New years!

The new year brings hope for bigger and better things, and I am no different!

My new years resolution is to write everyday.  Well, at least 6 of the 7 days a week.  Decent enough, right?  Also – I’m attempting to get a domain name for this, as I’d like to have more control over the look and feel of my presentation.

Let’s start off - 

Some ideas I would like to explore: 

• Basel accord (I & II)
• Keynes vs Friedman
• Pegging fed funds to an index

Anyone else have any suggestions? 

Also – a little FYI for my reader(s), another personal new years resolution is to get into a PhD program (or, the very least, a master’s) in economics.  I’ve signed up for the GRE exam for the end of February, as well as linear algebra (beyond calculus) at Harvard (extension school, mind you) to firm up my application.  I plan on refreshing my stats and calculus as well, and hopefully do another research project, like that of the FHLB exploration.  Schools I’m looking at are University of Washington, Suffolk University, Goethe University in Frankfurt, CERGE in Prague, University of Chicago (a reach, I know), and maybe UC San Diego, MIT (streeeetttcchhh) and another safety and/or international school.  Anyone know of any other good schools for economics?  

Cheers!
