MIEPA is pleased to announce that five new country analyses have been added to the seven previously available. The five new countries analyzed are: Brazil, Germany, Pakistan, Thailand and Venezuela. In addition, the analysis of China has been re-written. These papers are written by native students of these countries studying in California. They are available for your reading at the web address below. The other six countries also available at the site are: Japan, Korea, Russia, Taiwan, Turkey and Vietnam. see: http://www.mkeever.com (There is no 'c' in mkeever) The paper on Thailand was written during the recent crisis and provides some of the crisis atmosphere; the Korea piece was written well before the crisis, but provides evidence of the coming problems. The study of Germany provides an interesting contrast of a relatively well managed economy. Students compared their home countries' economic policies with a list of 33 policies created by MIEPA as a measure of sound policy. These policies are also available at the site. Your comments and suggestions are welcome. Students and others who wish to write a study of their home economy for publication here are invited to contact MIEPA directly. Mike P.
