What my Finance Internship Taught me about Economics
type: Article
title: What my Finance Internship Taught me about Economics
description: 1. Finance is a rich area of research…and the industry can be artificially complex Finance is not primarily concerned with the stock market, although that’s what most people immediately think of. TIAA-CREF stands for “Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America-College Retirement Equities Fund”. It’s a massive firm that began when US entrepreneur Andrew Carnegie decided to create a not-for-profit pension service for academic professors in 1918. He later created a board of governors to allow educators themselves to help run the non-profit. Even within this one single firm, I was blown away by the sheer amount of different things that existed. Products and services across this huge firm were varied and sometimes had little to do with each other. TIAA has dozens upon dozens of financial products: annuities, IRAs, HSAs, guaranteed and variable lifetime income vehicles, and more. I could scarcely wrap my head around them all…but that’s, I suspect, a natural result of how the finance industry has evolved. For example, if finance was easy to navigate, anyone would be able to plan and execute a sufficient retirement plan for themselves. Choosing the right investment vehicles or the right mix of assets would be straightforward. There are other benefits that firms like TIAA could end up serving — for instance, the ability to pool money with other investors to create larger funds — but overall, from a microeconomics perspective, the finance industry is heavily disincentivized from making finance easy to understand to laypeople. That may be partly because it would cost the finance industry, or society in general, money to broadly educate the public, and partly because some firms’ services benefit from general lack of knowledge about finance. Financial advisors are a great example of this: they’re a useful and thriving service in part because many people don’t have the knowledge (or time to acquire said knowledge) that would let them invest or pursue their financial go…
disambiguating description: Towards the end of my undergraduate degree, I had the chance to work with upper-level managers on a strategy retreat as part of a summer finance internship. The internship was at TIAA-CREF (now known as just TIAA), and the retreat intended to help the firm strategize about the direction they should take in several aspects of the company. As a Bachelor’s student specializing in consulting, it was my responsibility to help them make use of a management consulting framework and mindset while doing it. This experience was my first foray into the finance industry. As I’ve progressed in my own studies, it’s given me plenty to reflect on as I’ve encountered various economic theories of the firm. Read on for the top three things I learned about economics from my finance internship!

South Africa Appoints Economic Experts for G20 Report on Wealth Inequality

title: South Africa Appoints Economic Experts for G20 Report on Wealth Inequality
description: In a historic initiative, South Africa’s presidency of the Group of Twenty (G20) developed and developing nations has launched a comprehensive project to tackle global wealth inequality, with a report set to be presented to G20 Leaders. President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the formation of an Extraordinary Committee comprising six renowned economic experts, including Nobel Laureate Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz. The committee's formation comes amid growing concerns about the alarming increase in global wealth disparity, particularly worsened by shocks to international trade, financing, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Stiglitz pointed out that the wealthiest 1% have accrued wealth exceeding $33.9 trillion, a sum sufficient enough to eliminate global poverty 22 times over, highlighting the urgent need for actionable solutions. During the announcement, Ramaphosa emphasized the detrimental impacts of extreme inequality, which undermines social cohesion and economic progress. He noted that the current trajectory of wealth accumulation by a small elite poses systemic risks to the global economic and social order. The panel, which includes economists from Brazil, Uganda, India, and South Africa, aims to assess the current state of wealth and income inequality and provide policymakers with effective solutions. The urgency of their work is underscored by their commitment to presenting evidence-based policy proposals capable of addressing the challenges posed by escalating inequality. The six independent experts are: - Professor Joseph Stiglitz (USA): Nobel Laureate in Economics; university professor at Columbia University and chief economist of the Roosevelt Institute. - Dr Adriana E. Abdenur (Brazil): Brazilian social scientist, former Special Advisor in International Affairs in the office of President Lula of Brazil; co-founder of the Brazilian think tank, Plataforma CIPÓ, and current co-President of the Global Fund for a New Economy (GFNE). - Ms Winnie Byanyima (Uganda): Executi…

