes, he goes on to say that those possessing social capital are better equipped to initiate civic engagement (2001:2-4). Which brings us to one of the most common mechanisms for collective action, that of social movements."

Venture Capital (VC), 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses that professional venture capital firms are closely held corporations or private partnerships funded by public and private pension funds, endowment funds, corporations, wealthy individuals and foreign investors; they invest venture capital in both start-ups and established companies, thereby, leveling out their risks and ensuring a net positive return. The author points out an attractive feature of VC is that it provides the opportunity for investors to aim for very high returns, which no other financial instrument can provide. The paper relates that, while the debate continues as to whether VC really is the driver for industrial development, it is widely accepted that VC is a key tool in furthering three major economic objectives, namely, transfer, widen industrial base, and assistance in setting up of new businesses.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"As the firm expands, it may need more capital, which is provided by second round finance. When the firm reaches breakeven point or has already started making small profits, it will need funding for expansion of the business. This critical requirement in met by expansion capital, which drives the firm to maximize profits. Management buy out is the finance granted to the firm?s management and investors to acquire an existing product line or business. As opposed to this is the Management buy-ins where funds are provided to managers outside the firm to buy into the firm with the support of venture capital investors. Finally, mezzanine financing is supplied to the firm to enable it to complete a trade sale or go in for public floatation of the firm?s shares."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Social capital is a measure of involvement in charitable and civic organizations, political involvement and racial and social trust in a community. Common forms of social capital include volunteering for political service work such as political campaigns or school board functions. Other forms of social capital include volunteering time to work with children or elderly individuals, and donating time to support causes to advance or support ones community. Social and racial trust is classified as a component of social capital as well. A community where individuals are accepting of cultural diversity and feel secure in their community is considered to have a strong level of social trust. Brooks's research sought to determine the correlation between social capital and generosity of Americans by asking, "Do all social capital types have a uniform impact on charitable behavior?" (Brooks, 2005 p.4)."
