It led to the bankrupting of businesses, caused credit markets to dry up, imploded the housing market, and led to a near collapse of global trade. The plunge in trade that occurred between the second quarter of 2008 and the third quarter of 2009 was the steepest fall of world trade in recorded history. By rejecting protectionism, and by embracing the global economy through initiatives like NAFTA and the TPP, the U.S. can foster increased job growth and economic prosperity for its own citizens, and for individuals around the globe.Item Beyond the Battle for Supremacy: Reshaping the Global Semiconductor Supply Chain(Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics & Public Policy, 2023-05) Jeong, Hyung-gon; Robertson, RaymondItem Broken Link: Egypt’s Trade Policy and Local Labor Market Outcomes(Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics & Public Policy, 2021-11) Robertson, Raymond; Bush School of Government and Public ServiceItem Bumpy Road Ahead: Bracing for Insolvency in the Highway Trust Fund(Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics & Public Policy, 2015-03) Dar, Jawad; Taylor, Lori L.; Bush School of Government and Public ServiceFunding for the federal Highway Trust Fund (HTF) is not keeping up with the deteriorating condition of America’s roads and bridges. HTF outlays have exceeded revenues in almost every year since 2001, and the fund faces an estimated shortfall of $167 billion over the next ten years. In this article the authors argue that instead of a series of one-time fixes, a more permanent solution is needed to provide the Highway Trust Fund (HTF) with sufficient revenues to keep up with increasing needs. They recommend a congestion-adjusted vehicle mileage tax (VMT) as an economically efficient means of tackling infrastructure funding issues in a way that reflects the costs of road use. However, given the serious privacy issues associated with tracking road use, they propose it may be more politically viable to target only commercial vehicles who have lesser expectations for privacy and a higher impact on road wear with a VMT, while private vehicles pay only a higher gas tax. The authors acknowledge that no one likes higher taxes, but if road repairs are worth having, they are worth paying for.Item CAI Effectiveness and Advancing Technologies: An Update(The International Communications Industries Association (ICIA), 1987) Hynson, Kay (editor); Blaschke, Charles L.

This may change the type of households that apply for, successfully utilize, and ultimately remain in the voucher program. The demographics of households in public housing operated within the same local public housing authority are likely affected by such change. This study finds that anti-discrimination laws targeted at low-income renters in the private market have spillover effects on public housing by diverting its poorest households to private rental units, alleviating concentrations of poverty in public housing.Item Case Study of the Implementation of P.L. 94-142(1980-04-08) Blaschke, Charles L.Item Close Knit: Migration and Apparel Production in Central America(Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics & Public Policy, 2021-11) Robertson, RaymondItem Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI): The Bottom Line(The International Communications Industries Association (ICIA), 1985) Eisenrauch, Kathy (editor); Education Turnkey Systems, Inc.
