The Journal of Applied Economy: Volume 1: "Can the Simplest Solutions Eliminate the Greatest Problems?"

Contemporary markets have become disconnected from fundamental economic theory and rational economic assessment; "The Journal of Applied Economy" seeks to bridge this gap. Consultation between academics and professionals is central to profitable financial management. Thus, the field of applied economy lies at the nexus of theory and implementation, the practical and the theoretical. By understanding the philosophical foundations of markets and decision making, applied economy can inform us about the role of market structures within larger analytical frameworks. In this inaugural edition, Tarron Khemraj of New College of Florida interrogates the growth stagnation in Guyana, R. Christopher Whalen of Indiana State University gives insight into the sub-prime crisis and Colin Kirkpatrick of the University of Manchester and David Parker of Cranfield University looks into water services and WTO policy.
