This paper discusses how there has always been a direct link between education and income. This link entails the phenomenon of how individuals with education almost always have better employment possibilities and better income. Educational opportunity, unfortunately, may help those who have it, but it does not nurture social equality. Educated individuals will certainly attain higher incomes. But this only means that society becomes economically polarized. Indeed, those individuals that attain better incomes are usually taking jobs away from people who do not have the luxury of an education. The society, therefore, becomes increasingly divided because of this process. The poor and the rich increase in number, and the middle class increasingly disappears. Moreover, the link between income and education also includes a significant bias against the female gender. 8 pgs. 13 f/c. 8b.

2.1673 Rent Control.
This brief study will examine some of the arguments for and against rent controls. In the final analysis it is clear that the impetus behind rent control is surely benevolent; but it is nevertheless misguided. Rent controls are more damaging than often believed and there is little that government policy can do to ameliorate the situation. Price floors are economically unsound policy platforms, and it is more likely that rents would better be determined and controlled by the free use of market forces. 4 pgs. 9 f/c. 5b.

3.1753 The Objective of Central Banks: Inflation Control.
This paper looks at the issue of inflation control as an objective of central banks. Viewing the British Commonwealth and Continental European models of 'zero inflation' in contrast with the moderate inflation policy of the US provides a case against zero inflation as a policy objective. A variety of issues that surround inflation; e.g., the inflation/unemployment relationship, etc, will be brought to the fore. In the final analysis, it is clear that efforts to eradicate inflation are misguided and more moderate inflation is preferable in an era where steady economic growth is desirable. 13 pgs. 22 f/c. 8b.

What are the elements of risk in hedging strategies? To what extent and how would an investor reduce the risks involved in hedging?This paper will explain the role of futures contracts in hedging strategies, and look at the elements of risk in hedging strategies. After establishing this base, it will explore the extent to which risk can be controlled, and at some strategies investors have used to minimize their risk exposure. In the final analysis it will be shown that there is no foolproof strategy for minimizing risk: what works in some cases simply does not in others. 11 pgs. 14 f/c. 15b.

5.1786 Evaluate the extent of progress in economic transition in Russia.
This paper will probe deeper into the transition from socialism to capitalism, paying particular attention to the situation in Russia.

6.1820 Human Capital vs. Physical Capital: Which is More Important For Economic Growth.
It is the objective of this paper to highlight the exigency of the ionisation between human capital and endogenous economic growth. A brief digest of the evolution of modern growth theory will be provided, with particular attention being paid to growth models that account for the importance of human capital in the contemporary economic environment. The analysis of this paper will remain limited to the importance of human, and to a lesser degree, physical capital, in economic development. 13 pgs. 33 f/c. 6b.

7.1825 Should the Federal Reserve Lower Interest Rates?
This paper will probe into the issues that surround further interest rate cuts and offer a reasoned opinion on the dynamics and wisdom of such a move. In the final analysis it seems that no further rate cuts are necessary at this point. However, it must be noted that this is an ephemeral observation, for, in the coming months further cuts or increases may well be appropriate. So unpredictable is the contemporary state of the global economy. In support of this position, contrasts between maintaining interest rates, vs. increasing or further decreasing them, will be provided. 8 pgs. 13 f/c. 8b.
