Transitional losses: criteria for compensation

Article Abstract:

Compensations are expected from the government once the public face wealth loss, but the process has to be governed by some criteria to safeguard equity and balance in delivering service. The decision to compensate, however, has its own repercussion since a failure to compensate would translate to increased risk on the part of the labor, land, capital which may lead low employment and investment. Furthermore, compensations must not be viewed as something that will drive up productivity and efficiency, rather they must be viewed in the context of policy changes.

Banks, insurance companies, and mergers

Article Abstract:

Merger issues concerning some of the country's noted banks and insurance companies do not only reflect potential market competition problems but are also symbolic of the enormous financial risks presented to consumers, investors and private companies. Banks may be considered one of the institutions most vulnerable to market risks, considering the volatility of markets, upsurge of band loans and liquidity problems. Insurance companies are likewise prone to such hazards due to the risks inherent to insurance value and credit-worthiness of clients.

Trends in youth smoking: is there really a crisis?

Article Abstract:

The arguments of agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate the manufacture, advertising, and distribution of tobacco products are based on data which show an increase in the number of youth smokers. FDA data show that the number of eight and tenth grade smokers had increased by some 34% during the period of 1991 to 1995. However, long term data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which covers the period from 1971 to 1993, show a contrary trend.
