The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of reforms that took place in Indian economy in 1991. Balance of payment difficulty resulted in acute economic crisis and therefore economic reforms were inevitable. Post this incident; there have been three more phases of economic reforms. Economic reforms were compelled due to international pressure of the situation post balance of payment crisis of 1991. The significance of this study lies in the derivation of various ways in which these reforms played a major role in the transformation of Indian economy in the form of its impact on poverty, education, socio-cultural mixture, economic growth etc. We have tried to revisit situation of payments crisis and tried to understand if these reforms were enough and were they concrete measures to tackle long-term problem or if they were only sufficient to handle the crisis. Finally we have tried to find out, as to what was left out of reforms or what other measures could have been taken. Balance of payment difficulties are difficulties faced by most of the underdeveloped or developing countries

Turkish economy has a growing trend after the 2000-2001 economic crises, although ups and downs were experienced in some periods. Some of the important components of Turkish economy are the construction industry and the related housing industry. The construction industry in Turkey has a multiplier effect in the economy since it uses domestic inputs and creates jobs for the labor. Also, the construction sector actors operate overseas and enable inflow of foreign currency to Turkey, thus fostering economic growth. In the recent years, foreign funds and overseas firms have an increasing interest in Turkish construction industry. The Turkish housing industry as one of the leading components of construction industry has also experienced eye-catching developments in the recent years. Definitely, the Turkish housing industry is now much more competitive compared to former years. The global economic crisis of 2008 originated from the housing industry and had devastating effects all over the world. However, the 2008 global economic crisis had relatively lighter effects in Turkey. Parallel to the improvements in construction and housing industries, several financial alternatives exist today. Banks have diversified their credit products considering the needs of consumers. Moreover, the mortgage law going in effect and the mortgage practices becoming popular have contributed to the progress of housing industry. This study analyzed the effect of housing loans and their diversification on economic growth. The research concentrated on the 2010-2015 period, where the impact of 2008 global crisis has diminished.

AbstractThis paper addresses the impact of fundamental (economic, political and geopolitical) uncertainties on GDP growth of the world’s largest 20 economies (W-20) using the Cobb-Douglas total production function within the scope of the second-generation panel data methodology for 1990–2016. The aim of the paper is to explore whether these uncertainties lead to a contractionary impact on growth as suggested by the economic theory. The estimation results revealed that indeed this was the case. Our results also indicate that the global uncertainties led the economic growth rates of the selected countries to perform below their exact potential since the 2008 global economic crisis and to fail to attain an expected recovery during the process.

Summary Background: The global crisis that began in 2007 has been the most prolonged economic recession since 1929. It has caused worldwide tangible costs in terms of cuts in employment and income, which have been widely recognised also as major social determinants of mental health (1, 2). The so-called “Great Recession” has disproportionately affected the most vulnerable part of society of the whole Eurozone (3). Across Europe, an increase in suicides and deaths rates due to mental and behavioural disorders was reported among those who lost their jobs, houses and economic activities as a consequence of the crisis.
