[Justina Ky]

Foundedin 2004, The Financial Economics Institute (FEI) provides opportunities for students interested in finance and related areas to develop research skills and engage with both academics studying finance and practitioners working in the world of finance. Students can work closely with finance and economics faculty as well as assist FEI staff with general operations.

The Financial Economics Institute (FEI) at CMC will be celebrating its 20th Anniversary, along with the 50th Anniversary of the Student Investment Fund (SIF), on Feb 16th, 2024. Please mark your calendars and come visit us in Claremont for a day of celebrations, reconnecting with fellow alumni, and meeting with the current students and faculty.

The 20th edition of the I.S.E.O. Summer School was held from June 15th to June 22nd, 2024 in Iseo, a small city on the shores of Lake Iseo in Northern Italy. The event took place at the 4-star Iseolago Hotel.

During Summer School, students had the chance to do much more than just learn and study. They had unique opportunities to engage with lecturers during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, forming lifelong connections with participants from all around the world.

You can also download the program of the course, the list of participants and the press release (in Italian) at the bottom of this page, or check our photo-gallery with some of the best shots of the I.S.E.O. Summer School 2024 here.

Lists of 'the best' or 'the most important' are meant to be controversial. This list has the added feature that there is some dispute about whether one can even talk about 'economics' much before Adam Smith. But I get to flout that discussion in the hope of starting another. Let the arguments begin:

Includes what is regarded as the foundation of double-entry bookkeeping, at Section IX, Treatise XI apparently. Try this 1588 English translation onsite, thanks to our subscription to Early English Books Online. Or also onsite, see this later reproduction and translation.

Healthcare executives are often inundated with information, yet they frequently lack the crucial data needed to make sound decisions. The study of economics provides a road map for focusing on relevant information and weighing advantages and costs to achieve the greatest net benefit.

Economics for Healthcare Managers presents fundamental economic concepts and applies them to current policy and management challenges. It uses straightforward explanations and real-life examples to make economics understandable and practical. The topics it addresses reflect the challenges faced by healthcare managers, such as market demand, profitability, risk, and regulations.

This thoroughly updated edition includes the latest research and data and addresses the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also new in this fifth edition are the following subjects:

An in-depth examination of the effects of the Affordable Care ActThree new cases that explore efforts to improve population healthStreamlined discussion of elasticities, with a focus on their use in forecastingExpanded coverage of risk managementThe numerous cases, discussion questions, and activities in Economics for Healthcare Managers provide readers with myriad opportunities to apply essential economic concepts while learning how various healthcare organizations operate.

At the turn of the 20th century, home economics was a critical pathway into higher education for American women, largely associated with co-educational land grant institutions such as Cornell. From its inception, collegiate home economics was multidisciplinary and integrative with an emphasis on science applied to the real world of the home, families and communities. In the early decades of the 20th century, home economists had links to the revitalization of agriculture and rural communities, but also to Progressive Era programs in cities. By the 1920s, home economists at Cornell were best known for research in human nutrition and child development, but their work in fields such as fiber science, design and consumer economics made them central to the growth of the consumer economy as well. Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, collegiate programs prepared thousands of women for public school teaching but many also had careers in the extension service, state and federal governments, industry, hospitals, restaurants and hotels. But by the late 1950s and the early 1960s, broad changes in American women's economics and social roles made collegiate education in home economics seem "old fashioned," an image that did not do justice to its rich history. In celebration of the New York State College of Human Ecology's Centennial, this exhibition will emphasize how home economics at Cornell University, served as a critical bridge from domesticity in the 19th century to modernity in the 20th century and will attempt to answer the question: What was home economics? To begin, select a link at the right.

A more diverse range of universities and countries are excelling across disciplines, but it is still harder than ever to compete with the elite in the UK and the US, according to the the latest Times Higher Education World University Rankings data.

The number of territories represented in the top 10 of the 11 subject rankings has grown from five to eight in five years, with Australia, China and Singapore joining Canada, Switzerland, Hong Kong, the UK and the US in the latest tables, published this week. The subject rankings cover arts and humanities; business and economics; clinical and health; computer science; education; engineering; law; life sciences; physical sciences; psychology; and social sciences.

The business and economics ranking has also diversified over the past five years. While just one more territory is represented in the top 10, and the same number of countries feature in the top 50, the dominance of the UK and the US is waning. These two countries claim 25 of the top 50 places this year, compared with 32 in the 2020 edition.

China is the only country outside the US and the UK that makes the top 10, but it claims two places: Tsinghua University is eighth and Peking University is 10th. Singapore, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands and Japan are among the other countries whose institutions are ranked in the top 50.

Usha Haley, W. Frank Barton distinguished chair in international business and professor of management at Wichita State University, said that visa issues and political perceptions in recent years had affected how international students valued US and UK institutions. Students from China and India who secured work visas after studying for an MBA in the US still struggled with getting jobs because of citizenship requirements, she said.