Hawaii Appoints Seth Colby as Chief State Economist

title: Hawaii Appoints Seth Colby as Chief State Economist
description: HONOLULU - The Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) of Hawaii announced the appointment of political economist Seth Colby as the new Chief State Economist. Colby will head the Research and Economic Analysis Division (READ), which is responsible for collecting and analyzing data related to Hawaii’s economy, covering crucial areas like tourism, labor, energy, and demographics. Colby joins DBEDT after serving as the tax research and planning officer for the Hawaii Department of Taxation, where he managed research on the state’s revenue system and macroeconomic forecasting. DBEDT Director James Kunane Tokioka expressed excitement over Colby's appointment, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive economic analyses in promoting a competitive and productive Hawaii economy. In his new role, Colby aims to lead the READ team to produce critical analytical products that will empower both public and private decision-making processes. Originally from California, Colby moved to Hawaii in 2016. He is fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish. In a recent interview with the Aloha Daily Newspaper, he revealed that it was as a result of his undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences and subsequent time in Africa in the US Peace Corps that he realised that "good intentions are not enough to bring billions of people out of poverty", and set him on his path towards development economics and political economy. While in Africa, he was confronted with the question of how it could be that people in developing countries could be working "just as hard, if not harder" than people he knew from the US, but were "five to eight times poorer". He was inspired to gain a Masters and later a PhD in Political Economy from John Hopkins University, and gained experience in economic and social development across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa with organizations such as the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank. Colby is the fourth person to hold the title…

Trump Moves to Remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook
type: NewsArticle
title: Trump Moves to Remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook
description: In a contentious move, Trump has begun the process of removing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. The news broke as Trump published the termination letter to Cook on his social media platform, Truth Social. However, whether the move is legal or not is unclear. In US law, Fed governors can only be removed for some kind of wrongdoing, or "cause". Cook has not been charged with any crime, although has recently had to defend her actions related to mortgages she has taken out on two properties, after accusations from William Pulte, the Trump-appointed director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). The move has raised eyebrows among economists and politicians alike, spurring debates about the politicization of what has traditionally been viewed as a non-partisan institution. As Trump pushes forward with his agenda—aimed at reshaping governmental bodies to reflect his fiscal philosophies—his engagement in Federal Reserve operations indicates a desire to steer economic policy in a direction he deems more favorable. The implications of Cook's potential removal could be far-reaching, altering the dynamics of the Fed's decision-making and its response to ongoing economic challenges. The Trump administration's history with the Federal Reserve has often been characterized by tension and critique, particularly regarding interest rate hikes and inflation management strategies. Analysts are concerned that such political maneuvers might undermine the Federal Reserve's autonomy, which is essential for effective economic governance. As this story develops, it will be closely monitored by financial markets and political observers alike, with a potential impact on U.S. monetary policy going forward. Appointed during the Biden administration, Cook’s tenure has seen her engage in pivotal discussions regarding interest rates, inflation, and economic policy. Trump's motives appear tied to dissatisfaction with the Fed's current monetary policies, particularly its response to rising …

But you will hear it from those who have cooked in this kitchen: former PhD students like me, who came out the other side with the degree in hand. Marry your research topic A PhD is the kind of commitment you make in a long-term relationship. Over four years (or more), you will likely stay within the same field, so choose wisely. Think of it as keeping the spark alive: you will go to conferences where people mostly discuss your topic, read endless papers about it, and produce your own knowledge within it. All of this, day after day (weekends off are not guaranteed). Of course, you will have some flexibility to branch out within your field, but the core focus tends to remain the same, so genuine curiosity and passion for your topic help immensely. When I began my PhD journey, I felt pretty solid in my choice. I had already written my Master’s thesis on the same topic and worked as a research assistant during my undergrad years on a related project. That early start helped me familiarise myself with the field, the key literature, and the main gaps. Because the topic felt so familiar, I was genuinely excited to keep reading those papers. That kept me going without ever feeling bored. Grow comfortable with asking questions Your first big question will be your research question. But rest assured, many more follow: technical questions like how to cluster standard errors for a tricky model; practical ones like how to book accommodation for a conference using graduate school funds. Later on, you’ll face a bigger one: I am nearly done — what do I do next, and how exactly? I was never shy about asking questions when I felt uncertain, and it helped me learn how things work fast. That efficiency…
disambiguating description: You are about to start your journey as a PhD student this fall. Congratulations! It must feel like you now have all the time in the world to turn that research proposal you submitted with your application into reality. So, how do you make the most of that experience?

