Milken Institute Review Second Quarter 2013
April 2013
In the latest Milken Institute Review, Jonathan Morduch of NYU challenges the conventional wisdom of what microfinance can do for developing countries, saying the evidence suggests that better financial access does, indeed, give families improved ways to cope with poverty, but seldom offers the means to escape it.
Also in this issue: hard evidence showing that bankers are your friends; the method in the madness of K-Pop; a silver lining for the world in Israel’s seeming endless struggle for survival; a comparison of the parallel disasters that beset the Icelandic and Irish economies when the global financial bubble burst, and their very different approaches; rationale against regulating giant Internet companies; a primer on resurrecting the economies of countries (like Afghanistan) that are collateral damage in modern wars; a review of Benn Steil’s new book, The Battle of Bretton Woods; and more.

Milken Institute Review First Quarter 2013
January 2013
In the latest Milken Institute Review, Drew Shindell, a climate scientist at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, urges policymakers to postpone the showdown on carbon emissions to focus on other potent sources of warming such as methane, soot particles and ozone whose containment would yield a quick, low-cost payoff. Also in this issue: what you need to know about crowdfunding, the future of North Korea under the newest Kim, the mess created by unfunded public pension liabilities that may exceed $4 trillion, stemming the illicit financial flows from developing countries ranging from drug money to tax dodges, the economic challenges facing post-revolutionary Egypt, and measuring "currency aggression" to understand the impact on jobs.

October 2012
In the latest Milken Institute Review, demographer Brad Edmondson describes a battle for the hearts and lungs of billions of women in the emerging markets as Big Tobacco tries to expand sales outside the West. Also in this issue: signs of a truce between drug makers and developing nations over intellectual property rights, the triumph of privatized ocean fisheries, making the case for oil, how small changes in the design of 401(k) plans make huge differences in retirement, the promise and pitfalls of virtual banking, an inside peek at the Milken Institute's Best Cities for Successful Aging index, and why the experience of big business is pertinent to administering the Affordable Care Act.

Milken Institute Review Third Quarter 2012
July 2012
James R. Barth, Apanard Prabha and Phillip Swagel of the Institute report on what's been done to prevent another financial meltdown -- and the prospects for their success. Menzie Chinn (University of Wisconsin) and Jeffry Frieden (Harvard) offer a crazy idea about how to deal with the global debt overhang -- crazy like a fox. Also in this issue: startling (and welcome) information on population change in predominantly Muslim countries, an exploration of long-term unemployment, analysis of the economics of antibiotics, a look at bringing snail mail into the 21st century, what needs to happen in housing, what could drive improvement in energy efficiency, and an excerpt from "Why Nations Fail."