BlackRock's Larry Fink Named Interim Co-Chairman of World Economic Forum
type: NewsArticle
title: BlackRock's Larry Fink Named Interim Co-Chairman of World Economic Forum
description: Fink's appointment is seen as a strategic move, given BlackRock's significant influence in the financial sector and Fink's understanding of the interplay between economics, politics, and environmental sustainability. Fink has long been an advocate for corporate responsibility and sustainable finance, aligning closely with the WEF's mission to improve the state of the world through public-private cooperation. His leadership is expected to guide the WEF through upcoming discussions that will focus on crucial challenges such as climate change, inequality, and the future of work. The World Economic Forum, a not-for-profit non-governmental organization and think tank known for its annual meetings in Switzerland, has always been at the forefront of fostering dialogue among global leaders. Fink's interim appointment is anticipated to enhance those discussions. As the world navigates through recovery from the pandemic and economic uncertainties, Fink's insights will be invaluable in shaping the responses of businesses and governments alike. This announcement comes as the WEF looks to bolster its leadership amid shifting global economic dynamics and amid a recent announcement that an internal investigation has cleared WEF founder Klaus Schwab of allegations made by anonymous whistleblowers involving expense irregularities. Schwab stepped down from the WEF in April of this year. Stakeholders in the global economy remain optimistic about the diverse perspectives that Fink will bring to the WEF, especially in advocating for sustainable business practices and investment strategies that prioritize long-term growth and resilience. This appointment marks a significant moment for both Fink and the WEF, indicating a continuation of their commitment to tackling pressing issues while adapting to a rapidly changing global landscape.

Summer Recruitment and Student Clearing - Last Minute Candidate Matching That Still Makes an Impact
type: Article
title: Summer Recruitment and Student Clearing - Last Minute Candidate Matching That Still Makes an Impact
description: While many students have a job or university course lined up for September, others do not, and are frantically seeking an opening for a master’s program, MBA program, bachelor’s program, or even a PhD opportunity. For many graduates, the race is on to avoid a return back to their parent’s spare room, and they are actively looking for a postgraduate job, traineeship or internship. On the other side of the equation, student recruiters may still be sweating about whether they can fill all the seats for their university programs. And employers face a unique opportunity to recruit fresh graduates. Given the pressure, real or perceived, for graduates to land a job quickly, the summer offers recruiters a pool of highly motivated and qualified, yet unusually flexible candidates who are anxious to find meaningful employment after years of study. How this “scramble” between candidates and recruiters plays out can vary, depending on whether the opportunities in question are undergraduate (bachelor) programs, postgraduate (master’s or PhD) positions. In online platforms like INOMICS, we notice a surge of interest in graduate positions over the summer, as well as extended campaigns from recruiters for those study programs that still have capacity. In some countries there are even structures in place to handle the need to urgently place candidates. An example is the “Clearing” process for school leavers, i.e. prospective undergraduate students, who have not yet secured a place in the UK university system. Clearing - A Case-Study in last-minute recruitment Between July and early October, universities and colleges across the UK (and increasingly across Europe) engage in UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) Clearing - a critical second wave of student decision-making. Typically over 30,000 courses still have places to fill at the start of July each year, and hundreds of thousands of students will be looking for the right fit. But this isn’t just a student-facing p…
